Poor kids. It's easy to hate on the parents, but these kids didn't sign up for this.

I wonder if this momentarily saddens them, or if this is what they actually wanted all along.

Can we stop this kind of discourse? Let's criticize trumpers for their actual bad opinions that they have really shared out loud, instead of imagining them being hypocrites in an alternate universe.

The problem is that you're not already fabulously wealthy as one of Canada's elite. You really should have thought about that before you decided on your current lifestyle as a middle class Canadian.

Agreed. Their talk about beating China is them trying to manifest their happy future with good vibes, not a reflection of them putting effort towards actual successes.

The US has been declining in its ability to seriously lead for decades. It's taken a giant leap towards failure in recent months, but don't think that Trump was the first step in that direction.

A US ally? Have these guys even been watching the news? The US doesn't have allies.

Pierre Poillievre is a blight on this country, but let's not pretend that chatgpt is a fair and unbiased provider of high quality information.

They're good at some things, but people try to use them to do more than just those things. But you're right that it's clearly not a one-size-fits-all argument against LLMs.

It says it right there, in Two Corinthians.

We won't cure any isms as long as we insist on selfish individualism as the greatest good. If I think of things in terms of dollars that are being taken from me and given to someone else, then of course I'm going to hate high needs people. Meeting their needs hurts me, in this line of thinking.

Christians come in all flavours. She's a despicable human being by all accounts, but who are you to judge her relationship with her God?

Please write down exactly what you did and submit it as a bug report to the developers. Duplication glitches are major bugs that should not be widely disseminated before they are patched.

I was expecting something outrageous, but what you provided is tame and unremarkable. They're different formats, but their messages aren't that different. I hate everything Pierre Poillievre stands for, but I feel like his message actually contained less overt political pandering.

I just finished the first book in the series, and have purchased the next. The magic in this series is wonderfully imaginative.

Thank goodness DOGE flagged wasteful spending like this! Wait, that's not what happened?

It kinda feels like setting America on fire must have been the point all along, right? How else do you explain the catastrophically destructive behaviour that just keeps on happening?

As a white man, I know that I will get things wrong sometimes, and that sometimes I will be judged, despite my best intentions. But that doesn't mean I should throw up my hands and do nothing. If I do, I place my fear of being judged higher than the real suffering of people less privileged than me.

No, a lot of Canadians are pissed off at all of corporate America.

I agree with this condemnation of guns' rights advocates' talking points, but want to push back on the idea that violence is the only solution.

The GOP is full of power-hungry ruler-class people who wield the rules like a weapon, to persecute their enemies, but not to limit their own power. They do not intend to be held to the rules they hold anyone else to. That's not what rules are for, to them.

The thought process goes something like this: "Minorities that I hate are stupid and bad at all things. Therefore, any program that puts them in positions of power will obviously fail." They'll use different language to sound less like bigots, but that seems to be the core of it.

Do I get to choose if I'm a billionaire before I answer?

I'm thankful that I've gone so long without seeing this nonsense on bluesky. There's an element of truth in any good lie, but the law of attraction is a grift.

This one is thornier than many people in the comments seem to suggest. A NY doctor mailed pills to a person living in TX. The pills are legal in NY, but illegal in TX.

I mean, they've been fed those same ideas directly from God their entire lives (See: Original Sin). Of course they've internalized it and think it is the good, just way.

I get what you're saying. But how do we hold corporations accountable? If your message is "do nothing and hope for the best", we've tried that and it hasn't worked. Give us another way if you want to move us towards nonviolence.

What would that crime even be? Vandalism, maybe?

Lol. I have heard that if you want to get away with murder, the best way is to do it with a car.

I use magnetic cables with a dongle that goes in your charging port to combat this. It also means that I can buy a bunch of cables, and charge any electronic thing that needs charging with any of them, regardless of whether they're USB C, micro USB, or that apple one.

I think you totally missed the point of the OP. She's saying that people being able to talk the talk is less important than them actually walking the walk. You've read up on all the important feminist writings? Great! You sit on the couch watching football instead of helping keep the house? GTFO!

Couldn't he have at least waited until he had taken office, so he could pretend he actually tried to do something about it?
comment in response to

Sure. But how different is murder with a spreadsheet from murder with a gun? We criminalize one, and celebrate the other (in fact, we mandate it by law!). That's what the recent events have brought to the forefront of the conversation. For sure, there's nuance, and a discussion to be had, though.

As an atheist with problems with religion in general, I think that some religious groups don't adopt hateful bigoted attitudes. But they are certainly not the most vocal, and so they are not in the public discourse. I wish moderate religious groups would publicly call out the extremists.

Firefox is still worth considering, too.

It's hard to distinguish between a contrarian and a disagreement, though. And it's important to be open to at least polite disagreements if we don't want this place to turn into a different kind of toxic echo chamber.

That's because once America decided that it was developed, it stopped continuing to develop. It stopped trying, and has been coasting on past successes for decades.

He's not killing any current supporters. Those already have their vaccines. He's killing the next generation, who tend to vote less conservative.

Probably not. The rest of the planet is vaccinated. It's the awful ideas that are the most dangerous. We haven't found a successful vaccine for those, yet.

Oh no, it most certainly is about kids. But it's not about protecting them for their own sakes. It's about protecting the parents' rights to them as their property.

It's the price we have to pay for freedom. /s
It's so easy to do senseless things when we think that it will be someone else paying the price.

I see a lot of people saying "no" to ads, and saying that they'd pay a subscription. But what would that even look like? The vast majority of people won't pay for an online service. Do you have 2 tiers of accounts? What perks will people pay for, without ruining the service?

Right? I know how long I want most stuff to heat, and I'm not going to stand there at the microwave watching it, when I've got other things that need doing. If I was designing a microwave for myself, it would have a "sensor reheat" button, a numpad for time, and separate 3/5/7/10 power level buttons

That doesn't necessarily mean that he's not 10x smarter than Trump.

Crazy that this is not a cold take.
