I absolutely did not have "Butthead becomes AG" on my bingo card and I'm mad about it.

Just make sure you get a cable that does power but not data. It's not that hard to modify those outlets to inject malware onto your devices.

I love when my favorite youtubers step out of their lane into politics with intelligent and well researched takes. Steve Shives does this a lot, and I adore it.

Same. I felt like I had to plug my nose when I voted for Clinton and Biden. Harris was an easy sell for me though. She's towing the party line because she has to, but when she cracks in interviews, her progressive side starts to show.

Because Weed is almost harmless at it's worst, and gambling is predatory and exploitative at it's best?

I do not think he KNOWS history. I think he gets all his information from social media.

I'd rather market to 12 million (based on the counts I saw yesterday) real people than 150 million bots. Bots aren't going to buy my video game. I view Bsky as a targeted market. I don't even think we're going to bother making a twitter account for the company, it's a dead platform.

Yep. Max always gets double standards. I don't know that I'm a dedicated fan to any team per se. Sainz is probably my favorite driver just because I love his personality. I like Pastry, but I think Lando is kind of a tool. Even then, I'd like to see the race be fair.

It really is amazing how immune Trump is to the cringe effect. Clinton's campaign was killed by "lets pokemon go to the polls!" Meanwhile, Trump is literally talking about people's dicks, and doing the most staged fake appearances possible. It baffles me.

I worked for Apple for 4 years. Those decisions were intentional. :|

It was happening SO MUCH that I legit just thought it was everyone seeing it. I wonder why my experience has been so different than yours. It has been better the last two days but I muted a bunch of posters manually who were chain posting things I found unsettling or uncomfortable

We have a few for work (we're developing a game for steamdeck) and even when our game was chugging absolute ass, we still got at least an hour out of it. It's a pretty cool device. Way bigger than I thought it'd be for some reason, like HUGE compared to a switch.

It's crazy to me that people are less interested this year. It's so much MORE exciting this year (I haven't watched today's race yet, waiting for my wife to get home from DnD because she'll KILL ME if I watch it without her. Last year was a snooze fest.

We'd be driving 8 hours for it and taking time off work weeks in advance, sadly not an option for us. :( If I lived in las vegas, I would for sure be doing that. We watched last year and never saw the prices dip. :(

I voted in the primary for mid terms in 2022, but you can see it wasn't counted. I failed to follow up on that and it upsets me even though there were like 2 elections on the ballot for my area. I wont be letting that happen this time.

They just did the exact same thing. There was a huge influx last week of very right leaning polls flooding the zone with polls saying Trump is stomping. Many republicans vote for the "winning side" which is why they cannot accept the outcome of the last election.

Yeah uhhh this is excellent, no need to commission anything. I thought it was a photo at first.

How is it so far? My partner and I live closer to Las Vegas, but the prices have us looking at driving all the way to USGP next year. We really want to see a race in person, but $3k for 2 people to have seats in Las Vegas is toooo much.

I have no clue, but what's wrong with muting content you don't want to see? It's super cool when we do it for Nazis, Zoophiles, etc I don't think anyone would argue against that, but there's already a tool for people to remove posters they don't want to see, it's mute lists, and that's ok.

I don't want to see ANY porn on this app, hence why I turned on ALL of the nudity filters for this site. I still get anime girls making orgasm faces covered in white liquid and furries committing graphic sex acts, and somehow it's my fault for wanting to mute artists?
comment in response to

I'm not sure how I took your words out of context, also I'm sorry if I sound mad, definitely not my intent, I just have weird speech patterns because ND. I'm glad you are able to follow the artists you want. I just want the "show less like this" and nudity features to do something.

And just for full transparency, I run a small company and I employ 4 full time artists. I love art. I commissioned my PFP and banner from an artist and tipped $20 extra per comm. I love art, but I don't want to necessarily see it in my Bsky feed because maybe I'm here for something else?

It's a large platform that has all kinds of different content on it. What is wrong with say, a journalist, wanting to mute all artist accounts so they have less to scroll through when looking for news content? It's not necessarily a slight at artists.

There's not a whole lot of alternatives to twitter though.
comment in response to
post
So just because you like art, and that's specifically what you want to see, that's the only thing the platform should be for? Is bluesky only for art? I see people posting news, politics, cat photos, etc. Are they on the wrong site? There's lots of sites specifically for art, like artstation.
comment in response to

What would you even call it? "Art snobs who think you a required to look at everything they draw whether you want to or not?" There's gotta be a more succinct way to put it.
It would be a non-issue if the filters and the "show less like this" worked.

I bet he didn't pay for the food he gave away either because he's such a cheap ass. I hope the people working that day got paid extra to deal with him.

The fact that he is fucking up fry station doesn't give me hope. I was a crew trainer in high school, and I would have sent him to clean the bathrooms for botching the fries that badly. This is the most work he's ever done in his life.

Quite a good explanation, but I genuinely think some of the people I have spoken to still wouldn't get it. :|

Not everyone has to be a leader. Hire the person who will fit the role the best. If it's a leadership role, higher the leader, but I much prefer to promote from within for leadership whenever possible. If someone doesn't interview well, they're probably not actually a good leader.

Right, so if I don't want to see overtly horny art constantly, that means I need to be doomed to the app full of Nazis? No thanks. The nudity filters let graphic stuff through often, and it's ok to not want to look at that stuff.
comment in response to
post
Exactly. I'm not conservative, but I look at Bluesky at work on breaks, and seeing overly smutty content constantly, despite having all of the nudity filters on, makes me feel awkward and like I'm doing something wrong. I shouldn't see a drawing of two men blowing each other if I don't want to.

I'd argue that if someone's primary driving force is to be famous, their absence on the platform is a good thing. :) I prefer the people that want quality over quantity.

I used to obsess over being as productive as possible and earning as much as I could. I ended up getting hurt and disabled, which taught me to just be happy with what I had. I make less money, but "enough" to be comfortable and I'm 10x happier.

I wish the cat pics feed was actually just photos of cats.

I smiled a lot and gave compliments to people. That typically got them talking to me or dancing with me. Not that you can talk too much with loud music.
