All of those sites are right-wing propaganda operations. Every single one of them.

Factual news is almost always going to be liberal biased. Sites like these encourage journalists to bias their news stories to the right for no good reason.

I’m surprised so many people are falling for this.

Oh yeah. This does it for me too. A 20-something volume series space-opera or tactical space-war is perfect for GSD. Works great for insomnia too.

Fortunately we’re in a sci-fi golden-age so there’s lots of great stuff to keep a brain happily occupied while the body mindlessly toils. Urban fantasy is another great genre for this. There’s even urban-fantasy space-opera if that’s your thing, lol.

If a writer cares so little about their audience that they put their article on Medium, it’s not worth reading.

The purpose of Medium is to sell advertising to generate as large a return for investors as possible. As a blogging or “journalism” platform it’s mostly a scam for those who don’t know better.

I find it odd that anyone thinks there’s going to be (fair) elections. The Democrats (or any party other than MAGA Republicans) are never going to be in power again, ever.

Too any rich and powerful people will end up in prison if that happened, and right now they’re the ones writing (and rewriting) the rules and breaking the things they can’t control.

It’s going on in front of everyone’s eyes and the consequences are just being ignored by most. It’s mindboggling.

The implication is that on meds they’re super-focused and goal-oriented. Without they’re having fun and trying new ideas. Neither is good or bad, right or wrong. Rings true for me.

Meds aren’t going to make anyone neurotypical – they just help them harness their awesomely chaotic mind so they can do something more productive with it.

And why wouldn’t they? It’s not like votes are going to matter anymore.

What makes you think you have to kill people? Why not just sink their yachts, burn their planes and homes? Dox them. Shut down airports with drones – nationally. Burn their warehouses, datacenters, factories. Hack their computers and steal their money. Etc… etc…

Americans are so indoctrinated that they think killing is the natural next progression of peaceful protests.

Humiliating them is much more damaging to their stupid movement.

I would be surprised if some Trump minion with a backchannel didn’t make the initial ask.

Having a “Board of Directors” is how we do it.

The community elects the board, and the job of the board is to figure out how to do what the community wants. Absolutely no hierarchy or leadership (except from within the community).

I had a friend who would say, “I’m tired of your bullshit” and just leave or hangup. A lot of my friends are on the spectrum (if not deep into it), so I’m used to them awkwardly making excuses or just leaving without a word. But this was the first time I saw someone use this quirk for comedic effect.

That’s because overseas vacationers to the US buy their tickets many months ahead of time for deeper discounts and to make sure they can get a hotel room. Give it a couple more months…

For those concerned (or hopeful) about vast hordes of topless Minnesota women roaming the streets: They made boobs legal in Ontario in the mid 90’s and I’ve NEVER seen any women go topless in public. I’m sure it happens, but it’s extremely rare. Heck, most guys still swim in t-shirts up here.

The point of the law in Canada was to make a point that if men and women are to be equal, the law should reflect that. Of course in the US it’s about sex and not equality.

I’ve seen this instruction when adding parts with pre-wired connections. I assumed it was because the wires were stranded and possibly CCA (aluminum) and a smaller diameter than 14-gauge, and so wouldn’t make a reliable connection with a wire nut and too brittle to crimp.

Otherwise I would guess that they’re worried about vibration shaking the connection loose, and the WAGO clamping pressure was determined to be better than the spring in a wire nut. But crimping would be best in this case, so ???

It has nothing to do with training LLMs.

The US government data (each US citizen’s health, tax, etc. records) will be added to the data from Meta, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, and every other tech company that stores “advertising” data to create more complete profiles of each and every US citizen. This data can then be analyzed, filtered, collected and collated by whatever criteria “they” want, for whatever purpose.

NOW the LLMs can be used on this dataset to create lists. Very dangerous (and mostly wrong) lists.

Considering almost all Canadian media is owned by the US and the desperate push for PP by propagandists, I think it turned out about as good as can be expected.

30% of the population are just terrible people who are easily swayed by lies and propaganda (the same as in other countries). The rest are just regular Conservative “I’ve got mine” shitheads.

The solution is to stop the propaganda, not appease the idiots or we’ll end up like the US anyway. Canada already has the laws it just has to enforce them.

We need a wiki where regular people can document and store evidence on the nazis, fascists and enablers currently destroying America. Not just ICE, but everyone. A place where sleuths can unmask and put a name on the worst of them. Where hackers can upload ICE payroll or employee databases. Perhaps even put together an interactive map showing where these people live so their neighbors can be safe.

Once the bastards see their names in print with proof of their crimes out in public perhaps they’ll realize how short their future is. Otherwise it’ll come in handy for the trials.

I tried watching it, but after 10 minutes had to forget that it’s Star Trek and pretend that it’s just some cheezy standalone Sci-Fi movie. After another 10 minutes I noped out completely.

It’s like it was written by someone who never watched Star Trek and hated Sci-Fi.
