I am a time-traveling dolphin. An entity made of giant balls gave me the ability to breathe underwater, but this ability was recently stolen from me by aliens.
Sometimes I turn into a bird.
Fucking lol. I can’t believe that shit’s real and from Reuters of all places.
I couldn’t find the graph on an original Reuters article (they must have gotten embarrassed and pulled it down lmao), but Business Insider still has it on their version of the article
(edit: and this is just time vs murders, not time vs gun deaths, a better statistic for this)
Which, in an ideal world, is why AI generated comments should be labeled.
I always break when I see a deer at the side of the road.
(Yes people can lie on the Internet. If you funded an army of propagandists to convince people by any means necessary I think you would find it expensive. People generally find lying like this to feel bad. It would take a mental toll. With AI, this looks possible for cheaper.)
Do you not charge it when you sleep? I don’t even have to charge mine every day because it’s pretty new and I’m barely on it. And I use GrapheneOS so it’s debloated.
I have to sign in to 2-5 programs to complete service for customers
I use shared terminals so I have to sign out when I am done
Each task takes about 3-4 minutes of computer work, feels like most of my time spent is typing in a 15 character password in 2-5 programs. I do this all day, 8hr shift, graveyards.
I just change a single digit number on this password when the 90 day rotation happens. Typing it in incorrectly 3 times gets me locked out, a call to IT. I work for tips, no time for that. My work environment is distracting, noisy and stressful, so even if I wanted to use “best practices” in choosing passwords, I really shouldn’t.
Management refuses to replace keyboards that aren’t in good repair. Several have keys that stick.
I type in a 15-char password probably 100+ times a day.
my phone is dead for 2fa
Lmao skill issue
pushes glasses up nose well actually,
Radiowaves are electromagnetic radiation (like visible light and microwaves). Sound waves are kinetic motion between air molecules. Your music radio is receiving electromagnetic waves and converting to sound waves through the radio speakers.
I’m not a biologist or a linguist but I think its perfectly reasonable to call a device that captures inaudible sound a radio. But it is different than your music radio.
The fediverse isn’t ready for this level of sarcasm. Look at those downvotes, lmao.
I do believe that in order to achieve welfare/prosperity, not all the people have to work. And I do believe that there are more important things in life than working. I’d love to be a stay at home dad, but I can’t.
Being a stay at home dad is work. Raising children is necessary work that capitalism requires, because it requires laborers. We have engineered a system in which this work is uncompensated, and if you gender this work, it causes gendered oppression.
I will also point out that in America we have decided that unless you have a “job”, society has decided that you pretty much don’t deserve health care. Anyone who chooses a life of domestic labor in America puts themselves in a position where they are financially dependent on their spouse and their spouse’s employment status. It doesn’t have to be this way. We have forged these chains.
Whether doubling the workforce is a good thing - that I’d keep up for a debate.
If we had more workers, it could be that we wouldn’t need those workers to work as long. Earlier retirement, shorter work weeks, whatever. The issue is not the size of the work force, the issue is what is chosen to be done with it.
Are you trying to imply doubling the available workforce is not good? Its usually a good thing. While their motivations are cynical, those leaders are doing good.
…or are you trying to imply that keeping women out of the traditional work force (by only allowing them to work unpaid in the home in domestic servitude, labor that capital does not value) increases the value of male labor through scarcity, which would be preferred?
Sorry that second question kind of reads as an attack. A shitty coworker of mine said that to me unironically and tried to play it off as a joke when I pushed back.
Ok… but is the picture art??? I don’t think anyone would try to argue it is. Miyazaki was specifically talking about how no algorithm can produce art, and I agree.
What makes this screenshot funny is the human element, the performance! It’s all ridiculous.

I know right? Have any of these posters met a baby? They’re too short for this.
This conversation is great.

For what it’s worth, they have their domain back. It seems from a skim from the front page they’re just deciding how to refederate (allow list or block list, basically they are trying to decide if they will automatically federate with new instances).
At the time of writing this comment the votes are close and allow list is winning (many commenters don’t want to federate with new instances unless they are approved).
Its standard practice for math equations involving spectral densities and Fourier transforms to use the testicles character for the independent variable.
Fourier analysis involves measuring the sampled strength of the signal at different points in time. Its also related to ARIMA models. Essentially, you’re inspecting how cyclical some data is, and the testies are points in time.

We can reject the null hypothesis that you are not a nerd at significance $\alpha < 0.001$.
oh wait, shit let me run that again, my data frame is full of NA somehow, again.
True.
But we’re missing the point here. They just need to bullshit long enough pretending to “remove fraud”. Their goal is to make sure the previously mostly nonpolitical burecracy is entirely under the control of the executive. Reducing services to taxpayers in the name of " reducing government spending/fraud/waste/whatever " is just a nice bonus for them.
They’re lying and they have been for a while. They’re not an unruly, incompetent contractor. They’re traitors and saboteurs.
huh
isn’t this just Russell’s paradox
if I recall correctly Russell’s Paradox was how ZFC set theory became the standard set theory
This is how I do it. I don’t recommend roku though, its covered in ads and it crashes sometimes and requires reboot (Amazon app, not jellyfin)
I’m not purchasing another.
Yes I have a pihole for the ads. The thing is always trying to radio home.
Trump’s terrible politics aside:
the Republican party is pushing legislation which requires you to identify yourself to view porn
you can get around this with a VPN
proton is a VPN (nonprofit, but still).
I’ll be switching email providers when I can… I can’t remember when my subscription ends.
Holy shit. I can’t believe I recognize this art.
This shit is ancient, and it was drawn as satire/bait. Nobody is handing out these flyers seriously. This post is rather embarrassing. Satire is dead I guess.
Edit: sources:
Source for text: scroll for text. I don’t know where the goat went. This website is a high-effort satire page that hasn’t been updated since like 2010. Looks real at first glance but just click around, it’s clearly not a real church.
Ending the tip credit (where employers can pay less than min wage as long as your tips put you at or above min wage) would remove one of the biggest sources of wage theft in America.
I personally was a victim of this when I was a teenager. I worked at a shitty diner for $2.13 an hour and I didn’t know my employer had to make sure I was making at least $6 an hour or whatever (it was a couple decades ago)
I am currently a tipped employees and I support ending the tip credit (I don’t live in Massachusetts tho).
Honestly tipping is a dated practice. It should end. Removing the tip credit won’t kill it though. It’ll just help protect the vulnerable.
