Why use unethical, environmentally disastrous AI to do bad math when any cranky Gen Xer can tell you that 20 years ago was 1980--for free.

Why use unethical, environmentally disastrous AI to do bad math when any cranky Gen Xer can tell you that 20 years ago was 1980--for free.
Yeah, there have been a few that were clearly someone else trying very hard to emulate his style but not nailing it. The short ones could go either way but the lack of a real rant from the cheeto-in-chief himself is š§š§š§
(But I havenāt had a seal fail yet, just a few half jars at the end of a batch that donāt go in the canning bath bc they wouldnāt seal, would risk breaking, and are about the right amount of jam to eat for a week so those just go in the fridge)
Update: 30 jars now, assuming the 10 Iām just finishing up all actually seal properly. Still have a bunch of raspberries and blackberries, may do some more jam next weekend. (Any that do not seal properly just become freezer jam, but the canning is the primary jam storage plan)
If you read the whole series of posts, you may notice that in the second one I mention that it was still a raw deal for the woman. I am pointing out that itās even MORE of a raw deal if you have to do TWO full time jobs instead of one.
I mean, I figure these armchair dem-haters are just here for internet points, so ādunk on a Republicanā is the best theyāre ever realistically likely to do. āThose who canāt do, criticizeā and all that.
Yeah, itās more that kind of left open. There are unresolved plot threads bc they planned a third season, but the characters you love are all left at least at a semi-resolution point, either given an exit from the narrative or at a rest point between plot tensions. Thereās no eternal cliffhanger.
Dried herbs can generally be subbed for fresh, thereās just a volume or weight conversion youād need to look up if you want to match the recipe proportions. Or you can listen to the whispers of your ancestors and measure the seasonings with your heart.
Go do something at least nominally useful and criticize a Republican for a change, JT.
And to this list Iāll add Mamdani, Walz, Pritzker, AOC, Tlaib, Abughazaleh, off the top of my head. Iāll even allow the inclusion of Newsom even though heās broadly a piece of shit, for the sake of āthe enemy of my enemy is a guy whose way I should stay out of while heās attacking my enemyā.
Teenagers with period pain more likely to have chronic adult pain, study says
Seriously, unless the text explicitly says ācall meā, donāt do that.
If sheās gotta pay bills either way why should she babysit your lame ass, bro? Sheās not getting anything out of it! Youāre not paying her bills and she probably has more and better orgasms solo too. You can be replaced by a hitachi and a hitachi doesnāt demand to be cooked for & cleaned up after.
Like yes I want the door to lock so that I am alone to poop and can enforce that alone-ness. I do not care who poops before or after me as long as they donāt actually shit on the seat.
Yes, most people do want a private stall to poop in. That is not āsegregationā, the difference is that other people can use the little locking room after youāve finished and itās ok bc trans people donāt have cooties that will get on the toilet seat or something. Jfc.
fuckin' wossface from Rolling Stone always dooming and WIRED publishes some chick mutter dark imprecations about the horror of Dem influencers starting a network (remember, DEMS SUCK and are LOSERS and never do anything to change that). why'd I subscribe, again?
Is it your suggestion that we ignore everyone who is not what youāre acting like all the Dems are in this skeet, throw our hands up and abdicate responsibility for our part in creating the world we live in, JT?
And of course, clearing a sleep deficit is a good thing in the long run! Youāll be more functional day to day without a delta deficit hanging over your head.
(REM rebound is can also happen and is a wild experience, with intense dreams. Last time I hit a REM rebound sleep I dreamed so hard I woke up thinking it was three days later than it really was!)
Sounds like delta rebound. If youāve been low on delta sleep for a while (the deepest sleep cycle) you can have a rebound sleep where you spend longer in delta sleep than people normally do. Likely not to recur until/unless you build up another deficit.
How fucking awesome are this crew and this cast??
Sounds like Doug is the real winner here!
Happy Labor Day, comrades š«”
i said this a few days ago, and these two sentiments are connected: you donāt cede ground to fascists, because even if you ignore basic human decency, ceding ground to fascists makes you weaker and them stronger.
You've made Catptain very proud. Let's keep it going, crew! www.32auctions.com/ywmlp?r=1&t=... #YWMLP #OFMDfanart

*stamping feet* but I donāt want thing to change and Iām gonna project all my frustration that the world has changed since my childhood in ways that donāt personally benefit ME over everyone else* on the random cracker in the logo! *also the part where I had to grow up and be responsible for myself
If your heritage is a corporate logo, it deserves to be erased.
Local outlets have been reporting on these exact same community efforts in Los Angeles over the last few months, and itās heartening to see that folks on the ground in DC have taken notice and are taking similar action for themselves and their neighbors.
Nope. Iām truly confused bcā¦ I really donāt think that happens to me much at all. I guess news site paywall things but I just close those. Thereās no article I wanna read bad enough to jump hoops for.
Okay. I just came back to this and you arenāt calling these efforts resegregation yet, you absolutely should be
This is infuriating and you should send it to every veteran you know, because while you canāt lose your civilian job while youāre activated, they donāt have to pay you, and you canāt get the mortgage pause until youāve been activated a month. American Legion & VFW should be on fire.
But, to the main point, there was supposed to actually be SOMETHING in it for the woman. Not just servitude to a manchild while she has to pay bills too.
Not that it was ever really a good deal for the women. Sure, some couples I know make the breadwinner/homemaker labor division work, without it being a bangmaid thing. But that ānot being a bangmaid thingā is key to it working when women have other options.
They forgot that the other half of the deal was that they have to earn enough money that their sex mommy can be a homemaker as her full-time job. But very few people can support a family on one salary anymore. So women have to work full time jobs too, and arenāt available to just be bangmaids.
Speaking as someone who used to spend time in their chats, SO much of US contemporary fascism is a function of men assuming that the way adulthood worked was, you got a job and in exchange you got a woman to be your mom plus your sex toy. They are ENRAGED that they have a job but no sex mommy.
Tangential but itās notable that when California does things it gets reported as āNewsomā and when Illinois does things it gets reported as āIllinoisā
Is thatā¦ a common problem people have? I donāt think Iāve ever had to enter an email to make a pop-up go away.
As always, the right-wing grievance machine needs no reality to work from. Just choose something you donāt like, pretend itās impossible to get what you do like bc the thing you donāt like exists, blame āwokeā.
Yep. Trans people are always āmenā when they want to do violence against us, but āwomenā when they want to deny us equal treatment.
Wait so this douche acknowledges that trans women arenāt āreal boysā but somehow canāt get to them just being girls
You know who never gets called "a biological male"? Biological males.
They're actively targeting creators who call in & banning them, making it even more important to call if you're a customer & not a creator Tell them they shouldn't be dictating how you get to spend the money you put your blood, sweat, and tears into earning
But also maybe without a figurehead, the guy behind the curtain has a harder job. I donāt know. Iād like to get to find out, bc itās either better or no worse.
I figure, it canāt actually be worse. Not really. The authoritarian bullshit will likely continue under Vance but maybe without the cult leader the support collapses. But whether trump is dementia-addled or dead, someone else is already running the show. Worst case, nothing of substance changes.
Tesla could have settled for $60 million, got hit with a $240 million judgement, and it was caught covering up Autopilot crashes in the process... but now they figure the right fancy lawyers can put the toothpaste back in the tube www.reuters.com/legal/govern...
literally nobody on earth has made as many wrong predictions about self-driving tech as Elon, but Tesla is worth a trillion dollars because people still believe him every time he says "self driving by the end of the year" no matter how many times he says it
Unlike you peasants MY waifu is statistically average in every way
As a +1 on this, some parents were angry because they found out that LGTBQ+ graphic novels sometimes have gay sex in them and the Government of Alberta recently made a rule telling their school boards to ban the naughty books.

AI's best use case will always be scams. It's scamtech, top to bottom. Everything about it is crooked. Its bedrock is theft and its legacy is the destruction of the environment, both physical and virtual. Even most of its 'legitimate' uses are a form of lying. "I wrote this." "I created this."
I don't know who needs to hear this, but to people whose primary conflict resolution strategies are fawning and passiveness and who rank "Keeping the Peace" higher than "Avoiding Abuse", assertiveness will look like aggression. That's as true in activism as in personal conflict.š§µ
Sex work is 1000% more honorable and socially beneficial than working as an ICE agent.

Call me crazy but, as a big fan of bananas, I prefer when I donāt have to chase them around the store on my grocery shop.
Alex, you can still get wonderbread just go to the grocery store itās right there
This whole thing is great but the highlighted bit made me laugh out loud. š Marlon on Snoop:
"We stand here in the wealthiest city, in the wealthiest country, in the history of the world, as we stand here by Wall Street, where last year. They had more than $40 billion in bonuses. We ask ourselves, how is it that one in four New Yorkers are still living in poverty?"
If you donāt believe that Trumpās authoritarianism can be defeated, look at how scared MAGA is of chalk:
i feel like the lot of the country stopped paying attention after the stories about how they're all just wandering the Mall harmlessly and then lost the thread from there like the oafishness here is truly very funny but also... they're just breaking into an apartment complex???
Creating the Torment Nexus from the famous show āDonāt Create The Torment Nexusā, of course.
Once again the so-called āparty of small governmentā and āfreedomā wants to interfere in the pettiest of personal-life choices for average folks.

it shouldn't be easier to get a gun in America than the covid vaccine
Deeply creepy shit.
Just came away from a meeting about metal tariffs and it is mind-bogglingly stupid and complicated. Which makes everyoneās head hurt. Stupidity #1: Even though we are CUSMA compliant, the steel and aluminum tariffs still apply. They used to be 25% now they are 50%. (1/12)
the Nazis literally tried to discover Atlantis because they thought Atlanteans were aryans and would prove German racial superiority Fascism has always been anti-intellectual and full of pseudoscience
Letās start a rumor that the guy playing golf was a body double
I was gonna say āhere thatās Axeā š I donāt know if they are the same thing branded differently, but they definitely both share the same environmental niche.
Mmhmmm youāre just mad bc you know you shouldnāt be using that shit

I dunno I think that committing fraud to get multiple houses cheaply is a bad thing actually. Maybe if people didnāt hoard multiple houses it would help with making housing more affordable for everyone, ya know?

In which Garak successfully resists the temptation of the ring bc 1) heās already quite corrupt and used to that, thanks, and 2) because Julian asked and. Well.
I know everything is a 5 alarm fire right now, but this is really important.
We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.
Heck of a good time trotting with you, Chuck!
Trump wants to control the Fed not simply because 1) he wants more control over everything and 2) he has a general preference for low interest rates, but 3) because he wants a loyal and politicized Fed to goose the economy at the right time in 2026 and especially 2028. vimeo.com/1114403325/7...
DOGE wasnāt a cost-cutting venture. It was a data mining operation for private interests. Trump opened the gates to the castle from inside for invaders with bad and greedy intent to plunder and exploit.
Trees can be replaced, but that takes time and effort. Dirtier air, soil erosion, habitat destruction ā¦ these are all irreversible in the short run, and cause lasting damage in the long run.
āThis is information that the taxpayers have already paid for,ā said Lindsey. āThis administration is trying to hide it and take it away from us. Itās an abuse of government. Itās a waste of resources. People should be indignant. Thatās not the way the government should work.ā
This isn't doomscrolling, it's schadenfeed.
any body want to help me plan sneaking around and raising all the flags back up to full mast
when you die on the white house toilet you die in real life
I will never get over how a handful of tech bros set billions of dollars on fire to build a plagiarism machine that doesn't work and will destroy human society when they could have used a fraction of that money to fund a new golden age of creativity and knowledge.

Do sign the @nionwomen.bsky.social petition if you are a cis woman who supports intersectional feminism and also feel that the anti trans actions of the government are #NotInMyName www.change.org/p/not-in-our...
I think the bigotry is the bigger problem frankly
UPDATE: @chucktingle.bsky.social is an absolute delight (but we all already knew that!)
And of course, stereotyping based on appearance alone is generally unwise!
Come on. Come onnnn
for what itās worth I think āfire RFKā is potentially a concrete ask that could work for the budget, assuming that Rs canāt get their shit together. Rs would probably like to be able to blame an RFK firing on Ds and I think thatās a totally acceptable trade
I am still by no means wealthy but I DO have a buffer now and that makes my life so much less stressful!
