Make sure to swing by Masthead, it's just down the street!
Another fun fact: Ohio Republicans are currently in the process of hijacking these exact funds to build a goddamn football stadium that nobody wants
Can't tell which I like more, the alt text or the upper text
lmfao why are you talking about stuff that happened within the last 12 months as if it's ancient history? Also, the ratchet effect is *absolutely* moving rightward. Dems kept the status quo which was established *by Republicans*. They moved rightward so that Republicans could go even further
Yeah probably news.un.org/en/story/202...
Did these people forget the time that the far right Supreme Court gave the president unlimited power *while a Democrat was in office*??? Like I literally cannot think of a more perfect example of the right wing fully acknowledging the Democrats won't do shit against them
Costco card, 100% For some popular places, you can book discount travel packages. For other places, just the rental car discounts will outweigh any "perks" offered by another card. For international travel, you can use it without fees and it's a Visa so it actually works abroad
It would be like Nvidia graphics cards Next one would be 10/11 Then for some reason 20/11, then 30/11, etc
People: "Dems, please actually fight the right wing. We know you can do it because of what we've seen you do against the left wing." Dems: "These people want me to be shot" Bro what?
Kagi stays goated
Next time you wanna post misinformation online, consider shutting the fuck up
I believe NYT's goal here is to weaponize identity politics to sow division among Mamdani's diverse base of support. In this instance, I imagine NYT is trying to fabricate a wedge in an attempt to separate black voters
Also the choice of words "he marked himself as" instead of language like "he expressed both his Asian heritage and African citizenship" (or whatever word would be most correct instead of "citizenship")
It's partly that, but mostly that it tries to claim MSNBC is radical left-wing coverage
Right, they come in here asking for an argument then refuse to engage with the argument presented to them. Just straight up ignored what I said to them lmao
If Gates can get credit for "saving" a life simply by releasing his grip on a sliver of his hoarded wealth, then how much blood is on his hands for all the people within his reach who died from lack of resources while he was sitting like a dragon on top of his gold?
Jeff Bezos has neither made a product nor delivered anything himself. Bill Gates didn't put a computer in anyone's home. The workers did these things and they don't need people like Bezos or Gates to continue doing so
Ah, the other three-fifths compromise
Yeah he likes to hang out with "venezuelan president juan guaido"
I love this analogy because it also makes you think "what kind of fuckin freak would even want to do that in the first place?"
Did you not read the article? The entire thing was about how Mamdani found success where Bernie didn't. That is literally the entire thesis of the article
Biden was a bad candidate. The establishment still successfully used him to crush Bernie
And yet somehow a hundred thousand people all came to the same conclusion, without any influence by the largest information dissemination networks in the country, that the arsonist had other plans in mind
Oh so you think ICE is *accidentally* kidnapping any minority they can get their hands on / anyone who opposes them, regardless of legal residence status. You genuinely don't realize that everything they're doing is *deliberate* and intentional. It's all just flames accidentally spreading. Wow
I don't think that the acceptance of the Irish and Italians in white culture and the effective disappearance of mobs and mafias are entirely unrelated events
I'm not sure if it's more myth than fact but supposedly these organizations are rooted in neglected communities' need for protection. Back when Irish and Italian immigrants were second-class citizens and the state refused to provide adequate protection, they needed to form their own layer of defense
Also the fact that South Korea is not included in this number is *wild*
Some time next year bigwalk.game
It's best to try not to be paralyzed by the scale of issues at a global or continental scale. A dedicated group can feed a community. A fed community is more resilient against the attacks of fascism, which exploit societal weaknesses Even if the only person you help is your neighbor, you helped
You don't need a majority or even a plurality of the populace to effect meaningful change within your community. Sure, voting is easy; but when corporate interests control who is even allowed to be on the ballot, what does it accomplish? OTOH, hunger can be eliminated by a relatively small group
Rather than getting mad at voters, I would encourage you to consider that maybe *voting* itself is the issue. Elections are not an appropriate tool to solve many of the societal problems that we face today
Not sure why you think hardness is the sole determining factor for air velocity. Baseballs still travel much faster Screenshot is from www.theroar.com.au/2021/11/19/c...
You're telling me the term "Desert power" (from the science fiction novel Dune) has existed longer than the term "soft power" (an actual thing that exists in real life)
moons hogged
Ok go to your breaker box and shut everything off then let me know how well your life is going a month from now. Keep in mind you can't afford electricity in this simulation so no spending more than $5 per day to feed yourself Hopefully lived experience will teach better than reading comprehension
Have you considered reading the second sentence?
Cops don't use crown vics anymore. This is about people with explorers in a neutral color, twice as much if they have a roof rack
Microsoft was just the first to realize that the formula of prior generations will not work in the future. The money well of "trapping users in your ecosystem and skimming off the top of other people's games" is drying up. Consumers are starting to value and demand portability in their games
Am I insane for seeing the game delay (supported by the literal CEO) as a huge sign of health for the industry? Like in decades past, they'd have just made them crunch for nine months and hire temps to replace the people that killed themselves in the process Glad to see them moving away from that
I don't understand what point you're trying to make here. Do you think Layla Elabed has a mind control laser? Do you believe that she was actually casting a spell that changed people's minds to confirm what she predicted? Do you think the people at the weather channel create the hurricanes?
This is just a list of right-wing individuals / institutions who pose as left-wing to gain popularity. Of course, someone who genuinely believes in horseshoe theory would similarly get duped by the disingenuous posturing to the left, but that doesn't mean horseshoe theory is real lmao
@massivelyop.bsky.social has had great coverage on the development of Dune Awakening massivelyop.com/about/
It's the same thing the Nazis did. They described themselves with the word "socialism" but then did the exact opposite These ACP fucks aren't communists
Pretty exciting because this will probably be Waymo's first experience with a stakeholder that actually tells them "No, that's not good enough. It needs to fucking work before I put it in my goddamn vehicle" and maybe that's what they've been needing this whole time
Oh I thought the "Clint Eastwood" name next to Clearly Pierce Brosnan was part of the joke. Like the Hanson Nirvana shirt
The Heat
This is a great example of why it's necessary to be clear (and consistent!) with your intentions. Nobody is saying you're being unclear. Ned on the other hand...

LLMs are the next leaded gasoline. It's a tool that makes you stupider every time you use it I don't care how "useful" the tool is if it undermines my mental acuity, curiosity, and attention to detail
I think the issue is people are seeing you say "the majority of Nvidia's valuation is baseless" and interpreting it as "100% of Nvidia's valuation is baseless" Nvidia has had an effective monopoly on the GPU market for around a decade now. That can't be why they've exploded over the last two years
"I will face my couch. I will permit it to..." Ok that's enough JD
How about we establish non profit transportation companies that charge minimal fares. And why stop at just one little car for the taxis? How about we have huge taxis that can hold like 50 people in them! And for really busy transport corridors, we can chain a whole bunch of these mega taxis together
I thought they were supposed to be boycotting Wrangler for their collab with Lil Nas X
I know there's always a stupid one in a crowd, but I genuinely don't think I've seen anyone saying this. I've only seen responses like "yeah the media affects beliefs, but the only reason why the media is a negative force is because of the material condition of corporate ownership of most media"
It's arguing against somebody who thinks architecture isn't real because 9/11 showed that buildings don't necessarily remain standing under every conceivable circumstance
It's also in service of arguments like "we should not bother making improvements to airplane safety because accidents are just bad luck, they can't be prevented"
How might have the wildfires been different if there had not been a lightning strike that day, hmmm? What if the thunderstorm happened to float over a slightly different section of the thousands of acres of extremely flammable material accumulated by decades of poor ecological planning? Hmmmmmmmm???
I'm with cait on this one bsky.app/profile/cait...
Oh yeah I totally agree. But the whole "destruction of the country" thing definitely could have been perpetuated with or without him. That's will's whole thing. He tries to define the causes of these mass movements to just a single thing (or nothing!) The point is to dismiss workers movements etc
Same playbook as George W Bush. Find a charismatic idiot who asks just the right amount of questions (as close to zero as possible) and make idiots like Stancil think that he's calling all the shots. Rinse and repeat
Not specifically and not in the short term. But generally in the long term, yeah. The project 2025 freaks would have picked their next homunculus and probably still end up winning the election and doing the same shit by now. Actually y'know what, the tariffs stuff would probably be different lol
Terminally online leftists: "you would be more popular if you adopted and committed to these popular positions" Democrats: "fuck outta here with your purity virtues, we're just gonna do what what we're told by the imaginary family living in Chuck Schumer's imagination"
All of Project 2025 just vanishes, along with all of the architects behind it, if the projectile takes a different trajectory? I'm pretty sure stancils "concrete facts" in this case aren't even *that* concrete lol
The context that you're missing here is that Stancil makes arguments like "the USSR collapsed because...they had bad ideas or something" and can't comprehend that it was affected in any way by the decades-long campaign of oppression by the West. As if it's impossible to press your thumb on the scale
Ah yes, the abduction of political opponents pressed into extrajudicial concentration camps, famously a topic that does not at all resonate with voters. It's a shame we can only talk about one single thing per week; the focus group testing is going as fast as it can!
Aha, now you've waded into the waters of leftist infighting. Welcome, comrade! (The joke here is that there is a never ending debate between those who believe in a centralized "communist" economy vs those who believe in a decentralized "anarchist" economy)
You can't find the logic in it for the same reason you can't find a good ski resort in the middle of the Sahara desert People who do that aren't acting logically. They are exhibiting a conditioned response which has been reinforced by indoctrination One reason why mutual aid > electoral politics
When right wingers say "communists want you to own nothing!" they are doing the exact same thing as when they say "the estate tax wants to steal your inheritance!" Well, 99% of people aren't inheriting a billion dollars so the estate tax doesn't affect them. Same with the means of production
Thank you for your open minded approach! I think others have said similarly, but as for the "don't own anything", I think the best example is housing Most leftists agree that owning a house that you live in: totally fine and great actually Owning the house that *somebody else* lives in: very bad
This is why the New Deal was perhaps the largest liberal accomplishment. It saved capitalism from complete collapse by temporarily borrowing some ideas from socialism while retaining the same systemic issues that caused the Great Depression
Liberalism is the moderate right-wing position. It boils down to believing that capitalism is good with the right regulations. Liberals often believe the current economic system is "broken" and needs to be fixed/saved. Leftists recognize that the system is doing exactly what it was designed to do.
You should consider a new line of work. We changed the default branch name because the main branch does not exert control over the other branches. It simply makes more sense to use "main" in the era of CI/CD, dipshit. Why would you insist on using a shittier misleading name?
The point being that Democrats have two main reasons for not seeking justice 1. They don't want to "sound like" Republicans, who recently won with the slogan "Lock her up" 2. They don't want to begin down the slippery slope of holding powerful people accountable, since they do evil shit, too
In the US, we're obsessed with "free speech" for "people" Also, a corporation has "human" rights, and monetary donations count as "speech" So corporations, which extract and hoard wealth, can "speak" to politicians as much as they want Of course this isn't bribery. Oh no, it's just "lobbying"
They should, since it is a winning strategy historically. However, Democrats really don't like the idea of consequences for the actions of people in power. Here in America, pretty much all of the politicians engage in various unethical behavior. Corruption and insider trading are the biggest ones
Why make such bold claims without any evidence
At most, 7 questions away from the 14 words
Ah yes, the "projections"
Appears to be the "Origami" fender from Portland Design Works, though it seems like it's no longer made in that style anymore. Might be able to find one on eBay? ridepdw.com/collections/...
Bud it sounds like you could use some reinforcement of your thinking skills. You declared that a large portion of leftists studied/practice computer science, not me. And now you're talking about a large portion of computer science professionals being leftists, a claim nobody has made Get smarter
So which is it, wiseguy? Is it true or false that the components of Marxist belief are popular amongst ordinary working class people? Btw, where are you finding these people who disagree with the concept of ownership over the things that they made with their own hands?
You: "People who have spent years practicing logical reasoning skills have largely arrived at the same conclusion. Here's why they're wrong..."
Person: "The ideology literally derived from asking the question 'what would be most beneficial for the largest number of people?' is very popular among a large number of people!" You: "nuh-uh"
The sole instrument of oppression is violence. There are various kinds of violence, including economic violence achieved through systematic deprivation of classes of people. No communist believes that the only form of violence is economic violence.
And the workers are the gasoline that goes into the engine
But of course, this does require the mental discipline and foresight to recognize when you're about an hour away from home and to choose to act upon that information, which you can't do very well if you're choosing to turn your brain to mush every day
What bothers me is the fact that that's not even the best part of a "smart" / connected laundry machine The best part is the feature where you can load the washer with clothes, leave the house to do other things, and then start the washer an hour before you plan to be home
Have you?
Do they have one of those "Follows Will Stancil" labelers like they do for Singal? Seems extremely useful right about now
It's clear that they're offloading their human talent and competence and leaning into copilot instead
I'm not 100% knowledgeable about how frame gen works, but I figured it was just an algorithm they decided to lock down to newer gpus to try to drive up demand, and thus they could feasibly "turn it on" for a custom hardware partner like Nintendo Like how RTX Voice technically worked on GTX cards
DLSS means it'll run "fine" at "1080p" I wonder if Nvidia is also going to pack it full of frame gen shenanigans A casual handheld device honestly seems like a great application for these upscaling technologies
