There's bigger problems in the world, obviously, but of the more trivial problems, the speculation-driven RAM/SSD shortage is probably the most fucking irritating I could scrape together the dollars to put together an ok replacement for my aging PC at 2024 prices, but they've easily doubled by now

Liberals will swear up and down that the mainstream US press is not state media and that it's brave, independent, adversarial journalism, and the mainstream US press will take absolutely any opportunity it can to prove them wrong

If he'd gone after Greenland first, at least the Dems would be pretending to be against it

Will's bitter about Maduro because Maduro can win elections Sour grapes from the worst poster online

words from lexi alexander, who had been suspended from this platform for being palestinian

i genuinely believe trump doesn't like wars, because he has an animal understanding that they're political liabilities. but he also loves army men and explosions. so you get this nonsense with him. kidnapping maduro. blowing up fishermen. iran. nigeria for some reason. somalia. chicago. etc etc etc

okay i am sorry to be that bitch but the one word you can't use to describe this is "unprecedented."

PSL is gonna march about the new war. They couldn't stop a literal genocide under Dems with dogmatically nonviolent marches and 50-year-old chants, but sure. The GOP's new resource war'll be a much easier target for those proven tactics

All else aside, if your country's primary military defense is keeping an ocean between you and your adversary, is it smart to attack a country on the same side of both main oceans as you? Is that a pretty good idea, do you think? The action of a tactical genius?

liberals playing their part well in all this

The rest of the world really needs to do something about the US because US hegemony is not working out at all

Death to the US war machine, death to capitalism, death to fascist hegemony. idk what else to say about this shit

The reporter should have hit him with a hammer

I forgot to bookmark who made this template! I did accidentally bookmark a bunch of random other posts, tho (great app!). Anyway, I'm getting this out before 2026 gets too old so no one thinks I'm cheating if I win

Who up forgetting they auld acquaintance

Jon Stewart and the pod saves guys mocking people who wear masks while talking about What Is To Be Done is exactly what Jon Stewart and the pod saves guys are, it's the most Jon Stewart and pod saves guys thing possible.

the software most used by fish has historically included CoralDraw and Mackerelmedia Director, but OpenShell is also popular, as well as Ann Chovy Teaches Typing (in schools)

This just in: Many calendar scientists say 2026 could start as early as next week. Others aren't so sure, but there's general agreement that 2026 will start "soon," or, as some have even said, "quite soon"

The American prison system is designed to produce people who can no longer function in society. Alienated people who can't afford to trust. It's a crime against humanity.

Now look, I'm not saying we should make a new law setting the penalty for being an LLM programmer, a CEO bullish on LLMs, or an LLM evangelist as being strung up by their ankles in the town square and shot to pieces like Mussollini I'm thinking it, sure, and I believe it 100%, but I'm not SAYING it

Creating an original sci fi universe. All I've got so far is that the common interstellar currency is called spesos

The solution to a lot of these is to subsidize or nationalize higher education and not allow a separate, private med system Also there's no downside to taxing billionaires out of existence. They have very little liquid capital, so it would change basically nothing, and maybe then they'd shut tf up!

I don't wanna be a Grinch or a Scrooge and I'm glad so many people are having a nice time but I just gotta express that I'm so glad xmas is over after tomorrow

Heads up to artists still using Twitter- Twitter is now adding an "Edit image" button under all images posted on the site that allows everyone to feed it into genAI and modify it as they wish with a prompt

like and share if you agree

did a lot of people do a lot of really unspeakably disgusting, evil things? absolutely. but investigative files are full of weird fake tips and they released all of those on purpose to flood the zone so you’ll take the bait 500 times, start feeling foolish, and either go tinfoil hat or give up.

Zero tolerance is the ONLY and FITTING response to genAI being used in production of media. Sure, you might think it's too harsh. Sure, they might've only used it for early stuff in development, etc Listen, it's not even a SLIPPERY slope, there is NO friction at all unless we speak out against it.

that the Whos celebrate Christmas suggests some knowledge of Christ, but whether this is our anthropic Christ or a distinctive Who-Christ remains obscure; some have argued Christianity was introduced to them during their refuge with Horton, which of course turns us to the matter of Elephant Religion

My trillion dollar idea is a restaurant that sells mozzarella sticks *and* gives you enough sauce

It's gonna be so funny when this project's still early in development by the time Trump dies or whatever and Democrats keep voting to fund and construct them out of xenophobic bloodlust and loyalty to their arms industry benefactors (sold to the public as bipartisan support for Our Blessed Military)

Bari Weiss looks like the stodgy assistant principal who gets humiliated in increasingly elaborate ways over the course of a children's movie

I took Expedition 33 off my wishlist (I'm broke so I gotta wait on sales) as soon as I found out they were using LLM shit in development. I'm just not interested in anything made with that garbage! I don't believe it's inevitable that it'll be in everything going forward, because it's stupid trash

Society is failing these children.

When leftists say Democrats are a rightwing conservative party, it's not hyoerbole or like some rhetorical judo thing. It's just an honest description of the party, to the extent that it even is a party The most radical national US politicians are the few centrists the Dems are always silencing

When you stray too far from God’s light you are protected from His judgement but also by consequence His mercy
