Man, I wish that either no one chose to be vegan/vegetarian or that every restaurant had a vegan/vegetarian menu. It's so hard to pick somewhere to eat when one person in your group fucks it up for everyone by being unable or unwilling to eat meat.

Just want to take a moment and be a fan. I hope everyone is getting rid of their subs to services that do us harm politically (like donating to Trump). If you're looking for a service to enjoy instead, I recommend @dropout.tv , hours and hours of content to enjoy and pretty much all of it is great!

I don't know why but this post really reminded me of a couple great albums by Metallica

Here's your reminder that copyright is a scam made to help the rich maintain their legal right to sue over media that they themselves never actually created. Copyright should return to the 14 year maximum with 14 year renewal by the original creator as created in the copyright act of 1790.

There are few things more enjoyable than a warm beef stew and a hunk of good bread on a chilly winter day.

Quite literally, the production of the penny was shut down during this admin. They literally don't make cents.

I wish there was a setting to hide posts where you aren't able to interact. If you post and don't want interaction, I don't want to hear from you.

The other day I asked someone in their 20s "Hey, what bands are you listening to?" and this kid, I shit you not asked me "have you ever heard of Metallica?" I love that Gen Z has some good taste but like....you think I haven't heard of one of the most famous bands of all time?

This person asked for evidence of voting record manipulation, I supplied a lot of references to evidence of just that. I recommend that if anyone is looking to find a consolidated list, feel free to view the thread.

And when do we stop paying federal taxes? Taxation without representation is where we’re at.

If anyone following me isn't already following @tigertux.bsky.social , I greatly recommend it. They're doing some really cool stuff with tech that actually makes things nicer.

@fireflystudios.bsky.social Just want to say thank you for remastering the stronghold crusader game. I played it as a child and now I can enjoy it with my wife 20 years later! I really appreciate your teams putting so much work in! We'll definitely be purchasing as soon as we can afford 2 copies!

I'm tired of the "AI USES SO MUCH ENERGY" BS. Here's a side by side of my GPU usage when I am running a query through a local LLM leveraging Ollama vs. Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 running idle. You can see the query is almost nothing by comparison to a modern game just idling in the background. 1/2

I wish steam had a setting to say "only notify me of sales for my wishlisted items when the sale is 50% or greater". I have so many things that I'm just waiting for being regular priced that I often get the notification but it's for nothing sales like 10% off. That doesn't even cover taxes!

At least Hitler could paint and didn't fuck kids. Hitler is one of the worst human beings in history and somehow, You Know Who is worse. YKW can barely draw an outline of a naked woman and is a pedophile.

So I guess we just live in a world where "source invalid" is used when you're literally quoting government department rules about the laws related. I hate that people this stupid are allowed to live in the same world as I do.

Really good video to watch, especially because Trump's FCC doesn't want you to see it.

A reminder that protest IS the compromise position. Ya know, instead of dragging them into the street and beating them into a bloody smear.

Remember to look through the list of people that follow you every once in a while. This asshole thought he could sneak in, only post is a maga BS propaganda post. This user can fuck off and die for all I care, I've blocked them.

The contact number for Lisa (one of the authors and backers) is 651-296-4373 and I highly recommend anyone who sees this to call and tell her how poor of a decision she is making and reminder her that when you take away peaceful options, people find other, less preferable, routes to their goals.

The GOP is once again showing its disdain for the Constitution. fox9.com/news/residen...

90s: "Don't sit too close to the TV, you'll hurt your eyes" Modern gaming, especially VR:

just so everyone is aware, the user pictured in the image below is likely a bot account or at the very least, a far right fascist.

Trump, miller and Republicans are working on the last four.

This is your reminder to defer to experts in the field of study for which you wish to hold an opinion. That goes for medicine, tech (especially AI), art, and any other human knowledge. It's a moral and intellectual failing to hold an unswayable opinion on something if you aren't an expert in it.

Just had a thought. Part of the reason why you get stuck in echochambers on social media with algorithmic systems may not be intentional. It could just be that the first social media relied on us connecting with people we know IRL and that's continued in modern times without re-evaluation.

Heard a great quote today in the context of people expecting others to work hard when they are being paid less than they are worth. "If hard work was rewarded, the donkey would own the farm" I think we've all learned, working hard for corporations that don't respect you, isn't worth your time.

"if I replace a benign word with a communally considered negative concept, the result is negative" Well yeah. If you say "I like pizza" and change it to "I like slavery", it's going to be a different and negative meaning cause that's a brand new sentence,

Anyone know of a way to not see posts which only allow for people to respond if the post creator follows? Seems ridiculous to me that I can see posts but can't comment on them. The whole point in this site is for conversation engagement.

Big praise for @schumer.senate.gov and the #democrats for not funding DHS due to lack of action to fix ICE. I hope that they continue to halt funding so DHS is entirely abolished. We are a mixing pot and an org dedicated to removal of our innocent foreign participants has no place in our culture .

We need to bring forums back and drop all this newer social media. Forums kept things organized, if you went off topic, a mod would remove your comment, if you brought up a topic that had been done to death, a mod would push you to the existing thread on it. They were organized by people that cared.

Just got off the phone with the IRS and with my local senator's office. Basically being told that "if you don't feel represented, you still have to pay taxes" which seems antithetical to the foundations of this country. Really does feel like America's foundations are BS in modern day.

This is a fantastic idea and I think it should be adopted. Maybe set minimum amounts that have to go to things that we need like infrastructure and government operations and let us allocate the rest to what we want. I shouldn't have to give my money to a government using it to kill innocent people.

I think we should be able to allocate our taxes directly to the government departments. No need to have congress fail to pass a budget, rather let people pick their funding priorities…

@nbcnews.com any reason you guys cut the boos? Do you want to speak to why that was muted?

I don't understand how the @arkencounter.com uses fossil fuels or "gas" in their vehicles when gas takes several million years to develop while claiming the earth is 6k years old and that dinosaur bones are placed there by 'the devil'. Does that mean that, by extension, "gas" is the "devil"'s tool?

Just a reminder, we should probably move away from #oil and move towards #renewables. We only have about 47 years left.

@abigailspanberger.com Could you do this in Virginia please? Maybe see if it's in your power to also prevent sale of any property to ICE/DHS?

A few protesters have found out, wish mainstream peeps would get it With info stolen by DOGE, combined w/social media, Flock cameras, healthcare, utility bills, all the things-they know who &where you are Palantir’s pgms &any of the other 💩 bought & used by Death Squads isn’t just for “illegals”

I expect the federal government to provide the requested information, documents and physical items to our office. They have been clear that they are not conducting an investigation into Renee Good's death. We are.

Just a reminder. If you're unsure of whether you should support a business based on their politics, you can always look up donors on www.fec.gov/data/browse-... To see if people working for the company have supported specific political party funding. For instance, if you see 'winred', don't support

Good for people, good for schools, and good for the earth. www.goodgoodgood.co/articles/ark...

Have you ever wanted to see the mating calls of the millennial generation?

Random thought. These text based sites that limit your post characters should treat your words like Chinese or Japanese characters and then translate them back for people to save data space. Example: 限制貼文對拉丁字母使用者來說似乎是更大的負擔。 is 22 characters while the English equivalent is 69. That's over 3x more!

So apparently if you're good enough at #KingdomComeDeliverance2 or #KCD2 for short, you can literally defeat Sigismund's camp single handedly and change history. This also means you beat the game early:

Due to recent events, if someone shot ICE agents before they could draw their weapons, I'd consider it self-defense.

Printing anti-ICE whistles on my 3d printer. Let's hope that whistles are all I need to print.

I wish we did live in a godless world. It's the Christian Nationalists who believe in the Book of Revelation that have created the fascist hellhole that is America today. Let's get back to separation of church and state.

Hi, could you do me a favor? Please don’t forget the others that are known as well as acknowledging all those who are not, this year and prior, when calling for this. Thank you. To begin:

Just called Nike and told them that my household and my friends will no longer be purchasing any Nike affiliated products due to their owner, Phil Knight, giving 2 million dollars to the republican party in Oregon in an attempt to make life worse for the people of the United States.
