why is this news? south park has been "why is this news?"ing on the guardian a lot the past few months but this instance seems pretty typical and last century of it

It seems like all the data backup software wants to force me to use some weird storage format rather than simply copying files to a disk in my possession that I have previously copied files to and want to keep up to date. a single 1.5 terabyte file with everything in it is utterly unmanageable to me

I do not know if "the democrats" care about victims but the populace as a whole care about abusers of those victims running the government and not surprisingly using it foremost as a system for creating exponentially more abuse and not just protecting more abusers but funneling money to them as well

i just got this in a patreon mass email if you are concerned about using this word, then do not use this word. The asterisk version makes you look like a joke.

isn't this just green face paint? and possibly a wig? We have had those things for a very long time.

why is this innocuous comment hidden by default and repeatedly re-hidden, even after i approved and replied to it, and why is MY reply hidden even harder despite it being *ME* looking at it? There is no "label" on either. And is anyone else trying to talk to me that I don't see?

i understand Fetter Man's reasoning but this statement ignores the core problem and is that because this is a fox news excerpt or because he sincerely BELIEVES the trump administration ISN'T deliberately harming americans and that the republicans who enable that AREN'T totally selfish and corrupt

dreadmill sometimes i think these weirdos look at me and say stupid stuff just to get attention #respelia #bealix

I did not notice until I moved back to my two-monitor location that I accidentally made MECAROBOT GOLF the windows background amidst the automaton spree earlier

i dunno that ill color these but some more animls :3c

but it isn't "completely" misleading since it is actual stuff he said within the same, typically rambling speech, that was consistent with his overall message then and consistent with his actions as president now. the same president who regularly posts AI videos of stuff that never happened at all.

these stories are both from today

the national football league is a rightwing christian-flavored wealth cult that preys on the ignorant and destitute while brainwashing them into thinking it values them. surely it would name a stadium after trump without coercion

Let me tell you why there are only two genders and slavery isn't all that bad

Oh whoahs SIX instagram follows at once! I must be doing SOMETHING right finally! except one of the accounts is empty, two of them are private, one is hyperactive memey and the other two are full of AI-looking posts so I probably just did a new type of wrong.

Is the plan to make visiting Target feel more like visiting Westworld? Will employees be rebranded as hosts? Are there going to be some programmed to act like they are trying to attack you but never actually shoot so that you can be assured of shooting them first and feel like you are powerful?

so to be clear, the government having to spend money it doesn't want to spend is an emergency but the populace starving while that same government chums it up with tax-dodging billionaires to fund a private presidential palace dance club is not an emergency. apnews.com/article/snap...

I read it, it's garbage. Nothing about how this would be proven, only that AI would know, but YOU can't know. Trust me, bro, god hates homos, and your forehead wrinkles mean... ho ho ho i don't have to tell you what they mean. It's still discrimination if a robot discriminates. archive.is/7pFbH

i never would have guessed these were "hidden" for me since they show up anytime someone reblorks something i post that mentions el presidente de los estados unidos

i couldn't if i wanted to; it makes my computer choke since it is so stuffed with dubious broken programming, but thankfully I don't want to since it is also stuffed with insincere white nationalist creeps. Or at least the humanoids still there but not here who would potentially acknowledge me are.

"charmed" means "bribed," right?

the smirky prince from dragon quest 7 LOOKS like an AI-bro. I presume this example was used because you have to play it for two dull hours before anything happens, a decent metaphor for what AI proponents want everyone to believe at this point. oh GOOD STUFF is coming, just wait, and wait, trust me

nonsense like you have possibly come to expect #respelia

of course not; obviously I was vaccinated.

Can you buy thanksgiving dinner at walmart??? and SHOULD you? Walmart sells packaged processed "food" but ordinarily not actual food. Prices at proper grocery store are up substantially from a year ago when this goober and many goobers who voted for him promised the opposite.

Should hope not; "democrats" supported the klan back then, as rightwing scumballs with nothing of value to say have giddily reminded me several times. The actual candidates and their actions should be more important than the party they come from. Party loyalty above logic is what got trump elected.

alright a new policy here: if somebody i never heard of who never heard of me either replies to one of my posts suddenly with a huge meme picture or video link i will simply use the "hide for everyone" option instead of trying to explain to that person why I would prefer they did not reply like that

I no longer have strong optimism for politicians advertised as representing great positive change that i know they probably won't accomplish, especially if religion is a big part of their background, but those are GREATLY preferable to politicians who only promise garbage and may even fulfill that.

ideally the desperate yellow one will never be heard from again

of course they SHOULD, they merely should do more research than a common peasant like me because anything they can't immediately back up when interrogated in a jerky and irrational fashion will probably get more federal programs for non-celebrities cut

If I get banned I want my scare quote to be extremely stupid

They KNEW we wouldn't allow food benefits to continue under any circumstances if they tried to get healthcare funding too, this is all their fault. They were fully aware what kind of creeps we are. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

war crimes aren't illegal in israel, but trying to hold war criminals accountable sure is www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

the European box art for Sonic Triple Trouble seems to have been completely redrawn from the Greg Martin US art, quite possibly also by Greg Martin. I do not know why, unless extra mustache is THAT important in Europe. I only eventually noticed because the fist-waving knuckles is hilarious to me.

this relationship is not "alleged!" It has long since been established these two were good friends who shared a lot of space and tastes with each other. It is only the extent to which they shared trafficked humans that is merely "alleged."

sacre coward #bimshwel #meeply

sometimes garbage is all that i understand #respelia

decades worth of it has already been amalgamated and internalized. i hope these companies demand openai also purge all the data based on the training that already occurred, because that would probably be impossible and ideally destroy the whole thing.

no surprise, but still frustrating, the entire team drops everything to get priority service for one rich scumbo while gleefully acting completely unable to release money already allocated to provide food for millions in the us, never mind the wasted foreign aid www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

caring about actor George Clooney's opinion on what the democrat political party should have not have done with its presidential campaign a year after they did it also seems like a mistake or at least fairly unproductive

This I can understand laughing at. This is long term irrational bigotry beyond conventional unreason

look at that, another commission for @meltingtuxedo.bsky.social . it was bound to happen suicuner or later. #robision

I was just reminded of a dream in which I was at some "food" joint with self-serve drink machines and somebody disposed of the cup i was planning to use, and so i kept looking for unattended or abandoned but not discarded cups i could sneakily grab and refill for myself. it was pretty pathetic

I am not sure what is going on with this world map or why but i appreciate that it is en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tz_data...

I have seen mirth about this topic, but I think it is sad that IDFers weren't able to consider that the orders issued to them were evil BEFORE carrying them out. Maybe some even refused orders and were ostracized by comrades who enjoy murder, or communities who cheer it on from a distance.

I know they are bandits and their actions should be scrutinized but I think there are times when they deserve some privacy

this looks like more effort than just using the form. describing minor actions in coherent language is almost always more trouble than doing them myself, even when not wasting electricity and training a monster, and then I will have to do it again if paypal is having a "HMM something went wrong" day

i have been making use of aseprite since 2017, with 3x interface scaling since 2021, and only just now noticed that empty frames have circles on them. and it isn't a new development since I am still running the version from february
