But one day they might be the one on top! And it will be because they worked hard and deserve it!

My favorite thing is seeing attempted memes of “this is the future the left wants with socialism/communism/anticapitalism” and… It’s literally just a picture of regular old capitalism making sure certain people get the worst of it. Usually houseless camping hotspots, and slums that supply larger wealthier areas with their luxuries and labor.

They stated they didn’t break piracy laws because they downloaded a shitload of books for their LLM and didn’t seed any.

Torrents are downloaded by “leeches” and put out for download by “seeders”

A proper ratio of what you downloaded to what you allow others to download should be 1:1 if you’re not a dick. (1gb downloaded means you need to upload 1gb to other users for 1:1) but if you don’t seed at ALL or if you only seed bare minimum to keep downloading things, you’re called a Leech, and derogatorily. Because you didn’t seed.

So they’re stating “we didn’t break the law, we’re just leeches!”

Shhhhhhhhhhh

If I don’t know my master plan, then THEY certainly don’t either!

Also I do intentionally leave some things a bit more vague, with ideas of what I want to do, but I’m hoping the players will start theorizing amongst themselves so I can incorporate their stuff into the game.

It gives them a nice sense of accomplishment to have “predicted” something, and I think they feel more engaged in the campaign.

Or maybe I’m just a bad DM…

They had an app store?

I genuinely think the author just put those two together because they knew everyone was expecting Harr-mione to happen. Tried to subvert expectations.

“could be ousted”

Uhhhhhh no.

Nobody in their right mind would listen to this.

The Russian Puppet never intended to allow support to continue and is making shit up to try and justify halting aid without serious backlash.

Musketrump and the MAGAts can get fucked. Unless they’re willing to go to war to enforce it, there’s 0 chance of it happening. And if they go to war for that, they’re going to have a hell of a lot of internal conflict that will absolutely result in blood. Militarily and civilian.

The fact that anyone can see this and think “yes, this is a clear sign we must invest MORE in oil consumption” is wild to me.

If ONE country is shelling out as much for renewable as the rest of the world spends on fossil fuels, then MAYBE, just MAYBE there might be something to renewables, especially given all the things we see daily about how much more efficient renewables are, how much money is in the entire industry, how quickly people are switching to renewables…

It’s mind boggling that anyone thinks fossil fuels are the future, or at least can convince other people that it’s the future all while caring about just the money.

I’d love to have a power wall and a wind/solar setup for all my energy needs.

Lmao this guy thinks hard work is what makes people rich instead of massive amounts of exploitation in an inherently exploitative economic system…

Depends on what I’m playing.

I can comfortably play some games down to 12fps ±3ish, if it isn’t something that’s fast paced.

I have yet to play anything where I’m skilled enough for higher than 30fps to matter response-wise, and while I can notice the difference between 60fps and 240fps on my monitor, I gotta say it doesn’t do much for me.

Maybe I just don’t know what to look for, what I’m missing, or how to set up my laptop right, but who knows. My eyes could be stuck on 720p for all I know.

The problem is not the price.

The problem is Ai “art” is inherently stealing the work of other people, and not in a way that a painter can say they were influenced by some other painter.

I mean, even if that is the case, so what?

Are other countries not allowed to have militaries anymore?

Space should not be militarized, in my opinion, but if the US is going to do it, then we don’t get to finger wag at other countries for doing the same thing.

As I keep telling people, they keep saying “DEI” because even most Bible belt folks get uncomfortable when you drop the hard R they really want to say.

An extremely outspoken instance filled with people who simp for fascist dictatorships but ultimately consider themselves communist and some socialists.

Most would call them “tankies” due to their willful denial of the 198(9) Tiananmen square massacre as “western propaganda” despite non-western sources agreeing it happened outside of China.

Imagine if super outspoken trump supporters had an instance and spent a lot of time trying to lecture other people about how they’re wrong when nobody spoke to them in the first place, then when presented with facts and logic they would respond with gifs, emojis, and a lot of claims that you’re a CIA front/shill.

Old people and overreacting to normal things because new ideas are scary and confusing

Name a more iconic duo

“When you are of working age and you have no more days off this week”

FTFY

No need for pointless generational divides, we’re all exhausted from this hell life.

Her logic IS undeniable.

You heard it here folks, you shouldn’t question something unless you are directly affected by it.

I would like that, the structure would not.

For now all I have is a dragon tree that needs extra attention I need advice on, and an aloe plant.

Saturday was really warm here, like “t-shirt and jeans weather” warm.

I was in the middle of walking between buildings when the clouds broke.

I immediately turned toward the sun and for one, shining moment, I channeled the spirit of Solaire of Astoria. For a brief moment, I was so grossly incandescent.

I decided “fuck this I’m going home and practicing archery.” so I stood out in the sun for an hour and a half until the sun dipped below the trees.

I really need to get one of those full spectrum light panels that helps with seasonal affective disorder, or like a vitamin d lamp or something. It doesn’t help that my current residence has no windows, so all light is artificial and to get any sun I have to actually go outside.
