Putting the actual news aside, I fucking hate how every time I read or hear this guy’s name, the first person I think of is Mark Rober.

…does he not realize that homelessness relates to the mental health crisis?

Amazes me that people are stupid enough to think people simply choose to live like this.

“times change”

Bro thinks 2007 was the Johnson administration.

That’s honestly so adorable.

I know how dangerous bears can be but it’s hard not to look at that photo and not be in awe at how cute they look all hanging out on the tree together. Just hope their presence in the area didn’t cause any major safety issues for too long.

Meant to comment on this when I first saw it.

It sucks, but after my Kbin instance was swapping over to Mbin (quick shoutout to tuckerm at supermeter.social, dude’s fucking awesome), I decided to give Lotide a shot, and unfortunately, the instance I signed up for didn’t seem to federate at all for the communities I subscribed to.

If people want a federated Reddit alternative that isn’t Lemmy or Mbin, I’m on PieFed rn and it’s honestly been great so far. I like that the source code is on Codeberg, which is what made me swap to Kbin from Lemmy to begin with.

There’s also Brutalinks, which has their source code on SourceHut like Lotide does, but I’ve yet to find a live instance of it: https://git.sr.ht/mariusor/brutalinks

Ah, my bad, misunderstood Matrix as being part of the fediverse due to the decentralized nature of it and because I saw a cross-post regarding Matrix made to this community.

I’ll delete the post here and keep the original one up.

Look dude, Imma be blunt, but this take has got to be one of the dumbest takes I think I’ve ever seen regarding politics.

You really think there wouldn’t be any consequences at all for just culling 100 million people off the face of the Earth? That’s more than every single death in World War II.

Russia and the world is lucky to not have you as the leader of China because frankly your username matches the quality of the take.

In a really weird way this might actually be helpful to the campaign. When RFK dropped out of the race, both Kamala and Trump saw a boost in the polls, meaning there are people that supported RFK that were more Democratic leaning than Republican leaning, though it should be noted Trump went up only a few points more than Kamala did.

JD Vance has been the most unpopular VP pick in modern American history. While RFK is of course weird, I personally wouldn’t be surprised if he’s seen in a more favourable light than Vance is. The swap could potentially win some of RFK’s supporters who moved their support to Kamala over to Trump and the Republicans, and could give the opportunity for “unity” messaging considering Trump would be bringing in a former opponent as well as the Democratic association with the Kennedy name.

Will say though, not sure how effective this would be compared to the Trump campaign simply swapping Vance with someone else that was on the original running for VP pick. Still shocked knowing that Burgum was going to be picked before Trump was swayed to choose Vance, and that Tim Scott wasn’t his go-to considering Scott’s potential for Republicans playing identity politics and his talent in campaign fundraising.

Having a hard time understanding the downvotes on this one. Definitely not a popular opinion by a longshot.

Honestly fantastic choice. The more he talks over people and interrupts, the more unhinged and insensible he appears to the average voter. Political commentator I watch regularly has been saying this for months to leave his mic on at the debate rather than mute him.

Yeah, no, completely personal use. Not anything I’d be posting or publishing anywhere.

Still want something that specifically generates stories from images.

Funny seeing this around now.

Was looking into trying to find an AI to make stories from images, since I have to deal with the unfortunate reality that for a fandom I like, just about all the fanfic is unbelievably badly written to the point that an AI does a better job making interesting stories. I know they exist, just a question of where the ones that work are.

Simple ask you’d think wanting to find shit that generates stories from images. Search engines hardly helped, so it was like, fine, I’ll ask an AI about AI. Surely it’ll help me find the tool I need, right?

Somehow the results it gave me were worse than the search engine itself.

Standing by it. Prefer it over fresh n hot.

Gotta say, as someone who identifies as a progressive, she’s really been beating my expectations compared to what she was saying and doing back in the 2020 primaries.

Here’s an Invidious link to the music video, option to watch it on YouTube directly is provided underneath the video on the left-hand side: https://inv.tux.pizza/watch?v=S_IAqwrvEuU

Not trying to rage-bait, being genuine when I say it’s the exact opposite for me.

Like, I can see why people like Queen, don’t get me wrong, but honestly it’s just been the case that their music has been so overplayed. I know Bohemian Rhapsody is a low blow, but I personally get that same vibe with the rest of their music library.

On the other hand, I’ve heard from a lot of people that they find Crazy Frog annoying, and I still personally don’t “get it” as to why they feel that way.

Don’t forget to delete your Twitter account folks. Nothing of value there that you can’t get elsewhere.

Not denying this, but can I see a source for that? This is the first time I’ve heard of this as someone in Canada and would like to learn more, though can’t say this surprises me unfortunately.

(don’t mind the young account age, I just swapped instances)
