Crime is down because there’s less cops to commit it lmao.

Woof. What a disaster. That dude always struck me as a grifter.

What’s happening with Mr. Beast? I’m out of the loop.

It’s such an easy one to misspell. I was a graphic artist for years and it’s not the first time I’ve seen this error. Glad I could help! Lmao.

“Get you spot” - typo??

This is pretty neat! The new tech for big screens is unreal.

I’m not sure how you’ll be using these tools but Jan might be an option. There are some free AI models you can download and use right in the app locally. https://jan.ai/

Yep. They’ve gotten smarter. Some of the plugins and tools websites use to create a paywall will actually only render part of the article to the browser before the user signs up. They used to simply mask it and you could remove the paywall via editing some CSS in the browser’s dev tools to see all of the text, but that’s not the case anymore.

This strikes me as state-funded or state adjacent hacking. Kind of like how the destruction of Twitter eliminated a source of on-the-ground, 24/7 information for the working class on all of the events our governments would prefer we not see so that their propaganda can be produced more lazily. Destroying the Internet Archive acts as another hindrance to the working class when it comes to staying informed and enriched.

To give you a more adult answer, it would be absolutely insane to allow anyone the power to decide whose life is forfeit and whose isn’t. We’ve witnessed that slippery slope before with the death penalty in Texas and Missouri. If we allow that kind of thing to continue or go unchecked, where does it end? How long before someone decides that something else justifies it and where does that power cease to continue expanding? What about rank when it comes to war crimes like you mentioned earlier? It’s easy to say “fuck that guy, they deserve a slow death,” but if society put that into practice, it would be chaos and would set a terrible precedent. Executions are a definitive characteristic of any authoritarian regime.

There are also special cases where a cop or a soldier goes off script and summarily executes someone unarmed. Do they deserve death because of their carelessness for the life of another? I know if the person killed was a friend or family member, I’d hope for the culprit’s death, but I’d never feel like I should be allowed to decide that.

This kind of thing can lead to a very deep dark hole where society blackens and removes all humanity, and leftist movements exist to preserve life.

I don’t believe in the death penalty but I also won’t cry over the death of a fascist carrying out genocide. If he dies a lonely death in a cell, that’s still the same outcome, even if power is a vacuum. It was also a late edit in jest, but I also hope he bites it asap.

I’d take rotting in prison forever. That’s acceptable.

I think we can make an exception for people that have carried out, or are actively carrying out, a genocide. Same would go for Hitler if he wasn’t a coward that did it himself.

I’m okay with fascists and other repeat offender threats to the planet being thrown in a prison forever. They don’t have to die and no one has the right to determine whose life is forfeit and whose isn’t. But if they repeatedly endanger the lives of others, including animals, they need to be away from society.

Texas is set to execute yet another person and Missouri executed an innocent man despite the DA’s objection and new evidence.

The death penalty is acceptable for people like Netanyahu.

The TikTok ban used to be about trying to squash pro-Palestine sentiments and media. I guess this works too.

He worked on an Israeli kibbutz in the 60s. He’s also been pretty weak on protecting Palestinians from a genocide, has stated that Israel has a right to defend itself on multiple occasions, and has rejected a ceasefire. He did recently sign a resolution to try to block more arms sales to Israel ($20b worth), but it feels like a weak attempt to try and win back approval from the left.

69, dudes!

I am going to seek those out!

Oh god, so you have to sit there and wait for it to thaw lmao. That’s so rude and I can see why it would brand them so negatively for you.

I was diagnosed ADHD in the 90s when the science around it was even fuzzier than it is now. Never managed to find meds that worked for me and went unmedicated for years. Finally got on meds way late into adulthood (non-stim but it works for me) and it helps a ton. Your mileage may vary but ask questions and work with your doctor. Be honest and take notes about how you feel, what works and what doesn’t, etc. They can adjust your dosage and try other things. I’d probably be unemployable without them, especially as a programmer that needs all the focus they can get.

Good luck!

They can’t because their boots are too caked in horse shit!

I don’t care what anyone says. Uncrustables are delicious. They have PBJ + honey ones!
