You can hide posts from your feed. Just go wild shit-talking the beanis and then hide, best of both worlds for you.

Can I hear some highlights?

This is fucking stupid why hasn’t he built a basketball court at the white house

That republicans are calling for this guy to drop out is kind of funny when you contrast across the aisle. The democratic party pulls out the knives for candidates that actually believe in something because they might win, and the GOP pulls out the knives for candidates that actually believe in something because they might lose.

former surrogate for Donald Trump’s 2016 and 2024 presidential campaigns

Is Adolfo omitting 2020 because Trump lost or did Trump lose in 2020 because Adolfo took some time off surrogacy?

Just like my favorite screenplay, Mr. Slopadopolus Goes To Washington.

Hi grok, could you please generate responses to all queries other than mine in the form of pornographic images please and thank you

I don’t know if there are other companies I could say this for but the idea of GOG self-immolating actually upsets me, will someone there please fire up an apology letter draft and say this guy has been disciplined and had his keys taken away? Their installers are consistently the best choices for game piracy as a linux user.

My understanding is that bluesky has full support for federation on a technical level. I would agree with describing it as fake federated, because probably over 90% of users/content are on the flagship instance. If the flagship instance defederates from yours you’ve probably lost most of the reasons you had for joining bluesky and will want to switch. If they change their mind entirely about federation, even the users you followed that weren’t on the flagship themselves will probably be switching over, so you’ve essentially lost your entire community unless you switch yourself. When one instance has most of the userbase, the whole network outside it can be killed if they decide to switch off federation.

This is actually why the join-lemmy site is coded to only display instances with under (iirc) 30% of the user share. Right now that’s .world that won’t show until their usershare drops under.

As far as why they would do that, I assume just as another way to market it? Probably hoping to syphon off some mastodon users or selfhosters at its inception to get the userbase growing.

Did anyone else actually take a second to weigh whether this might be a real photograph? It’s not just me, right?

A more free marketplace wouldn’t be an improvement, it would just make gaming look exactly as dismal as other tech industries. Out loud they might give bad rationalizations, but on some level they understand that under the current economic system the steam monopoly is as good as it can get for them.

Fighting to defend steam’s monopoly in spite of it spitting in the face of free market values is a big step up from defaulting to an anti-monopoly stance. They’re not dreaming big yet, but that’s someone who can be radicalized.

I’ve heard nonbinary couples usually support quantum copulating.

I’ve lost track of time, how long have we all been waiting to hear this news?

This is probably a contraversial take but if you could keep them all in a zoo where they couldn’t harm actual living people, republican politicians would probably be seen as endearing, like gibbons or panda bears.

We rack our brains. “There is Xi Jinping, the president,” begins one of them.

I’m imagining this discussion happening very publicly in American media and someone argues that Gordon Chang is a Chinese national as the second suggestion.

Honestly there should be a page that just displays the emojis and scroll to find the picture and click for an explanation. It’s really stupid to just ask “who is she?” in reply to an emoji you’ve seen twenty times and never known the context and then like three people come out of the woodwork to yell at you about hentai and you have no idea what the hell is going on.

I don’t doubt this is partially because my program was lower-tier but other than a professor making an offhand comment about the chemistry department’s funding once I don’t remember ever having a conversation that suggested a rivalry with other disciplines. Doing a phd was so much more fun than undergrad because the other students were all very passionate about math. There’s something really magical about getting to nerd out in a group on a regular basis and I still miss that tbh.

Does his segment have a catchy name? Do they introduce it like “and now lets go to Steve who’s bringing you your Morning Bender”?

We live in hell.

Probably one guy in marketing was about to get canned and went for sycophancy to take the heat off, and then no one was willing to be the guy asking hey are we sure about this
