R/conservative thread meltdown 🧵

The implicit media consensus is that urban voters should not be able to overrule rural voters, but that rural voters should be able to overrule urban voters, an assumption so axiomatic and unquestionable that nobody even understands they're making it.

This is such sickening perfidy.

“No you don’t understand i’m really concerned about infrasound but not from wind turbines but from ventilation systems which is totally different” sounds like trying to tell me that 120db from a concert is different from 120db from a jet engine

Remember when someone On Here tried to make “emploid” a slur for having a job

This is basically how every conversation on every topic goes nowadays. “Yeah, sure, republicans *want* to destroy this thing but they won’t end up doing it so it’ll be fine BUT what about when the Dems did (something untrue I have a vague recollection of through a game of internet telephone)?”

France is ditching Windows for digital sovereignty - and its new Linux stack is taking shape Officially, we don't know what France's forthcoming Linux desktop will look like, but this is what my sources and experience tell me to expect.

Negative polarization

DISCO ELYSIUM is PLANESCAPE: TORMENT for people who have not read a book in the last calendar year but have watched a series of 2 hour video essays on YouTube

Jimmy Concepts et al made careers of pointing out the foibles of the left leaning scholarly press in rejecting ‘objective truth’ but for ever niche journal article about ‘post colonial queer physics’ or whatever there’s a hundred right wing anti science influencers

Stupid goo goo nonsense. The only way to get fair districting is to pinch republicans in the mouth enough until they agree to fairness. Doing this with Callais days away from ripping up the VRA is so stupid I don’t know where to begin.

like do you think it's an accident this nazi fuck is posting about this

the A-10 community as a whole has made this bed with their nazi buds and the next SECAF needs to make them lie in it

What I would hypothesize that you can see here is greatly a *sorting* of Americans by trust

The Democratic Party used to have a lot more cranks who had some weird ideas about science, and the Republican Party used to have a lot more normies who think science is great

And they swapped parties

The thing is you have a Secretary of Defense who quite literally does not think germs are real, he explicitly rejects germ theory

The question to ask isn't "why did pete do (x)," it's "why did roger wicker vote to confirm a guy who literally doesn't think germs are real"

Kate Willett @katewillett x.com Just found out we have another DSA comrade running in City Council District 3. Layla has been a champion for public housing, that's rad she's in DSA also. Layla Law-Gisiko *afi @laylaLawGisiko • 5d I'm not waiting to be elected to stand up to NYCHA. I'm already doing it and we're winning in court. Today we won again in court in our fight over the NYCHA redevelopment. Seven appellate judges have now ruled in our favor. Not one against.

in case you’re wondering what Kate willet is up to, she’s now backing a NIMBY city council candidate who rallied with MAGA Staten Island Republicans against the Zohran-backed affordable housing ballot measures

good reminder that left-NIMBYs hate left-YIMBYs more than they hate literal fascists

Yes correct which is why they ordered it to stop and when it didn't used limited force to disable it and take it into custody instead of sinking it

This specific war is illegal and immoral, but "seizing enemy commerce" is actually a pretty standard part of how wars have worked since approximately forever, and is well-covered by international law.

You know when you consider the alternative is fleeing to Hungary and getting paid to fluff an authoritarian dictator, reacting to your divorce by hitting on drunk secretaries at the bar at Applebees doesn’t seem so bad any more does it

That's also a borderline impossibility. There are more consumer facing use cases for GPUs then there are for meth precursors.

Opinion | New Hungarian PM says government was funding CPAC but won’t anymore “I believe the state should never have financed them in the first place,” Péter Magyar said this week. “It was a crime.”

Not enough people are talking about this.

Hungary’s incoming PM has said that Viktor Orbán used Hungarian government funds to help finance CPAC, the flagship networking event for GOP candidates, members of Congress, and conservative media in this country.

Unhappy to report the phishing one is quickly becoming a real problem now. Why go to the trouble of social engineering when people will just give up their ID, financial info, biometrics, etc. to an AV portal? There's no standards so how can you differentiate a fake one from a real one?

man. if only victor von doom had a decades long, extremely personal feud with a well establish marvel super hero. he and doom having a complicated relationship built on jealousy and regret and rage. a feud that could easily flesh out said hero's other relationships. hmm does that exist, i wonder

The point is that legislating a class of programs out of existence is borderline impossible.

The thing that the anti-AI people don't seem to understand is that it is math plus computing power and people know the math now, so

no. UV is one of the best things to happen to python in a while.
