Learn what something is before you try and regulate it.

There should be a requirement for all politicians that they have to understand how a technology works before trying to pass legislation on it.

This is embarassing.

Ignorant legislation like this harms American ingenuity and invention. 3d printers open the doors for people who would otherwise never have access to technology that can make their ideas real, accessible. Youre harming mainly minorities.

That's not at all how 3D printers work. That's like saying your stove can tell if youre cooking meth and turn itself off.

There is no 3d printed gun crisis. Youre making it up. Regular firearms are widely available and cheap in the US.

@bauerkahan.bsky.social Hey so your bill AB 2047 hurts small businesses and makers in CA and is fundamentally flawed in understanding how 3d printers work.

There is no such thing as a certified firearm detection algorithm that can tell what a printer is printing and stop it.

Being around other people can do wonders for my self esteem. Cuz most of the time I dont really feel like the sharpest tool in the shed.

Then I see some of these fluffernuttters out here and all of a sudden I feel like a genius.

The worst people. It was the people around us who put them there. The people around us supported them, funded them, and voted for them.

At this point theres no one in any branch of the US government that I think isn't human waste at worst and useless at best. Regardless of party. Theyre all rotten to the core and the entire system needs to be destroyed.

Exactly

I feel like the movie really shoves it down your throat how at a certain point Paul isn't even in control anymore and is at the mercy of his precognition. The zealot followers and mindless masses don't need him to justify their slaughter. Stilgar literally says it.

The infuriating part about most of these attempts at censorship is that so many of them could be thwarted if people just didn't comply. Theyre often scared of consequences that don't even exist. People are just so inherently submissive they'll do whatever they're told even knowing it's wrong.

Its not helping my chronic disappointment in humanity that with the new Dune trailer not only are there people who actually think Paul is the good guy, but that the people who realized he isn't think they have some erudite take and fail to realize that he isn't actually the villain.

Since none of them actually showed up to defend anyone against a tyrannical government their opinion on the 2nd shouldn't count.

It's the worst! Im sorry someone pulled that BS with you too.

Collaborate?
Oh, you mean I do all the work and you take credit for it on social media? Lol, no.

One of mine is a doctor who thinks mifeprestone is a deadly drug so dangerous we should kill women who obtain it. The other is the speaker of the House.
Im frankly impressed that someone completely without a spine is able to stand there and talk so much trash.

Not to in any way defend Dementia Don or anyone in this administration, but I was nearly trapped in the middle east when Biden quickly changed US re entry policy during covid with no recourse for those of us abroad. IF YOU TRAVEL DO NOT EVER COUNT ON THE US FOR HELP no matter who is Prez.

I think you misspelled execute.

Im old enough to remember before 2016 I would say Israel is cursed and people would jump my shit calling me antisemitic.

As if criticizing the actions of a country's government is the same thing as saying i agree with Hitler.

And as if Semitic people only live in Israel and not the entire region.

Unhinged behavior

Nope. My studio is closed to the public. Online only. People are too freaking weird.

When you live in New Orleans and forgot it was fat Tuesday and you tried to go to work...🤦‍♀️

For reference, navigating the city for the months leading up to mardi gras is a game of Russian roulette. The day of is madness.

Would this be before or after the Portuguese pioneered the slave trade after Spanish conquistadores nearly wiped out the native population of the americas with their diseases?

You realize POC means people's of color, right? Aka global majority? In the US it's a term for anyone who isn't white.

*shrug* Im not commenting on Harris's choices, just that calling a Latina woman white during a time where a gov. agency is hunting hispanic people for sport, and pitting women against each other is lame.
I think if anyone's waiting for the D party to save us, theyre delusional.

Hey, so, theyre both women of color. Both have a lot of accomplishments under their belts. Trying to erase her racial identity because you cant conceive of racism beyond black vs white, isnt it. Pitting women against each other isnt it.

How are the horror writers doing? Cuz I love me some horror, but with what's coming out of the files it feels like horror writers might be feeling kind of like writers at the Onion.

I restocked a fluffinator flogger

Tattoo artist- Youre a beast! Such a good sitter!

Me- passes out for 12 hours straight afterwards

So I stopped at God Emperor because I thought Heretics and Chapterhouse were non Herbert additions, but Im realizing thats incorrect. Are they worth it? Ive heard such bad things about the novels added later by other authors

This at least is the kind of fluffery I want AI to be used for
