Broad interests: books, gaming, board games, tech, PCs, flying, and of course, space
And a well-deserved one.

They're afraid this would happen to their code when they tell it to go somewhere to do something

"If there's two people who disagree on whether it's raining, it's not the media's job to report that there are two people disagreeing on the weather, it's their job to look outside and report on whether it's raining or not."

Media failed hard. Instead of reporting the truth about tariffs, they just repeated Trump's lies and acted like they were absolved of any responsibility to the truth.

People out here voting for things they really don't understand because a convicted liar told them lies is very disturbing.

I think Paramount in particular has forgotten what trailers are supposed to be. Their "teasers" are like 3 minutes long and have a pre-trailer. So dumb.

They've been trained over years to hold opposing ideas at the same time without cognitive dissonance. They're pro-life but don't want to feed kids. They're patriots but celebrate a coup attempt. They're pro-law-enforcement but elected a convicted felon.

This is my favorite part about using this app. I can swap tabs, follow conversation threads in other tabs, then come back to Discover and it's exactly where it was. I don't know who decided that timelines should auto update everywhere else, but they should be fired.

I was going to say... What do they think people want from "social" media? SM is where I go to interact with the people and things I want to, not where I get my hard hitting news and to relive debate club with literal Nazis. Bluesky is an echo chamber in the same way my friend circle is.

That cat looks like he tried to warn you about your mispost and you didn't listen.

I know that struggle. I'll probably subscribe just for a month to watch Murderbot.

Yes! Welcome! My favorite handheld has arrived!

Follow on thought: it seems at least a little bit related to the overt "hero" coding that makes people think he's like Superman. Same power set, similar costume, but even more so with the "America" theme. People see the surface level and think "oh he's like Superman, a hero" and stop there.

Media literacy is in the toilet nowadays. There are people who thought Homelander was the good guy in The Boys, and it wasn't until he shacked up with a literal Hitler-era Nazi that they started wondering "hey maybe we're not supposed to think he's a good guy".

Yep, it was the mobo. It doesn't like 64gb dual channel for some reason. New mobo (different model) posted first try with the same exact everything else.

Just had to do this like 80 times while troubleshooting my PC build...

Such a tiny perfect little void

The sort of people who hate you for being you are those that can't sustain their own lives and passions outside of having an "out" group to denigrate. They don't know how to define themselves outside of what they aren't.
