I think if I was going to get a new keyboard, i would want to go one of two routes. Either super customizable, or go super silly overpriced. Have you seen that flux keyboard? It looks bonkers but it’s like $500 - $600

I seem to still be getting a paywall on the no paywall link

So was the alleged Kirk killer one of them—not the Luigi leftists, but the Groyper gopniks?

We don’t know. ​We don’t know anything.

I appreciate that they make this distinction. Nobody knows for certain, and making claims about this person’s affiliation feels…pointless. At this point, they will say he’s whatever they want him to be. Whatever fits their agenda. We can see it go both ways.

In my opinion, many people(not all) seem to be missing the point. These incidents will continue as people feel that their voices are not being heard as political violence increases from the government and their supporters.

It creates a negative feedback loop where the allies of authoritarians spread misinfo/hate -> the regime comits political violence and will not stop with words, debate, protest -> people commit violent acts -> authoritarians use it to dig in deeper.

Idk that’s my ramblings, at least.

I work at a tech company, and I am finding the whole AI thing really tiresome. It’s infected our work. It makes me want out, but I honestly don’t even know what I would do. I’ve only been in this industry for 6 ish years, but the thought of starting from scratch again seems daunting.

Looking at other jobs in the same area, they all want some kind of AI involvement now. It seems almost mandatory

I’m calling it now. They’re going to find a group of guys to replace all these late night comedians. It’s going to be some late night culty stuff. The indoctrination channels.

Oh shit do you think they’ll add a Trump channel where it’s just his face with the national anthem playing? And one with rewritten history about how Trump invented the hamburger?

You can see how Curio’s website could be mistaken for satire. The “girl” in the promotional video is Grimes, who has prominent “alien scar” tattoos and is inexplicably kneeling next to a knife.

I had to reread that part

Dang well that sucks. I had just moved over from mangadex.

Is there a preferred alternative?

Hmm yeah I mean if push comes to shove, you can’t give in under a fascist regime. People have to stay strong.

I just keep hoping something causes them to crumble from within and leads to something with less chaos.

Could have been! Yeah it’s…not looking great. I hope things can get to a better place without going down that route

I read somewhere (possibly here?) That the US is heading towards their own version of The Troubles. I think it could be a likely scenario at this point.

I saw the movie civil war a while back, and I think it was one of the scariest films I’ve seen in quite some time.

Was that during the whole t-series vs pewdiepie thing?

Did they confirm the bullet thing? From my understanding, it was first spread by Steven crowder, but was never confirmed as factual

Well now I wana see that Southpark episode.

I was frustrated that Canadian news outlets were downplaying who he really was. They’re also saying people who are celebrating his death should be ashamed.

He contributed to death, ignorance, misinfo, and leading youth into the alt right pipeline. People should be able to participate in politics without risk of their life.

People should also participate in good faith and shouldn’t be allowed to lie or steal. In a just system, these people would be held accountable by the courts. People also should not be allowed to advocate for things that directly or indirectly cause hatred, racism, discrimination, etc.

I don’t feel ashamed for feeling okay with this situation. At most, I feel bad for his kids, but I felt bad for them regardless of this situation.

Idk man. It’s dumb

It seems like that would be a logical outcome. I’m not in the states, but if somebody rolls up trying to snatch a neighbor off the street, and they’re saying they’re the police but they don’t look like police and have no ID, I’m assuming they are criminals

If you’re in public you can be filmed. Idk man. If “law enforcement” has to hide their identities, then maybe they are doing something they know they shouldn’t be doing. The whole point of a uniform and badge is so that people can identify them as well as hold them accountable. If they wear plain clothes and hide their identities, then people will think they are a criminal/abductor and might react as such.

I’ve been stuck in a relatively dead-end job for a while. Getting severely underpaid but haven’t been able to find something I can transition to.

My girlfriend has been looking for work post graduation for two years now. Got a few temporary gigs but nothing full time. We both have post secondary education. I’m working with computers, she’s doing accounting.

With Carney sucking up to Trump and the project 2025 shitheads, I don’t forsee us getting any kind of improvements in the next decade.

I remember reading about brain scans being able to predict your political leanings. I wonder how this would play into it
