Maybe Delicious in Dungeon.

Well, it’ll be putting stain on the grid, more than likely.

He notably didn’t say they needed to do better for the American people or that they needed to have better policies.

He said they needed to do better to earn our trust. They don’t want to change what they’re doing; they just want to make us agree with it.

Vance over performed slightly. I’d say Walz underperformed slightly. Walz was too nice.

In the end, I think Walz wins by a fair margin. Plus Walz got the biggest two soundbites that will be played for the next week ad nauseum.

Vance had absolute shit to work with. Walz could have given the Independence Day speech.

I actually appreciate the part where Walz went off script and responded directly to Vance and the question asked. It was about Congress making the laws, and not the Vice President. They’ll likely use that to attack Walz and Harris, but I appreciated him dropping a bit of the show and just conveying reality.

The changes they were talking about require a vote from Congress. Vance dismissing that and saying it can be done through executive action should be concerning. Technically, it might be true, considering the President can just start shooting/jailing congresspeople until they vote his way. But I don’t think that’s what they wanted to express.

What’s wrong with just linking to Wikipedia?

an off the cuff thing we’ll take too seriously

I too once thought r/the_donald was funny.

Here comes the subtle propaganda accounts. “No really, I’m gonna vote for this liar”.

Bullshit. The whole point is to put Walz’s slight mistiming of a story that happened 40 years ago on the same level as “they’re eating the dogs!”

Is it a coincidence that these people are coming out on October 1st, about the same time Reddit got hit with a massive wave of bots?

Weird that it costs them so much to produce as much content as they do, isn’t it?

I know it’s going to be unpopular here, but I am generally against trans girls in girls sports. It’s a situation ripe for abuse.

However, nobody is abusing it right now. Going after a girl who has maintained her status since the second grade is clearly just malicious and vindictive. There is nothing to be gained from misgendering her other than cruelty for political points. Reprimanding her mother is ridiculous and cruel.

It’s also nearly impossible to allow anyone to join a school team as long as you don’t win.

If the games stayed local, I’d be okay with her playing on the team. Maybe she could play JV, but never make Varsity. (I don’t really know how high school sports work.)

I generally agree that she shouldn’t be taking opportunities set aside for girls on the state or competitive levels. If Michael Phelps clear advantages could be the result of specific medical intervention, I’d say the same there.

It’s reasonable to keep state level competitions set aside for girls. The hate and attacks that come with the people who often enforce that shit is not.

I’d happily pay for YouTube if they didn’t want such a ridiculous price for it.

Billionaires are a subset where they’ve already self-selected for extreme greed. Hopefully Supreme Court justices would be closer to a normal population.

When all your planes come back with bullet holes at points A, B, and C, where should you add additional armor?

Most of the fix should be much simpler. Pay them each $600k, indexed to inflation.

That should make them pretty resistant to bribery. Your quality of life really doesn’t improve much past that $600k point, even if you’re maintaining two houses. (And the justices aren’t representatives. They don’t need a second house.)

But yes, their tax returns should be public as well.

I wish more people on Reddit and Twitter would recognize that and use more discretion with who they’re creating a product for.

I’d recommend Signal for truly private messaging. I’ve heard things about Matrix, and the warning mentions Element.io, nether of which I’m personally familiar with.

Lemmy.world is a registered non-profit organization. https://fedihosting.foundation/about-us/

It’s easy enough to use the API to scrape the site and use all the posts and DMs for free. It’d be odd for OpenAI to pay for it.

Please do recognize that anything you post publicly IS public, whether that’s Facebook or here. The lack of an API isn’t going to stop places from scraping your data off of Facebook or Reddit either.

Your DMs here are explicitly public. That’s part of the federation between servers. If you want truly private DMs, there are options for that.

I suppose I should mention for full disclosure that I’m part of the (unpaid) staff here representing the Lemmy.World Community Team.

I haven’t paid for Lemmy yet. Well, other than volunteer time.

I guess if we want something where we’re not the product, we have to build it ourselves.

Especially on mobile.

Hey, it worked once before.

Well, we did it once before anyway.
