The feeling is mostly mutual.

Stupid Electoral College.

Tesseract and Photon do on the web. Maybe others, but I know those two do.

Pretty much this.

If you’ve ever tried using a phone charger to continuously power something at or near its rated maximum output, you’ll find that after a while the power becomes unstable and the charger often quite warm.

e.g. Continuously powering a Raspberry Pi or USB powered computer monitors.

And watch the next season of that show I like and condense it down to a bullet point list of spoilers. (/s if not obvious)

Man I sure hope so:

I use Federation starship classes as my codenames. Granted, I’m a tiny project, but I’ve yet to get a C&D from Paramount or the Roddenberry estate. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I run an instance by myself, so I tend to default to “new” mostly to catch spam and shit early and axe it.

On my LW account, I tend to stick to “Subscribed” unless I’m looking for new content to subscribe to. I also block a lot of communities and pretty much all bot accounts because of exactly what you listed in the post.

I don’t disagree at all. However, that is a whole lot easier said than done when one side is so far gone in an alternate reality of lies and hate.

We’re going to need a mass cult de-programming or something. I just don’t know how we come back from where we are.

We should just give them Mars. It’ll even fit their creation myth nicely. Earth will simply be the garden they were asked politely, but firmly, to leave.

After a campaign like this, how could you ever have a normal relationship with your pro-Trump neighbor/father-in-law/Uncle/Barber or what ever again?

You’re assuming those relationships survived the 2020 election. For many, myself included, they didn’t.

I was willing to overlook 2016, but after 4 years of horror culminating in a (failed) coup, and those people still supporting him, I just cut them out of my life.

Alcohol, cannabis, and limiting my exposure to news/politics. It’s working wonders, TBH.

Pretty much.

Every time I’ve heard “[X] should embrace AI or get left behind” it’s being said by someone making or selling AI (or a product they shoehorned AI into).

CAT S22 Flip as my daily driver. I also don’t really use my phone for content consumption anymore; I just need the basics + hotspot.

“Best phone” doesn’t really exist for me in the smarphone era because they’ve all been compromises. If my OnePlus 3 had a slide out QWERTY keyboard, it would probably qualify, though.

There’s another photo of him with Sen. Eric Schmitt of Missouri on a flight, and his phone is on the table there, too. That photo is more recent: it’s from October 5 of this year.

From the article:

If you zoom in on the phone at the table you can see Trump has that wallpaper of himself pointing at the camera. It’s much more difficult to see than the images going viral this week on social media, but it’s definitely the same wallpaper.

Thanks!

You are the best. Saving this! Will probably also upload it as a custom emoji on my instance.

RIP satire. :(

Werewolfing comes to mind.

If you know you’re gonna do something bad/stupid/dangerous/etc you can sequester yourself in an attempt to prevent it.

Getting high is a popular way to werewolf yourself.

I did find the “watch me turn off the TV” GIF but not not the lights :(

Thanks!

Yeah, I found that one but it wasn’t quite what I wanted so passed on it and fell back to Jurassic Park.

The painful part is that I have that episode on DVD, so I have access to the scene. I just don’t know how to go from DVD to GIF. lol

There you go!

I’d recommend also locking this post (and removing this comment from me) so the vote comments remain at the top (sometimes distinguishing them with ‘speak as mod’ doesn’t federate).
