I’m also going to note that a ton of slaughterhouse workers are either undocumented or are the sorts of legal first-generation Latino immigrants Trump would still want to illegally deport. Even as a vegan who wants to see this industry die I can see how fucking disastrous that kind of shock would be for food prices. Even the change in public perception would be massive since it seems like the price of meat is one of the most significant barometers most meat-eaters use for how expensive groceries are.

Shhh, don’t call it “haptic feedback” or they might make them flat, unmoving buttons that have a vibration motor behind them.

This is why I only hire Shelly de Killer.

It’s a shame Firebird doesn’t seem to be on F-Droid. But Graph89 is really good for the older calculators!

Good. Fuck Chegg. Let cheating, plagiarizing dipshits have the dubious AI slop.

I definitely avoided Lemmy the first go-round with the API fuckery because it seemed from the outside like basically just a tankie protest Reddit in a similar way to how Voat was just a neo-Nazi protest Reddit. To the Lemmy devs’ absolute credit, they don’t push new users toward any of those, though.

I thought one day after having had a Mastodon for some time that I might not have given Lemmy a fair shake, so I went back and ended up finding that most instances are basically normal Reddit fare but honestly less shitty than Reddit proper (there’s a trade-off that posts are less frequent and that small, niche communities can attract unwanted attention by having their posts almost immediately show up in ‘all’).

Hence “4+”, because I agree with you wholeheartedly.

When I told people that literally every aspect of life will be worse under Trump, I absolutely meant it. Republican poison will seep into literally every aspect of our lives. And this is exactly what I mean when I say “everything is political” to those who only single out a handful of hot-button issues as “political”.

With the rise of fascism in the US, just keep “everything is political” in the back of your mind for the next 4+ years, and if you don’t believe it by then, I don’t know what to tell you.

I was making a sarcastic analogy aimed at how dumb the original commenter’s request was. I do agree with you.

Not only that:

According to witnesses, Bossio said, the 17-year-old was walking away from a separate altercation with a male Harris supporter when he struck Tomasko and knocked her to the ground.

He did it because he was pissed at a male supporter but was too big of a wuss to throw hands with someone who could plausibly fight back, so to solve that, he sucker-punched an old lady. They’re not just abusive garbage, they’re pathetic cowards.

Listen, if you can’t tell me, in detail, the plan the bomb squad has to defuse the bomber’s bombs, then I’m just going to have to assume the bomb squad is incompetent and vote for the bomber threatening to blow everyone up.

“Please waste your time and make me look credible by dignifying my utter ridiculousness with a legitimate response, thanks.”

It’s a long read, but it’s a damn good one.

Iowa gets 6 electoral votes, same as Nevada, for those curious.

Edit: addendum: “wtf”

Incidentally, we try not to use these sorts of “Forbes contributor” articles on Wikipedia when possible. They’re effectively just blogs masquerading under the credibility of Forbes staff’s actual journalism.

That said, I don’t see anything wrong with this excerpt. This is legitimate attack vector.

The two criteria I suggested were “not saturated with ads and AI trash” (technically just the latter would satisfy OP’s problem), and DDG meets both of those with no problem. Its AI “assistant” and its ads can both be trivially disabled. I use DuckDuckGo because I love its frontend and because it gives me fewer problems than Google did. I’ve only ever used alternative search engines that piggyback off the major ones (as you listed: DDG, Startpage, and SearX), so someone else would have to answer that for you.

Using a search engine that isn’t saturated with ads and AI trash also solves this problem.

Oh shit, I think you’re right.

So one single poll suggests this when every other poll seems to suggest otherwise (even then, 1% is well within the single poll’s own +/- 2.1% margin of error), and the news outlet reporting this is the zero-standards rag Newsweek. Thank you, FrogPrincess, very cool.

Stein has the potential to give Michigan to Trump, and we should be worried about that.

But they brag about five (5) whole Green Party members getting elected to state legislatures since 1985. You know, that’s like one (1) whole member every eight (8) years, which is a lot considering there are only thousands of state legislature positions across the US (some of which have such little competition fucking Buck Cluck could probably get elected to a few dozen of them). So I think your point is moot tbh.
