She’s actually been fairly effective for a new congressman. But in order to get meaningful change she needs both position and allies in congress. She has a number of allies (AKA The Squad) but because Congress is so full of old fucks, getting a position in a committee with any power at all is difficult at best.

Meanwhile Jill Stein goes on TV, snipes at the democratic party and collects paychecks, all while eroding the party’s position all for literally no benefit whatsoever. The Green Party has been the single most ineffective third party in the history of the country. The only thing they’ve accomplished is siphoning off votes from Democrat presidential candidates and getting Republicans elected.

2016, not 2020

They actually hate you more. I think it’s because a person who has transitioned from being a man to a woman has discarded the only thing they value.

Truthfully, I wish we had a consistent ID system in general across the country. The varied IDs that each state produces make for a lot of confusion and loopholes that bad actors can take advantage of. Creating an identification number with even a low level of security in it would be a huge plus too. SSN’s are so fucking easy to just simply guess it’s not even funny. 😒

it makes a lot of sense and I’m not sure how that could change

It will change when the cancer finally kills that bastard.

Ask the Ukrainians what they think. It’ll be amusing to see how they flounce you.

Giving in to tyranny is voluntary slavery.

She literally quit when she was told she had a failing liver that could not recover. Just to be clear, there is absolutely no way in hell that she didn’t know she was on the way to killing her liver with her drinking because there are a plethora of signs long before you get to the point where alcohol has destroyed your liver beyond its own ability to repair itself. (Which is incredibly prodigious. The liver is the single most regenerative organ in the human body)

So forgive me if I’m skeptical that she really would have stopped being an alcoholic after she received a liver transplant.

IMO this was a tragedy of her own making and the money and effort in transplanting a liver would have been a complete waste. (Even one offered by her SO.) Especially when there is such a deficit of available organs and the surgeons who do the transplanting are needed for patients who aren’t likely to go back on the sauce 6 months later.

Yes cause 5 to 12-year-olds are the only people who play Minecraft. Nobody over the age of 12 plays Minecraft at all and there aren’t millions of Minecraft players out there that are anywhere from 12 to 70 years old.

Philosophical question: Can socialism and capitalism coexist?

Purely hypothetical.

Yes LoL, I referenced that in a joke further down the post. 💥😂

It was disabled even in accessibility mode in the last major update on my last phone (Pixel 8) I haven’t tried it on the Pixel 9 but I doubt I’ll have better luck.

The valuation is based on the expectation of the company to make massive profits. And if you think investor money is not profit for the people running Open AI, you’re crazy. We could only hope that they run out of money and go out of business. But that’ll never happen now with the amount of faith these corporations are putting in “AI” research.

It’s in the first bloody paragraph. 😮‍💨

OpenAI is begging the British Parliament to allow it to use copyrighted works because it’s supposedly “impossible” for the company to train its artificial intelligence models — and continue growing its multi-billion-dollar business — without them.

And if you follow the link the title of the article says it all:

#OpenAI is set to see its valuation at $80 billion—making it the third most valuable startup in the world

Being somebody who has to watch their sodium intake due to heart health concerns I would say that Morton is not at all deranged in creating this especially considering I’ve got a container of it sitting on my spice rack right now.

Though it should be noted I do my best not to think about the fact that KCL is used in lethal injections. 😒 I just thank the gods I don’t have any ulcers.

I tried adding pure sodium to some soup once. It did not end well. 💣💥😬

Because news agencies are so goddamn lazy now, that’s all they do is surf fucking Twitter.

I don’t know about Apple but Google used to make a little tone that let you know that it was listening to you. It doesn’t do that anymore. Now it just shows a little green light which, if you’re not looking directly at the phone you won’t see.

And it was pretty frequent when Google’s voice Assistant would randomly activate and I’d hear that little tone and I would have to turn it off so it wouldn’t sit there listening to my conversation. But now you don’t have that option, now if you miss that little light everything you say is recorded.

Fuck these services. I have permanently disabled both my phones 's Google Assistant and the Nest speaker I bought. Yes, it’s less convenient. But the fact of the matter is that these companies aren’t interested in making a service that is useful to you they just want to collect data on everything you do so they can sell it. And to be clear, I was fine with them collecting data on stuff that I actively participated in, it’s the price I was willing to pay. But for them to pull this shady ass shit of removing the audible notification is just garbage.

Interestingly Israel has violated all three of these on hundreds of occasions in Gaza.

Wrong
