Proxies are effective political attack vectors, see: politician’s family like hunter biden, non running candidates like joe biden, talkshow hosts who speak positively about one or the other candidate

This kind of focal shift happens all the time, evidently to pretty decent effect, elon husk making himself the center of the R campaign brings his positive and negative baggage with it.

Side note

Husk isn’t a US citizen so this is his peak political influence

Intent is harder to prove but just as much a part of the US legal system as anything else. Everybody knows what he’s doing.

Iasip: “because of the implication”

Looks cool, when was the last time Zelda was a playable character in a mainline Zelda game?

I still remember flipboard being forcefully installed as the action button app for an old phone. My rage continues to smolder a decade later.

An app that couldn’t be uninstalled and took up precious resources. That’s all they’ll ever be to me.

Just collect your tears and pour them over the tree, plenty of salt coming out of you

A MONTH?! Jfc I pay like $50/month for one vehicle

Man I think focusing on the opposition is the wrong play, we saw how far that brought clinton.

It would be better to focus on policy and the future, people will focus on whatever you draw their attention to

“rips” “drags” “slams”

What is with the weird word choice for modern news articles?

Lets whip out the thesaurus, use some flowery language! It can still be easy to understand but let’s expand past the weird 3 verbs we’ve been limited to!

“Senator Matt Gaetz forgot that investigations prove innocence too, and lashes out with his comments about a new investigation into his alleged intimate relationships with high schoolers.”

Really, if somebody wanted to investigate me about something I knew I was innocent about, I’d say “do your worst” not “ugh why would you investigate me” in a whiny voice.

I think you may mean eidetic

Common password, people in various places will pretend that the platform will censor your password. For example my password is *******.

This is generally an attempt to steal other users password or generally an attempt to prank the gullible. Your password will not be censored ever.

At the start of the study, we asked participants to take a visual sensitivity test. For the test, they had to press a button as soon as they saw a triangle forming in a field of moving dots. People who would develop dementia were much slower to see this triangle on the screen than people who would remain without dementia

Guy shoulda tried emacs instead, wife is probably an elitist

Not sure it’s possible to avoid entirely, as the community here grows we get more of all types, it’s hard to have a truly only-positive community when moderation is voluntary and the masses have full reign to submit literally anything.

Do you think a technology solution would help? Sentiment analysis on posts and gently redirect people to other communities instead of outright blocking them?

Maybe the only real solution is personal resilience and recognizing that we don’t need to feel negative feelings just because we received a negative communication

I’m meeting up with a friend and their SO for a little hiking and brunch at a local breakfast joint. Picking up the vision pro today for work so that’s exciting!

I think it’s easy to be negative if a person doesn’t consider the human reading their anonymous posts, people feel empowered to take out their problems from life in general on random faceless internet strangers.

Globalization is already well underway, our economies are entertwined, our technological advances, our medicine, knowledge, and even entertainment.

There is war, incompatible theologies, racism, hate, and all sorts of stuff that has the appearance of not being “united”. As long as humans exist those things will persist. We’re not robots, our flaws exist because of the nature of our biology.

I think it’s fair from at least this perspective to say we’re already united.
