I didn’t move here to be told how to live my life.

You kinda did though…Texas has a long history of dictating what people can and can’t do. They’re great at PR, but they never liked when anybody is or does something they don’t agree with.

Lawrence v. Texas was the exact case that made it illegal for Texas to kick doors down and arrest consenting adults for what they do in their bedrooms. Prior to that, cops could kick your shit in if they even suspected you were practicing anything but straight sex in the missionary position if they felt like it.

Yeah man, that Thomas Jefferson guy was a real unhinged fuckwad.

What country before ever existed a century & a half without a rebellion? & what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon & pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. It is it’s natural manure.

Republicans don’t care if you can’t use your fans, they only care that you keep buying them.

We are only consumers to feed corporate profits in their equations.

Yeah, her and her ilk are making it so we won’t get to be as old as her. Recent generations have shorter life expectancies than previous.

So, yeah, not lookin likely there chief.

A few versions ago they removed the ability to tear a tab out of the IDE to have it open separately.

WTF why? Do XCode devs not use their own product or something???

Supposedly they have experts and think tanks at their disposal to help them in these sorts of endeavours, for what?

Experts aren’t hired to craft or guide legislation. They’re hired to give a pathway to a destination.

In other words, politicians already know what they want and what they’re going to do, they need a way to make it accepted by society and to force corporations to play ball. “Experts” and “think tanks” will always align with that agenda.

That’s…worse in a lot of ways. Mercury compounds are way way fucking bad and are even more dangerous than “just” straight elemental mercury.

Typically as a vapor, even. And it has a fairly low vapor pressure for a liquid. Not even that much vapor is needed.

It’s an immense amount of liquid mercury - especially since it probably had organic compounds in it too. Bioavailable mercury is truly fucked stuff, and those responsible for this should live the rest of their lives in a chemical shed.

Agreed.

Under a Democrat: “We have to respect the rule of law, the court made a decision and now we have to abide by it.”

Under a Republican: “The court has made its decision, now it is up to them to enforce it.”

Democrats are truly spineless - they don’t even play the same game and bitch about losing constantly. Fuck this “honor in politics” shit, the fascists are winning.

4chan doesn’t fuck with animal abusers. They fuck their lives up and doxx them.

Why create an AI that may or may not accurately summarize the news? Isn’t that just contributing to the disinformation and misinformation problem facing social media?

Bing GPT will tell you a 15 word sentence is actually 14 words and tell you that you can’t count. ChatGPT fabricates / hallucinates “facts” it thinks the user wants to hear. Just look at the lawyer facing disbarment for using ChatGPT for a trial - it just made up references and pretended they were real, and couldn’t be convinced otherwise.

Dude that’s not an Xbox controller, it’s a Logitech third party you’d have fights over your buddies with to not have to use.

Also, Xbox controllers are not used where people’s lives are at risk. Periscopes, drones, etc. but they’re not using them as primary controls on human manned craft.

That sucks to hear. Joaquin Phoenix is great in practically everything and Ari Aster crushed it with Hereditary.

Maybe it’s a movie that works better on paper than celluloid.
