Remember kids, tell Grandma and Grandpa that only fraudsters complain about missing a check so that when DOGE fucks this up, is the victims’ fault.

This saves you the hassle of helping your grandparents trying to log in to their account because they are fraudsters for having problems.

Totally tracks with Project 2025 and the Buttery Revolution.

That’s only if you are assuming they are expected to do anything other than be a placeholder whole it gets shut down. They are a loyal signature authority, full stop.

Not hide. They want to return the developed world to literal medieval-style surfdom economics. It’s total egotistical delusion.

Realistically, between this and the FBI, what we’re going to discover over the next year or two is how well the Three-letters have actually been keeping terrorism at bay over the years.

Literally the farthest the conspiracy theories went in 2012 is where we’re headed. Martial law, false flags, posse comitatus, seizing guns.

The number of them fully embracing and aspiring to things like tradwive life is terrifying. Their motivations are different, but the result is very similar.

OK, well let’s see how it plays out in 20 years and see where things go.

100% agree. These along with induction charging roads are what puts EVs over the line in terms of average distance per charge.

Sodium is also far easier to get, no mines involved. This might be closer to the era of 89¢ gas.

I don’t hate the “art.” The AI can’t do much about it.

What I strongly dislike is people who manage to draft literally 40 words or less and think they “created” something.

You didn’t. You a mathematical model to do something for you. You therw 175 tokens into a whirlpool and got am 87% what you wanted image out. If you even had an idea of what you wanted before hand.

It’s literally one of the Signal texts to blame Biden.

Looking forward to floating my life savings out of the market and into silver coins and AUS Dollars to avoid this mess.

You should get a better VPN. Mine only gives me this rarely, often when I’m using a node that I can assume is where a bunch of prime would use to run bots.

Well, it makes me double check my knowledge, which helps me learn to some degree, but it’s not what I’m trying to make happen.

I lime to use GPT to create practice tests for certification tests. Even if I give it very specific guidance to double check what it thinks is a correct answer, it will gladly tell me I got questions wrong and I will have to ask it to triple check the right answer, which is what I actually answered.

Can’t smell something that was so pervasive in the environment that an estimated 660 metric tons are frozen into Antarctic ice. Humans only smell changes in things, our brains are wired to grow to ignore a pervasive smell.

Seriously. HN doesn’t even actually need JS to read it. And it’s certainly not filled with trackers by any means. Might as well call Lemmy a privacy nightmare.

Yeah, that stale cigarette smell permanently baked into things like hotels or cars or houses is the smell that immediately brings me right back to the late 80s/early 90s. But fondly to some degree.

Before rhe 1990s, it was Cigarettes all the way down.

1980s - cigarettes and hair spray.

70s - cigarettes and alternating body odor and heavy cologne/perfume.

60s - cigarettes and canned food.

50s - cigarettes and gasoline.

40s - cigarettes and either gunpowder or a machine shop.

30s - cigarettes and dust.

20s - cigarettes and bootleg whiskey

10s - cigarettes and bloody mud

1900-1909 - cigarettes and horse shit in the street.

Welcome to a core aspect of the lawsuits so far and under whose legal authority contracts can be canceled.

It’s not a liability issue, it’s about details of under what legal authority based on job roles things can happen, and who is or isn’t around to exercise those authorities.

A contracting officer doesn’t spring from the head of Zeus fully grown and convered in the armor of niche personal liability insurance. They are legally required to take specific trainings before they can have signing authority. That’s the law… Today at least. And the GOP has struggled with it because thinking and details are hard for them.
