/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

The reason you only get to vote for the “lesser of two evils” is because you don’t participate in primaries (assuming you are talking about the US system here)

Just popping in to remind you they destroyed the Iowa caucus to stop Bernie.

He “legitimately” lost after they handed Iowa to a nobody loser like Pete to render Iowa irrelevant in the future. You don’t really think Pete won, do you? Sure, they gave the appearance of “cleaning up” after Iowa, but that was always the plan! Now Iowa is done as a relevant caucus state.

I voted in Iowa. Getting my caucus vote made irrelevant showed me the Democratic Party is not a viable vehicle. They’ll literally throw out your votes if they don’t like it.

She didn’t build shit. She paid someone else to build a portfolio that doesn’t outperform the market, same as every billionaire.

I won’t say she isn’t smart, but I will say she can go to a work camp with the rest of them.

Yeah I’ve basically retried every food I was picky about as a child.

Turns out I like all sorts of stuff if it’s cooked right!

Can anyone else feel sensations in their brain?

Last time I checked there aren’t nerve endings in our brain, so it should be impossible to feel sensations in my brain. However, at random times during my life, like seeing the plot twist in Fight Club for example, I’ve felt feelings in my brain. I just felt it again now while doing some intense introspection, and I just...

Anyone who has had discontinuation syndrome knows the experience of “brain zaps” - basically feels like an electric shock toy going off inside your head somewhere behind your eyes/sinuses. Is it anything like that?

ugh yeah that’s its name, forgot how fucking awful it was

40k was supposed to be a parody 🤢

The targets are selected by AI dude, they’re just killing whoever the chatbots tell them to kill. 🙄

The vast majority of Americans don’t even know that ‘merriment’ is a word. They just know you’re supposed to say ‘Merry Christmas.’ That’s it.

Power poles seem pretty vulnerable.

If traffic cameras worked to prevent traffic violations they wouldn’t be revenue streams. People would just rationally follow the traffic laws to avoid consequences. Yet, in the real world, we know it will only slow down the people who think about consequences.

We could expropriate the expropriators. 😉

Well yeah, because China is a functional country that wants to actually decrease traffic violations.

The point of American cameras is to raise funds. That’s why there’s no immediate feedback for when you get a ticket. They don’t want people to connect their driving to consequences, they want the consequences to be distant with no immediate impact.

All it would take is for traffic cameras to flash drivers when they get a ticket. It’d be that easy. Yet it will never happen.

queermunist, (edited )
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

Absolutely.

America does this thing where only some areas have cameras, creating huge dead zones with no camera enforcement. This is done to catch drivers off-guard so that more traffic tickets are given out. As I understand it, China just has cameras on every street because their goal is to decrease traffic violations and not just generate ticket revenue.

I still think my idea of traffic cameras flashing drivers when they get ticketed would be effective, but China has it figured out.

Oh wow, warning flashes for green lights would be so helpful! There’s an intersection on the way to work where I live that has a four way stop, but at highway speeds. You have to hit the brakes hard when the light turns yellow or you’ll blow through when it turns red 😅

queermunist,
@queermunist@lemmy.ml avatar

They literally can’t be both. If the camera is a revenue stream then people are constantly getting tickets, which means nothing has been solved.

I don’t really care about motorists, but that doesn’t stop me from acknowledging these as a scam

No, cracker, you are not the victim of racism.

Fools. By exposing them to a low enough dose over and long enough period of time you will breed a new form of super vampires, completely immune to holy water!

Fuck yes ebikes!

Not only do they slash oil demand, but manufacturing and maintaining an ebike has a fraction of the environmental impact of an electric car. Also, you can do a lot of the maintenance yourself with cheap tools and a small amount of work space. Also also, makes my ass look good~🍑

The tech requires huge amounts of processing power and loose laws to even exist. It could be banned quite easily.

It won’t be lol

What it does is use a large statistical model to determine which pixels it copies, but it’s still copy/paste with extra steps.

Far be it from me to defend the concept of intellectual property, but if a chat bot can be argued to not plagiarize then that implies it has an intelligence. It really doesn’t. It’s plagiarism with extra steps.
