It’s very awkward. I think they mean you can stop the intent to cancel, so cancel the cancellation.

That’s a good question. I honestly don’t know, they’ll probably try to hang him on primetime tv as soon as legally possible.
I just keep hearing about discord and 4chan and how he’s got a trans roommate/girlfriend/landlord. If anyone has any reputable sources I’m interested. I just feel like cable news, the Trump admin, and the Internet are all reporting 24/7 on something they need to investigate.
At least people face consequences for lying under oath. Well in theory.

I wouldn’t trust anyone describing his political leanings or motives until court. It’s being twisted around and rumors are spreading like wildfire in a vacuum of actual leadership.

that’s awesome! I’m glad it is helping you ease your pain. It helps a lot with my anxiety and sleeping, but I’m a weirdo and I’m in my head a lot, so even if I’m super deep it doesn’t shut off that part of my brain.
I do imagine if I was being boiled alive it would still hurt a lot, but I’d prefer to be on some strong edibles if that “had” to happen.
- Comment on UNDER THE THC 🎶 4 days ago:
I have experimented on myself quite a bit with THC. It isn’t a pain reliever in my experience. I have had a headache or body pain, used some, and then I was just like “fuck, that’s all I can think about now.”
It’s great to distract from general malaise or boredom, but won’t help if anything painful is actually happening.

- Comment on 'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash: 'If you're trying to drive a monster truck with a leaf blower's motor, you're going to be disappointed' 5 days ago:
I played lots of borderlands 2 with my friends back in the day it was pretty fun.
Three came out, played it for a bit, but it was just more of the same and somehow worse. Then I watched that God awful movie.
I think I’m over the franchise, but maybe here in a few years I’ll pick it up for $5 in a summer sale.

I bought byd stock. It keeps going down. I will never understand investing
- Comment on Are you not entertained? 3 weeks ago:
I think the key here is “we”. Collectively if people had a common understanding of what is going on in the world they would be appalled and demand more of our leaders (or get new ones)
Instead people vaguely know what is going on, through the biased lense of their news sources.
I think if you asked most Americans who Netanyahu is and what he is doing you’d get a blank stare. If you ask them what is up with tswift they would excitedly explain that she just got engaged and recently had a crazy expensive tour.
How any of this gets corrected is beyond me, and that’s exactly how the people in power want it.

relax guy!
- Comment on Why people say they have a "boy cat" or a "girl cat" but when the cat grows up, they don't call is a "man cat" or "woman cat"? 5 weeks ago:
Probably the same reason my six year old dog is still my puppy. She is just a baby after all.
- Comment on Techcrunch reports that AI coding tools have "very negative" gross margins. They're losing money on every user. 5 weeks ago:
They are in the train the trainer phase where developers are training their models and getting some benefit from the results it spits out.
The enshitification will begin soon. They have already talked about inserting ads in responses.
I fear people will grow attached to AI chats, which will emotionally manipulate them into buying stuff or supporting specific causes. The ads on a platform like this are going to make google AdWords and pay per click feel like advertising in the newspaper.
- Comment on Meet the AI vegans: They are choosing to abstain from using artificial intelligence for environmental, ethical and personal reasons. Maybe they have a point 1 month ago:
It follows, but it is also feels like click bait.
A definition of vegan is:
A vegetarian who eats plant products only, especially one who uses no products derived from animals, as fur or leather.
There is an environmental parallel, and it made me read the article to see what they were on about – so I guess it worked.
To be clear, I am very pro environment (I live in it); I just feel like this is crossing the streams of related, but completely different movements, isn’t particularly helpful.

No mayo in the bedroom? Why even bother.
- Comment on What is the maximum number of potatoes you could grow in your house or on property you own before it becomes a crime? 1 month ago:
There is no limit to the potatoes you can grow. The only limit is your imagination.
If you live in a place where cultivating cannabis is prohibited, and your power usage spikes, you may be placed under surveillance.
If you have an HOA or city ordinances about the condition of your yard you might get a slap on the wrist if your potato farm is unsightly. Otherwise, as not a lawyer, grow on.

Abstaining from a thing does not make one a vegan. That’s not how any of this works.

The homeless people in my area accept venmo and square cash. They put their details on their signs, which is pretty smart.
