  I still don’t know how to articulate the feeling I get seeing my country in decline but also seeing the world rearrange itself in a way that is probably healthier long-term as it happens. The Germans don’t have some long frankenword for simultaneous relief and deep unease at the same time, do they?

  Four Winds Shotgun is a good thing to know about. I don’t think you even need a machine shop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rise of the AI Soldiers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Man we got war droids already and the people who really need ones that work are NOT making theirs shaped like a guy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Laws basically treats your mind and your body as two separate entities, since suicide isn't treated as an excercise of free will and self determination, but as an assault by the mind against the body.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  He may not be alright, but he isn"t wrong either

  It gave her Mar-a-Lago face

  unholies your land

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why would you ask such a thing? Did you hear what Trump said today? The world has to know!01!0!0!!0!!!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve got a suspicion I can’t shake that there’s an astroturf campaign to make people tired of talking about this shit rather than tired of the shit itself. It’s defense to keep ideas from entering the cult.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What the fuck is going on with Iran and what will happen next?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Going by the polls, roughly one in ten or perhaps more Americans have changed their mind about him already. They’re mostly independents, but he has also lost most of the literal actual Hitler-hailing nazis, which is a serious blow to his people power.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨God lays out the rules for bad drivers and eternal hell⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I see someone passing me. I notice I’m going slower than I thought, so I speed up.

  Ah shit, now that guy can’t pass me like this and it’s awkward as fuck. Guess I’ll slow down a little so he can get by me, then pick back up. Wash, rinse, repeat. I’m sorry.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can to many hits to the head make a person the R word in animals? My bc loves to run around the house and hits his head constantly but shakes it off. He acts normal and everything exceept4 zoomies?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve heard of it causing dementia regularly in blue-footed boobies because of their habit of high-speed diving to hunt. Every animal I’ve heard of that uses its head to bash things has a lot of special padding in the skull too. I think it’s pretty safe to assume animals can be concussed abd suffer similar forms of brain damage to a human.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the two party system is just one big party⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is pretty true, but remember that it is fixable. Voting in primaries is where you shape your party.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rabbit holes, girl; have you never heard of them?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The girls I know do this shit too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I Am Sexually Attracted To Eevee From Pokemon⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not even gonna give it a water stone first?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how it feels to chew 5 gum⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How it chews to gum five feels. Sense your stimulate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Floating turbine towers above — the S1500 hovers to harvest wind at 131 feet⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t be arsed to dig up the equation, but it may mean that the wind has 200 times more usable energy, which I think is a cube function of its speed. Wouldn’t be 2000 knots in that case

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Expecto patronum my ass!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The gun is his patronus

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At one time, a man seeing a female's naked knee was equivalent to a man seeing a female's breast today.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve got an even bigger secret: Men are too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Constantly⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Have a burger, then three beers later I’ll talk to you about politics

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Better be a sex offender registry on those damn space ships⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think I can assume from here that there aren’t any aliens, because they would NOT be touching this for a cheap distraction if there was anything of note to see.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨She must be really smart⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty sure this is AI too in addition to being otherwise shitty and tired.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I took antidepressants for my Weltschmerz (world-weariness)... would I become a worse artist?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Looking at Trent Reznor’s life and career I don’t think it’s ethical for me to tell you the answer man

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it theoretically possible Trump and ICE are killing a very large number of immigrants (like 25% of those detained) and no one knows?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  ICE has always “lost” suspicious amounts of children.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Twice the rejection⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m a bi guy. While I’m happily married, I can assure you that if I were looking for someone, I would not do this. Hiding who I am is not fun and can lead to bigger problems later.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Twice the rejection⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m actually pretty sure that there are enough people of either gender who will not date a bisexual to make the bisexual dating pool smaller than the straight one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We will never know the name of a human that lived 50,000 years ago⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I just like to imagine there was a real person called Unga Bunga though. It seems statistically likely. Or some guy named, like, Andrew or something, but with absolutely no linguistic ties to any of the modern name’s roots, like it arose independently more than once.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LLM's despite all the flaws it probably made it easier to switch to Linux.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Fortunately, the most invasive anti-cheats seem to be popular on games I don’t care for. So far my research has told me I might need to fiddle with Vermintide 2 a little but nothing else I play has it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LLM's despite all the flaws it probably made it easier to switch to Linux.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Much better source would be asking some Linux guy on Lemmy.

  Speaking of that, I recently learned Steam can run Windows games on Linux and now I want to switch. I dual-booted Ubuntu a while back and liked it. What’s a good distro these days? If I just want it to be easy without the ever-expanding baggage of Microsoft, is there a better call than Mint? I know you guys are out there and probably stopping by to chew OP out for asking a LLM for technical advice.

  Just gotta grill that shit and everyone will be drooling for it

  Makes sense. Lots of individuals are dipshits.
