It’s because instead of using logic to reason, they use emotion: usually outrage, fear, uncertainty, anger, distrust. All while of course projecting the ‘overly emotional and illogical’ stamp onto “bleeding heart liberals”.

Caps conveys what their audience pays attention to.

That was such a wild time with a new scandal or two every morning. I don’t blame anyone for forgetting.

I hope to God I don’t ever have to explain to my son or daughter how Trump got elected a second time.

He withheld aid from the president of Puerto Rico. Which… Was him.

Not here in Minnesota. Thanks Mr. Walz!

To attack a narcissist, you need to attack the cracks in the reality they paint for themselves.

It just so happens that as someone who has been an enthusiastic and professional grade debater for 40+ years, Harris also knew exactly how to do this without getting his mud on herself, and she knew to do it just as he was hoping to hit his stride.

It was great to watch. So many politicians from so many walks of life have been completely humiliated by Trump’s ridiculous persona. He’s so inflammatory, so full of lies, and so narcissistic professional politicians have been reduced to flinging his poo back at him. Instead Harris made him wallow in it.

You know that famous Texas saying: “Don’t tread on me, unless you’re a christofacist, then HARDER.”

It won’t actually work. So yes, this is just a grift until funding dries up.

See if it’s supported by Lineage OS.

Real talk though: why would he ever rule out future possibilities?

I will confess that most of my knowledge comes from hiking/backpacking, so arm length isn’t often a large concern.

Often mentioned in the same breath as the Torrentshell but generally more adjustable (and by some measures, higher quality):

• Outdoor Research Aspire II
• Outdoor Research Helium
• Outdoor Research Foray II
• Enlightened Equipment Visp
• REI Flash Stretch

Haha, wow that was crazy, right everyone? Geeze, why did we even do that thing we did? What was that even? So weird!

Anyway, everything is back to the way it was before! Maybe even better! You can all come back now from the various forks and open alternatives you’ve spent the last 18 months migrating to!

Amen.

“…wants his platforms to be “neutral” in politics, and that he regrets removing or downplaying some content, including COVID disinformation”

To quote a great man: “Reality has a well known liberal bias.”

Yes. The electoral college is nearly unwinnable with Texas, NY, and California stacked against you. The GOP would have to actually run on policies that people want, so…

This is precisely what Opensuse MicroOS, Aeon, etc do, with the one difference that they use the snapshots as a fallback rather than a test env.

The answer, as always with extremism, comes back to indoctrination, disenfranchisement, and finally, radicalization.

There have been tons of studies in this, but at a high level, men are indoctrinated by constantly being put under a lens of toxic masculinity by their peer groups and male role models.

Then they become disenfranchised from “mainstream” ideals, not hard to do with the mental health crisis and wealth disparity we see in the world every day. Or the simpler method of being raised in a small community (a church or small town) where such progressive ideas are frowned upon and demonized.

And finally, they search for meaning and inclusion in an ‘in group’. This is natural human behavior, and is preyed upon by a laundry list of bad actors who are all too happy to offer answers, meaning, and most of all, some nebulous group to blame and attack for your problems. This step in particular has become easier and easier for more extreme groups with the advent of the internet.

It’s a vicious cycle. And that’s not to say the victims here are blameless, because of course they made their choices along the way, but they are indeed victims.

We know they hearded them off cliffs in many parts of the world, probably egged on by throwing spears and jabs.

It seems pretty unlikely they’d have regularly risked death by planting a spear and waiting for a charge. It’s not like a multiple ton animal is going to be stopped by the spear.

Well realistically it’s up to Samsung and Micron to respond. We could get a price war, which would be grand. But unfortunately we’ll probably instead see price collusion once again and the main competition will effectively settle on a price they’re all making a ton of money at.

Oh wow so that means the consumer cost will be -50%, right? …Right?

Yup. A seriously intelligent AI we probably wouldn’t have to worry too much about. Morality, and prosocial behavior are logical and safer than the alternative.

But a dumb AI that manages to get too much access is extremely risky.
