What books do you consider must reads?
  • How about some pre-transhuman solarpunk? I recommend my favorite book, Walkaway by Cory Doctorow. It's about the birth pangs of a post scarcity society. Absolutely brilliant.

    Russia warns the United States of the risks of World War Three
  • WW3 is more likely to happen if Russia wins. If we show our bellies to Russia, China would move on Taiwan. If Ukraine wins, we kill two birds with one drone.

    White House lawyers who advised Reagan, Bush endorse Harris over Trump in 2024 showdown
  • Yeah. It's Faux, but I doubt it'll make a lick of difference. Anything before Trump isn't MAGA. And if Faux is saying something anti-Trump, his base will just interpret that as "establishment".

    Why does getting a job in tech suck right now? (Is it AI?!?)
  • "Rightsizing" makes stock prices go up. I'm trying to find my first position in tech, but every position is advertising for 3+ years experience. Guess I'll have to work for pennies on Fiverr.

    Why are so many leaders in tech evil?
  • Philanthropy is PR for billionaires. If we taxed them, we would have a social safety net and no need for their pet projects.

    What’s the craziest thing you’ve seen someone driving do?
  • Here in Japan, I saw a dude pulled over by a cop. Of course, I didn't see him driving, but the dude was absolutely legless. Like had problems standing. That was the one and only time I ever seen Japanese cops actually doing their job.

    guess I'll live 🤷‍♂️
  • Here's the hard truth: people who commit public acts of suicide propagate suicide. I was in the first car when someone jumped in front of the train I was on. I didn't see any gore but I heard the thump. Now, I've been dealing with depression for a couple of decades. And being close to this suicide made that last year of the pandemic super fucked upped. Public suicide isn't murder, not manslaughter, but it's one step below that.

    Is eating in front of the TV really that bad for you?
  • Yes. Eating the front of a TV is bad for you. Eating any part of the TV is not considered healthy. On top of that, TV dinners are really expensive with how inflation has hit the electronics industry. Save your money and your body and choose roadkill instead.

    TV nerds: what should I watch
  • I thought I was the only one who's seen Scavenger's Reign. I haven't heard much talk about it. Damn shame because it's amazing.

  • I just finished listening to the latest Behind the Bastards episodes, and was quite surprised to find this was one of the least bastardly subjects in the history of the podcast. In it, Robert Evans mentioned that none of the children have come forward with allegations of sexual abuse (or with any allegations at all).

    So, how was it living with Marion Pettie and his utopian experiment?

    Hey all. I realize this is kinda tangential to SD, but it seems aipromtguide is stuck in a loading state on my desktop. The menu loads and but the site data doesn't. This problem started after I reinstalled windows 10. I've tried both Brave and Edge, and the problem persists. Same thing with the VPN either on or off. Incognito mode also doesn't make a difference. On my phone the site works like it always has even when connected to the same wifi router.

    Any help would be most appreciated!

    Also, bonus points for suggesting a good alternative.

    Just a small nitpick, but I like to use A1111 in a private tab. Bit of a pain to close the tab that starts in the regular one. Is there a setting or command line thingy to have it start up in a private one?
