Pennsylvania: anger among Puerto Ricans in key swing state after racist remarks
  • I’m about to look into the guy myself, and I guess opening for a Trump rally tells me what I need to know, but is that comedian known for being cool with fascists, or is he an edgy comedian who says shit just to get people riled up and doesn’t really care about politics?

    I’ve heard of the Kill Tony show, but I’ve just never watched it or looked into it or anything.

    Elon Musk Fans Are Losing So Much Money to Crypto Scams
  • while other times they utilized Musk’s association with neo-fascist presidential candidate Donald Trump.

    I love that they called him what he is. I wish more in media would.

    I Don’t Know Why Women Keep Laughing at Me When I’m Out Driving my Tesla Cybertruck
  • There’s a Tesla showroom near me and dozens of cybertrucks out front, all in a couple of lines. They look even more ridiculous when they’re like that, like the point is really driven home about just how ugly they are.

    Some people with ADHD thrive in periods of stress, new study shows
  • Hard disagree. This isn’t a superpower. It’s pressure put on us by timelines due to our chronic procrastination that causes a lot of stress. It leads to less sleep and while it may motivate us short term, the long term health effects aren’t good for us. And yeah we may get things done, but at least in my case they’re splotched together clumsily out of desperation and still haven’t gotten the attention and focus that was required.

    It’s more of an “oh shit I have 1 day to do this important thing that I really needed a week to do properly. That doesn’t enable me to do it properly, it just makes me panic and focus long enough to pull an all-nighter and get the bare minimum done that will pass for something decent.

    TLDR I have ADHD and I don’t feel like this is a good thing.

    I miss when the quiet part was kept quiet
  • Years ago, well before Trump was a name we heard multiple times every fucking day, George Takei came and spoke at a thing I attended. He told the story of his family being rounded up during WWII because they were Japanese.

    He was only 4 or 5 or so, but he still remembers the moment when they came to his house and took him and his family away to one of those camps.

    It was an incredibly moving story and he told it with such emotion that it was as if it had happened to him the year before. People in the audience were tearing up. I’ll never forget it.

    This is not okay.

    Tim Walz is the victim of a disturbing deepfake campaign & Russia is likely behind it
  • I was thinking it would be akin to something like this:

    U.S. says Russia funded media company that paid right-wing influencers millions for videos

    Two Russian nationals working for a news network controlled by Vladimir Putin's government funneled millions of dollars to an American media company that paid right-wing influencers for videos pushing narratives favorable to the Kremlin, U.S. prosecutors alleged on Wednesday.

    The indictment alleges that Tenet never disclosed to its audience that it was "funded and directed" by RT, and neither the company nor its founders registered with the Justice Department as an agent of a foreign principal.

    Right-wing podcaster shelves show after Russian money dries up.
  • I have no idea what something like his show takes to run, but if it doesn’t require 30 people and really does only require even say 10-15 people, he’s doing the exact same thing that people like him and Elon do - “I could do it better and with fewer people on the payroll! What a waste!”

    So part of me hopes he really is just getting ripped off.

    I upgraded from a 13 Pro to a 15 Pro. So far the only internet I’ve connected to since I got the phone is at home, but with 2 different networks (one is 5g but otherwise same router and everything).

    I never updated the 13 Pro to iOS 17 because I knew I would be upgrading soon, but I never had this issue with any former phone and have been on this same internet setup since 2016.

    I have an iPad Mini 6 that I did update to iOS 17, and it’s fine.

    I’ve tried resetting network settings, turning off Wi-Fi assist, turning off networking and wireless in location services-> system services (saw that as a potential fix), and restarting multiple times, but it still randomly drops my WiFi signal on both home networks.

    Everything else wrt network/connection on my previous phone is the same - VPN setup, etc.

    My SO has a 14 pro & did update to 17 and does not have this problem.

    Does anyone have any ideas? I’ve searched for answers and I see that this has been an issue off and on for the past few years, but one of the fixes I mentioned above usually seems to help I guess because I haven’t seen any other suggestions.

    Could it be the phone itself? Is it worth exchanging it for another one before the 2 weeks runs out?

    Thanks everyone.

    Long story short, I ran into Lae’zel in the cage just after we wake up on the beach in the very beginning.

    I went by her and reloaded for reasons, but accidentally went a different way after that, forgot about it, & just realized she would be good to have as a Companion during combat.

    I’m about to kill the goblins, and I went back for her at her previous location but she’s no longer there. Did I lose her for good, or is there still a chance?

    Thanks everyone, I’m new to BG/D&D completely so apologies if this is a dumb n00b move, but I am one :)

    www.theguardian.com New Orleans archbishop ignored board findings on clerics accused of abuse

    Gregory Aymond promised ‘to be transparent’ – but a Guardian investigation found that he hid allegations, and an expert questions whether it was against Vatican policy

    A board which helps the Roman Catholic archbishop of New Orleans, Gregory Aymond, evaluate abuse allegations against priests and deacons in six cases found clergymen to be credibly accused only for Aymond to ignore the findings and conceal them from the public, a Guardian investigation has found.

    Lemmios is my favorite iOS Lemmy app so far, but I find that when I go to upvote a comment using the voting button next to the commenter’s username (top), I inadvertently collapse the comment.

    Would it be possible to have both voting buttons either on the right side like posts have, or at the bottom?

    I understand gestures are an option, it’s just a personal preference with the voting buttons. Old habits die hard :)

    And if this feature exists, I apologize for missing it. I have looked for it in the settings but did not see such an option. Thank you for such great work with Lemmios!
