The last temptation of Donald Trump: How he lured evangelicals to follow Satan
  • If on the other side of this we cannot quell christofascism/religious nationalism by telling the story of how this evil pos lead religion to follow him like a wolf in sheep's clothing, then I fear the world will just keep spinning in the same circles it always does.

    Who are the good guys in the Israel/Palestine conflict?
  • The good guys are the citizens who want none of this.

    The bad guys are the citizens who want all of this, and the military personal behind the weapons, and the generals calling the shots.

    Same as it ever was.

    Many TV stations put a banner ad in the picture these days
  • That’s actually called a “bug”—not the software error kind, though. In sports broadcasts, we get the classic “score bug,” always been there, usually small and tucked in a corner to keep things low-key. But what you’re seeing here, this whole bottom-of-the-screen takeover, is way more like those old-school news channel bugs from back in the ‘90s or early 2000s. You know, the ones that would stretch across the screen with stock prices, news updates, whatever they wanted to throw at you, right underneath the main action. It’s more intrusive for sure, but not anything wild—it’s actually been around for decades.

    Is there as much enthusiasm for Trump online today as eight years ago?
  • I dont know I think the crowds have been mostly siloed away from each other.

    Try going on truth social, if you dare.

    But who knows how much of that is bot traffic and LLMs.

    🤷‍♂️

    Manhunt in Berlin after bag with explosives abandoned at train station
  • Because I posted a fun reasonable nonsense and y'all keep downviting and responding.

    There are better ways to disagree with reasonable discourse.

    Manhunt in Berlin after bag with explosives abandoned at train station
  • I agree that controlled detonations can be the safest route, especially for highly unstable materials where any disturbance could trigger them. I’d understood, though, (again, not an expert), that in many cases... especially if no immediate threat to people is present... technicians might start with robots to examine the material remotely or potentially neutralize it without detonation, if safe.

    And, from my non-expert opinion, some explosive materials are sensitive enough to warrant a controlled detonation right away, but it seems there are far, far more often initial remote investigations before they make that call, to avoid unnecessary detonations. It’s always fascinating to see how much science goes into evaluating safety protocols! Or doesn't, in this case.

    Women are already sexy, but if they turn out in historic levels to destroy Trump they will somehow become even sexier
  • Idk what it is about masculinity that loves submissive women but tbh to me as a dude whose pretty switch it's a weird red flag.

    Like a teenager wanting to be a cop.

    It is so fucking hot when a girl grabs my junk when I didn't expect it (when we're an item and it's clearly consensual). Or something.

    Idk.

    Maybe I'm queer 🕺

    Police say they can tell if you are too high to drive. Critics call it ‘utter nonsense’
  • If there was a way to determine...

    "Are you so high that reality frames are kind of strobey?"

    That's the real point where THC is an issue with motor skills.

    But ititerally doesn't happen to regular users. So it's... Amorphous

  • I'm approaching 40. I've been all over the internet my whole life. Mostly a metal head. I love me my prog rock. I love my folk, and a little indie here and there.

    I won't give away too much, but if you know where I know this music from, give me a shout. I'm sure some of y'all are out tofu aware out there.

    Pete Davis never got the fame he deserves in this genre. Maybe Foss platforms can give a hum le ho ie a signal boost. This is his most popular track with a band from cages ago, but peep his shit. He deserves it.

    The bottom of the page there is a countdown that will expire at midnight Eastern standard Time tonight.

    This company claims to be in Boston. They've received federal grants. I've done a small amount of digging, but it would be entirely within valves resources to set up such a company. They have a LinkedIn, but it doesn't really seem like anyone really works there? It seems like a viral marketing campaign.

    There was a Reddit thread. A while back. Some people noticed classes in the HTML that referenced other half-lifey things. But, some people in that thread shut it down as nothing out of the ordinary.

    Then, there have been recent leaks with regard to a new game being developed. Someone found a resume suggesting that a person had done voice-over work for an unreleased project with Valve in 2023.

    There was also a leak of some files with .hlx file types, and I guess prior to the half-life alyx release some .hla files leaked.

    In the .hlx file leak, I guess there was found references to things like the EV suit.

    Here's a YouTube video that touches on all of this.

    Acceptable range of answers:

    "I mix mustard with mayo"

    to

    "I emulsify a blend of herbs and mustard seeds and chilis in clarified butter to make and herbaceous fatty hot spread"

    Bonus: what's it best on?

    Legend has it, Eyedea wrote these lyrics when he was 14 years old. What the actual fuck.

    This is an appreciation thread. All 4 games are iconic to me. Way underrated.

    To me, midnight club is everything need for speed wanted to be. Need for speed had a few hits and many misses. Midnight club was 100% hits. And they aged incredibly. They're still fun as hell.

    If you never played and you dig arcade racing games, go play. It's an open city racing game. Variety of racing types, endless challenges, and really great mechanicsi just wish it was as.pophlar as it deserves to be.

    Anyone else getting worse and worse service with chat gpt?

    I am getting repetitive incorrect and lazy answers and then rate limited. Idk what I'm even paying for at this point. It's happened the last 5 times I've used it over the last week or so.

    Am I alone?

    Im on a galaxy s22+. This started happening the same time the upvotes downvote buttons started to glitch in the UI which I have also posted about.

    This issue is more annoying. When I am mid response, I'll often leave the app to get more accurate info in what I'm trying to say. When I come back to Lemmy, it's all black. Nothing. But my button presses are still registering.

    If I go to the app switcher (bottom left android button) thing, and reselect Lemmy, it fixes and the display returns.

    But if I react by pressing the back button, I lose my response, I lose the post I was responding to, I sometimes can't even relocate the thread I was in easily.

    I need to hit the upvotes and downvote buttons twice on the main page.

    It will flash it's color as I press on press 1, but then quickly revert. On second press, it behaves normally.

    This guy was something special. Not too many prodigies can improv like Tom Brier. Someone posted Nyan cat the other day and it reminded me of the incredible body of his work.

    This guys relative made this YouTube channel when he realized Tom could play anything and turn it into a full length song ad libertum, AND that he was incredibly out of touch with pop culture. Most of the time he is completely unfamiliar with the song being presented to him. You can tell how much he enjoyed this song by his enthusiastic laugh at the end 😊

    Guy sadly was in a bad car accident in 2016, and can no longer play. These videos just make me cry now, but God damn does this mean deserve keep being found and revered.

    Right now there are three feeds available to me, that, as far as I can tell, I have minimal control over.

    It'd be rad if there was a way to add feeds, and for each feed, be able to manually select communities I'd like to see.

    This would be great for news, porn, sports, pornography, adult content, and so much more.

    Last week we had a great thread about metal without growls. In reading suggestions, and conjuring up some of my own, I re-realized a bunch of stuff.

    I wanna see your top 3 metal deep cuts.

    What do I mean by deep cut? I mean the formative shit. The stuff you found and loved along the way but lost track of, that when you revisit you go "fuck what happened to these guys?" The ones that helped guide you but fell off the face of the earth (or just your radar).

    Right now if I block a user, it can disconnect my user within the app from portions of my user presence.

    i.e. if I respond to a user in good faith, they respond in bad faith, I block them, and I want to revisit my good faith response in context, I am unable to do so via my profile. If the person I block is the top level comment, I am unable to view any content created within that comment tree because the top level comment is blocked.

    I bring this up as Lemmy.world defederates from hexbear, and it has felt like there might be some brigading going on in relation to that.

    This might be intentional, or not. Just voicing an opinion that I wish blocking a user would just make all of that users posts show as [blocked] and their username show as [blocked], with an option to temporarily display the blocked content, but still be unable to interact without physically unblocking them. If the "block" was more cosmetic and less functional, it wouldn't disconnect existing functionality (like trying to view my own posts in context).

    I can only see a very small portion of my inbox when I go to "View All". The oldest reply I'm able to see is 23 hrs old. I've been receiving replies for about a month.

    I can't seem to see posts that are below 0 points.

    If I respond to a person, and their post gets downvoted, mine also becomes contextually unviewable.

    Same seems to happen if I respond to someone and they delete their post.

    Is this a connect feature? Where can I change this? I don't want posts to be hidden unless I hide it manually. I always want to be able to revisit my posts in the threads they were posted in.

    From the front page/local/all, the reply button allows me to reply to the thread but shows none of the current replies. This will be a problem if we pick up steam; humans aren't that creative. The number of times people will give the same reply will be higher because of this.

    Also, it is this unclear where to click to access the replies? Am I alone here? I touch slightly to the left of the reply button to access the comment sections, but it is finicky.

    Touch a little higher and you get the user, or the community.

    These links/buttons need to be better separated, and more clear for a better UX. It's often a lot of clicking back and forth to get where I intended to go.
