excellent article. thank you.

I torture it by pointing its webcam at the wall outlet and forcing it to watch its own pull-the-plug execution.

I will be among the first against the wall when the AI revolution comes.

They are doing everything possible to bait Harris into a mistake

super walz to the rescue. seems like he has played the VP attack dog role pretty smartly. loud enough to make headlines with reasonably pointed attacks, while being "clean" enough to deflect incoming.

that snark just snapped my head back.

mirror, mirror on the wall...

without addons to control internet crazy, that word "function" is doing some heavy lifting.

othering and intentionally broken immigration policy makes everyone shitty. and its easy to make things even worse when one party in the duopoly insists on making it a political football with no compromise.

I used to do this (and still despised the a-hole huckster), but then 2016 happened and we got a peek inside that rotting organ he calls a brain. no longer.

if the Democrats win, the aftermath of the election will bring forth a hoard of former Republicans with no home. do you want them courted by more right wing fascist fuckheads we know nothing about, or the right wing fascist fuckheads who, at least for now, decided full fasch was not their best option?

the Republican herd needs a soft landing to mitigate future issues. as bad as the Cheney's are, they still have cachet in some important conservative circles. in this fucked up moment, the price might be worth it.

ok, now thats just a slice of awesomeness! thank you, kind friend. will look for the show.

looking to slow right the F down? any of the family (meaning not primary islands) islands in the Bahamas, but particularly abaco, eleuthera, long island or andros. 100% totally different way of living than you are likely used to.

visited many times and wanting to go back before its all gone due to climate change.

edit: tagging @espentan@lemmy.world cuz I did a dumb and subcommented.

it be there! ;-)

awesome job!

peachy keen, friend. peachy keen.

nah, he's their token newser.

isnt what we are currently experiencing an unhealthy reaction to the that same propagandized society? hard to pump shit into peoples heads for decades and not get some sort of sociopathic, immune-like response. many of our fellow citizens really do want to see it all burn right now. everything has been calcified and these people are lashing out in, what I think is, the worst possible way.

in many respects the very thinking processes of our society have been perverted in service to the whims of the richest. I consider this a bit of a dumbing down of our civic intelligence, but... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

love you, friend... but I am not sure thats gonna hold when we start pointing loose nukes at everyone. the fall will not be easy.

important point taken. thank you.

I am not sure anything can kill that ego. :-/

ok,

Share of the population using safely managed sanitation facilities

• 884 million people in the world, approximately 1 in 8, do not have access to safe water

• 47% of diarrhea incidents can be reduced by hand-washing with soap at critical times
• 87% say they washed their hands after using public lavatories
• 77% actually wash their hands after using a public restroom
• 46% say they wash their hands for 15 seconds or less
• 15-20 seconds equals the amount of time recommended for hand-washing with soap and water

but, as you said, all of these figurative people can get right outta town.

plumbers through history have saved countless lives, whether you think so or not. I say they are in the top 5 all-time life saving professions.

edit: upvoted you cuz you responded :-)

if prescribed by a psychiatrist, certainly - but I hear NPD is untreatable difficult, but treatable.
