It’s definitely a stretch, but she’s not completely unqualified… I’m not saying she’s a good pick either, but she did at least serve on the board of education for Connecticut for about a year.

Mostly continuing the theme of Trump picking random ass people he knows and throwing them wherever it fits, but this isn’t likely to be the worst one.

It sounds like someone where the last thing he ate may have been shrooms.

(It’s Kamala if you don’t want to read it.)

I don’t care what anyone says about you, you’re awesome my friend.

At a relative level at least… They might still be…

You don’t want to tour nearly any company making food of any kind at a factory level. Things that make us sick really like food.

Aww, the AI almost figured out how to give the boat a real name. Look how hard it was trying.

Man, the arms on some of those people are nightmare inducing though.

You’re not wrong, but if we want companies to keep doing things for good PR, we need to reward them for it.

They’re basically giant badly trained dogs that happen to control every aspect of our lives.

I agree that lemmy shouldn’t take it on itself, but I do think deeper integration into other foss systems is not a bad plan. Being able to integrate a matrix instance directly with a lemmy instance would be fancy and I think exploring stuff like that further could be the key to finally getting us beyond just seeking parity with reddit.

I really really want to be on your side, Taco bell has gone crazy on the prices and I hate it.

But, on the other hand, it sounds like you haven’t even had the crispy cantina taco meal and that’s not a life I’d wish on anybody.

I know this won’t work for everyone, but I just quit playing games that don’t work or even from publishers that do shitty things and there’s still plenty of games out there. There’s a lot of shovelware out there, but there’s also a lot of good stuff out there.

Wasn’t that effectively the Libertarian motto for a bit? When they weren’t veering down some insane tangent that they all picked up on on that particular year?

The gambling odds have started to show a significantly better chance for Kamala winning than Biden now, it’s an interesting shift.

And, those odds aren’t odds that only take affect if she is made the nominee, there’s no prerequisites there, it’s generic odds of just Kamala running and winning the election period.

This makes me irrationally angry because whenever I hear this, putting the time it took to ask would have been enough time to just type up a few sentences in an email that would explain everything everyone needed to know and then we’ve also got it in an easily searchable format so we can reference it later if needed.

I may be a little bitter.

If your net worth is negative, in 9 years it’s only half as negative.

I think we’ve been operating on the false assumption that the Democratic partys primary goal is to win. I would wager that as far as campaign contributions go, it’s likely better for them financially if they barely lose. I feel like the past few presidential races have been the American populace trying to force them to win anyways when they obviously didn’t want to.

A lot of their decisions make a lot more sense in that context.

Not super popular, but i’ve been using Resilio Sync for years, it’s from what used to be the Bittorrent Foundation.

The UI has all the features I need but is still simple and I’ve been using it for years and have never had to spend any time troubleshooting it post-install. I’m not sure what that gets you over syncthing though.

The ‘But, everyone is a bit evil’ argument is such bullshit, the concern here is obviously the extent of the surveillance, but no one can say you’re entirely wrong because the definition of that is so broad.

It’s kind of technical, but there are comparisons on the report itself, even a fancy table, to other popular shopping apps and there are some legitimately troubling items. For anyone else, I’d recommend skipping direct to the source:

As others have said, prices should be mostly stable, especially for big names, but you still might see a few small devs who were like “Oh shit, its the summer sale, we should add a discount” halfway through.

I know it’s kinda hard to quantify and fireworks can be overpriced, but street value up to 10 million and 150,000 pounds puts that at around $67 a pound per fireworks. I know that’s also a weird metric to use for fireworks, but that feels pretty high.

You might be overestimating how much content that was. Streaming services try to maintain an illusion of neverending content but last I saw except for prime, the amount of content they offer has been trending down.

Those numbers are fairly accessible for an average person with 3 or 4 large hard drives.

It’s consistently pretty good for writing items with low technical importance and minimal need for accuracy.

I’ll never write a job description myself again and my need for getting with communications for mass correspondence is almost gone.
