You can filter out bots as long as the account is correctly labeled. If it’s not, should probably just block. This is default Lemmy behavior.

Have they considered that a chain of reasoning can actually change the output? Because that is fed back into the input prompt. That’s great for math and logic problems, but I don’t think I’d trust the alignment checks.

That’s fucking insane? Rhetoric is out of control.

Worrying about keeping a roof over your family and keeping them fed is super fucking sane.

You can argue that it’s not the most important thing, and yeah let’s kick some fascists into the next life, but food and shelter are immediate needs. And what is fucking insane is attacking someone on your own side for having similar priorities but ranking them differently.

Even when the internet is on your side they are a bunch of fucking assholes about it.

Pearl Harbor was the real turning point. Also leadership wanted to support the allies but had to get the public on board. The tide started to turn with Hitler’s invasions of Austria, Czechoslovakia, and especially Poland, but Pearl Harbor was the crucible.

We need an external enemy to distract us from fighting each other and to achieve solidarity.

Once everyone is dead who lived through it, and everyone who grew up on their stories, history is effectively lost to everyone but historians. I’ve seen it happening in my own lifetime.

It’s not like we spent a lot of energy making sure our kids understand WW2 lore. It’s presumed irrelevant to their lives so it’s presented as “how we got here” not “this will happen to you.” Hell, we beat the Nazis, right? The subtle shit like hiring them into our countries or displacing an entire people to give (or restore, however you want to look at it but after 100 years I figure everyone is gone who has any kind of claim to the land and that’s that) Jews a homeland—that stuff barely gets a mention.

Point is, I don’t think it’s Americans alone, and I don’t think it’s this generation in particular. The far right is rising globally. We’ve all forgotten. America, as the “sole superpower” might be the worst case, but it’s happening everywhere. And we’re going to create generations of misery because we have to learn the lesson again.

Upon doing a bit of research, you’re probably right.

I wonder if they’ll realize Trump is doing to healthcare, diplomacy, the military, and social security what he’s doing to the economy.

Malt vinegar is the best condiment for fish and chips. Or sometimes just chips. Hell, ketchup is basically vinegar, tomato paste and sugar.

Balsamic is wonderful for salads, and if you’re trying to reduce calories/carbs it’s the clear choice for salad dressing.

White vinegar is for cleaning. I don’t know what you do with the rest, but I imagine make delicious foods.

Not the bukkake Musk needs, but the bukkake Musk deserves.

1. Went to Canada. No earthly idea why. Drove through London on our way to the Niagara Falls, then looped back around, saw hydroplane races in Syracuse, and stayed in the weirdest motel ever somewhere in Penn or Ohio because it was really cheap. This was the most WTF vacation I’ve ever been on. No idea what my parents had in mind. I literally only remember being on the car.
2. Went to Thailand for about ten days. Stopped in Laos for an afternoon and got a t-shirt and snake whisky. Almost set foot in Cambodia, but the border was closed so we got our passports stamped and that was all. Saw a bunch of monks on cell phone’s and smoking cigarettes. Saw so many freaking temples. Went to the bridge on the river Kwai. Ate some good food. Saw the red light district. Thought it would be sexy, but it was just depressing. Loved the people and the experience and want to go back some day. Also saw Tokyo through airport window.
3. Went to Mexico to get drunk and eat good food for a week at a resort. Got drunk and ate well for a week. Went to a xenote and swam.
4. Went to the Bahamas to get drunk on boat for a week. Twice. Got drunk for a week both times. Also snorkeled at some point and visited pigs on an island.
5. Headed to the Dominican Republic to get drunk in Punta Cana for a week in about ten days. Might do a topless cruise depending on how my wife feels. Jury is still out, but I have a feeling I’ll successfully get drunk for about a week.

Did these idiots think he wasn’t going to actually do it? Did they really think he was playing a game of chicken and capable of winning?

Certainly not for the folks who just think they are Republicans like it’s a racial identity or something. That’s some shit I can’t understand.

I hate Atlanta way more than Dulles. Dulles and Orlando I’ve been through enough to almost be able to navigate blindfolded, so maybe that’s why I rate both higher than they deserve, but Atlanta… Christ I hate that place. And the airport is shit, too.

Make America George’s Again

Uno? That sounds too DEI for Trump. I’d say more like 52-pickup.

“I ain’t never heard of no Canada. Looks Salvadoran to me.”

Again this isn’t about me or the car registration process, it’s about the difficulty of simply walking into the DMV when an appointment is unreasonably far away. What I might’ve done differently in my circumstance has no bearing.

I’m behind SEVEN proxies!

I didn’t know that was a thing. Looks like it’s a misdemeanor here to be driving without your license physically on you, but I’ll assume that will probably get updated at some point. Probably after I can’t drive any longer…
