She turned me into a newt!

It just seems strange because I don't think that many people are on the fence. Perhaps I'm crazy, but I feel most people know exactly who they're voting for already. Makes me wonder how valid this cross-section was that was used as the sample set. If it accurately represents the US, including undecided voters, then... 😮

I can't deal with this. It has to stop.

I just watched the footage and once again I'm blown away by the callous disregard for life. What the AF is wrong with people! 🤬

At this point, I think cops simply need to be disarmed. Period. Very few specialized cops should be armed in special circumstances. Outside that, cops need to just rely on their f-cking "de-escalation" skills alone. If they're scared, then they can call it in and get support. No more f-cking drawing weapons against unarmed civilians though. We can revisit this if and when too many cops are dying from all the many scary things they constantly need to draw their weapons for. We will then address their concerns with the same level of effort that civilian deaths are being accounted for.

The end.

Take the f-cking guns away!

Okay. Now the end.

🤬

It's terrible how companies like this can do anything they want with impunity.

This tool seemed so beneficial.

[-] GlassHalfHopeful@lemmy.ca 13 points 3 months ago

Agreed. I don't think it will go anywhere right now, but until politicians actually try to push this, it will never gain traction. With the number of voters that support it though, I'd like to think this can eventually be a winner for politicians...

Gotta be honest, I'm normally sleepy at that time as well. Late is late.

What a train wreck everything's become.

[-] GlassHalfHopeful@lemmy.ca 13 points 5 months ago

Who lost it? I bet they feel pretty silly now.

I've no skin in the game related to this device or software. I simply don't care. However, in terms of an AI assistant, I am curious if there is anything on the market, including this ~APK~ device, that is worth using. For someone who is privacy centric, advert avoidant, and security focused... does (or even can) such an app/tool exist?

This is not a logistics problem; it is a political problem. Rather than look to the US military to build a work-around, the US should insist on immediate humanitarian access using the roads and entry points that already exist.

Exactly. The pier is unnecessary. As an additional supplement, sure. But as the primary means to addresses the crisis... this is a poor solution.

If the plight of Gazan civilians mattered to the US government, then this is not the way. There's much more direct and timely solutions that are intentionally being bypassed.

Perhaps we use search engines for different purposes... 🤔

I don't use Google, but I definitely use my preferred search engine numerous times daily.

Yeah, this is most probably true.

Honestly though, I don't even know what most of the generic domains are that were created. It's still deeply ingrained in me that any serious website should be using .com, .net, or .org. But... the amount of domains that were purchased just for the purpose of resale at an astronomical value has made so many of those unreachable.

There are some dot-coms that I have wanted for years which have been sitting stagnantly for more than two decades. I'd love to buy them, but there's no way I'd pay the asking price. At least generic TLDs break that stalemate for a lot of folks.
