If Trump had decided to do his attack a month ago instead of abducting a leader of a failed petrol state, this would have been much more successful.

I honestly think a lot of this is not because of "tougher on crime" policies or more surveillance, but rather because of an increase in the standard of living across the board. Shoplifting and home invasion are minor crimes that most thieves only do because they see no other way to survive.

I was trying to figure out what those brown blotches were next to Sioux Falls, but then I saw those same blotches next to San Antonio and realized this was a picture of a physical piece of paper and those were the staples...

Would you like to shake the hands of the current one as well?

It might seem useful at first glance, but this really isn't something that needs AI. This sort of thing was easily done without AI beforehand and in fact worked better because it was deterministic and didn't require more power to run than was needed to make the beverage in the first place...

So kidnapping one wasn't enough for a first yellow cad?

Sorry, I should have been more specific: does it update on a fixed day of the week? I saw in the archive that all recent updates were on Thursday. Is that the usual day it updates, or is it a more irregular update schedule?

@davekellett.bsky.social I just caught up on the DRIVE archive and was wondering if you have an update schedule you try to stick to.

Also, no you won't have enough "own previous work" to serve as proper material for an AI. Goddamn DISNEY, one of the oldest film studios on Earth, did not have enough of their own material to train an AI with. Google tried to train an AI on every video on YouTube and it still failed.

The EU is already looking to renegotiate their impending trade agreement they haven't ratified yet. Looking forward to see the consequences.

For those of us who aren't constitutional lawyers: what exactly does the "Major Questions Doctrine" involve?

The weird thing is also that I only get the "sexual" mention on deck. If I check your post on the main site, it doesn't have a label, but mine does...

No, my own message to you was marked as non-sexual nudity. But your post on my feed, moderated by BlueSky Moderation Services, was marked as "sexual". Not sure what else I can say.

A picture of a BlueSky post in BlueSky's deck, with moderation text marking it as sexual. The post in question shows The Creation of Adam with a cat in the place of God, and the original author of the post overlayed on Adam.

Yes really.

BlueSky thinks this is a sexual post...

Thanks for clarifying this. I personally thought it felt disrespectful of 404 Media to repeat the doxxing in a public post like this, but if you deliberately asked them to publish your legal name because it helps you feel more in control over the situation, I'm not going to argue with that.

Is there something like this, but for sexual fantasies in general, rather than just focused on BDSM scenarios? The fact that I answered "not at all" on most if not all of the prompts probably indicates BDSM is not for me.

Man, they really do not want you to continue that dimension travel arc, do they? j/k, get better soon.

that interview currently has 1.4M views. That's insane. More views than yesterday's monologue. As popular as Kimmel taking the CQ, as popular as Taylor Swift's appearance. More views than the Christmas animation. the only thing with more views recently was Michelle Obama's extended interview.

The beautiful thing is it backfired SPECTACULARLY! The Talarico interview video on YouTube is the most viewed political guest segment in months. Not even Bernie Sanders 3 weeks ago had that many views. They tried to censor Democrats, but instead launched a new national figure.

Now imagine if he goes up on stage in Rome, Georgia, can't remember who he endorsed 13 days ago, and then endorses someone else with equal amounts of conviction. The MAGA confusion will be so damn delicious...

Not just Americans. Moderna has already said they're winding down vaccine development because they're not profitable without the US market. that's going to impact Europe and other countries outside the US as well. RFK is committing genocide against the west.

If your problem is that you "need a girl", you got way more serious problems than that...

Ever heard of a Siesta? I could definitely see this happening in a Spanish speaking country.

Sorry, should clarify: talking about Kobo Belgium here. It's available elsewhere, just not in Belgium.

I wish I could read this series, but for some reason, Kobo doesn't have the very first book in your Eric Carter series, and it feels silly starting with the second book...

One thing the Republicans are missing: Gerrymanders are a gamble that you are able to weaken your strong positions to strengthen your weak positions elsewhere. But if your positions turn out to not be as strong as you expect, you risk losing it all...

If I got a request like that, You'd bet your ass I'd go out of my way to make the most maliciously compliant version of my flyer that I possibly can. Like, full on glazing of the black community.

Something I wonder about this: if a lawyer were to in fact accidentally send a confidential communication to an unauthorized third party, does a disclaimer like that actually have any legal weight in case the recipient does in fact forward it to a third party?

Full English breakfast with scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, hash browns and two kinds of black pudding. Served with buttered toast, orange juice and caramel latte.

@preachgaming.bsky.social this is what I’m having for brunch the fourteenth, after my barber appointment.
