I mean, I’m not about to leave Lemmy, this place scratches an itch that only old Reddit and Digg gave me. But competition for the steaming greedy shitpile that Reddit’s become is welcome to me, better to keep them on their toes after their awful anti-user antics.

Wtf are we even doing there? Even if we’re trying to sell out Ukraine, I don’t see much happening without Ukraine at the table. The motivators are going to be sticks and carrots. The best carrot I can see the US getting Ukraine is peace or ceasefire alongside the cessation of some of their land. But that ignores that Russia broached peace agreements twice in this mess. So it’s not possible to trust anything Russia offers (kudos on that 4D chess, Putin, you pathetic slobdog).

That leaves leaning on the rest of Europe and continuing the resistance as the only viable option. Unless we give them sticks, which would be insane and fully exile the US as a pariah state from the rest of the free world. It would kill trade and drop us into an instant depression. Which they might think they’re fine with, but that’s quite a shortcut to the guillotine.

Aww, probably Hannah. As much as I would want to be surly or jealous of someone else finding their person, I could use some positivity in my life.

We have acknowledged that the Selzer/Des Moines Register pre-election poll did not reflect the ultimate margin of President Trump’s Election Day victory in Iowa by releasing the poll’s full demographics, crosstabs, weighted and unweighted data, as well as a technical explanation from pollster Ann Selzer. We stand by our reporting on the matter and believe a lawsuit would be without merit.

They better stand by this. It only takes another news org or two to cave without pushing back with pressure before they can effectively silence anyone by threat alone.

Jesus, work on your social skills a little, watching you go from 0 to 100 over practically nothing is creepy

Is that color named “Susan Collins”??

Give them a nuke back. Them relinquishing theirs assuming good faith by the Russians is half the reason this mess started. If they get one back it makes a push for total control of Ukraine an existential risk for Russia.

Edit: Before someone points it out, yes I’m being wildly naive, let me dream about a good outcome a little.

Those tricks are actually used pretty frequently in modern graphics stacks, especially around things with fine edges like text. In those cases it’s called “subpixel anti-aliasing”.

That’s hilarious and somehow wholesome that everyone pitched in to get the separation

I mean, that’s the mechanism by which carbon is removed. It goes into tree, tree dies or gets cut down taking all the solidified carbon with it, new tree gets planted in its place to repeat the cycle. In fact, the fastest way to scrub carbon with the practice is to farm trees, assuming you do it sustainably.

But then you’d be missing out on the greats, like Party Cannon

Russia really has become “big North Korea”, sheesh

More proof that billionaires are treated like a special class that the law can’t touch. Cool.

Sly Cooper and Jak & Daxter are both criminally forgotten in this era of games

Fucking good. Put the squeeze on them, they’re nothing without their workers, and constantly manipulating their employees and the job market to keep them as wage slaves is abusive at best.

I’m in PA and a lot of parts are still pretty hot for Trump (lots of big signs, every conversation is an opportunity for them to talk about their undying devotion, etc.). That is NOT to say that it’s unwinnable, but we really need to put the pedal on to keep the pace, since the default answer here is leaning back toward Trump.

Edit: That said, we’re one of the most important swing states this cycle, so not surprised things are just more political in general.

I need to get off my ass and do the same, they deserve all the support in the world right now.

Don’t need to imagine for long.
