  • How is this meant for THIS sub? I already have this same story in my feed 3 other times. But those 3 other posts are in news related subs. SOME overlap in content is to be expected as some subs content overlap.

    But THIS post, shouldn’t be one of them.

    BTW this message is not in any way meant to be a pro-ICE defending comment. Fuck ICE. They are criminals. They are American S.S.

    The point is there are places we SHOULD discuss this story. Put all your comments in those posts. Not here.



  • It took me 6 times to figure out what was being said here.

    This is like in 3rd grade, when we had a spelling assignment. The word was “Poison Ivy”.

    And she said this verbally. We would then have to write the spelling on paper.

    So when she said “Poison Ivy”, I raised my hand. This wasn’t an assignment with student participation. So when she called on me, I said “Mrs Brooks, do you mean Poison I-V-Y? Thats the one I had in my list.”

    She facepalmed. But I still maintain that’s on her for just giving a piece of paper with a list of words to memorize for a week, and expecting us to know how they’re pronounced. At 7 years old, I didn’t think Ivy was pronounced I-V. I thought it was more like “Ivv-E”. So I thought she just started spelling it, and left off Y. So either I’m being asked to spell Poison IV, which wasn’t on my list, or she just made a mistake by forgetting the Y.

    Not my fault a teacher never taught her students, and now a student sounds dumb after being taught by her. I was just getting clairification. Did she make a mistake? Or is my list the wrong one? No, I was just a dumb kid, being taught by lazy teachers.





  • Dude! You’re getting a AI bloated monstrosity dell!*

    –*Terms subject to change. Consumer has no rights. You own nothing. Operating system may insert AI against your will. Fuck you.

    This is what computers feel like these days. Remember when you just BOUGHT the hardware, AND the software? So there was a reasonable expectation that the products were to do what we wanted them to do.

    Now, somehow WE are the products. We own nothing. And it gets more restrictive every generation.

    Even Android is becoming more closed source. And it will soon be harder to avoid AI. Android is still a google product remember. And you KNOW google wants us all using AI.

    This was a big factor for me using linux for the past year, despite not knowing what I’m doing. Don’t know what I’ll do about cell phone though.






  • On Sept 10th 2001, if I came to you and pointed at the NYC skyline, and said “By tomorrow at noon, two of those skyscrappers won’t exist anymore”

    You would tell me I’m crazy. It takes months to plan a demolition. And how would it even happen? In the middle of the busiest city in the country? They would have to carefully dismantal it, bit by bit. It would take months! No chance that tomorrow, Sept 11th 2001, they’ll just demolish two huge buildings in one day.

    And then…

    My point is, things only follow that logic, if you expect people to follow the normal rules. When you’re dealing with a disaster situation, things can be destroyed violently and instantly.

    And trump is a walking talking disaster.
