They were ok with the rape, and the illegal deportations, and the pedophilia, and the elimination of public services and healthcare, the removal of any and all environmental regulations, the killing of American citizens in the streets, the genocides abroad, etc..... But "OMG GAS PRICES WENT UP A DOLLAR!?!?!?" is what counts as a step to far for these types of people?????
In my eyes there is no redeeming what they were ok with. To little to late, they can all go get fucked.
That article says you can't import a byd unless its a subcompact that you license as a low-speed vehicle. Meaning it can't go over 35mph, so basically a golfcart.
Just trust in your own intuitions, and if something feels right, go with it. Experiment, try out different cloths or hairstyles, just have fun with it. If you decide you don't like something after giving it a try, then oh well, try something else. Just find what works for you and makes you happy.
Questioning your own gender is never transphobic, quite the opposite really.
Your friend is wrong, "seeming" like one gender or another to other people doesn't matter in the slightest. I'm a trans woman, I'm not overly feminine or butch either way, some people see me as male, some see me as female. It doesn't matter what their opinion is, the only ones that does is my opinion that I feel like and am a woman. I don't understand the feeling of being non-binary or genderless, but that doesn't mean it's not valid or real to the people that do.
Other trans/nonbinary people don't get a vote for what your gender is just because they figured theirs out before you, or if you fit their predefined notion of what arbitrary traits represent each gender. If you feel like you're somewhere in between genders then you are, if you feel like your neither then you are. Gender is made up, it's just a concept humans developed because we like to organize things into simple little boxes. Black or white, up or down, girl or boy. But reality is rarely ever that clear cut or simple. It's messy and subjective. So if you feel like presenting a certain way, then go for it, everyone else be damned.
I'm 37 and now back in college to finish up my degree. It's honestly depressing how badly AI usage has affected many of my classmates. I talk a lot with my professors as I'm close in age to many of them and from what I keep hearing over and over is that any online or homework assignments would have you believe that 95% of students have a perfect grasp of the materials. but as soon as they're in an environment without an internet connection everything falls apart.
I see it in person in my recitations, my physics class might be the worst. Kids get up to the board to to work a simple linear motion word problem and struggle to even make a list of all the variables. Yesterday I watched my professor try for 5+ min to get 2 different students to simply write the units next to the numbers they filed into an equation, they just could not understand what he was asking of them. Our first exam had over half of the class score below 40%.
I realize not all of this is attributable to AI use, but the amount of times I've heard students say "just ask chatgpt" is absurd. Several times I've overheard one of these exchanges and the replying students says something along the lines of they don't like to use AI or trust AI answers and then they get dogpiled by their peers in return. It's a serious problem, and one I don't have any easy answers to.
FB marketplace or a classifieds site is where you will find the best deals, it's the only reason I still have an account with meta. It's almost always a better deal for both parties buying and selling person to person. Most people will be more honest about the condition of the car than any used dealers and they will also make more selling it directly than trading in or selling to a dealer. Buyers also save by cutting out the middle men. I'm into cars as a hobby so I'm fairly constantly buying and selling them, marketplace is where I do almost all of my transactions ever since Craigslist died.
The video itself is fairly hilarious considering he posted it himself. I honestly thought it was an ai video made to make him look bad/troll him at first. From him stumbling over the blocks, to the babg like squeaks and grunts he makes while doing it, he comes off as soft as a wet dog turd.
There are a ton of different payloads that can be run on these, for everything from simple keylogging, to root access, to network backdoors. I've only recently gotten into pentesting but with something like this there's no real limit to the damage that could be done with only a few seconds of physical access.
My school requires 2in1 laptops with stylus support (and windows😖) for all engineering students. I picked up a lenovo think book 2in1 to meet the requirements and have been dualbooting manjaro on a seperate ssd as it has 2 m2 ports. I use manjaro because im used arch which I run on my gaming PC. My work laptop has had manjaro using kde plasma for a while now and I generally really like it.
When I loaded up the lenovo with manjaro/KDE it worked great as a standard laptop but whenever I tried to use the stylus or touch screen things started falling apart. Tracking was OK with the stylus but I couldn't get pressure or tilt sensing to work and the on screen keyboard was pretty terrible. I also couldn't get it to work properly with a few programs I need specifically for school. I spent about a week trying to get it all sorted but I was never able to get a configuration that worked consitintly and smoothly. After a fair bit of forum surfing the consensus I was able to glean was that KDE was behind the curve on touch/stylus support but gnome was supposedly better suited to it.
I've now been running GNOME for a couple weeks and the touch/stylus support does work much better but there are still a few hiccups. I had to install a different on screen keyboard, the one gnome comes with worked fine except for the backspace key refused to function which turns out to be a pretty big problem. My biggest complaints though are with how gnome functions in comparison to kde. The file explorer, console, text editors, menu customizations, and layouts are a lot more frustrating and clunky feeling to me. I've swapped most of the original stuff with KDE version wherever I could make them work. Overall its not too bad now, just different I guess. Personally I wont be using GNOME in the future if I can avoid it. Hopefully KDE comes up with functional touch/stylus support so I can switch back.
I've been forced to use gnome on my school laptop as I need tablet support and kde dropped the ball on that front. I hate it so much, but at least it works.
Benn Jordan's videos on flock cameras is really eye opening non how bad the surveillance state has gotten here in the US. Not just how ubiquitous they are but also how insecure and vulnerable to abuse the whole system is.
I agree, I think its a good thing that he's a democratic socialist, as I am also one. But there is a difference between a dem socialist and a social democrat. Mainly the whole capitalism thing.
Social democracy is a broad, centre-left[1] to left-wing[2] social, economic, and political ideology within the wider socialist movement[3] that supports political and economic democracy[4] and a gradualist, reformist, and democratic approach toward achieving social equality. In modern practice, social democracy has taken the form of a predominantly capitalist,[5] yet robust welfare state, with policies promoting social justice, market regulation, and a more equitable distribution of income.[5][6]
I don't get much hope from people like this.
