Remember when JB said, "I blacked out. Did something important happen?" in borderlands.
Me either, but he did, and we're gonna get that joke again too.
I answered the question pretty straightforward since I thought it was a genuine question. Once I realized he's a troll I gave up on responding to him.
Likely because it wouldn't be reported to the government as thoroughly as hunting tags are. Politicians tend to be against policies that don't directly give them clout when policies exist that could.
Exactly what I mean. There is zero organizing going on for PSL in this area, so it doesn't feel nearly as important to push for a socialist vote compared to other issues, like ranked choice voting and cannabis legalization.
Tbh, I don't expect any culture that considers tattoos to be taboo to be cool with weed.
Yeah, she's been on my radar and I've heard some pretty good ideas and beliefs espoused by her and her running mate. Building leftist movements in a deep-red state is very much a "step lightly" action though, so I have worries that any overt socialist growth here will mean more attempted attacks on pride festivals by neo-nazis, and such. Hell, even mention of "antifa" brings out the crazies to roam the streets with rifles.
This is the #1 reason I have a hard time considering voting for Kamala in a non-swing state. We've got ranked choice voting in the ballot, so I'll definitely be voting, but idk if I'll cast a presidential vote or not.
I don't endorse her, so why should I vote like it?
I thought you were looking for an honest answer rather than an argument, but I guess that's what I should've expected from a PS fan.
Yup. I didn't have to buy a motherboard, ram, or CPU because I was able to upgrade my PS4 era PC. Most people don't build a PC from scratch unless they have to.
$25 for the blue yeti. I use it a few times a month for gaming with friends. Anything more would be a waste.
The 2 HDDs are for media storage. What's wrong with that?
8 gigs vram (6600 XT), 1tb m.2 ssd, 2x 3tb hdd, and a blue yeti mic. I've still yet to spend $700, excluding monitors (since ya gotta buy a TV for the PS5 anyways).
Edit: I gave my answer. Why does me saving money bother you so deeply?
I'm pretty sure this is how
Congrats on your first piece of OC content! 🎉
I appreciate you trying to think for yourself for once, but please, try, try, try again!
This is why I don't really consider the economics of the federation to be socialist. It's all some vague idealist futuristic economy that lacks any semblance of democracy by only having two representatives per planet, regardless of population size.
Nobody can hold the copyright unless it's deemed to be created by a human. Disney owns the copyright because under US law, corporations are also people, and their employees create the work for Disney.
In the US under federal law only a human being may own copyright over a piece of artwork. Even a monkey that takes its own picture can't legally own the picture, so neither can an AI. The only thing you can own is the access to the artwork.
Thems the pretty colors, but I ain't see no movin' pitchur!
(Gifs are such a pain to work with on Lemmy, 480p low bitrate is the only way I can get things to consistently work smoothly on-site. Yesterday's gif could've been 1080p 30 fps, but I could not get it to upload.)
Well then, looks like I got vaccinated at some point.
So AI is only harmful when a person instructs it to do so?
That sounds an awful lot like the "guns don't kill people, people kill people", argument.
While I think it's important to have some sort of media bias understanding, I dislike the bot being the first (and sometimes only) comment on a post. Maybe it should be reserved only for posts that are garnering attention, and has a definitive media bias answer for (the no results comments are just damn annoying to see).
It also has the knock-on effect of boosting the post higher in whichever sorting algorithm users are using. So it often feels artificially controlled whenever something has 100+ upvotes and less than 10 comments, knowing the first comment is always a bot. Like, would it be fair for me to have 10 bots that comment factual information of posts I personally like, just to boost their visibility?
"But I NEEEEEEEEED to play my games on 164x AA, ultra textures, unlimited render distance, no optimization, 900 fps (on a 60 fps 720p monitor) MOOOOOMMMM!!!"
That's how I hear every excuse for a recent Nvidia purchase.
There IS a full scale war going on. 31,000 confirmed dead Ukranian soldiers, and up to 120,000 dead Russian soldiers. We don't even have a good idea how many civilian deaths, but the total death toll could be as high as 500,000.
And no, before you start - Mutually Assured Destruction isn't "a full scale war". Its Annihilation of both sides, and has no precedent in the history of war.
Basically, if all I can read is a headline how can I consider it informative? A news headline has as much evidence as your average Tweet, and can be deeply incorrect through the use of clickbait.
I do use methods to get around paywalls, but knowing that some/most people won't, it seems counter-informative to solely use the clickbait headline to keep people informed.
I've been using tags on users who I've interacted with to help me realize if I've interacted with someone before. It would be nice to change the color from green to others, even if it's a prechosen color palette.

BOISE, Idaho (CBS2) — The Ada County Sheriff's Office reports that a 21-year-old Boise man caused quite a disturbance at a gym in Eagle after he intimidated two teens, knocked himself over with the front door, then broke a plate glass window with a large knife.
The incident occurred Sunday afternoon at the northeast shopping center of Eagle Rd. and Highway 44. A man identified by police as Jacob Roberts, allegedly was seen intimidating two teen boys while they were exercising in the gym. An adult woman put herself between the two teens and Roberts, telling him to leave them alone.
Reportedly the two teens and the adult woman barricaded themselves in a mat room using kettle bells to block the door. Witnesses told police that Roberts then became visibly more agitated by not being able to get in to the mat room. Roberts attempted to flee as bystanders called the police. He ran headlong into the front door, knocking himself backwards. Apparently frustrated by this, Roberts pulled out a large knife and used it to break a plate glass window, creating his own exit.
A large police response led to a brief manhunt, identifying and locating Roberts roughly 30-minutes later. As the deputies pulled Roberts from the patrol car to book him into the Ada County Jail, he attempted to run. Roberts reportedly attempted to bite one of the deputies during the ensuing scuffle. He now faces felony charges for malicious property damage and assault with the intent to commit serious injury, and a misdemeanor charge of resisting arrest. !

![Fire danger prompts Stage II fire restrictions across North Idaho](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/e35db60e-3757-4483-b463-7510c17a9ebb.jpeg?format=webp&thumbnail=256)
A joint news release was issued by agencies that manage lands in North Idaho
COEUR D’ALENE - Beginning at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 9, Stage II Fire Restrictions will be in effect on lands managed or administered by the US Forest Service, Idaho Panhandle National Forests, the Bureau of Land Management, the Coeur d’Alene Tribe, the Idaho Department of Lands, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Benewah, Bonner, Boundary, Kootenai, and Shoshone Counties.
This also includes National Forest System lands in Washington and Montana that are administered by the Idaho Panhandle National Forests. Restrictions will remain in effect until further notice.
Moderate to severe drought conditions coupled with persistent high temperatures have raised the fire danger rating to very high and extreme across northern Idaho. The local Coeur d’Alene dispatch area recently saw an increase to Preparedness Level 4 out of 5, and conditions nationally are Preparedness Level 3. This means multiple geographic areas are experiencing large wildfires, suppression resources are being carefully prioritized, and the majority of other firefighting personnel and equipment are committed to wildland fire incidents. These conditions have prompted Stage II fire restrictions to be implemented in accordance with the criteria established in the 2023 Idaho Fire Restrictions Plan for all lands within the Coeur d’Alene Dispatch area.
Under Stage II fire restrictions, the following acts are prohibited on the restricted private, tribal, state and federally managed or protected lands, roads, and trails:
-
Building, maintaining, attending, or using a fire, campfire, or stove fire.
-
Smoking, except within an enclosed vehicle or building, a designated recreation site or while stopped in an area at least three feet in diameter that is barren or cleared of all flammable materials. 3. Operating motorized vehicles off designated roads and trails in accordance with existing travel management plans for non-commercial purposes, including ATVs, UTVs, and pickups. 4. The following acts are prohibited from 1:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m.: (A patrol is required for one hour following cessation of all work as described in a, b, and c below.)
a) Operating a chainsaw or other equipment powered by an internal combustion engine for felling, bucking, skidding, processing, log loading and hauling, road building and woodcutting or any
other activity employing the use of an internal combustion engine or off-road activity associated with industrial operations or fire wood gathering.
b) Blasting, welding, or other activities that generate flame or flammable material.
c) Using an explosive.
The following are exemptions to the Stage II Fire Restrictions:
Persons with a written permit that specifically authorizes the otherwise prohibited act. Persons using a fire or stove fire fueled solely by liquid petroleum or LPG fuels. Such devices, including propane campfires, may be used only in an area cleared of flammable material. 3) Persons using a generator with an approved spark arrester on areas that are cleared of all flammable materials within three feet of the generator.
-
Log loading and hauling only from landings and existing roads.
-
Private landowners using charcoal (disposed of properly) or propane barbecues on their own lands.
-
Normal operations on crop lands.
-
Emergency repair of public utilities and railroads as per conditions in Stage II Exemptions for Public Utilities and Railroads.
-
Any federal, state, or local officer, or member of an organized rescue or firefighting force, in the performance of an official duty.
-
Persons conducting activities in those designated areas where the activity is specifically authorized by written posted notice.
-
All land within a city boundary (unless otherwise restricted).
With the extreme temperatures and drought the region is experiencing, fire managers are asking the public to be extra cautious when spending time outdoors. As a reminder, you should never use fireworks on state and private forestland and rangeland and on public lands, roads, and trails. Possession and/or use of fireworks is always prohibited on federal public lands.
