I’ve been hearing ads for AI writing code for companies, I bet that has something to do with this.

Have you heard of “sexy indifference”? A relative of mine mentioned it. It kind of makes sense. If you don’t seem desperate or greedy for a relationship, you’ll be more fun to be around and won’t care as much either, because you have your own thing going on.

The shots didn’t get anywhere near him, he is not a victim. Maybe all of the R’s can now go to golf clubs in solidarity with him. It would be way better than wearing a maxipad on their ears.

I think that’s an honest mistake. She was awarded the Women’s Grandmaster title and the International Master which is confusing unless you look at the standards. It’s arguably a world title holder? Maybe? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsa_Derakhshani

That’s a cute air biscuit.

I’m guessing you do subscribed as well. I’ve also found it kind of nice to be able to leave and get on with my day. Reddit used to suck me in.

Are you checking for hot, 6 hours and 12 hours? I think it defaults to active which does make it seem, ironically, less active.

Thanks for letting me know that Qwant is Bing. It’s hard as a typical person to find any info on search engines, so I appreciate the heads up.

I think it depends on what you disagree with. If one is promoting going after our neighbors, hunting them down and killing them? Yeah, defederate. If another is Meta trying to take over the federation. Yeah, I vote defederate. If one thinks Hawaiian pizza is a travesty and the other doesn’t, hold your horses.

I’ve been noticing that they’ve been getting worse and worse myself. I was recommenced Mojeek and Qwant, but I haven’t made the switch yet. I always forget to use them instead.

FFS Canada, don’t let them take your healthcare. Let the US serve as a warning. I don’t know how you save yours, but you’ve got a lot of smart people. Figure it out before your healthcare goes in the shitter like ours.

Working there? Sometimes there’s no choice. Buying anything there? Definitely a choice.

This is Chicago, they’re not exactly known for a light touch when it comes to the police. Still not cool.

Pacheco — a freelance journalist who has worked with the New York Times, PBS, and Forbes — was one of at least three credentialed journalists arrested amid protests on the second day of the Democratic National Convention. Pacheco, who was carrying photography equipment with media credentials hanging around the neck, identified as a journalist to officers and displayed a press pass. An officer responded by snatching away their credentials. Pacheco spent the next nine hours in police custody. Also arrested in the same march were photojournalists Sinna Nasseri and Olga Federova, who were released by early Wednesday morning, according to social-media posts. Nasseri, whose photography has been featured in the New York Times and the New Yorker, wrote on Instagram that he was arrested while “documenting the protest tonight from a public sidewalk.” He shared video of himself standing in handcuffs next to several officers with his camera still hanging around his neck.

Ahhh, I always forget about TikTok. I’ll go check. Thanks.

Anyone know where I could watch it? NBC ain’t giving it up.

Ty, I really like SJW, they’re pretty great here.

These are seasoned ex-redditors here, do you think trying to antagonize them is going to work? Move along.

They haven’t gone that far yet, but they’re on their way. I didn’t think they were like that in the beginning either, but they certainly were advertising themselves to be the best place to go in the beginning for some unknown reason. They now try and take over every community and/or shut down smaller ones. An admin was curating things, which isn’t a great sign. Granted, it was just an admin, but I’m not welcome there anymore. They act like reddit, so I think of them like reddit. That’s just my take, you’re totally welcome to disagree, and you obviously do. I didn’t see the value in spreading out in the fediverse, now I do.
