Small Alabama Town Wins Lawsuit Allowing Residents To Vote For First Time In Decades
  • Why not Federal prison? NOTHING they did was legal and at least the mayor (sic) and city council knew full well they were subverting the Democratic principles of the US.

    No fine, no probation. Prison for these manipulative shits

  • MAGA panics before Donald Trump's first debate with Biden
  • They should only get to wear underpants - tidy whiteys! Nothing bulky or absorbent!

    Trump should have to wear an orange jumpsuit with a serial number on the left breast and "INMATE" stamped clearly on the back.

  • What industry secret are you aware of that most people aren't?
  • I'm on a game, Whiteout Survival, you've probably never heard of it. I haven't spent a penny, but I was curious about how much one obscure "upgrade" cost. Mind you, there are hundreds of purchases in the game.

    It was $100 US, and it said 29,000 had been sold... in the last WEEK!

    2.9 million dollars a week for NOTHING. And that's just that one obscure item, far from their biggest seller.

    And that's just in one game you've never heard of.

  • Good = Boring = No Corporate News Story
  • What are you trying to accomplish? Silence any criticism of Biden?

    Do you really think that if everybody would just NOT TALK BAD about Biden he would get elected?

    The Democrats had a wide open door here to inspire real change against the weakest candidate the Republicans have ever put up. TWICE. But instead of running somebody INSPIRING what did they do? They ran somebody who's just NOT AS BAD as the Republican candidate.

    In 2018 when AOC surprised everyone by winning her seat and Democratic socialism made a big splash and there were so much excitement, what did the established Democratic party do? They squashed that shit.

    I don't care about Biden, nobody does. I care about Democratic Socialism, and the Democrats don't.

  • Wouldn't it be funny if there ended up being a plastic-based life form and they wondered how they came to be...

    ...and they COULD NOT think of a natural process that could produce plastics in the environment in the amounts required to produce life?

    Their science would never dream of how it happened.

    Soap makes water wetter. Kind of. It reduces the surface tension, allowing it to spread out and penetrate better. Making it clean better. So could we produce a surface tension-free water?

    What about another liquid? Is there a "perfect" cleaner, something that spreads and penetrates like nothing else?

    Very interested in the answer.

    Simple question: Are you a nice person?

    Sure, "nice" needs some definition.

    But that's your call. I'm asking you if you are a nice person.

    Embarking on a complete reading of Stephen King's novels. Just reading Carrie now. Wondering if when I get to The Stand I should read the original or the updated/revised.

    I understand that the newer version has a different ending and some new characters and scenes that weren't in the original. But the original is what got all the accolades and was considered his best book.

    Which way should I go?

    I've got this idea baking because I saw a guy post that it's been as many year from 1971 to 2024 as it was from 1971 to 1918. How do the global wars compare in the two periods?

    It occurs to me that this last 1/2 century or so has been globally pretty peaceful. And I wondered if it might even be one of the MOST peaceful 50 years we've had.

    I'm inclined to imagine that the Cold War might have kept a lid on larger military aspirations. What do you think, am I deluded?

    Python. I heard it could automate my world. I started to learn how to use it. Today I tried a shortcut. AI.

    I know I know. I wanted to import data from a web page - title and publishing dates from Stephen King books. I wanted to update my caliber library with the correct metadata from the online source.

    I tried three different AI's. Claude. Pi. And ChatGPT. I've spent all day copying and pasting error messages copying pasting new scripts running scripts copying and pasting error messages etc etc etc.

    I could have gone line by line through my caliber library manually in much less time than I have spent doing this.

    There's no question the AI knows how to program in Python better than I do. What hope do I have of ever reducing my workload significantly using Python?

    Just got done at the doctor, over explaining everything to the point of them tuning out. I feel like such a loser right now.

    Why can't I just be normal. Why do I have to be so zoned in. Why does my attention never go beyond my own skin.

    A mobile game commercial with a ridiculous number of stars in it and great production value. How much money do these games make, or how cheap is it to get these stars?

    If it's cheap to get stars, I'm definitely having Dolph Lundgren at my next birthday party. Dude doesn't have to do anything, just hang out.

    Can we try something? Upvote the best captain! Not necessarily the one you liked the best.

    I have made a reply with each Captain's name. This is not a popularity contest. This is a Leadership contest. Who is/was the best captain?

    Upvote your choice(s). Comment on your choices if you like, explaining your rational... or don't comment if you don't like.

    PLEASE, do not comment negatively on any captain. Let the love flow for these captains. Positivity please.

    Lastly, if you know a captain I missed and you want to add them, feel free! There are a lot I didn't include because I just tried to hit the major franchises, but there are certainly some worth mentioning.

    P.S. I'm not a student of Trek or even that smart, just a fan trying something, so if I screw it up please forgive.

    Just catching up now, but apparently Skibidi Toilet is the source material for most of Generation A's cultural milieu.

    Anybody got any thoughts? I'm planning a watch of the entire series and a deep dive into the offshoots.

    EDIT: This one is not the original producer's page, but it's laid out a lot more easy to follow. Moves from 1 through to the end.

    An Old but Timely Reminder from Kid President

    It's so relevant.

    So many of my cringe moments growing up were when I responded inappropriately to social situations and got laughed at. I felt so alone growing up.

    The 60s and 70s (for me) had no awareness of my problems. Only now am I discovering that I did what I could, but I wasn't equipped to deal with people well.

    It's too late for me, but I'm glad kids today have more resources, although the problems are just as hard to navigate.

    God bless you all.
