‘A 1-year-old could get an abortion under this’ bill: far-right GOP lawmaker
  • In other words, this asshat thinks that 1-year-olds should be forced to carry a pregnancy to term.

  • Biden's memory is 'hazy' and 'poor,' says a special counsel's report raising questions about his age
  • Calling people fascists just because they are to the left of you does not make sense.

    Correct. And I didn't say that. I chose my words carefully and I meant them.

    This is why I pointed out that you have not understood the meaning of what I said.

    I still sincerely hope you learn how the US political system functions so that you can understand the outcome of your choices.

  • Biden's memory is 'hazy' and 'poor,' says a special counsel's report raising questions about his age
  • You're assuming -- incorrectly -- a whole lot about me that I never said.

    You also didn't understand the meaning behind why I said you've chosen to support the fascists side.

    I'm not here to start fights with internet strangers so I'm not going to poke you further. Let's just both do our best to improve and educate ourselves. Good luck to you. I hope you can figure out what I meant.

  • Genocide Joe

    Killary Clinton

    I do not vote for the duopoly.

    Spoken like a true MAGA believer, or at least such a useful idiot that the difference is indistinguishable.

    You may not "vote for the duopoly" but you've clearly chosen to support the fascist side of it.

    I sincerely hope you learn how the US political system works before the election so that you can understand what the outcome of your actions will be.

  • Biden's memory is 'hazy' and 'poor,' says a special counsel's report raising questions about his age
  • I would suggest to compare them both when they talk or when they are in the public.

    It's like you've never watched a video of Trump speaking. You could go to Youtube right now and do that, if you weren't so busy bending over backwards to defend Trump.

    You definitely win the most dishonest argument of the day award.

  • Biden's memory is 'hazy' and 'poor,' says a special counsel's report raising questions about his age
  • “He did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died.”

    This one just pisses me off. It's framed so dishonestly.

    I can recall extremely specific things about when people I know died. What the weather was, what I was wearing, what video game I was playing when I heard the news, and so on. But I couldn't necessarily pull the right year out of my brain without checking. Or necessarily even the date for some people.

    I promise that Biden remembers the death of his son in whatever specific way is meaningful to him. It might not be "on this day/month/year." It might be "on a Tuesday" or might be "a cold snowy day when I was baking bread." I have no idea. But this just isn't how memory works, and it's hurtful, evil even, to print something that dishonest. It boils my blood to read such dishonest reporting.

  • McDonald's is promising 'attention to affordability' after the price of Big Mac meals hits $18
  • The Big Mac set in Japan is ¥750 right now.

    And Burger King is even cheaper.

    It baffles my mind that people would pay $18 USD for that shit. I visited the US last year and while prices in general had definitely gone up since the last time I was there, there is absolutely no justification to pay $18 for McDonald's. It's crazy.

  • Gina Carano suing Disney and Lucasfilm over Mandalorian firing with help from Elon Musk
  • Crybaby fascist Republicans: "Cake shops shouldn't have to do business with people they don't like!!!"

    Also crybaby fascist Republicans: "Disney should have to do business with me no matter what I say or do!!!"

    I can't wait to see Disney counter-sue these fuckers for this ridiculousness.

  • El Salvador’s ‘cool dictator’ boasts country would be ‘a one-party system’ after election win
  • The fuck are you talking about?

    You're replying to things I didn't say. Are you hearing voices or something?

    Try again. Do better.

  • El Salvador’s ‘cool dictator’ boasts country would be ‘a one-party system’ after election win
  • What about when people vote against their own interests?

    They have the right to do so.

    What about when the majority suppresses minorities?

    That is a bad thing. But talk about a dictatorship?? That's one person suppressing everybody else.

  • El Salvador’s ‘cool dictator’ boasts country would be ‘a one-party system’ after election win
  • Dictatorships are not intrinsically bad.

    You can have good dictators, even if they are rare.

    Hard disagree there.

    But it really depends on what you value as good and bad.

    For instance, if you think that people have an inherent right to have a say in how they are governed, then a dictatorship can never be good because it infringes on that right in the most serious of ways.

    If you think a stable and sustainable system of government that will last beyond the life of a few leaders is important, then dictatorship is not a good system, because one good dictator creates no guarantee that the next dictator will be good, and establishing a system of dictatorship affords a bad dictator that much more power to ruin lives.

  • The Right-Wing Media Takeover Is Destroying America
  • Dems and Republicans are identical parties on economic policy (note I said economic, not all policies).

    Patently untrue.

    I mean, I get what you're trying to say. That both parties serve the interests of the rich few over the majority. But it's just false that they are identical parties on economic policy.

  • Republican hits Clarence Thomas with. lawsuit over his taxes
  • Isn't this Castro the same guy who keeps suing to block Trump from getting on the ballot? He's nothing but a clown doing this for attention. These aren't serious lawsuits, and if anything they end up hurting the cause more than anything, by making a mockery of the situation and making it harder for legitimate complaints to get the attention they deserve.

  • People are worried that AI will take everyone’s jobs. We’ve been here before.
  • There’s no new jobs for horses after the combustion engine was invented to do physical labor

    Bingo. And this time we're the horses.

  • People are worried that AI will take everyone’s jobs. We’ve been here before.
  • I doubt that stores will only have one employee

    It's already here, my dude. Not every store, but some are doing this now. It's just a question of how fast it will spread.

  • People are worried that AI will take everyone’s jobs. We’ve been here before.
  • IT guy here, I am not that worried about AI

    That's pretty much because you're an IT guy. You're in an industry that AI won't replace any time soon.

    If you were a cashier, or a stock clerk, or a busboy, you should be terrified by AI. The speed at which those jobs are already vanishing is astounding. The other day I was at a restaurant, and I never interacted with a human. The ordering was done by touch panel at my table, the food was delivered to the table by a robot and I paid at an automated terminal. I don't know how many staff were on duty but it had to be a fraction of what it would have been a decade ago. I bought clothes last week and there was one employee in the store, overseeing the self-checkout lanes (but really just sitting idly by in case anyone had issues). I read an article yesterday about how robots are now being distributed to convenience stores that can clean, stock, and reorder items, so these shops will pretty soon have only one employee in them.

    The gimmicky shit that your browser AI and chatbots can do is nothing compared to how this is already revolutionizing the world.

  • Nancy Pelosi asks pro-Palestinian protesters to ‘go back to China’ in video
  • Yikes. I don't even know where to begin to respond to such a mad, confused tirade.
    Just that I hope you get whatever help you need and that you feel better soon.

  • Nancy Pelosi asks pro-Palestinian protesters to ‘go back to China’ in video
  • Maybe you can borrow the history book when they're done with it.

  • Looking for help setting up an alternative to DuckDNS

    Hi all.

    I've got an old server PC that I use as a home server. Since my IP address sometimes changes due to my internet provider, I've been using DuckDNS and this DuckDNS crontab to keep the IP address up to date. But I've been having issues with DuckDNS not working reliably lately, and I thought that since I have a couple of domain names that I'm not using, I might try using one of those instead.

    Problem is, I don't know where to start, either to get the domain pointing to my IP address, or to keep it updated when my provider changes my IP address.

    Does anyone know of a guide that can walk me through this?

    Why is kbin so full of empty stuff?

    I'm not asking to be snarky or anything... I'm subbed to plenty of magazines that I enjoy reading.

    It's just that the front page has the "random magazines" section, and the top bar is full of a seemingly random list of unrelated magazines... and 99% of what shows up in these two places is just empty. They seem like magazines that were made as placeholders and have been sitting empty for 6 months.

    These two spots seem like prime real estate that should be filled with useful subs; or at least that magazines under a certain threshold ought to be filtered out of these locations to keep them relevant.

    Or am I missing something?
