And just when I thought my state couldn't get much worse, we're wasting time and taxpayer money for witch hunts.

He threatened to kill her after the cops said they had to leave. The victim told the cops that the perpetrator just threatened her. The perpetrator then told the cops to fuck off and they just did.

Don't forget that no one wants to work anymore and all of the "completely necessary" layoffs this year.

ensuring everyone gets quality housing over your ideology.

And yet here you are celebrating poor people getting kicked out of their homes.

Same here. I also remember Channing Tatum's character getting dunked on for driving a muscle car lol

I'm on Lemmy World and I can see it too.

I'm one of 5 people who have premium (I use YouTube Music) and they're still slowing down videos for me. Also maybe it's in my head, but I think the Google search has been taking longer too. I've noticed some extra loading time that doesn't show up in Microsoft edge, or if I use duckduckgo/bing from Firefox.

Yes because most landlords are regularly getting their homes destroyed and only kick out people who destroy their homes. They would never kick people out to hike rent prices. And it's not like 9% of homes in America are just sitting vacant, right?

Okay but when's the last time you had 17 factors in a recreation in opposition to the Milwaukee Bucks, hmm?

You're acting like rent grifting is some widespread problem. A vast majority of tenants aren't destroying where they live and taking advantage of their landlords. In reality eviction moratorium was put in place so landlords couldn't hike the cost of rent during the pandemic and that's how most tenants are using it. We're in a rolling recession and a lot of people are going to lose their homes because of this.

Somebody needs to teach kids about actual drug safety. Abstinence from drugs is a shitty program that doesn't work and often, the speakers just lie. Opipids are horrible enough that you don't have to make up lies about them. When kids find out they lied about weed, they start to wonder what else they were lied to about. I can understand 14 year olds being dumb, but people in their 20s should know better than to be buying opioids on Snapchat and Telegram.

Also, I don't see a way how Snapchat can possibly regulate this. Just like with Craigslist, criminals will use emoji and code words to sell drugs and get through language filters.

People are entitled because they don't want to spend thousands of dollars on components only for them to be outdated within a fraction of the lifecycle of a console?

How about all the people that have the minimum or recommended specs and still can't run the game without constant stuttering? I meet the recommended specs and I'm playing on low everything with upscaling turned on and my game turns into a laggy mess and runs at 15fps if I have the gall to use the pause menu in a populated area. I shouldn't have to save and reload the game just to get it to run smoothly.

Bethesda either lied about the minimum/recommended requirements or they lied about optimization. Let's not forget about their history of janky PC releases, dating back to Oblivion, which was 6 games and 17 versions of Skyrim ago.

Yeah and depending on how you use it, it can come off as offensive. For a good comparison look at the language surrounding race. "Black people" is a perfectly okay phrase to use. However, saying "the blacks" makes people feel offended and it feels degrading.

All you're doing is switching it from an adjective to a noun, but it provides a significant change to how it sounds/feels.

Remember when Biden said no new *fracking on federal land? Then the Department of Interior, headed by his appointees, approved 1000 more drilling requests in the first year than Trump?

Yeah math is blue for me. Science is green. I would say English is red and history or geography is yellow.

Doubt it's Duchovny. Bojack was on a Full House style family sitcom, nothing like X Files or Red Shoe Diaries.

Second for Etsy, that's where I got both of my wife's rings and she loves them.

Referring to women as female, especially in the same breath as saying men, is impersonal and cold feeling.

They do feel more like specimen terms because it's really only used in the context of academic material or government forms. Yeah words have their meaning, but you also have to look at the context of how it's used.

And on top of that it's still a weird and clunky title. You either say male and female, which does feel weird and impersonal, or you say man and woman. Mixing them like that does feel strange. For example, you wouldn't say felines and dogs, you'd say cats and dogs. You wouldn't say interior and outside, you'd say inside and outside or interior and exterior.

How would that even make sense? They're still getting their beans from the same source and preparing drinks in the exact same way.

I had no idea it was a problem on Radeon GPUs. I saw a few people complaining about not seeing the stars, but I didn't have a clue what they were talking about since it was always fine for my Nvidia card.

I like Tom Waits' version of Bella Ciao - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ga0Z41hfl8w

Literally posted today

Literally none of that is true? So you're saying a vast majority of tenants are destroying homes? That's delusional lol

And there's another one. A rolling recession is not the same thing as a recession.

It all comes in frozen solid, so their food isn't very good.

They look like ads for Sims expansions.

Dark Gary knows. You can just tell.

They're complaining about a photo gallery all the way at the bottom of the page. It comes after the content tags and author info.

Well one is a forum with a little mouse at the top and the other one is a website with official logos, branding, a shop, and news.

You're not gonna get recommended startrek.website unless you're specifically looking for it or a star trek lemmy instance in general.

Well that's definitely encouraging. I'm from a small town (my graduating class was less than 60 people), but I haven't heard about any book bans here either.

Carbon Monoxide poisoning will make you weak, dizzy, cause headaches, nausea, a whole slew of symptoms. It's incredibly unlikely that the only symptom would be aural hallucinations while listening to white noise.

Sure, but people bring it up every time someone hallucinates or thinks they heard something that wasn't there. Everyone should have a CO detector, absolutely. But because some guy correctly guessed it 9 years ago, based on the size of OP's tiny 3'5" x 10' bedroom, people think it applies to every post.

That was great, thanks for the recommendation!

I think the nature cam also takes saturated photos, making it appear brighter and more yellow than it really is.

Did you somehow miss the entire exposition near the end of the movie? The Kens learn to respect themselves, do what they like, and learn to be themselves instead of attaching their identity to macho bullshit and how Barbie views them. It was a pretty big scene. Gosling comes to grips that Barbie doesn't love him the way he wants and that he shouldn't value himself based on how she feels about him. He even covers up with a tie dye "I'm Kenough" hoodie, ditching his fake persona.

It will be enough to entertain the idiots who lack media literacy, and for the studios, that'll be enough. There's no meaning or subtext behind LLMs or Sora. It'll just be trained to mindlessly copy the pop culture it's fed.

We have a heat pump. It's a little louder in the winter, but not by much. It's very quiet other than the odd hissing sound it makes when defrosting the unit.

Wow media literacy is truly dead. First of all it's satire. Everything is elevated to such ridiculous levels to poke fun at society. They're not saying all men care about is hummers and horses. They fail at running Barbieland because the only thing they care about continues to be impressing Barbie and winning her approval. I think you were just looking for something to be mad about or weren't paying attention if you think that was where the film landed on men and their role in society. You seem to have a very shallow understanding of the film and you need to give it another watch.

Ryan Gosling's Ken has one of the best arcs in the entire film. He goes from being obsessed, needy, and subservient to being a competitive, stereotypical bro, confusing machismo with self confidence, and finally along with all the other Ken's realizes that all he needs is to be himself. No competition, no flexing, no being reliant on others to feel good about himself. He gains awareness of the world and the feelings of others around him. No, by the end of the film he doesn't find his purpose, but he is now in a place where he can explore himself and find it.

That's because Google actually had HUDs in their glasses. Meta is purely audio.

Uwb is ultra wide band. It's what makes things like Air Tags work, tracking them down to a few centimeters in accuracy.

Well now we're already expecting people to have them, so yeah I think people will notice.
