Recent grass touching chronicles: The Anti-AI Data center crusades continue. A church was gracious enough to host us this time.
Sometimes I wish I had studied medicine. The medics save lives and stuff, meanwhile I'm like "I make computah go beep boop"
“I make computah go beep boop”
I have a chicken named Sheba, which turned into Sha-bee-boo and then be-boo and she is always the last to go to bed so when I go to lock them up at night I'd say "go to bed sheba" but now it has now evolved in to me saing "Bo boo beep beep boo"
To be fair, computation can have its uses in healthcare. Though in what ways beyond purely administrative things, I'm not entirely sure. And I'm not sure how much of a career there is in it beyond sys admin type stuff.
Yeah, computers are awesome. It's just a little vent because it's harder to see exactly how I help compared to medics
Recently I made a program to generate reports for a Socialist country. I feel like this sort of stuff could be useful in a smaller scale, but software can only act if there's people around to use it. Hopefully I'll get to help people in the future, maybe even in a hospital.
I get you. It's definitely more indirect when it is a help. But also just broader in what it can be used or. Medicine is more straightforwardly a "help other people" thing (with only the rarest cases of it being used for ill); software is more ambiguous as to the impact it has and what it gets used for. But yeah, here's hoping you find a good cause for it. The socialist country reports thing already sounds like a step in that direction!
Sometimes I really feel like Yugoslavia "sold it's soul for rock and roll". Literally. I've got some very old Yugoslav-issue records of Dire Straits and other stuff. Also applies to what happened to Yugoslavia.
Honestly for Venezuela, I'm really conflicted. On the one hand, I feel like Maduro would've said something if Rodriguez had betrayed him either at his plea hearing or the recent statement he made about the opposition meetings happening soon. But at the same time I feel like not everything Rodriguez has done has been the bare minimum necessary to prevent invasion/war, i.e reopening relations with Israel.
I lean pro-Rodriguez, partially just because the anti-Rodriguez people are insufferable, but idk
I'm still alive, just about, weather has been brutal where I live, if it isn't sunny and hot as hell it's constant thunderstorms
Person just got shot multiple times at the place I work, luckily I was off. America is totally not descending further into being a bankrupt shithole where everyone is pissed off and agitated.
Glad you are safe. You got a union? Can you get some mental health leave for the trauma even though you weren't there?
No unions (not a whole lot of those left anymore in the US) but yes I'm fine.
So I saw a video on Soviet computer hobbyists. I think imma try doing soldering.
stay safe and do not inhale those vapors
Thanks for the tip
Looking into the LEGO heist scandal, crime is just legal when you're a business owner huh. If someone tried that in México, they would not live another day lol.
Idk both Dolly Parton and Michael Parenti had illiterate fathers and they turned out pretty good so maybe we should keep men illiterate (/s)
survivorship bias haha
but if men were illiterate Parenti wouldn't have been literate and thus unable to be so class conscious.
The GTA 6 launch and the following rage by the most oppressed minority gamers should remind some of them to touch some grass
All I got from the trailer drop was a resounding wave of "it's a gta game" or "meh", clearly I have not been seeing gamers' reactions.
I think it looks good. However, having been burned by cyberpunk 2077 before, I'm not making any further judgements nor pre-ordering.
I do have a very big soft spot for it being set in vice city/the vice city area just because vice city was my first gta game and personally still probably my favorite even if i know a lot of the other ones are better
Vice city has the best music of any GTA game with SA being a close second.
I liked that they included more body types and cellulite. But it seems like this is more of showing off the pretty graphics than anything else. The online RP side will love it though.
The DNC is freaking out because they never expected that people would actually vote for socialists in their party.
Source? I am curious to read up on the details.
Just the usual Hasan stuff. They're going after him because it'd be a bad look to go after Mamdani or Sayed publicly https://www.newsweek.com/hasan-piker-condemned-by-jeffries-ossoff-and-other-democrats-full-list-12376581
Lol. Hasan is the Democratic Party's most loyal footsoldier. He has done more to help Democrats get elected than any DNC stooge. And this is not a compliment to Hasan, quite the opposite. Hasan keeps shilling for people who hate his guts and will never change, like an abused spouse deluding themselves that they can change their abusive partner. Just leave!
To be fair, the Democratic party is not a party in the sense of the 'normal' European party democracies. The American duopoly is quite a bit different to most other "liberal democracies". Standing as a Democrat requires running in the Primary system, not a party membership or attendance of conferences or whatever. Dem/Rep are more like wrappers over a formal two-party system like the Communist Party is the wrapper of a socialist one-party democracy.
Minor parties fulfil a similar role in the US as they do in something like China, they have low to no access to the levers of power and never will, and are only allowed in so far as they serve no real threat to the duopoly/single party democracy.
I've heard that excuse before and i still don't buy it. The duopoly won't go away unless people stop voting for it. Leftists in the US need to let the Democratic party die.
Oh I see. Looks especially absurd. The gist of the article seems to be that dems are trying to shoot the messenger. From the look of it, somewhat-leftist Hasan is telling them "hey maybe you shouldn't be such staunch zionists, that might go badly for you" and they're like "gasp how dare you insinuate that being a rabid zionist could lead to anything but peace and prosperity!" Instead of going "hmm maybe he has a point, there are a lot of people who are pissed off at zionists for committing genocide on an actively ongoing basis, or, if they are geographically distant from it, offering ideological support to zionism and the israel colonization/occupation project".
New right wing Dutch party has started. They are convinced that Dutch people want right wing conservatism but get left wing policies instead. We have had a right wing government for over 20 years now. These people live in delulu land.
As long as it splits the right, I have no problem with right wing splinter parties. I hope they take some support away from FvD
Damn Nepal has been hit hard by floods caused by a glacier collapsing
Nice to see more Norwegian football clubs getting into the Champions League as they have left leaning fans mostly. I hope my team plays Bodo away so I can visit them.
Oh shit we got Viking away instead but I'll take it
The saying goes, "100 years in the West, 100 years in the East". Each region of Earth enjoys their own period of prosperity before taking turns rising and falling. Romans thought their empire would last forever. It did not. We are living in a special era where Western countries are declining in power, and Eastern countries are rising in power. Nothing lasts forever. Change is the only constant. Asian diaspora are waking up and returning back to China with their talents, causing a reverse brain-drain. Welcome to the Asian Century. The world will turn from unipolar to multipolar. In the future, we will no longer be at the mercy of America's imperialism, and suffer from their tyranny. Countries will seek connections with China, a better alternative that does not bully, pillage, violate them.
been a hell of a couple months, got the EOB from my insurance for the several hospital visits, ER and otherwise, along with imaging and all that. According to what they sent me I'm going to owe about $50k in bills after what they've already paid and refuse to pay. We also had to put our 16 year old doggie down after he had a 3rd stroke and could no longer stand or do much of anything without our constant help. He had a great couple of last days, we took him to his favorite old park he hadn't been to in years, he ate ice cream and cake and McDonald's and beef jerky. We spent every moment we could with him before we took him to the vet. Now we have a new little holy terror puppy in the house.
Sorry about your dog :(
I'm also sitting on some medical debt, just not gonna pay and see what happens
good luck, i did that once and it worked out.. it just kinda went away after a few months of me never responding and moving away. that was a couple decades ago though so not sure how things have changed since
Rest in peace Dolly Parton
Now Tim Curry as well ffs
Rest in Peace for both of them.
Have been vegan for some years now. Before that I was vegetarian for years as well. I have been so far removed from meat that I never think about it.
Saw a truck full of pigs headed to the slaughterhouse today and it filled me with rage. Like I legit got triggered by the unexpected sight. Wanted to burn the truck down and save them, but that was impossible sadly. We need to do better.
I have very little hope of meaningful improvements here under capitalism, except for maybe incidental material forces that happen to drive the market to evolve. At least in the US. It's already a [worthwhile] struggle to organize people around their own class interests let alone empathy for anyone else.
It's astounding that there's really no limit as to what can be normalized.
