My dad has been saying that the Republicans were going to be the ones taking guns when people go on about "gun grabbing democrats" since Reagan apparently. I was only long enough to hear him say that around Bush era onward but this is my shocked face that he was right.

I don't feel for him. I live in Missouri which is the state that keeps getting more and more red while shitting on everyone every step of the way. If he couldn't figure that out he's an idiot.

If he was of voting age to remember the last time Trump was in power, he's an idiot.

He's crying now, but the second things are working okay for him and he has a chance to hate again, he'll start hating again.

I have no use for these assholes anymore.

Of course they condemned Islam for that. It's Islam.

For Christianity, it's different for the evangelicals.

I have found a couple times an LLM being good for searches. My example is scooters in the US, because of commute I'd like to find an electric scooter, the kind like a Vespa. But you do a search, you find all sorts about the standing scooters, look for electric motorcycles and they start getting to car level prices or aren't street legal, it gets to be a mess. Chat GPT turned that search into a relatively quick one that I could find a local place that I'm going to check out when there's not ice on the ground. But the important part was making it require links. As a tool, it can have its uses.

So all of that said... Google and other searches doing AI did fuck all and nothing to help on this, and I agree 100% I do not want AI on the search for DDG

I could be wrong but I figured the most humane was was an oxygen displacement gas seeing as how quickly a body goes unconcious without o2.

My dad has always said it'd be the Republicans who would take guns.

They're working for it.

The trouble with that is the blue states would be the coasts, and the red states down the middle...

Ehhhhhh... I don't have faith in it. The manufacturing sector has been in the process of getting worse back when I tried to get into it in 08, and finally gave up on actually finding work in the industry and moved to healthcare. I know people who've quit welding jobs because they hit the ceiling on pay and it's still not making living wages here in the midwest.

Yet that's an industry that has consistently anti-union my entire life. They just buy into the foreigners taking their jobs. I fear the programming sector will drink the same koolaid, just Indians instead of Mexicans.

Ugh... so many of these, and I look around. I know I'm at minimum 4th generation US on both sides of my family.

I have multiple of the bone conducting ones. The main ones. The backup ones for when I forget them. The backup backup ones that was two generations ago and the microphone crapped out on that lives in my desk at work in case I forgot the backup ones.

This is a lie. One will never suffice. That thing will disappear the second you look away.

I agree on the tricking them, but there's another part I look at. Basic fucking pattern recognition. The jobs have stopped being the in demand for a while now, and they're not so much on the negotiating power. But the idea of a union is still apparently more anathema and are shocked at these mass layoffs that keep happening.
