 "I do renounce him." 

Priest: and all his works?

 "I do renounce them." 

Let’s add to the list, almost four years of operatives infiltrating their way into the election certification process. Not to get too tinfoil hatty, but the addiction denial strategy almost worked last time, and while the same team that orchestrated it no longer occupied the White house, state officials open to the scheme likely won’t make the same mistakes this time.

It’s a different election now with Harris taking the Dem nomination, but 2020 was decided by about 40k votes spread across a few key states. The same polarization that makes polling almost impossible to do accurately also means people’s opinions are equally hard to change. Don’t try. Instead, focus your efforts on mobilizing voters to turn out. Organize and make a plan to get yourself to the polls and to bring a friend. Check vote.gov and make sure you’re still registered and make sure the reasonable people in your life have too! Uncle ivermectin isn’t changing his mind about the trans panic, but there’s going to be a significant portion of the population that just doesn’t have time to vote between working the jobs to stay afloat. Get them a mail in ballot!

I’ve checked my registration about 25 times this month after learning I had mysteriously dropped from the rolls in a swing state. Don’t let some jackass take your opportunity to vote away. It may be our last change to finally stop hearing about every single stupid thing that comes out of the mouths of the worst people in government. Winning is the only way to fix what’s broken in our system.

No you’re right. It’s like Mitch Hedberg used to say about drinking though… Still does, but he used to too.

They are, but Wells Fargo too.

Man is it refreshing to hear a Taiwanese perspective in the mix. Every post, every comment is a bunch of armchair “experts” talking about an issue they clearly haven’t the slightest personal experience or context for. Not to come off as a jerk but it sure would be nice to hear what the actual people involved think instead of rank speculation. Reminds me of all the infectious disease experts during covid and military strategists in Feb 2022.

I wonder where it got it’s name from?

Thank you for the reply! I posted and then had an unexpected travel commitment come up that pulled me away from Lemmy, but thrilled to have someone with direct involvement jump in.

I couldn’t agree more, and it seems to me that OSE and Lemmy make a perfect match. Can’t wait to check out the wiki and thank you again for the reply! Hope you guys get flooded with support and keep carrying the project forward. What a great mission statement and purpose.

Why would you exit vim tho? Are you being forced under duress or something?

Solving yesterday’s problems, tomorrow!

You’ve just made a bootloop for life!

It’s pretty heavily curated, but it’s where I go for non-bot discussion on any variety of topics. Sorted hierarchically, and they keep out the riff raff pretty actively.

The best thing is adding the metadata of a book by ISBN. That or simply search it on worldcat.org and adding by the browser extension.

Phenomenal citations manager.

Academics focused, but Zotero indexing a large cloud storage drive.

Let’s things organized by subject, tag, author, title, or whatever else I want. Also keeps my notes all in one place. Huge huge proponent and it’s open source!

Yeah! The US is totally a paper tiger! They’ve never even shown their military industrial complex is capable of effectively disrupting entire regions from the other side of the world!

What even is this take?

Yeah! Airbags suck! Wait, what?

Clown take if I’ve ever seen one lol

Thankfully it’s not a vibe. Sad state of affairs that questions like that even have to exist nowadays… I wish it was still shocking to run across and not oh yeah, that’s Uncle Frank for ya.

Last.fm used to have a Pandora radio aspect to it, but lost the race with YouTube music, Spotify, etc.

The thing that last.fm had that made them unique is what they call scrobbling. Basically they kept track of what users were listening to and made links between user preferences that you can use to find new music. I mean they used to, and they still do too, but with far far fewer users. Think Spotify’s year in review, but running constantly.

Honestly, it’s pretty great. I still hop on from time to time, because it’s a great way to find less well known bands. Makes me sad for when it was better used though…

It’s science reporting and not immune to headline inflation, but it’s not a lie to say there were measured improvements to patient cognition.

There’s a developing consensus that electric stimulation has therapeutic potential in restoring brain function (from basal ganglion to transdermal stim). But if you want the full study findings here, I course this article because it looks the DOI address at the bottom.

Given how few (none) treatments they’re are for TBIs right now, this is pretty exciting stuff to me at least.

So what he said was true, from a certain point of view…

(Jedi noises intensify)

Paramotors. If you haven’t, give it a search. I don’t think it’s been done before outside of this conflict, but maybe in Ukraine as well?

Powered paragliding and bulldozers too, that was correct.

Nazi Punks Fuck Off!
