I just had the most American thing happen to me today. I was asked to tip while purchasing fireworks for the 4th of July.

Goddamn Dream Theater fucking rocks. Glad to see some love for them here on Lemmy.

I was so mad Biden whiffed his response on this. I wanted him to come out and be like “women are literally fleeing states that have abortion bans. Infant mortality rates in Texas are skyrocketing.”

Instead he said something like “I met a woman who was killed by illegal immigrants.” Wtf man…

Still voting blue, but come on.

Lol last night before the debate started, I sent a message to my friends asking if it was too late to get Kyle Clark to moderate. The guy is amazing.

Applications of these systems have been plagued by persistent inaccuracies in their output; these are often called “AI hallucinations”. We argue that these falsehoods, and the overall activity of large language models, is better understood as bullshit in the sense explored by Frankfurt (On Bullshit, Princeton, 2005)

Now I kinda want to read On Bullshit

Oh I thought they had two doors. Must have been a concept that I saw.

The Hyundai Santa Cruz is pretty close. Wish they made it electric.

It’s because Republicans are skewing the numbers. 84% of Democrats and 73% of Independents understand the Supreme Court is a joke.

Lol at the ending

We’ve still got a few years until the three seashells take over and Taco Bell wins the franchise wars.

Lol “well what do I know about shifting?”

Pretty sure Chipotle is owned by McDonalds.

It is not. McDonald’s was an early investor but hasn’t been for a long long time (almost 20 years now), but the idea has stuck around.

I have a friend who named his kids Brie and Colby. He never had a 3rd kid, so I always wondered what other cheese names were out there.

What headset are you using? I’ve got a big ass nose cancelling headset I use on my personal computer, but it’s a bit much for work - especially since I have to be on camera occasionally.

My mom does the same thing. “Make sure you go look at the moon tonight. It’s a super blue blood harvest moon that won’t happen again in a million years.”

You would need a pretty good telescope to see a dime from 238 thousand miles away.

First off, fuck Trump. Just wanted to get that out of the way.

Second, this article is summarizing another article that it links to at the beginning. The original article was written in 2017. If they’re going to plagarize paraphrase another article, could they at least choose something more recent?

Trump has been convicted of 34 felonies since then and has plenty more convictions on the way. Surely they can at least try to update the article.

If you’re from the US, the moon is the size of a dime when viewed from 6 feet away. I don’t know what a universal measurement would be for folks outside the US.

Anyway, it always cracks me up when people get hyped for a “super moon”. This tiny object in the sky is going to be indistinguishably less tiny!

Unfortunately, I think this is the most likely scenario. Going from our modern technology levels, which are more than capable of destroying the world, to Dyson spheres is a huge leap that will take who knows how long (decades? centuries? millennia?).

Before that happens, we have to live together on a planet without blowing ourselves up or making the planet uninhabitable. As technology continues to advance, walking that knife edge of survival seems more and more difficult. The pessimist inside of me says that no civilization has been able to accomplish it.
