Waiting on Brighter Shores to come out!

This looks amazing 🤩

I will argue into oblivion and keep someone unblocked

Put yourself on public camera streams first as a test. I bet this guy is not always on his best behavior

This is great suff and I agree for the most part.

I have not been occupying right spaces online. Don’t have the time / energy. And I don’t really put in the effort to try to change anyone’s mind Online because people are change resistant online.

But

I do argue politely IRL for things that would help. Better infrastructure, trains, good jobs, love everyone, let people do what they want as long as it doesn’t hurt others, transparency in money and government, and make good things in America. Still unlikely to change minds but at least making friendships with people different from me.

I guess my overall thesis would be: online discourse is has proven unproductive. I’m tired of reading vitriol and “other side is so dumb wow.”

Disappointed to see the echoiness of the echo chamber on Lemmy

Thanks! Good response. I think it is always worth the effort to try and understand and talk to people and use words to convince them. I think everyone can be convinced, we just have to pull the right levers.

But if it’s the community’s opinion that that is not an option, and only violence is the answer. I have very low hopes for our country’s future.

I would be cautious about writing off an entire side’s viewpoint as overdramatic. When they do that to the left, does anyone change their mind?

This is all about division.

We need to work on understanding the root cause of issues and working towards fixing that.

I think economics is actually at the core of the problem.

A lot of people don’t have the basics right now, and they lash out at anything they can to try to fix it.

The Overton window has shifted dramatically in the last 10 years. He represents aversion to that

I’m going to keep calling it monkeypox, I like the silliness

We send your calculations to your fourth grade teacher

I want to, but I always get lost in the past and end up shouting a curse word and getting flustered 😂

MAGApox lol

I stopped naming inanimate objects after I named a bong and it got destroyed on the first day 😞😭

I got rid of my very small front yard grass this year. Instead: some natural tall decorative grasses under the downspouts, but also some Dutch tulips, hyacinth, peony, daffodil. Cottage garden style. I got some good comments from the neighbors. And I don’t have to mow one freaking pass around the front of the house 😂 I ran drip irrigation to get it started and put down cardboard and mulch. I haven’t had any of the former grass try and poke up, thankfully. I’ve heard the best thing to do is just fill it with plants you want, so that plants you don’t want don’t have room to grow. Some of the tulips I got were bigger than my head!

Clipping their fingernails

Nails flew all over the train

Careful, Godwin’s Law might hear you 😂

Now that the US doesn’t rely on auto manufacturing as its main industry, people are coming around on trains.

But, what’s that rule about headlines ending in a question mark? 🤔

Surprisingly balanced and civil discussions in these comments. Super proud to be here 💪 this would not happen elsewhere

You probably want 48gb of vram or more to run the good stuff. I recommend renting GPU time instead of using your own hardware, via AWS or other vendors - runpod.io is pretty good.

Dumb name & dumb product, bring back Chromecast
