Seems like you aren’t the only person asking that

The place mentioned in that article, Rose Goute Creole Restaurant, looks great: https://g.co/kgs/XFykf9j

I’m nowhere near ohio, but I’ve made a note to try that place if I’m ever within driving distance

While I would hope that’s the case, I firmly believe the GOP / russia would have doubled down on the misinformation that was already all over the place, and the ignorant on facebook and other social media still would have eaten that shit up. I think in the voters that mattered Bernie would have made a much bigger impression, and the policies he worked to pass would have been much more beneficial, but I don’t think it would have been this magic situation where all the dumb people disappeared and the rich people stopped trying to get the dumb people to vote make them richer

Most large scale open source projects at this point are funded by somebody. usually because they have benefit to an enterprise somewhere. But I don’t know if an alternative browser really provides much enterprise support anywhere, sadly.

Probably the $500 million or so that Google pays them every year

It better be with all that gold coming out of it

Damn, I’m being hung up on all the technicalities. “I think it’s more likely that, in my lifetime, I would randomly shit out a pure Royal Canadian Mint 1 kilo 99.99% gold bar in its entirety before the US Supreme Court would nationalize any company”

Sorry, should have specified “a realistic way to legally…” I think I would shit out actual gold before the Supreme Court voted to nationalize anything, much less spacex

I wish we had a legal way to force musk out of spacex. I want spacex to succeed, I think it’s in our nature as humans to want to explore beyond our own planet. I don’t think it should be under private control of fascist billionaires with the interests of building feudalist space colonies

Agreed, things like DLSS are the right kind of application of AI to games, same with frame generation. The wrong kind is trying to figure out how to replace developers, artists of every kind, actors, etc in the production process with AI. That being said though, companies like Nvidia absolutely can and will profit off making sure that a game cannot run well on anything but the latest hardware that they sell, so the whole “you need to buy our stuff to play games because it has the good ai and now all games require the good ai” is capitalist bullshit

You know, some of the best scholars are saying, and believe me folks, these people are saying, our numbers should be better folks, people are telling me, people are honestly saying to me that our numbers should be better, and I mean we have the, you know, we have the concept of a plan with the best people on it to get those numbers better folks.

She’s most unfit for all of them. But let’s see her get appointed

On January 14, 2019, Loomer convinced several men she met in a Home Depot parking lot, who she claimed were undocumented, to jump the fence with her at Nancy Pelosi’s Napa, California, home. The group set up a tent on Pelosi’s lawn to protest immigration before being removed by police. They were not arrested.

For homeland security

Honestly the dems hosting a “mock debate” like this would be incredible. Release it as a YouTube video comedy partnership or something. Even better if has a great Donald Trump impersonator

Idk based on her actions it would not surprise me in the least if she’s sucking on that spray tan for a cabinet position

Or creating AI generated images of said artists pretending that they are supporting him

lol really it was just a way for Putin to donate to trump’s campaign but here we are

Yes citizen, roll up your sleeve and show me your trump nft tattoo

sir, close your trenchcoat, we’re talking about documents here

No, fashion is an industry, and it should remain that way. Anyone should feel free to explore the industry of fashion, nobody should feel like they have to, same with most industries.

Agreed. For some there’s a drive to maintain perceived “normalcy” based on what is seen in the media. This has existed long before social media. The 2.5 kids, a golden retriever and a white pocket fence was the American “normal.”

Trying to exist within social norms has existed for a long time. I think now we can see, through our digital lenses into the world, that social norms are different elsewhere, and the idea of “normal” continues to expand. And that’s a good thing, we are now willing to realize that everyone is human with their own whims, goals, interests, and wanting to exist how they feel comfortable.

It seems the largest issues come from trying to take those traditional norms which no longer make sense, and force them onto people that have seen that it’s ok to be different.

Today’s “normal” should just be treat your fellow human with dignity and respect, the golden rule is still golden. But I think the echo chambers of social media makes people join tribes of “their” normal and anyone who doesn’t fit that should be ostracized.

Most of us are just trying to get by in a world with increased corporate or otherwise authoritative control. We should fight against that, but see another human as human, regardless of if they are just like us.

What’s important is their behavior towards their fellow human. If they are hateful, violent, oppressive, predatory, etc, they don’t follow this new normal and they should be ostracized.

You do know this line is about mass shootings in general and not just school shootings, and that

A vast majority of guns used in 19 recent mass shootings were bought legally and with a federal background check. At least nine gunmen had criminal histories or documented mental health problems that did not prevent them from obtaining their weapons.

And that article is from 2018 and the shootings have only become more frequent
