I read that it makes ICE bigger than the fucking Chinese army. It's beyond obscene. One thing that I wonder about is... are there even enough racist sociopaths in this country to fill the ranks? You need a specific type of person to be willing to join ICE. It's possible that there simply aren't enough Americans who are willing to brutalize immigrants to use the $200 billion they were given.

Fuck. I used it for the first time last year and it was incredibly easy. Now I have to go back to being charged by TurboTax for something that should be automatic and free.

...they're giving me cancer while simultaneously quadrupling my health insurance payments. My government has decided to kill me.

This flavor of candid admittance from a diplomat is not something I'm used to. I like it.

Lemmy users seem to overwhelmingly despise AI slop, which makes me wonder why my more communities don't have rules against it. I would love to be able to report it and have it removed.

Did you mean enablers? An ableist is a person who discriminates against disabled people.

Yesssss the internet has not roasted this sellout nearly enough. I hope more people abandon him as this administration continues to get more and more horrific.

Making fun of a stranger's appearance by taking a photo of them without their consent is fucking shitty.

Nypost? Seriously? There are dozens... hundreds of more reputable source to choose from.

Does it matter anymore? Henry Kissinger won it, for fucks sake. This is the second time that I'm aware of someone winning the prize where it almost feels sarcastic. We live in opposite land.

The Nobel prize is meaningless.

This is murder with extra steps. The genocide has already started. I genuinely thought we had more time before it started...

For me this is the most frustrating thing about being autistic. I care about things way too much, and it's debilitating. I wish I could be apathetic because it's absolutely an essential trait to have in the insane times we find ourselves in.

The news is downright traumatizing and has been for years. It's destroying my health. Of course the fact that I'm seeing this shit on the news instead of being bombed myself means I'm quite privileged.

Your title says "AI data centers" but the data says "data centers." Not all data centers are set up for AI.

It's wild that Oregon is 33% but Washington is only 6%. I work security at a data center in Washington and figured there would be more here. It's nice to be wrong.

I roll my damn eyes pretty much daily when I look at the 2+ years of construction this place has undergone to prepare itself for AI.

People who have outdoor cats are facilitating the extinction of birds. I'm completely serious. Domestic cats kill billions of birds annually.

This comic isn't telling us to ignore the news. It's telling us to not engage with incendiary media personalities, like Megyn Kelly. Their entire strategy is to piss people off, because an angry viewer is an engaged viewer. Whenever someone posts something awful that Kelly or someone like her said, they're actually helping that media personality. The only way to defeat them is to not engage.

We should always engage with current events and the news, but be media literate enough to spot the trolls.

OpenAI is buying significantly more RAM than they actually need. They only need 30% of what they're buying to actually build their data centers.

This is just a step on the way towards digital feudalism. Sites like this being taken down is the point, as sites like this are only useful for people who own hardware.

Sigh

Well, this is... wildly disturbing. Is this leading to the American Holocaust? Or am I just being catastrophic again? I had the same thought when they started their database of autistic people.

The last bottle should be Netanyahu. He's arguably one of the most awful people on earth for the perpetuation of the Palestinian genocide.
