A local politicial got egged recently and when i saw someone about it he claimed it was a violent assault lol

They'd post a lot of pretty lazy rightwing history memes, and are a pretty ardant anticommunist (buts par for the course in the anglosphere)

but also whatever they're just some guy, no strong feelings, there's more important things to worry about

Tips for smoking my adhd medication?

In this Brave New World, I just hope they pay me in Soma

It's more a vaporizing than a total ignition

One nefarious aspect of the pro-AI rhetoric coming out of Silicon Valley is that it frames AI as an inevitability. But Lepore argued that this brand of fatalism is a “bogus premise,” itself nestled on top of several more dubious propositions. One we hear endlessly is that regulation stifles innovation, so the government should take the handbrake off AI development. The other is that technology always advances democracy, which assures us that all of the very real threats to democracy AI poses in the present will magically sort themselves out.

I'm functionally unemployed but I can afford to be, and I do it so I can tell myself I'm contributing less to the imperialist government

I also can't hack a full time job because of mental illness, so there's that. I don't qualify for a pension.

I asked an AI to generate an image of me being mauled by a bear, it's shocking, try it yourself. I now think bears should be killed.

Funny that christian nuns wear a head covering, and christian women wear veils at weddings. I can't see these women crying murder about Jewish women covering their hair (I'm sure they would in a heartbeat).

I often get jealous when i see women with a head covering, I wish I had that kind of privacy.

An obligatory Fanon quote

The hijab, especially the Algerian haik, appears first as a clear sign of belonging. Clothing is not presented as a small outward habit, but as one of the most visible ways a people shows its civilisation, customs, dignity, and inner order. In Algeria, the veil marked the Algerian woman and separated her from the foreigner. It placed her inside her own social universe, with its own modesty, family honour, and public codes. The veil therefore became a boundary. It told the coloniser that Algerian society had its own laws, its own gaze, and its own protected space. (A Dying Colonialism, 35–36; translator’s note on haik, 36.)

I saw someone asking an AI to give them one liners to start a conversation that could lead to a discussion about whatever

atAI, tell me how to talk to people

Fortress Europe, except it's soon to be Dessolate Wasteland Europe.

This is obviously some intense individualist junk in the article, but if it's too hot at home try going to a public space with AC.

I live in Australia, I've never had A/C, when it's hot I've gone to a mall, a library, a swimming pool, the beach, a cinema, hung out in anumderground gararge, freeze some damp cloths, be creative.

Hey this is not bad, it is what is says it is, nice work, the cover art is really nice too

as a side note, just a little while ago i saw some youth selling limp bizket and system of a down CDs as an emo collection, haha

A woman is dead after being hit by a car which then crashed into lunchtime diners at a shopping centre in Melbourne's east.

Police said the 27-year-old woman was walking across a pedestrian crossing at Westfield Knox when she was hit about 12:45pm.

today in melbourne :(

I use a VPN 99% of the time, i turn it off when i need to access archive.org, or watch something on the public braordcasters streaming platform

yeah sure the captchas are annoying but it's not like websites load within 10 seconds anymore

I only wish protonVPN was a good as the one i used previously, but i cancelled it cause it had ties to israel

$150 for a aluminium safety razor are you fucking kidding me? You can get a safety razor online for less than half that.

protip never buy anything you see advertised, especially on youtube

I hesitate to post this cause i'm bumping the post

Shchadov was portrayed in the HBO mini series Chernobyl by Michael Colgan,[9] but the drama lowered his age and depth of experience in the coal industry for dramatic and narrative purposes.[10]

better to just copy the text, comrade :^)

The family of the migrant worker who died in the collapse, Xiao Dekun, received 775,000 RMB (approximately $113,000 USD) in compensation.[3]

13 were tried over the collapse, 8 others including local regulators and subcontractors had their licenses terminated and were fined 500,000 RMB (approximately $68,000). 9 investors were fired from their local government jobs for conflicts of interest.[4] The 2 top shareholders, Que Jingde and Zhang Zhiqin, were sentenced to life imprisonment after being convicted on charges of graft, embezzlement of corporate funds, and negligence leading to a serious accident.[5] Zhang was also fined 5 million RMB (approximately 687,000 USD) and Que was fined 2 million RMB (approximately 275,000 USD).

Found a wiki article about it cause I have to turn off my VPN everytime I accesses the wayback machine.

Imo this is good advice, the only other thing i'd mention is Dollar Cost Averaging, basically budgeting to put a similar amount of money into something over a longer period of time. If you were to put $10,000 into something today, and the market has a routine crisis, it would sting a lot more than if you put the same amount of money in chunks of $200 over several months. Good to find something with low brokerage fees local to you.

Another thing worth mentioning, ETF or indexed funds will have lists of what they contain, if you can't find them, then you can ask for them (but they're normally easy to find). I say this because my money sat in a fund for a really long time that was filled with weapon companies and bonds in imperialist governments. You can find things labeled 'ethical', they're normally not that ethical (how is 20% of a fund being tied up in US tech stocks - google, apple, etc - ethical?), but it's better than having a direct stake in Lockheed Martin and Israeli Government bonds.

Oh and you will not time the market, do not try. I've never sold anything outside of an emergency when I needed the cash, and it generally takes about a week to organise.

I've had to look into this a lot because the government takes a portion of my pay and makes me invest it in superannuation.

I stopped taking it all together a few years ago, yeh my t levels bumped up a little, but it's actually pretty neat having higher t levels. Energy, muscle growth, libido.

At the levels they've prescribed you, I'd be checking on your liver health, a friend of mine ws hospitalised (after taking a large daily dose for 2 years, they did recover)

As a side note a doctor i saw once said taking e sublingually without pills designed for it was a waste of time (itll just end up in your gut anyway), but i am pretty certain it does make a difference cause it gives me some fuzzies when I do it

I still live as my assigned gender, and didnt start hrt til I was in my late 20s, about 7 years ago (wow)

anyway, take care my friend

You lot sound dissapointed that us troups have low moral and don't have ice cream 🤔

I never joined the military and I can acquire iced sweets anytime I want

How about calling out her fascist beliefs instead of this ew her face misogynist shit, goddamn
