I am staunchly against randomly murdering people with package bombs. But they put that poor man through hell with the MK Ultra stuff.

The big monsters that run our world turned a brilliant mind into a little monster. A massive tragedy from every angle

Do techbros that complain on the Fediverse about people hating on AI realize it isn't just here that hates AI?

Lemmy is unusual in that it has a large portion of users who actually understand the underlying technologies in “AI” branded products. Most forums with a more typical audience do not have that.

We are a self-selected group of tech-savvy ideological refugees. That’s why I stay, I can learn things every day from lemmy. So i think the only thing different here is that many fuckai posts/comments have a factual and germane basis.

Someone put chains on the fence at the federal building in LA and now the Department of Homeland Security is locked up inside the property and can't get out.

Yes there are and they are less than $200 for a full setup, these are the wire fed type you can get at a Harbor Freight.

The power supply is the trickiest part, but the low end welders only need a 20amp circuit, which is a typical power level that might serve a suburban bedroom. You would need a vehicle but even a couple of deep cycle lead-acid batteries and an converter/inverter would power several minutes of welding, more than enough as typical spot welds only require ~10 seconds of arc time.

That’s going to be me and my peeve regarding the malapropism “assless chaps”.

Chaps with asses are PANTS!

Helpful fact

I hate how people have to get a diagnosis in order to get any slack for not being exactly like everyone else. Screw you people, this is who I am. Turn the damn light off.

Shocker

I have recently decided to tone down my usual gaytheist schtick in favor of being a ‘red-letter Christian’. It affords many more opportunities to bag on mainstream ‘christians’ for their utter failure to even try to live up to the teachings attributed to Jesus.

It’s not a change of heart, just a change in my personal branding. Lately, I have been reminding believers that just a short time before Jesus was tortured to death, he took a whip to a bunch of crypto bros in the temple.

Now if you will excuse me, I have a brunch date with some prostitutes and Publicans.
