That’s not how knowledge works. You can’t just have an LLM hallucinate in missing gaps in knowledge and call it good.

He needs to get out and touch some grass.

I think it’s a fairly old photo. It also says “future US Green Party presidential candidate” next to Stein, after she’s already run as their candidates at this point 2 or 3 times. Just goes to show how far back these connections go.

I’ve heard her fans claim she didn’t know she would be sitting with Putin for this dinner and ask what was she supposed to do, like she was a powerless victim.

I don’t know, maybe she should have fucking got up and left the room!

And then trying to deflect the blame and focus onto an immigrant. Typical indeed.

Pretty good advice. Although they are probably recommending that for more than just it being a Meta data farming scam.

I thought her constantly puffy face was due to Botox. My apologies Ms Noem if it was actually due to allergies. Next question is: what is she allergic to? Pollen? Dead dog fur? Ethics? Empathy? Morality?

Was that the video where one of the peacekeepers pulls the backpack away from the person and starts shouting about how he has a rifle, and then cops descend on the guy with the rifle?

If so, that might have been them later detaining the peacekeeper who shot the guy who ran into the crowd (the same peacekeeper who accidentally shot the Samoan bystander)?

Or maybe not. This whole situation is very confusing.

Edit: Or more likely, the guy with the rifle who was called out and detailed by cops wasn’t the volunteer but instead was the guy who initially ran at the crowd. Either way, it’s still a confusing situation.

Good news good Signal.

I think they are referring to the Democrats.

Politicians hide themselves away

they only started the war

Why should they go out to fight?

They leave that role to the poor

(For those who don’t know: “War Pigs”, by Black Sabbath)

You’re correct in the general sense. But it’s not even 49%. It’s basically 2-10% of the American electorate. They flip-flop based on their own myopic, selfish impulses, and whatever bullshit they’ve been fed by the media.

In 2016 they swung it for Trump because unlike his opponent he’s a white guy, they didn’t like Clinton, and because Trump’s promises of cheaper gas for their big trucks would save them a bit of money each month.

In 2020 they swung for Biden because he’s also a white guy, they had discovered Trump just caused chaos without really delivering any personal benefits to them, and Biden looked like the more stable option for their pocket book.

In 2024 they swung for Trump again because unlike his opponent he’s a white guy, and they apparently have fucking goldfish memories.

Meanwhile, millions of other people in America and elsewhere in the world are being put through hell to a lesser or greater degree because of these people.

In b4 the Trump administration issues a war proclamation on the Washington Bar Association, labels it a terrorist organization, bans it, and sends in the National Guard to destroy its building.

Like this administration adheres to rules.

Nancy Pelosi, AOC, Mike Pence, and really anyone who they deemed to have offended their god-emperor and who happened to still be in the building.

The turd doesn’t fall far from the asshole.

Depends on the payroll company. And it depends on whether they are cloud-based and which region they are hosting in the cloud. And it depends on whether the payroll software offers the feature to disable federal tax deductions from pay checks. And it depends on whether the employer using that software enabled that feature, and if they are willing to face the consequences from a vindictive government.

Edit: basically it’s a lot more complicated than just “screw it, we as a state just won’t pay our federal taxes!”, unfortunately.

How does that happen though? It’s deducted from paychecks by employers. So unless a large number of employers (especially bigger ones) have the inclination and means to block such deductions on their payroll software, it won’t happen. And I don’t see a lot of larger companies wanting to jump into a legal violation with the federal government.

Edit: fixed some typos.

It started happening a few years ago in my area. Maybe like right before the pandemic?

For a while some of the stations had a hidden option where you could hit one of the unmarked selection buttons and it would at least mute the ads. But starting around the end of last year they took that option away.

The only stations I know of that don’t show ads are Costco (and I assume Sam’s Club too, but idk). Plus they have slight discounts on gas because they are member only. But my local Costco station is such a headache to get through these days - even at around 9pm after the main store closes - that I not just go to a local Shell or Valero and resentfully try to ignore the fucking ads that always play.

Oh TACO Belle? Yeah, she’s a prime candidate of cluelessness too. But there are so many trump hires who fit this bill, and only so many characters allowed in a Lemmy comment field.
