And watch the next season of that show I like and condense it down to a bullet point list of spoilers. (/s if not obvious)

I run an instance by myself, so I tend to default to “new” mostly to catch spam and shit early and axe it.

On my LW account, I tend to stick to “Subscribed” unless I’m looking for new content to subscribe to. I also block a lot of communities and pretty much all bot accounts because of exactly what you listed in the post.

We should just give them Mars. It’ll even fit their creation myth nicely. Earth will simply be the garden they were asked politely, but firmly, to leave.

Pretty much.

Every time I’ve heard “[X] should embrace AI or get left behind” it’s being said by someone making or selling AI (or a product they shoehorned AI into).

There’s another photo of him with Sen. Eric Schmitt of Missouri on a flight, and his phone is on the table there, too. That photo is more recent: it’s from October 5 of this year.

From the article:

If you zoom in on the phone at the table you can see Trump has that wallpaper of himself pointing at the camera. It’s much more difficult to see than the images going viral this week on social media, but it’s definitely the same wallpaper.

Thanks!

You are the best. Saving this! Will probably also upload it as a custom emoji on my instance.

RIP satire. :(

Werewolfing comes to mind.

If you know you’re gonna do something bad/stupid/dangerous/etc you can sequester yourself in an attempt to prevent it.

Getting high is a popular way to werewolf yourself.

I did find the “watch me turn off the TV” GIF but not not the lights :(

Totally respect that.

I tried a month of dumbphone but realized there was a minimum of “smart” I needed in a daily driving device. My compromise was a low-end smartphone in a flip phone form factor which is just smart enough for what I need.

Hard agree!

I downgraded to a pseudo dumb phone a few months ago, and it’s been life changing in all the best ways.

Thanks!

Yeah, I found that one but it wasn’t quite what I wanted so passed on it and fell back to Jurassic Park.

The painful part is that I have that episode on DVD, so I have access to the scene. I just don’t know how to go from DVD to GIF. lol

“My Life is an Onion Article” is now on the short list of titles for my autobiography.

There you go!

No idea what app it was. Mom was just like “my phone got hacked so i got a new one” and a new phone number with it. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Did your mom also install a random sketchy app from the app store and click “Allow” when it asked to access her contacts?

Because my mom did, and I get all kinds of spam. 😠

I’d recommend also locking this post (and removing this comment from me) so the vote comments remain at the top (sometimes distinguishing them with ‘speak as mod’ doesn’t federate).

LOL. Task failed successfully!

I just re-linked the GIF to go through my image proxy (originally linked directly from yarn.io which usually works fine. Usually.). Did that help?

It’s also weird that it’s not showing the alt text. Figured that’d have at least come through.

The Washington Post: “Democracy Dies in Darkness”

Bozos:

I had to settle for the Jurassic Park GIF because I couldn’t find the one of Homer Simpson using his gun to turn off the lights. If anyone has that GIF, please hook me up.

That’s all well and good, but they need to denounce him at the ballot box, too.
