  • Every groups have a "testing". Some also have a "production".

  • If a Great Depression happened again, would people still stand together like they did during the penny auctions?

  • 77,302,580 people is not half of America. It is 49.8% of the folks that bothered to vote.

    More usefully,

    In the 2024 presidential election, 73.6% (or 174 million people) of the citizen voting-age population was registered to vote and 65.3% (or 154 million people) voted according to new voting and registration tables released today by the U.S. Census Bureau.

  • I am of the opinion that not discussing these things is an analog to the Paradox of Tolerance, if not being exactly what the Paradox is about. If we don't discuss the hatefulness, then the hateful think they are doing fine.

    Attacking only causes people to "dig in". Passive aggressive actions will make you look weak.

    Being cordial while also calling out instances of hate as they occur would likely be fine. Be strong and confident, but keep corrections short and to the point (Imagine correctly a 5 year old. Understanding and care, not anger, and keep things in reality.) "That didn't happen.", "Why would a criminal say that?", "Toddlers visiting basketball plays, will reduce the average height, but no one gets shorter or taller."

  • Me too!

    And I quickly found out why everyone else had left. (The job after was good though.)

  • Should sneakers with lights in the sole exist for adults?

    Jump

  • Yes. With rechargeable batteries, or some obvious way to change the batteries.

    Do be certain to advertise them here, so that I am aware these are even for sale. Or take preorders for my shoe size. (Why in the hell is everything NOT a preorder these days?)

  • YSK the ELIZA effect: "extremely short exposures to a relatively simple computer program" can "induce powerful delusional thinking in quite normal people"

  • Have to? No.

    Should you? Yes. The theatrics really liven up the day.

  • A lot of media depict the United States as being invaded by fascists from the outside. Nobody thought fascism will come from within until now.

    Jump

  • It is possible to do an internet search for a date range. Looking at 2016, there were many articles regarding fascism and Trump. Here is just one:

    https://www.forbes.com/sites/realspin/2016/05/31/yes-a-trump-presidency-would-bring-fascism-to-america/

    It is true that many people were uncertain if Trump was a full on fascist, or if he was thwarted by a lack of reading. Which sounds like a lie. I am cherry picking this quote from the article, the article itself is not particularly cherry picked.

    Do you think that Trump is consciously using fascist tropes, or do you think that he’s just sort of stumbled into this?I doubt it’s conscious. I don’t think he’s a bookish man. I’m sure he’s never read a book about Hitler or Mussolini.https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2016/02/is-donald-trump-a-fascist-an-expert-on-fascism-weighs-in.html

    Edit: editing for clarity.

  • This is the way.

    Blood sacrifices used used to be needed; but now that the congregation is large, candles and incense are preferred.

  • Deleting Files

  • Is that even typical? At work we have like one Windows computer per person. But everyone has like 8 computers at home.

  • Few run Windows in multi-user anymore. Most servers are doing Linux.

    I am assuming simultaneous, not one at a time multi-user. Which could happen.

  • Deleting Files

    Jump

  • That only applies in this situation if the requestor is also the owner of the building, as in the OP it is assumed the requestor owns the computer.

    (On a multi-user system it is unlikely running Windows.)

  • When rich people can edit their kids DNA won't that just lock everyone else out and create a new class?

  • Humanity has been fucked many times before. Humans migrated out of Africa TWICE. We have been nearly wiped out several times. Maybe this will be the last time. Maybe Humans will migrate out of Africa a third time....

  • Do the bots do anything in particular that is annoying, or it is the large number of posts?
