  • Why do seemingly all politicians (and no one else) do that hand gesture when they talk, the one where it looks like they're holding an invisible fishing rod?

  • Oh that's right!

    And now I'm remembering his scandalous tan suit!

  • Yeah.

    Although I recently heard him on Marc Maron's podcast, and was rather disappointed.

    He's still far, far more lucid than most other politicians, but he came off as wildly out of touch, which I didn't recall him being 10 years ago.

    Oh well, that's the match of time for you.

  • I haven't watched this video, but I just want to say that the use of the term "Clanker" is really stupid, imo.

    AI agents aren't sentient (yet, at least). They are a tool or puppet of people who are doing this shit. Yelling at an LLM is as dumb as getting into a fight with a ventriloquist dummy after the ventriloquist made fun of you.

  • This is an interesting observation, but I watched Daredevil like a decade ago and I've never seen Superman & Lois so I don't really know what you're talking about.

  • how do you deal with those characters fully convinced a job is something you have to enjoy?

    跳过

  • I think the question is easier to answer if you remove the specific reason this coworker is annoying.

    How do you deal with someone who bothers you with annoying, unwanted conversation about job satisfaction? The same way you deal with someone who bothers you with annoying, unwanted conversation about CrossFit or astrology. You answer every question with some version of 'Huh, I don't really know. I'm really busy, though, so I can't talk. Have a good day.'

    The whole careerism element seems largely immaterial.

  • It's actually already there.

    Ending US wars is like universal healthcare. Sadly, this is one of those things where the mainstream public consensus is overwhelmingly on our side.

    Which is really scary. This isn't a challenge of shifting the Overton window. It's one of figuring out how to translate the will of the people into government action in what is supposed to be a democracy. 'Cause we already won public opinion, and it turns out that's not where the sticking point is.

  • I'm glad I'm not in Maine. Before Fetterman this would be easier to rationalize away.

    I hope Platner can reassure folks and then serve honorably, because let's be real: despite a lack of known tattoos, I don't think Susan Collins or Janet Mills are actually less extreme. As you've pointed out, support for lawless colonial attrocities is the mainstream, bipartisan consensus.

    This debate we're having, imo, is really over whether the person he is today is a morally coherent champion of humanistic values or if there is no such candidate in this race. Which is kind of a bummer.

    Maybe reread the thread and see if you're saying what you mean to be saying?

  • Luke Cage is way to overpowerd to be a "street level" hero

    跳过

  • I don't think his strength is within an order of magnitude of theirs. I don't think his durability is either.

    Granted, I wouldn't be surprised if you showed me a comic showing otherwise. There's probably a comic where he goes inside a star or something stupid, because there are always those kinds of writers. But based on his typical portrayal, I think he's more of a brush off a car crash and pick it up guy than a survive a nuke and crush coal into diamonds guy.

  • You know, sometimes when the Avengers announce a new inductee I'm like, 'Really?! You think that's a good strategic addition?? This feels more like a popularity contest!'

    Their choices kind of look to me more like a publisher's idea of what will sell books & toys than a cooperative of gifted public servants. But I'm probably just being silly.

    I think it sounds like you might be a danger to yourself.

    I don't know your situation, but I just want to point out two things:

    1. The belief that those around a depressed person secretly don't want them around or would appreciate them more when they're gone is wildly untrue. It kind of sounds like your brain is trying to convince you of this, and you should know that your brain is almost certainly lying. Lots of people know folks who are depressed that we love very much and are grateful to have in our lives.
    2. People who survive suicide attempts consistently experience enormous regret and relief that they survived. They typically describe the experience as terrifying, and report that it felt like someone else was trying to kill them.

    I know that during depression, negative thoughts can make a convincing case that you cannot expect anything to get better, but there are A LOT of people alive today who enjoy their lives who felt the same way at some time in the past. I hope that with support you can perhaps be one of these people.

  • Good for you, and thanks for doing all that! I won't prescribe a specific strategy, but for what it's worth: as soon as I read the news about this today, I went and donated $10.

    I already liked him, but I don't just throw $10 at everyone I like. But I saw this and immediately wanted his campaign to see strong fundraising this week and get the message that they don't need to worry about this kind of thing.

  • Well maybe I'm wrong then. FWIW, you sound confident and credible to me.

    I do agree that it seems obvious that this was sent to CNN by Janet Mills rather than discovered in house. I was just saying that I think this kind of research is easy enough for CNN to do that they could, but I agree that based on the timing of Mills' entrance into the race and the fact that I just don't really expect places like CNN to be that proactive that, yeah, this was absolutely sent to them in an email that probably looked like: "Subject: Anonymous bombshell tip! ; From: PR@ millsforsenate. com"

    I'm curious how it works out. Attacking a guy running as an outsider in Maine for being pro-worker, pro-gun, and fed up with the system kind of sounds like they're misreading the electorate. Like... don't threaten Mainers with a good time, you know?

  • Really? You think so? I could be wrong, but that doesn't seem at all the case to me.

    First, I think a lot of this is just skill. You dig around in the stuff that's publicly known, find usernames and links to old bios, and then start searching for those usernames on every social media site to see if a unique handle appears on OkCupid, PornHub, etc.

    Second, on the resource side, there are tons of data brokers that have a ton of info on all of us. You don't think CNN has $50 to drop on a file filled with tracking data on a senate candidate? I think even broke local newsrooms have access to license plate reader data and leaked medical records and a ton of super personal info. I don't think they tend to use it, because a lot of them are understaffed and it's less cost-effective than just writing up local police blotters and whatever appears on Nextdoor. But I don't think it's hard to get this stuff at all.

  • In the article I saw, it said that the account had identifying information, and the posts were deleted but archived.

    My interpretation is that the campaign of Janet Mills -- his primary rival -- found all of this during opposition research and then sent it to CNN.
