Probably just someone traumatized by a sidewall puncture.

I mean forest fire fighters do this sometimes.

Part of the problem is that the images suck. Honestly. Here we see a bunch of body bags, we know literally nothing about who's in them. But on Oct. 7 there were lots of images and video of what happened, with people's faces visible.

The most effective thing that could be done to support Palestinians, infinitely more effective than spray painting neighborhoods and camping in public spaces, would be to give them cameras and a means of releasing video. As long as it's just numbers, no one will care.

X/Twitter has its own data centers, this is for physical equipment under X's control. They need to get a judgment (which the article indicates they're working on) before they can do anything. Presumably after months to years of litigation they can then repossess the servers, but then X would probably at the last minute pay the bill.

Nope, I'm an anti-troll. Trolling is trying to provoke an emotional reaction. I'm trying to provoke a logical reaction.

Yeah it's that terrible, but look at the rest of the world. Putin enjoys a lot of support from the same people he's sending to die, Modi in India wins elections by a large margin on a platform of basically "Fuck Sikhs and Muslims". Add China and basically most of humanity lives under someone who is blatantly racist, corrupt, generally horrible, or a combination thereof. And Western Europe doesn't have a leg to stand on either, the UK ignored dire warnings and voted for Brexit without even understanding what it is.

Humans don't believe what's objectively correct, they believe what they want to believe. This makes feeding people what they want to hear a very successful strategy, and one that psychopaths have an advantage in pursuing.

13% of Democrats agree with Trump on that.

More proof of fake respondents. Basically some people, for whatever reason (depending on the poll it could be financial) just speed run the polls with no thought about what they're clicking on. So it makes any extremely unpopular view appear more supported. I can't find much about how this was done, if it was an online opt-in poll I'd be especially suspicious.

Edit: it seems this was done with a Ipsos KnowledgePanel, which as I suspected is an online, paid, opt-in panel. This is exactly the kind of design that's prone to speed running for cash.

So you admit then, that Palestinians committed an act of genocide against Israel on Oct. 7.

And don't deny it's a genocide, cause you know what that means.

And I should specify that no, I don't seriously take that position. I'm really just here to be an asshole about faulty logic.

Just get drones to drop a trail of food to a POW camp.

Well building battlemechs does seem like the obvious next step on Elon's progression

It really comes down to feature removal. Elon annihilated Twitter's staff, and the more features they can cut, the less staff they need. It may not seem like much to maintain a block feature, and if you have a staff, it's not. But you do need to have probably some sort of blocker backend service, a blocking UI, probably an unblocking UI (I dunno if that's a thing I don't use twitter), storage that keeps track of who blocked who, and somebody who knows how all that works.

Not gonna happen. The 25th Amendment would require a majority of cabinet members to sign off, and Trump will pick them as total loyalists. Trump has control over the party, many of them view him as an infallible prophet. If they haven't turned against him so far, they're not gonna do it later. If Trump gets elected, we're all gonna be along for a ride on the crazy train with him until he dies.

They act like it's somehow makes no sense for Latinos to support Trump, but let's be honest: it makes no sense for anyone to support Trump.

Musk has said that humans drive with only eyesight, so cars should be able to drive with just cameras.

This of course assumes 1) that cameras are just as good as eyes (they're not) and 2) that the processing of visual data that the human brain does can be replicated by a machine, which seems highly dubious given that we only partially understand how humans process visual data to make decisions.

Finally, it assumes that the current rate of human-caused crashes is acceptable. Which it isn't. We tolerate crashes because we can't improve people without unrealistic expense. In an automated system, if a bit of additional hardware can significantly reduce crashes it's irrational not to do it.

"Well by 'Swiss-made' we meant partially made by someone with Swiss ancestry...except replace 'partially' with 'barely' and 'ancestry' with 'Miss'"

It works for me because I'm into a lot of the stuff discussed on Lemmy. My biggest problem with reddit was that at some point they seemed eager to smoosh all the subs together into one big Basic Betty fest. For example having r/all be a mandatory sub and having a million default subs...It kind of felt like towards the end everyone was discussing the same stuff on every sub, and it was basically the same stuff being discussed on Twitter (and many posts were just pics of tweets).

I know Lemmy kinda has some similar issues, but because the whole ecosystem is its own niche it still works for me.

That consciousness is real and not an illusion

Organizational structure and membership of the Chamber of Commerce.

Just deleted Uber from my phone. If they're gonna use my payments to turn around and lobby to keep me locked into subscriptions that don't even involve them, I'm gonna be a lyft guy from now on.

Is it still fraud if no one falls for it?

It all goes back to the negotiation at the start of the country: "We want to vote" vs. "We don't want those people to vote"
