That’s what I was getting at, I was trying to understand the mechanism by which they were doing this

When they say access to social media on smartphones does that mean restricting connectivity to certain sites on devices using mobile IP addresses?

I assume they have no mechanism to remove apps from individual devices.

I don’t care what Shrek thinks

Not really. I didn’t see anything unhygienic in terms of the food people were taking home with them.

When I worked at a grocery store the dairy stock room always had a weird tangy smell. Inevitably product would get spilled, and then cleaned up, but never seemed to be truly clean.

I don’t know OP’s intent but there is a genre of porn where the one person isn’t into it, but it’s not rape. It would be like them playing a video game or washing dishes and being indifferent/unresponsive to the other person having sex with them.

Sorry friend, but if someone is asking a question, telling them to read about it rather than provide the meat of the answer doesn’t seem too helpful.

You’re under no obligation to explain anything to anyone, but if you’re going to take the time to respond why not elaborate?

I don’t get my hair cut that frequently, but to each their own. This was downvoted to zero when I found it, I like to imagine one of the “six months” or “never” guys were responsible.

Yeah, I used to go to a place where they’d schedule me out based on three weeks, which I liked better, but now this new place leaves it to me to remember and schedule myself. I don’t remember, so it’s closer to 4-5 weeks.

I worked with a guy who let his friend tattoo him while they were both on LSD. It wasn’t as long as this, I think it was just one word but it was in this style handwriting.

You’re right it’s bad that they shut down. Does make me wonder about the use of “traitors” since I don’t think tiktok could ever have been considered on the side of the people.

I hope these events result in better lives for Indonesians.

This is helpful, thanks.

You’re right. But the headline is “the days of custom android ROMs are numbered”

After reading the article seems like a sensationalized headline. One of the major ROMs is on hiatus and may never return. And the process of installing custom ROMs is challenging. Not good, frustrating, but different than “soon no one will be able to do this”

I think the main thing is even if they were using the same underlying model (like chatgpt or Claude), they give them different prompts. For example, the one you linked seems more clearly prompted to give you a humorous roast style summary. Just from the screenshot from Reddit I get the impression they gave it a prompt about “you are an assistant for community moderators who are evaluating what course to take with a user” or something like that.

To be clear, the link you’re sharing is not what reddit is using

“You’re Pagliacci”

I think it would have worked better if the comment wasn’t prefaced with “it’s cute you think” which is inherently insulting.

The meme is already self deprecating, like “haha things aren’t looking good for me” so they’re aware of the situation. It’s just heaping an insult and bad news on someone who already is experiencing a negative outlook.

Do you mean the redistricting in Texas? That’s why the Dem reps left the state, because they know they would lose the vote, but if they deny “quorum” (aka that there’s enough people to hold a session of the legislature) then a vote can’t be held.

This same thing actually happened in Texas back in 2003, but the Dems caved that time. Article: https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/texas-redistricting-quorum-flight-time-warp

The people we send to Congress have to answer to voters. We’ve seen how little resistance elites and organizations have put up, even ones ostensibly on our side.

“Our” representatives who come from gerrymandered districts will owe their seat to party leaders, not the voters. So they will cater to those leaders, not voters.

Would they take some actions which counter Trump? Yes. Will they take drastic actions to actually prevent further fascist advances? Probably not. Because most Democratic leaders are out of touch and answer to big donors. They’re not going to pack the supreme court, they’re not going to make DC a state, etc.

I’m a little sympathetic to Newsom’s talk about a referendum vote on having gerrymandered districts only for five years. But I think if he moves ahead with that it should be tied explicitly to what Texas does. If Texas passes their crooked map then the California map is revised too, otherwise nothing happens.
