Huh, fascinating! I’ve never seen these before!

I’m on Mbin and there is no auto upvote, so every comment/post starts at zero. I could be wrong but I think it actually removes the self-upvote from posts/comments if they have it.

Most swifts won’t use birdhouses. They prefer large structures with hollow cavities, partly due to the increased shelter and partly due to the decrease in competition from other bird species.

They definitely used AI given it hallucinated garbled nonsense onto his scrubs. The original image does look like a picture of a picture, but this was not “corrected” by a human

I don’t think blocking out the sun is the answer to global warming lol

Having lived through 3 partial/total solar eclipses, even a small shift in the amount of light really fucks with the rhythm of the entire environment. Birds stopped chirping entirely at noon last time. We’d just be replacing one form of global disaster with another.

Not to mention we’d end up fully saturating the available orbital space around earth, causing constant satellite crashes and the complete inability to launch rockets through the mesh and debris. At a certain point the satellites would cease to function entirely through all the trash orbiting earth and at that point we’d have essentially walled ourselves off from ever safely exploring space. It’s a terrible idea all around

That uses the non-standard raspbian.might_work_with_the_right_power_supply=prettyplease

Dude linux.works was deprecated a few kernel versions ago in favor of gnu-linux-x86_64-kernel.does_boot to avoid ambiguity and ensure nobody knows what the hell they’re doing anymore

Just RTFM smh

This post is about gcc

I see what you’re getting at, and perhaps my definition of patriotism is more wistful than the reality of it, but I’ve always thought of patriotism as similar to family. You’re more devoted to them because you are closer to them and there’s a certain want to preserve that alongside the places where it happened, y’know? And just like family, sometimes you have to override that devotion when the relationship becomes too toxic to maintain.

I feel like that’s where I’m at with the US. I’ve always been a naturalist at heart and I adore the landscapes of the country in particular, but it’s like a toxic parent. I try my best to pursue reform but I’m nearing a point where I’ll just have to leave and cut my losses. But it is hard because I legitimately do love this country, just…not the government or the people who run it.

The problem ain’t just the Trump administration, it’s systemic and I wish more people here understood that. I just think it would be better for the whole world if the US could get its shit together instead of every person with a moral compass abandoning it to its inevitable doom and the subsequent suffering of everyone too screwed by the system to leave.

I care about the welfare of every living breathing human, but tbh I think fixing the US (however that’s done) would benefit a hell of a lot of people in a whole lot of places. This country’s global military presence is so pervasive and damaging, it’d be nice to put a stop to it.

If the want to truly fix this place makes me not patriotic, so be it, but I’ve always seen that as the definition of patriotic. Maybe I’m just naive tho

I never said that? The difference is as an American citizen I actually have some say in the welfare of Americans but by no means mistake me for a nationalist. I think you may need to touch up on the difference between patriotism and nationalism

Patriotism is defined as “love of country”, yes, but also “devotion to the welfare of one’s compatriots”. I personally believe there is nothing more patriotic than doing everything possible to root out a corrupt and harmful government.

I actually think the USA is a beautiful place and I want to protect it from those who would destroy it. The word you’re thinking of is jingoism, which is honestly a serious problem here

Agreed, also it just looks too natural to be AI. It has real film grain that AI just doesn’t reproduce. The shitty quality is just regular ol’ JPEG compression artifacts too; you can tell because they are cubic instead of weird and blobby like AI. I’d be shocked if this wasn’t real

One thing I like making is Pesto Pasta. It’s just:

• 2 lbs rotini
• 1 cup half & half or heavy cream
• 1 jar pesto
• 3-4 small tomatoes, diced
• (opt.) 1 chicken breast, grilled and chopped

Just boil/drain the pasta, add everything else, stir it together, and you’re done. It’s easy, cheap, and surprisingly good.

I make it with Classico traditional pesto which can be a bit pricier (I think it’s worth it if you have the extra few dollars) but any kind works. I also tend to add salt to the water before boiling the pasta but it can be added later to taste as well. Usually feeds 6-8 people at like $1-2/person.

And it’s also AI

I highly recommend Catbox. It’s free, doesn’t require an account, and has no restrictions except for explicitly illegal content

Gneurshk

Lmao

I love how the new UI is just ripped directly from Discord lol

Fascinating

This is the most cursed thing I’ve ever laid eyes on

I mean you’re not wrong, but assuming everyone is like you is a critical thinking problem, not an American problem. I just think it’s particularly noticeable in Americans because there are a lot of them on the platform and the dumb ones are loud. Doesn’t really seem like a problem worth geofencing an entire nation; just block the idiots.
