by all means focus on the american one but we are not starved for choices of governments to hate
brother, you dont have to restrict your hate to the American government, nearly ALL of the governments are worthy of uour ire
photo of a white husky dog, taken such that the dog is looking down upon the camera, backlit, having a contemptuous, conceited even, expression on its face
"why do people still get put off by me i put so much effort into becoming affable and less uptight" v.s. the expression i make when someone i dont like asks me a question i know the answer to
i dont want to be too mean but like, these tech morons are 5 minutes away from saying some shit like "i made this ai sit in a room and meditate for me so i can achive nirvana"
honestly even the "good uses" of llms are bullshit. you want ai to take notes for you? did you think the point of note-taking was the words in your notebook? You took notes to force yourself to re-articulate the ideas and highlight things that YOU needed clarification on.
every time war nerds clown on sun tzu i gotta remind them he was writing on how to do economic and political warfare with a focus on logistics for an audience of noble failsons back in the days of warriors walking up to battlefields, listing titles and accolades, and seeking honorable duels
there was a comedian who made a joke about how all these "self made billioaires started with a loan from their family and friends and their garage and loans aside who can even afford a garage these days" and i think about it a lot
any artists got a 2026 calendar? i like having a lil flip calendar for my office wall
when "gym bros" really lock in and get serious do they become "James Beothers"
for the record i consider this to be caused ultimately by gavin mewsom and his war on the homeless policies. people got no where to even be alive, harrased by the police are gonna lash out
i was walking my dog and some homeless lady set the dry plant waste bags outside the community garden on fire, and the fd came by but decided to treat me like a kook and not even check if the embers were still going so i guess i am bringing buckets of water to douse the area now
chilimac :) (tummy hurt :( )
good on Spain for not going along with this bullshit. theres no reason that any country, even an ally, should give up the lives of its troops, the safety of its territoty, and soverignty over its land just because its the USA wants to do another unilateral war of agression.
did a lil doodle in response to discord friends threatening to steal my dog during the night
HAAAAAND IN FACTUALLY INCORRECT HAAAAAAAND
omg i need that ngl
i wont ask you to look into AB-1263 because i get that other people feel differently about firearms, but it continues the trend of creating a 2 tiered system where corporate/government interests have access to a higher unrestricted tier, while the public is funneled into a restricted/monitored tier
i know this stuff is small potatoes in the context of other news but look up AB 1043 (requiring operating systems to build a profile of the user with age verification) & AB-2047 (requiring 3d printers to have spyware to attempt to detect ghost guns), and see if your representatives have supported em
I really don't know if the average Californian knows how much ink is spilled on carving out special little exceptions in our gun laws for not only cops, but ex-cops to be better armed than the public, and even our soldiers and natnl guardsmen in their civilian life.
If the DNC type politicians get theyre way everything will go the way of John Deere tractors, where we cant do maintenance as regular as an oil change without lugging your gear to a dealership and getting proprietary monopolized service.
It used to just be guns, and i accepted that CA has a different relationship to the 2nd amendment (which for the record i consider illigitimate so long as POTUS can override the govorners authority over the CDF), but theyre coming for your ECU, your 3d printers, and now your operating system.
i usually think that a lot of the "california is overregulated" stuff is kind of cope, or just people who dont understand that bigger states have different needs. But in a number of my hobbies things keep getting locked down to only government and corporate approved pathways.
i want to doomscroll but i need to do chores and homework and walk the dog
i think the most important thing most of us can do is shut down any coworkers or uncles who try to get all benghazibrained about the centcom guys who have died/ will die in the course of this bullshit
it doesnt make sense to punch someone and blame them for the pain in your fist
and the only available alternative (hostile us takeover) is no more likely to succeed than the usa's last attempts at "nationbuilding" in the region, which after years of quagmire, mercenaries, and warcrimes, ended with the empowerment of ISIS and the Taliban
assasinating a countries officials and bombing its infrastructure to rubble in an unstable and contested region with no plan, no international framework, no committment, no government in exile, nothing is a recipie for chaos, humanitarian disaster, and warlordism
i really think that in this country the public does not know the true consequences of war as we have been safe in the continental usa from any major military threat, but that makes us callous and passive about war being carried out in our name using our taxes and our citizens.
in extreme circumstances yes perhaps its sometines necessary to fight but these foreign incursions kill and kill and kill and for what, to create power vacuums and boost polling data?
