This is a no-go for me. I was planning to buy some low level Chinese officials and have them promoted through the ranks over the next 20-30 years until I control all of China but the tariffs make the investment impossible for me to justify to my shareholders at the next hourly earnings call.

Seeing how easily this dweeb took control of the money power printing machine might start giving people ideas

Plain cheerios. Tasteless, fortified with vitamins, and just lacking in protein

I like it!

I’m waiting for it to finish loading before I pass judgement on if this is a badpost

Stalin should’ve used waves but he was too much authoritarian tankie horseshoe 😔

Confirmed that google AI gave a 10/10 summary of harry potter

God I hope AI starts making foreign policy decisions its going to make the current 4d chess claims look like coin flips

I asked an AI and it said

The joke is a play on words and emphasis.

The first frame asks someone to say “I’m a security guard,” which they do.

The second frame asks them to say “I’M a security guard” with emphasis on “I’m.” However, given the context of the “Do Not Disturb” sign on the door, the phrase “I’M a security guard” sounds like “I am a security guard,” implying the person inside the room is claiming to be a security guard, perhaps to deter someone from entering.

It’s a lighthearted and humorous way to poke fun at the idea of someone trying to sound authoritative or intimidating.

The same instance that preemptively defederated hexbear as a last resort. They’ll allow dissenting views only if they agree with their hitlerian agenda and exhaust anyone to the left of Reagan

Definitely feel this too. My kid once told me “you like being angry at me” when we denied snacks and caused us to have to reasess how we were communicating. Its a very hard cycle to break and will not happen naturally.

Thanks for the book rec as well!

The timing with metas change is a little on the nose. Lemmy.fed. Also lmao at using flat earth as an example. Reality isn’t real if u think about it we’re all just vibes vibing each other to choose different vibes

Bidens fat poops are for imperial citizens ONLY. Sorry China you gotta find the right gut microbiome and manufacture it yourself if you want in on the secret sauce.

Y’all remember that user linking endless www.yourlogicalfallacyis.com links to everyone? This was a warm reminder of some dedicated debate perverting

We usually stick to more expensive lactaid milk or plant based milks for the kids for the longer expirations and dodging lactose intolerance issues. The price difference is pretty big but worth the convenience IMO.

Daycare is incredible there were a few days we had just one kid+baby in the house over the holidays and its exhausting when they don’t have anyone else with their same energy levels to play with

The borderlands game Tiny Tina’s wonderland or w/e had this AND it wouldn’t reset the sound to your preferences until the main menu loaded every time.

I remember nothing else about this game other than the permanent ear damage I suffered.

Other replies cover it better, but I tend to fall back on a little toxic stoicism for coping. Climate change isn’t going to be a light switch, things will change over time. You, me and our children are going to adapt to it. My middle kid is happy with a bowl of rice and running around outside, if we need to adjust to digging an underground mud hole while eating tree roots, well still eek out a good time somehow.

But nothing happens in decades
