If it's effective, it will only be for the wealthy. If it's a mixed bag, the wealthy will decide who gets it. If it's a placebo or nearly so, it'll be everywhere and cheap.

Well better local than cloud if it does what you need.

Once you establish a particular measurement as a goal, one of the first things people do is game the measurement, making it less useful.

And so it goes.

I appreciate the tip.

The fact that he does this, I think, means he probably has something unsightly going on with his skin. Age spots, vitiligo, something. His crazy hair is to cover up the balding, so I'm sure the spray tan fixes something that can only look way worse.

Seems like someone felt really threatened by some boxes with a handful of words in them. It must suck to be that fragile.

Just stop with the conspiracy bullshit. If you believe none of it, you'll be right 98% of the time. There's not much else in life with such certainty.

Looks around.

Nothing has changed in Michigan from when Kamala was up by 7. I see a few more trump signs than I did 6 months ago, but nothing like in 2020.

Trump isn't winning in Michigan.

Did they run up with tears in their eyes? Shouting, "Sir! Sir!"?

I usually call them boards when I can't remember the name "community". There are lots of kinds of community. An instance might well be a community if you are browsing local. Board is shorter and my brain wants to use that word anyway.

I'm certain that video probably got a lot of likes from folks who didn't get the irony which is probably why the algorithm associated you watching it with that crowd. (Also I'm really sus about the whole "joking about being a hateful prick" industry, but I'll assume your assessment is spot on here.)

I would've upgraded to 11, but either my computer doesn't support TPM or I just refused to turn it on. So instead I upgraded to Ubuntu. There are probably better distros but I had a limited about of time to fuck around trying them.

Mint is pretty nice, too. It felt familiar, as a windows user. But I kept installing stuff that broke the updater. So I switched and found it's me, not the updater, and I just need to do apt update/upgrade and dpkg -i regardless, but anyway now I'm on Ubuntu.

I still have my full windows install on an SSD somewhere if I had an emergency, but I haven't had any such emergency in about a year.
