Either way, Dr Beverly Crusher would be aroused.

“Just another black man committing suicide by hanging” -Georgia authorities

Seriously?! SERIOUSLY?!!

What a joke.

Oh no! That means he’s down to only seven/eight other wars he’s resolved, right?

Let’s go through them:

• Albania and Aberbaijan - he meant Armenia and Azerbaijan; and according to their leaders he might have actually played a part in this in spite of his comical geographic gaffs. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt on this one. ✔️
• Albania and Thighland - he probably meant Cambodia and Thailand, in which case his ceasefire fell through, and the one that actually took wasn’t due to him. ❌
• Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda - not resolved despite his claims, fighting still continues. ❌
• Israel and Iran - you can’t call heavily tipping the scales for one side as brokering peace; plus it looks like he’s unilaterally dragging the US into a new conflict with Iran. ❌
• India and Pakistan - India doesn’t acknowledge the US played a significant part in peace talks, so this can’t really be counted. ❌
• Israel and Hamas - this one could only be considered a success if you’re Israel. But even then, it hasn’t done anything to prevent the genocide in Gaza, and now he’s just angling to exploit all that ‘empty’ land for himself and his cronies. ❌
• Ethiopia and Egypt - there’s hasn’t been war here for ages, so it’s a false claim. ❌
• Serbia and Kosovo - relations remain strained, and no peace agreement was signed. ❌

The other kid was really just giving him some valuable life coaching. Though someone who wears Mets spyware and trolls other people for online views is almost certainly untrainable.

I think they still have one member who’s been there from the beginning (Neal Schon). But they are getting really close to meeting OP’s criteria.

I thought 2025 was supposed to be “the moment” for AI PCs. Dell and other manufacturers were sure as hell spamming the shit out of that premise in their incessant online ads. But then it all fell through because of the sagging economy on Main Street, and the fact that many people didn’t like AI being forced down they’re proverbial throats. So yeah, 2026 won’t be any better for this ill-thought out marketing strategy.

Claims against Wesley Dingus came from teen who had been staying at his residence and hid camera in bedroom

That is a very unfortunate last name.

Oh okay. Looks like World Book is still printing encyclopedias though.

Sounds like you’re talking about an old-school encyclopedia book collection. Like Encyclopedia Britannica. They take up a lot of physical space and sing if the information becomes outdated quickly. But they are a great source for history, geography, science, etc. And you might be able to find them second-hand from an online seller for a relatively reasonable price.

Four-year-old Konstantin wanted to be reunited with his favorite stuffed animal, Stitch from the Disney movie “Lilo & Stitch,” which had been confiscated when officers detained them.

Poor kid! They wouldn’t even let him keep his plushie while he was locked in a giving concentration camp! I’m glad he and the rest of his family are heading back to something more like a normal life. Hopefully they can keep it that way and get over this trauma. But sadly, I’m not holding my breath about that.

“I don’t know if they’re real or not… I can tell you he gave classified information.”

If he doesn’t know if they are real or not, how does he know if Obama gave out classified information?

Ohh right. Common sense and logic don’t apply here. I forgot.

Edit: fixed a typo.

Good point. Hopefully it works for his friend.

I was talking in more general terms. Most of the time people don’t want to open their mind to a different perspective. That’s awesome that OP’s friend is bucking that trend!

The Brainwashing Of My Dad?

Yeah, that’s a good one.

The problem is the recipient has to be receptive to their bias and intolerance. And most either aren’t or actively revel in it.

Sounds about right, unfortunately.

I read a bit of the article and watched most of the YouTube video embedded in it. It’s definitely worth a read/watch.

The video narrator keeps going back to the argument “they didn’t tell the agents to do XYZ!” Yeah no shit, that’s the whole point behind agents! They are autonomous and extrapolate actions based on the situation they find themselves in. The implication the guy is trying to make is that these agents are sentient, which is a stretch and a bit misleading.

But… it’s still a really interesting series of exercises. Especially the Minecraft one. And if nothing else it gives researchers pointers about how they can improve agent decision-making, and everyone more insight into how they operate.

Ring’s controversial, AI-powered “Search Party” feature isn’t intended to always be limited only to dogs, the company’s founder, Jamie Siminoff, told Ring employees in an internal email obtained by 404 Media.

No. In America it will also be used to track brown- and tanned-skinned people for ICE to harass.

What a time to be alive! /s

Good article.

Having seen the photo in the article about their hoop house, I can see why the city considered it a greenhouse. Hell, that thing is bigger than most residential greenhouses I’ve seen.

But what kind of a miserable shrew of a neighbor snitches on something like that?! It’s a fucking greenhouse! Big deal!

It’s awesome that this lady and her husband put that much work in and got so much success growing their own veggies. Like the article says, they are great examples to their kids, and to other people. If one of my neighbors went all-in like that I’d be cheering them on and getting inspired by them.

It’s also sad that race seems to be an issue. But not unsurprising, if true.

Residential food gardens will continue to become an increasingly important and popular topic. With food prices rising and food quality declining, people will gravitate to it, like this family did. It’s one thing if you’re growing food on an industrial level in your yard. But few people are and will be doing that. Zoning permits should be relaxed a big in these cases.

Hmm, interesting. Thanks for the insight.

“It’s a very empathetic place,” she says of Reddit. “For my wedding, I’ve found help emotionally, logistically and inspiration-wise.”

Empathetic? Really?! On reddit?!!

Don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of good people still using it. But there are a ton of assholes and trolls poisoning a lot of discussions, deliberately antagonizing people, or derailing conversations with pedantic bullshit.

If she thinks Reddit is empathetic she’d be blown away by most of the Fediverse.

Another facial snack for the leopards.

Put some be damn clothes on, Kevin!
