Jesus Christ! Look at your own chart and actually read it! Look at the bottom 3 lines. 43%, 46%, 39%. That’s millions of people that you’re straight faced pretending don’t exist.
Maybe the Good Boomers died out
No! They’re right there in your chart! Voting! Protesting! Getting arrested for protesting! Fucking hell!
Did some drift to the right? Sure. But that doesn’t mean that the rest of them cease to exist. The same thing is already happening to your generation, whatever it is. If you happen to be one of the measly 46% still on the left when you’re in your 70’s, I’m sure you won’t have any complaints when people tell you that you don’t exist, anymore. I mean, 46% of 30ish million people is only… what… 5 or 6 people? Maybe a dozen at most? I don’t know, you do the math.
Every protest I’ve been to so far this year (Hands Off, May Day, multiple Saturday mornings in front of the Tesla dealership, plus a few others) has been overwhelmingly people between 50 and 80. Where were all the younger generations at? I can tell you from personal experience where some of them were. They were driving by flipping us off. Where were you?
the people most likely to be his fans are boomers
Be careful there. You’re dangerously close to falling into the trap of blindly labeling anyone older than you a “boomer” and using the term disparagingly to paint a broad stroke that isn’t justified.
According to Wikipedia, Baby Boomers are the generation “often defined as people born from 1946 to 1964 during the mid-20th century baby boom that followed the end of World War II.”
They are followed by Generation X, which is “generally defined as people born from 1965 to 1980”
“Born in the USA” was recorded in 1984
The oldest “boomers” at this point were nearing 40 years old. Some of the oldest Gen Xers were already in college. So one could easily argue that most of his fans are probably Gen Xers.
and the people most likely to get mad about him, are of the boomer generation.
Here’s a few things that the “boomer generation” is known for that you may not be aware (just to barely scratch the surface).
Bruce Springsteen (a boomer) has never been shy about his views on these kinds of things. His actual fans are fully aware and still fans. This isn’t him surprising them with some radical statement out of nowhere. This is him reminding them of what they already knew and asking them to continue to fight the good fight.
ETA: Another notable boomer was arrested this week protesting a congressional hearing.
Problem is that Lemmy/Fediverse simply doesn’t have the established depth and breadth of information that reddit does yet, and reddit does have it because it sort of killed the internet forums that would have existed foe those subjects.
That’s the problem OP is asking you to help solve.
Musk’s shitty behavior aside, it’s extremely overvalued. I don’t understand what people are thinking.
Fiduciary duty alone should have been enough to stop them buying a long time ago. When the stock price finally comes back to earth, there will be lawsuits galore.
“We don’t have to show you anything,” one agent reportedly shot back when asked for ID or a warrant.
“The crowd was unruly,” police said in a statement, claiming several individuals “put their hands on federal agents and Worcester officers.”
There’s no reason to believe that they’re federal agents if they refuse to show ID. And there’s no law against putting your hands on gang members kidnapping one of your neighbors while impersonating federal agents. These dipshits are out of control and fucking stupid.
That’s not very typical.
You were the one that brought passengers into the conversation.
The last one gets my vote. 👍
Set aside that day on your calendar to go to the nearest mass protest to you.
I feel like this is really poor OPSEC to be posting this. Remember that when you share info with the world, you’re sharing it with the Russians.
Maybe it’s just that Trump’s tiny mind can only hold one thought at a time, so it fixates on the last thing that was said to him.
There is no shortage of evidence to support this this conclusion.
But it’s also possible that he is being actively manipulated by foreign actors
This too. No reason both can’t be true at the same time.
As a consumer, PublicSquare’s website is easy to use. You just enter your ZIP code
Where? In the search box I just get a few products that happen to have my zip code in their description (not as a zip, but as a product number or something). Other comments here mention a map, but I’m not seeing that.
Edit: Found it. It’s really buried.
When you surround yourself with “yes men” that are afraid to challenge your choices because your snowflake ego might erupt, then you’ve got nobody you can count on to warn you when you’re about to do something really stupid.
There’s no radio, no Bluetooth, and no speakers of any kind beyond for those required to play basic warning chimes.
Many will consider this a cost-cutting step too far, but the interior was designed for ease of upgrading, with easy mounting space for anything from a simple soundbar to a full sound system.
There’s an integrated phone mount right on the dashboard, but there’s nothing stopping you from bringing something even larger. I expect the low-cost Android tablet and 3D-printing communities to have a field day coming up with in-car media streaming solutions.
a typically male-dominated and controversial Mexican music genre that’s soared into the spotlight in recent years.
The male-dominated part seems to make this an excellent choice considering the subject of her song. Not being familiar with it though, I wondered what makes it controversial. If anyone else is curious about that part…
Quintana’s new music goes further. She uses “corridos,” a type of northern Mexican ballads that has seen both an international renaissance and a backlash, with critics claiming that “narco corridos” — songs that glorify cartel violence and use misogynistic lyrics – have dominated the form.
The topic has grown so heated that the United States even revoked the visas of members of one band who projected the face of a drug cartel boss onto a large screen during a performance.
Instead of banning the corridos as a growing number of Mexican states have done, the country’s first woman president, Claudia Sheinbaum, has proposed that the government promote a new style of corridos that avoid glorifying violence and discrimination against women.
“We’re not banning a musical genre; that would be absurd,” Sheinbaum said recently. “What we’re proposing is that the lyrics not glorify drugs, violence, violence against women or viewing women as a sexual object.”
a bumper sticker that says, “Have the day you voted for,”
Want!
Cost of doing business.
For LLMs, yes.
But, theoretically, AI should be extremely good at sifting through mountains of data, and much faster than all other methods we have, identifying which data a human should take a closer look at. That’s what I presume this paper supposedly demonstrated.
My guess here is that a lazy student decided to take the easy path and fake data to “demonstrate” results that nobody would be surprised by and want to look closer at the data, but somebody looked anyway, probably because the student was a known slacker, and it wasn’t the results of the research that surprised them, but just that the student did the research at all.
