Moving parts means more things to possibly go wrong in an attack though. And the things that make it air tight wear so it’s something else to check preferably often.

I just wish there was an alternative. I want to be able to call a welfare check on my neighbors if they are getting physical but the likelyhood that it gets worse instead of better after the cops arive is so high I would never do it.

I meant “turning the excess into heat”.

Because that’s old style rheostats. New ones use triacs. And then there are the ones that directly talk to LED bulbs but I have no clue if those are compliant with code.

Where the hell did you hear that about dimmer switches? That was true years ago but not a single person is installing those on new construction.

He’s not socially liberal though. He’s socially center at best.

These comments make it so clear no one is actually fighting for change they are fighting to go back to not caring about politics. Newsom will throw trans people under the bus and the blue maga will tell us that it’s better than what Trump was doing as he continues on the same path. He’ll kill homeless people by the thousands but it will be ok because at least it’s not trump.

You know what Im not gonna lie. I kept doubling down on a stupid point.

I am absolutely american though unfortunately.

Cognative disonance is a hell of a thing. It’s only ok to eat the “right” things with your hands and I would say most white people would not include burritos in that list. Are we really going to pretend that it hasn’t been a repeated attack on POC that when they eat with their hands it’s “uncivilized”? I’m not saying it’s rational or consistent I’m simply saying it’s a thing I’ve seen people in my personal life do and a thing a congressman got mocked for extremely recently.

How are Republicans so effective as a minority party then? Because people keep saying this ignoring that Republicans have “not had the numbers” within recent memory and been a lot more effective in getting the things that they want done still. Is it maybe because the corpo dems bend over fucking backwards to let the republicans do what the want e.g. Chuck Schumer lieing his ass off and saying they’ll get something they want then voting in a bill that had nothing dems want.

It’s partly that I’m sure and also to dehumanize them further. It’s not mentioned in the article but I would imagine they aren’t given silverware and have to eat with their hands. In american culture it is often seen as a lowly/animalistic thing to eat with your hands*. So they can continue to see them as not human because they “don’t eat like one”.

*see the republican reaction to mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani doing so.

Your large paragraph has so many fallacies I genuinely don’t think you’re being serious.

Also go fuck yourself my rights are literally being stripped away so that corporations can own the government more.

I still can’t believe ancaps are real lmao. It’s the most obviously flawed ideology o have ever seen.

Just look outside and see that this but worse is a terrible idea.

I appreciate people like you. Makes finding people to block so much easier when all I have to do is scroll to verify instead of engage in a conversation then find out that they are not worth talking to half way through.

If anyone is reading this scroll through their comments they have no real opinions and get off on making people mad. Not even worth the thought power to prove them wrong block and move on like I’m doing after sending this.

Maybe not to someone who’s a genocide denier but I don’t think your opinions matter much to most people.

Don’t known don’t really care. A child is dead this isnt a “won’t somebody please think of the children” thing, multiple people have had complete mental breakdowns and will never be the same.

Idk I think if you make something that destroys mental health it becomes your responsibility to fix it.

I think if you are working for the federal government and not actively sabotaging them you are at least complicit.

I think the AI bubble is really close to poping. If they can’t make a profit on it in the next 2 years (maybe sooner with how badly the economy is about to start doing) VC money will dry up and then they will have to up prices dramatically.

There’s a lot of factors I could get into but it seems like they are going to have to start pricing AI use at the very least cost soon.

Fucking source‽ Yes companies do scummy shit with IP all the time but no companies are not reprinting books without paying authors unless there is some crazy contract bullshit.
