ah seems like someone here edited and updated the wiki after i posted this

thought a pertinent article like that would be half-decently kept up with seeing it's pretty much the only mainstream non-paywalled source that comes up when you google 2024 3rd party access, but guess not

i'm unironically in a uni class where our weekly discussion posts (ie have to write 3 short paragraphs a week) are graded by AI. professor says the system should give full credit if it can tell what you're saying has some substance and is relevant to the weekly text, but it often seems like when i write something original it gives my reply a C and when i say anything buzzwordy and devoid i get an A

phone's browser (safari) had 1.2GB of website data in my local storage, nearly 1.1GB of that was hexbear??

when i deleted the hexbear data safari took up 90% less storage, have i just been that much of a chronic lurker or is more data being stored than should be? i promise i use other websites

it's not 20-30% of them, it's +20-30 net percentage points which means a majority or at least plurality want it (eg if 60% of ppl support it, 30% are against it, 10% don't know, then 60% - 30% = +30 pts)

probably had a bunch of assholes spending weeks making a 300 page marketing report on why they chose roboto over arial while earning 7 figures

looked up his religious beliefs and it seems he's an atheist/agnostic who subscribes to christianity solely for the vibes and his western world fetish

Elon Musk announced that he's a “big believer in the principles of Christianity” and “a cultural Christian”. Musk's reasons are moral and political – he believes Christianity can boost both happiness and birthrates.

the other day my 70s born dad got pissy when i asked him if movie theaters had color when he was a teenager

people who say that have either never owned a cat or never truly tried to bond with theirs. my cat rubs on me and purrs when i'm crying, guards the bathroom door when i'm taking a shit, and freaks out meowing and scratching on the door like i'm drowning when i shower

she also has full on separation anxiety from me even though my mom's the one who feeds her and stuff. the first couple weeks i was away for college she got depressed and full on neglected herself, not eating as much and looking mangy because she barely groomed herself. last time she heard my voice over the phone she meowed and searched the house all confused :/

communism is when the government does stuff. communist = authoritarian. aspiring strongman leader = communist

implied that natural gas was a renewable energy source

literally something i've only heard from ultraconservative climate denialists

"This debate swayed my vote"

1 in 4 yes

do they just..not know what sway means?

most americans are heavy into the "we do not negotiate with terrorists" fantasy

she's an immigrant who was raised by muslim refugee parents, definitely about to be fodder for swiss fash who'll ignore the fact she's agnostic

i'm expecting to see dozens of social media clips captioned "Kamala served BRAT 💚🥥" and edits of her to charli xcx and other mediocre popstars

phone or work phone that gives email notifications? i feel like that'd be a lot more convenient seeing they could wait 5 minutes vs having to immediately drop whatever they're doing for a call

they mean draw what ur dick looks like cumming i think. this was in our library bathroom btw

he's definitely not losing in every swing state, most of the polls are super close to margin of error and trump's gotten several leads. 538 simulates their odds of winning the electoral college:

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2024-election-forecast/

right now they give trump a 44-in-100 chance of winning. that's basically a coin toss, and it looks like his odds improved a bit in the past week

for comparison, before 2020 election day they gave biden a 89-in-100 chance of winning and in 2016 gave trump a 30-in-100 chance

supporting a ceasefire does not at all mean you're pro-palestine. most EU countries voted for the UN deal months and months before all while supporting israel. plenty of zionists want a conditional deal where israel's hostages are returned and palestine's colonial subjugation and apartheid continue, just not as overtly.

found a poll from this week that 60% of americans support continuing military aid to israel. and you can't assume the 40% against it are against it on principled grounds, many of them are simply isolationists who don't want their taxpayer money going to other countries

thanks, and yeah it's kinda like my brain is running 80mph instead of 100. ngl, i'm a little underwhelmed because i saw all these posts "first time i took adderall my inner monologue was quiet for the first time and i cried," "i was able to do a chore without repeating it in my head 40 times," "i finally felt present and out of my head when talking with someone," etc

not expecting a miracle pill and i know i have to apply myself too, but everything is very subtle and i only feel slightly less scatterbrained. my psych said i seem to have severe ADHD but she wanted to see how it affected my anxiety and insomnia first (all of which it's minorly helped), so now i have to wait another 2 weeks to talk about raising the dose. wish i'd started this earlier but oh well
