Came in to say this lol. Previous poster is right on my intent and correction, but god damn am I tired of this Nazi shit.

Fairly successful strategy I’ve been using lately is to out-crazy the red team and feed em their own medicine. No one here needs to be told the libertarian party is just Far Right Lite™, but do you know their selling points? Cuz there is no chance in HELL I’ll be able to convince a Trumpanzee to vote for Biden, but I have been able to steer a handful of votes away from Trump and toward Chase Oliver - usually goes down like this: MAGAt will open the conversation by bitching about someone on the blue team - such as Hillary and her emails. I’ll AGREE with them, but lump her and Trump into the same category… “Idk how they get away with sending classified data on a private email server or printing it out and hauling boxes of it to their private residence. If I did hundredth of the crime Trump or Hillary committed, I’d spend the rest of my life in jail!”. Bitch about how both parties are doing the bare minimum just to stay in power etc; then start pitching 3rd as an alternative option.

‘Both sides’ em, and change their vote to “not trump” by pitching whichever 3rd most closely aligns with their impressionability (which is pretty much always the LP). Put the spoiler effect to good use.

And be weary of folks doing the same to you, especially here on Lemmy with all the ‘genocide Joe’ shit or encouraging apathy because of the shit debate.

Your feet and head are both very vascular, so cooling them will help lots to cool the rest of you.

Head -

Ever been buzzed or bald before? If no, now could be the time to give it a shot. Worse case scenario, you look like shit and let it grow back to whatever’s the shortest length that looks decent. Bonus: you’ll save a ton of time and money on hair cuts/care.

Keep a container of water water and washcloths in your fridge. Take a cloth out when it’s time to veg on the couch, and slap it on your noggin. When it dries, grab a new one. *recommend not throwing used ones back in the water w/o washing first, or your water will get nasty fast.

• If you decide to go buzzed and have never done it before, PROTECT YOUR NOGGIN/SCALP FROM THE SUN. Burns up there hurt like a mofo.

Feet -

This is trading heat discomfort for wet sock discomfort; but if that’s a fair trade, then… yeah, wet your socks with cold water. A tub a cold water at the base of your couch can give you something to dip in while you’re watching TV or something. Same spiel as the wash cloths - keep your socks/water/tub clean and don’t reuse without washing first, or you’ll get yourself trenchfoot or some nastiness.

Also, if you’re in an apartment that disallows window units… they fit great in a fireplace, and the hot air just vents up the chimney. Your lease likely doesn’t say anything about fireplace units. Just sayin’. Just make sure to seal the edges really well so hot air doesn’t leak back into your living space.

Yeah, by Yahoo… fuckin assholes.

IT WAS SO GOOD! It was better in like 2010 than shit like discord is today.

Would be an incredible product today if it continued to receive development (w/o enshitification ofc).

It’ll almost be like having xFire again!

…I miss that software. IIRC they were bullshit-litigated out of existence.

Maybe just a swamp?

When a dragon hoards the people’s gold, the solution isn’t to give it more gold.

Buldak don’t fuck around with heat. I’ve had the 2x, and a pretty decent tolerance to spiciness, and it was hotter than my comfort zone.

To an extent, heat boosts flavor; but passed that, it’s just heat for the sake of heat.

…not that that justifies a recall, but they ARE hot as fuck.

It’s like gambling except it’s considered classy instead of trashy.

Part of me wants to give the driver the benefit of the doubt… he looked more stunned than the judge. Idk how the process normally works - never had my license suspended - but I’m wondering if the cop that pulled him over initially told him to Zoom for his “traffic citation” or something and the dude legit had no idea his license was suspended?

I mean, he could just be stupid, but either way it doesn’t actually look like he meant to break the rules during that call.

Corrupt politicians, corrupt law makers, and billionaires get a gram of francium magicked into the center of their brain.

All religious writing becomes saturated with an enzyme that dissolves the paper; hard drives with religious text saved to it become filled with the strongest magnetic material known, destroying their contents and shorting every circuit within; religious carvings are filled in with the missing material, etc. All of it, gone. Attempts to recreate get the francium. Attempts to spread it verbally get a few drops of water in the trachea.

Then it’s straight to NASA to demonstrate the ability and put it to work doing things like manifesting materials in space and otherwise following the guidance of people much smarter than myself.

His name is Blizzard.

Blind Guardian, Wheel Of Time

Meh, worse case scenario they drive us to extinction. We’ve had the wheel this far, and are doing our best to set the planet on fire / speed run different ways to mass murder each other anyway. I say give the robots a shot.

Think of it like an experimental medication on a terminally ill patient.

Humans go extinct; orangutans evolve to become the chillest high intelligence in the history of the universe.

Well no… but also yes!

Sorry, initial post was meant to be more cheeky than anything else: Basically saying AI folks like OpenAI have seriously damaged the quality of Google’s search results, and in doing so established demand for a new search option… and now they’re announcing a competitor to Google.

One foot (google) was shot to shift traffic over to the other (whatever this new shit is). Wasn’t meant to imply Google is in on it… the reddit analogy might just be muddying the waters, but the analogy was reddit as a company to search engines as a category.

It’ll herd users to the new product. It’s like when reddit enshittified its mobile web page to move folks to its app. Both reddit; but they shot themselves in one foot to shift weight over to the other foot.
