That’s a beautiful shot. The colors are amazing… No adjustments - the stinkhorn really is that shade?

Nice!

Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn.

She’s beautiful… and mean with a Banuk Powershot or Gravesinger’s Lament bow.

We’ve got to make certain that Mr. Trump hears, reads and sees a LOT about President Stephen Miller on the internet.

The comeuppance for all of this after the mid-terms is going to be frightening to ICE…

If (and this is a big IF) the mid-terms happen, vote.

Burning a flag is a jailable offense now? Really?

Oh dear… - is the Departmet of War now telling Americans to break the law?

Saw this one rolling out in slow-motion some 20 years ago when HCA bought out Columbia Hospital systems.

F’kin awful. We so need a single payer to leverage equity out of the picture. (actually private equity needs to die because the billionaires are taxed again, like they used to be in the 1950’s - when America was (for some things) great.

Jazz 2.0 just dropped

LOL!

That or Progressive Acid Folk.

Dad joke for coders? Ooooo… you!

Ain’t that the truth.

If you pull up the ewg.org working map of the perflouro- contaminated sites in the country, it’s horrifying.

Thing is, if the Pro Publica article is correct, these chemicals are afflicting male reproductive viability at the EXACT same time the Trump Administration’s cabinet is filed with natalist-leaning advisors… and they just don’t see it as going into part of why men are fathering fewer children.

They lay the blame on feminism and the birth control pills.

Thing is, globaly, male fertility has been falling for decades. Wanna bet part of it is tied to chemical exposure?

But… we won’t go there…

A 56 y/o half-brother that I would do almost anything for and a step-sister that… well… whatever.

Look at the demographic of any “left” and you generally find kids that don’t understand how societal power works.

Taking a few classes on sociology and reading Marx is fine and all that, but they need to understand the framework of conformist, consumerist America and leverage that… and as it’s anathema to what Marx says… they’ll forever be smacking their heads against the walls.

Then they grow up and become Wall Street brokers.

Sause: Am 60, and have seen this same shit happening over and over - for decades.

This is it exactly.

And I kind of like that there are no total upvote/downvote stats tied to our accounts.

Prevents karma farming so it disinclines the behavior to rage-bait or post controversial items for attention.

(Remember u/unidan? Guy karma farmed hugely and eventually got rumbled creating some brouhaha over the difference between crows and jackdaws. Absolute stupidity that got the better of him…)

The content is more the focus here…

A face so ugly, the dog won’t play with him.

Thing is, it’s not half as ugly as he is on the inside.

Read a bit of history on him, the guy is massively fucked up, and I wonder what secret trauma he’s got that made him like he is. It goes beyond just being a young man that was angry at the world and has grown bitter as he’s aged.

It’s likely something emotionally crippling and so traumatic that he will never face it.

Unfortunately, the violence directed at them is what many on the right and even Trump himself want, because it will be used as a pretext to interfere in the mid-term elections coming in 2026.

I mean, they’re going to try anyhow, and stirring up shit will just give them that much more leverage to do so.

As rage-inducing as Trump is, just biding ones time and voting and getting everyone you know to vote in the mid-terms for the Democrats - even if the candidate is an absolute stinker - is what is needed to put the brakes onto this administration.

The weird thing is apparently, I wasn’t allowed to delete my account last night. I thought I did, but I went back not too long ago and on a lark, signed in again. Account’s empty of all my unarchived posts - since I deleted it all, but I still have access. Think I’m going to see if the PM’s work and just start hoovering interesting articles and items from there. WTF, it’s not like I didn’t bring content to the site… Gonna take the best of it back and bring it here. Fuck it.

I think it’s James Corden… used to do a show where he’d drive people around in a car and sing? Carpool Karaoke?

Something like that. I wonder who he pissed off…

I was a 14 years long redditor that was more into the arts and graphics and from the time of the IPO, my feed pivoted to much more rage-bait content and subs appearing on my homepage that were completely unknown to me. Definitely some site-wide fuckery going on, that’s changed the nature of that beast. Moreso now since they have corporate investors and within the last week or so, a whole bunch of bad reports about the data not being used for AI training as much as they hyped it up. Methinks they’re pivoting to the right in order to appease their investors…

AI, maybe, but upheld by a person upon appeal.

I honestly think those appeal responses are bullshit and no one is actually reading them. Maybe paid members will have their appeals looked at but I doubt anyone else does.

That is what happened to me… the bots banned me within a minute for a metaphorically based - though salty - post. 14 years.

Thing is, I noticed a change in the algorithm not too long after the IPO since my homepage started in with more rage-bait subs and many were ones I’d not visited or even heard of. It was subtle but also kinda disheartening. I decided to manually delete all of what I could and as I was going through the posts I noticed that the art subs I used to go to had all but disappeared on my home page.

I used to go to photoshopbattles all the time and as I was scrolling my home pages, it was nowhere to be seen. Nor was AppleHelp, VintageApple or MacPro…

Delete all your Reddit bookmarks and favorites and find a lemmy community to launch yourself into. I picked gaming and a few news ones and so far, it’s fine… Even moreso that I found the old.lemmy.zip page and it’s comfortable to me as I was dedicated to old.reddit and RES.
