Anything worth doing is worth half assing. If you don’t feel like doing the assignment, sit down and start doing the work, but badly. Don’t check your work or self edit, for reading just skim it. No matter how badly you do it, it’s still going to be better than none of it being done.

Often just starting is enough to get you engaged and do better work. And if it’s not, well, half assed is better than nothing.

Do you think he wasn’t trying to kill him? What people are charged with and what actually happened don’t always overlap.

Seems unrelated to a post about literal attempted murder??

Prison or a psych ward should absolutely be the answer to someone trying to kill a stranger with a hammer because of what they heard on radio/TV. I don’t care how bad someone’s month was if they’re trying to kill me.

God, I hadn’t even thought about how many Trump deepfakes are going to be swindling conspiracy theorists out of their money for years after he dies.

I’m not saying it’s definitely a recovered memory from a past life as an amoeba, but if you did recover a memory from a past life as an amoeba it would probably be a lot like that

He was doing his damnedest to make life unlivable for trans people, I hope he’s rotting in hell. If you want to be treated respectfully in death, don’t be a piece of shit in life.

Btw, he wasn’t found dead. It took him a while to die as the accident was a month ago. If you’re going to make up a story to try to make this dead shithead more sympathetic you could at least read the article.

I’d think being a sensitive human involves thinking of those whose lives he turned upside down and terrorized for the sake of politics, and not just going “but he wasn’t an actual monster living in a cave and had a family 🥺”

My client doesn’t give me a number, but I would estimate it as at least equal to the number you have blocked. Comprised almost entirely of people who are trolls, spam bots, or generally incredibly unpleasant and not who I want polluting my feed.

I don’t think you should be embarrassed by it at all, instances themselves can easily be viewed as curated block lists, as any instance not filled to the brim with internet refuse is going to be blocking at least some instances (along with all the users on it). Adding a few hundred more to it is just fine tuning.

Not sure if I’m correctly understanding what part of my comment you’re confused by, but I’m saying that it’s unsurprising that he is a transphobe who hates libraries because he was a republican. Past tense because he’s dead now.

Since the article decided it wasn’t worth mentioning—as if it wasn’t obvious by the fact he was a republican—he was also full heartedly participating in the witch hunt against trans kids, and also the slow destruction of public libraries.

May his grave be a gender neutral toilet for many years to come. 🙏

And even if local laws don’t require it, insurance companies may still charge you out the ass if you don’t have it and keep the gate shut at all times.

I thought given the subject of the thread it was obvious that I was referring to Trump praising Hitler, not that I was accusing you of praising him.

And given the state of the world, I devote about as much energy to caring about the dehumanization of Hitler as I do for the welfare of Guinea worms. In a perfect world, sure, everyone should have an understanding that everyone is a person and not a cartoon caricature. And that world is never going to exist if you stand around letting presidents praise fucking Hitler.

Damn, if only there was someone in history other than Hitler to praise for investing in infrastructure, speaking charismatically, and being in power while other people built cool buildings. 🤨

Guess we’ll have to ignore the extremely obvious context of praising Hitler for any reason whatsoever, because it’d be terrible to be unnuanced about a mass murdering bigot.

Oh no, they’re leaving Idaho and not paying listing fees? You sure showed them!

I wonder if any Idaho republicans are smart enough to understand that means they’re paying for something liberals are getting for free?

They spent those 50 years convincing half the voting population that evidence doesn’t matter, unfortunately.

Am I allowed to speculate about the mental health of other users as well I wonder, or is that just reserved for mods?

Thanks for the medication info! I’ve been in therapy and currently have a psychiatrist but haven’t focused much on the screaming issue. I’ll bring it up in my next appointment to see if it would work well with my meds.

I assume it must be nightmares, but I usually don’t remember them when I’m woken up. I think it’s PTSD related, but who knows.

One of the most widely-seen tweets promoting the video was also recently deleted. It came from an X user calling himself @TheWakeninq, who uses variations of the name “QAnon76” on other websites. But the video, as BBC journalist Shayan Sardarizadeh noted, had obvious hallmarks of being a deepfake, with distorted facial features and a foreign-accented voice that was out of sync with the speaker’s movements. While the alleged victim is a real person who, according to his social media presence, did graduate from the school where Walz once taught and coached, other videos on his Facebook account capture someone who looks different and speaks with an American accent. According to his Facebook account, the now-adult former student—who did not immediately respond to a request for comment—has previously experienced homelessness; a Gofundme from 2021 said that he was living in Hawaii and trying to “get off the streets.” The video is still up on @TheWakeninq’s Rumble page, where it has been viewed by at least 6,000 people.

This is so premeditated it’s disgusting. They didn’t fart out a fake person with AI, they targeted a real former student of his who they knew probably wasn’t going to hear what they’re using his likeness for due to being homeless. To take someone who is already that vulnerable and use their images for a scam like this needs to result in a prison sentence.

That I will scream in my sleep and have nobody to wake me up, and it’ll be embarrassing at minimum and maybe get the cops called at worst.

The screaming part isn’t hypothetical, it happens pretty regularly.
