I have no idea who this person is. I have no idea if this is true. But i need to at least think there are people like this in the world. Especially right now. So I NEED stories like this.

politics @lemmy.world•Bipartisan group of senators introduces legislation to avert looming Social Security shortfallEnglish
17·22 hours agoI have a solution. Well several actually…
- Stop spending trillions on unnecessary wars and military budgets.
- Raise the stupidly low social security cap (currently $184k … so like actually fucking make the rich pay for shit)

261·2 days agoThe United States government has returned $81 billion to businesses….
…. that consumers paid for and now the business just made extra profit.
Pretty sure that was the plan all along.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Did you attend your high school reunion? Why or Why not?English
2·3 days agoMost of the people I went to high school with I don’t give two shits about. Maybe 3-4 of them do I care about. I don’t need a reunion for them. Hell like me they wouldn’t go anyway. In my opinion, reunions are either for people who peaked in high school and wanna relive that adoration or want to brag about their life to people who looked down on them in high school. I didn’t peak in high school nor would I want to brag to people I don’t care about their opinions.
I guess you could just want to see how people turned out is another option. Maybe I’d like to verify a few bullies that I’d bet died of alcoholism in their 40s.
But no I wouldn’t, and haven’t, gone.

2·4 days agoThey’d probably charge you like the olympian that picked up a piece of floating rubber. And yes, what a bunch of fucking babies.

politics @lemmy.world•Are you ready for what it takes to stop ghost guns? New laws in California and New York might stop anyone from 3D printing guns — and create entirely new kinds of surveillance.English
2·4 days agoI hadn’t really considered this but this does make a lot of sense. Poor people don’t have 3D printers or cnc machines.

1·4 days agoThey should have sold it at $2.97
250th anniversary + 47. Oh wait most of them can’t do math …

21·4 days ago- Pretty sure we were down one already.
What are these monstrosities
Edit: They are Snap Specs. The exec that greenlit these things should be publicly humiliated.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Before satnav we'd need to use an A-Z, we would learn the route and eventually not need the A-Z. With satnav I can drive to the same place 5 times and I don't know the route. This is AI today.English
4·5 days agoWell it’s just normal for me. The UI should allow fixed orientation for what ever direction you want. The rotation is the problem. Nobody would ever rotate a map like that.

Technology@lemmy.world•Claude Code Is Steganographically Marking RequestsEnglish
18·5 days agoYeah I thought steganography was hiding messages in images.
Ok I just looked it up, apparently it can be anything. Images, audio, video, or even text.
I remember I had this Perl module once that would convert passwords into a binary string and then convert that string into spaces and tabs. Looked like a blank file. I guess that was technically steganography.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump says he’ll ask Supreme Court to rehear birthright citizenship caseEnglish
2·5 days agoTotally agree. Well except for the when part. I’d say it’s more realistically if. I still expect these asshats to do something drastic and the best response is a strongly worded letter.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL that a small swimming pool in Exmouth UK, uses a data centre to heat it.English
1·6 days agoIt’s not really. Sell a solar powered hot water heater that just happens to be a small DC in a box to people with stable fiber connections. Make them subsidized and voila … distributed data centers that are cheaper, more efficient, energy reducing, and much less problematic.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump says he’ll ask Supreme Court to rehear birthright citizenship caseEnglish
6·6 days agoYeah this bullshit that you can’t appoint a justice in an election year and then ram one through in the last second just because your republican is infuriating. Fuck Mitch McConnell…

politics @lemmy.world•US House to vote on bill to make daylight saving time permanentEnglish
42·6 days agoTIL in 1974 the U.S. tried permanent DST during an energy crisis … it saved little energy, fuel use slightly increased, and public support collapsed after one dark winter, so the law was repealed within 10 months.
God forbid we’d learn from past mistakes.





Well aren’t you just a lovely person.
