No, this actually has the potential to cause major rifts in their ranks, which forced them all to focus more on this and less on destroying things. Distraction can work both ways.

Man, I hope he keeps talking about this. He’s losing Nick Fuentes, Alex Jones, and Joe Rogan, ffs. Please, I hope nobody takes his phone and reporters keep asking. I want both his pig feet shoved in his mouth daily until he finally just drops.
All this stress must be bad for his heart.
I don’t think he lied about that, either. There’s no way he read even 1 page of an 800 page document with no pictures in it.
He didn’t need to know about that document – it was other people’s brain child – he just parroted their talking points, as he does with nearly everything.
He’s a carnival barker and useful idiot. Let’s just hope he continues to make himself less useful to them.
Good, then I don’t expect us to be ‘family’, since my family would understand that treating me like shit would ruin our relationship.
Soooooo…
Thank you. I’ve only heard ‘generative’ but I’ve not really kept up with the tech until the past few years since it wasn’t much of a thing before that in real life.
I mean to friends and family – people who have accepted it as smart.
I don’t know about you, but when I try to explain the concept of LLMs to people not in the tech field, their eyes glaze over. I’ve gotten several family members into VR, though. It’s an easier concept to understand.
It’s crazy – I have a really nice oversized jumper, and people who’ve known I knit have asked if I made it. Lol no, it would have cost like 10 times more. I bought it on sale (it’s machine made).
The same goes for many handcrafts. Have you seen the cost of one teeny skein of embroidery ribbon? And I always feel a bit sad when I see hand crocheted tablecloths or large cross stitch pieces at thrift shops for almost nothing. Someone spent hundreds of hours on that, and it’s being sold for the price of like 3 tiny skeins of floss.
It’s definitely an admission, but also, I’m pretty sure he’s panicking because he knows it’s either going leak soon and/or there will be congressional hearings in which Bondi, Bonjino, and even Maxwell will have to testify under oath (Maxwell has already said she’s willing to testify – the late-night GOP scramble yesterday was related to this).
He’s trying to poison the well with his usual ‘lügenpresse’ schtick.

Could Scotty’s loss of Porthos during that experiment have been the actual divergence point?
(lemmy.ca)
Captain archer was linked with his own future, and he was almost religiously against transporter tech straight out of the gate, to a degree that seems weird if he didn’t have a reason to be.
I understand the narrative reasons for this, but looking at him as a person, he seems overly Luddite with respect to this specific tech, in a way he isn’t with most others we can see. He’s actually pretty progressive with respect to his society in many facets.
That’s a bit weird, unless we consider his life includes time travel as a core concept, so he knew Scotty would lose Porthos, and though he couldn’t do anything about that, he had an almost innate distrust of transporters.
Does that make sense?
(I mostly mean the events of ENT and some TNG, VOY, all new movies since 2009, etc in that timeline, but perhaps the other, too)
This post in /r/AskHistorians apparently caused a mod conflict and confused sub users.
A couple of highlights:
Hello everyone wondering where the answer is […] We are not asking anyone to completely re-write something to suit our tastes, but to contextualize what is written within the reality of the times. As this question hit /r/all, it’s very clear that there is a large audience reading it, with various degrees of knowledge about the period and the novel/film.
They did, though, and people called them out, to be met by some confusion, followed by another mod response:
In sum, you had the poor timing of posting right at the point when the mod team ‘turns over’ several times - US slips off to Bed and then Europe wakes up. It meant that you were dealing with, essentially, a string of mods in different time zones and different “shifts” which created something of a Moderator game of telephone about what we had been expecting out of an answer in the thread.
General confusion ensued.
There were several conflicting mod DMs that weren’t captured publicly, too, but were responded to in the OP. Asked to include all races, then asked to narrow it down, asked to include a disclaimer (I did, at the bottom), then asked to move it to the top, asked to remove things, then to include those same things. It was maddening.
E: re-reading, I don’t think I’ve ever used race words so often in my life, jesus.
e: I only included this photo because I couldn’t seem to submit this post without a photo for some reason. It’s only tangentially related to the Reddit post, but this is an example of my education on the subject.

Thank you for that link, @NotAnotherLemmyUser!
Took me a while and an AskLemmy post to figure this out, since I initially thought Lemmy was auto-modding commenters (which kinda made me panic), but this is what I see:
I am the only mod in this community, and others aren’t seeing this flag everywhere, so commenters aren’t actually modded.
Is this a bug with Voyager or with my instance?
Is this a Lemmy thing? Something with lemmy.ca? Something about Voyager?
I tried looking it up but found nothing that might explain this. I have a community that’s super niche and I don’t post there much, but I do on occasion. I don’t care that it’s not that active – it’s enough for me.
Over the past couple of days, I’ve had a tiny amount of interaction, and everyone who posts seems to be automatically flagged as a mod. What’s happening?
e: this is what I see:
It looks like they’re actually tier 1 (they seem to be standing on a white platform), but what, if any, weight is each layer above them? I can see narrow platforms, but are they all taking most of the weight?
I’m not sure whether this was meant as an athletic or purely aesthetic display – since they’re billed as ‘acrobats’, I assumed skill was involved, so what would be the best and worst case scenario those 8-10 in the narrowest tier would be supporting?
e: was there any kind of structural support in this? I’m not finding much about it.
Here’s a Snopes article about this event at the 1980s Olympics in Moscow.
Guys, I fucked up. I have what was a beautiful two-tone colander that looked nice and retro, with a shiny red finish. After some use, there was a very tiny amount of rust showing in places around the rim, and my dumbass self decided to soak it in CLR like I do with anything metal that gets signs of rust. It didn’t occur to me that it would remove the gloss finish from the powder-coated enamel.
Now it looks and feels awful, like it has a dull, pink, rubbery coating instead of the beautiful glossy bright red finish of yore.
Is there a product I can use to polish it back to beauty? It wasn’t cheap and has been discontinued, so I’d like to restore it if possible.
I’ve searched online but my Google-fu isn’t worthy, apparently. Thanks in advance!

No, obviously I don’t think he’s in charge. These files also contain names of others in Congress, and meetings lately have been derailed lately because of this issue. This isn’t currently slowing down their progress.
