I am sometimes very confused with my body. I've noticed that my feet get sweaty when they're COLD and stay dry when they're warm. How the fuck does that work?

It's weird
I was REPEATEDLY told that payment processors "had" to ban all nsfw to mitigate the risk of processing CSAM.
So if that's true then why wasn't X immediately dumped by every one of those payment processors when Grok turned into an automated CSAM generator?

cannot be overstated how much conservative ideology is almost identical to the worldview of a rapist
US Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent:
What I am urging everyone here to do is sit back, take a deep breath, and let things play out. The worst thing countries can do is escalate against the United States.

Any ICE agent involved in this should be charged with attempted murder, or murder, if we find out that someone has died from this.

ICE has shrouded entire neighborhoods in Minneapolis in a toxic cloud of chemicals.
Last year, I commissioned this story on @thexylom.com on the aftermath of Nepal's Gen-Z protests, where something similar happened.
There are likely long term public health impacts in both cities for years to come:

If I were interested in a pinball simulator, what's the best one out there? I seem to remember that there's one that has a lot of tables but it's all DLC and extremely expensive to get a lot of good tables.

The context is about people who support ICE. And I'd say:
1) they don't
2) who cares, they're fascists
3) why are you okay adopting fascist positions and, if you keep doing so, at what point does the distinction between you and them disappear?

Every time I see a legislator arguing that we just need to give them better de-escalation training, I want to ask them "Do you think calling someone a racial slur and concussing them while they're handcuffed is an accident? Do you think they were trying to de-escalate and just didn't know how?!?!"
Nasra Ahmed, a 23-year-old US citizen, was arrested and detained by ICE. She was held for TWO DAYS.
ICE agents handcuffed her, called her a racial slur, and she was knocked to the ground so hard she got a concussion.
This cannot continue happening. ICE needs to leave.

I find it really funny when people try to act offended when I invoke the "every accusation is a confession" rule and act like they never accused me, a queer person, of something dangerous and unjustifiable out of the blue.

Apparently they’re adding ageism to their continued attacks. I guess somehow some of them being in their 20’s justifies Mob attacks, and slander on me, etc. & much worse to others (read my other posts). I’m not sure who they are specifically talking about. 1/

The one thing I will say about 'vibe coding' and AI usage in general in coding is that it's very good for boilerplate, but the more complicated and the more niche your application becomes, the more useless it is.

Anyway, I’ve asked friends to stop warning me when the cluster is going after me. Hopefully that will help me stick to ignoring their bullshit.
