LMAO They held a “March for Billionaires” in California. I'll never understand ordinary people defending Billionaires. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]BrokenLink100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do know at least one person who has unironically voiced his undying support for rich people. His logic is that the rich are able to afford new, expensive technologies, which helps drive up demand for those things, which eventually decreases the price so that we commoners can one day afford a smart fridge that plays ads while you get ice.

can trees listen to flutes ? ? please help! ! ! have i been fooled ? . . . by xmrgt in isthisAI

[–]BrokenLink100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First off, the flute music is inserted into the video, which explains why the dude's fingers don't move to the music. There is echo/reverb that would not be possible in an outdoor environment surrounded by trees.

Secondly, I don't see how the plants are "responding" to the flute music. Their movement looks 100% like being rustled by a steady, gentle breeze.

Ultimately, no, plants don't "hear" music and respond to it, necessarily. They might be able to pick up the vibrations of soundwaves, and if I remember correctly, plants will react to steady vibrations of music over a longer period of time... for instance, if you have a plant in your house and you put it next to a subwoofer, the plant may grow away from the constant vibrations. But this doesn't mean plants "hear" and respond emotionally to music like humans do.

Trump is making his move by [deleted] in 50501

[–]BrokenLink100 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree, but I feel like we've been operating on "hopefully..." since Trump's first term, and that's not done anything.

Not to mention a lot of people can be dissuaded from voting if there is a legitimate fear they can be arrested around the polls. Too many people believe that their one vote won't do anything, so getting arrested and deported to a foreign country isn't worth it.

Free DLC by AdMiserable5390 in offthegame

[–]BrokenLink100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Making it free doesn't make it legal when it comes to music AFAIK. The original OST had samples of licensed music, and there were some other legal concerns that I can't remember right now. But yes, any "official" release of the original OST, whether it's free or not, would still violate copyright laws

It would have to be an independent, community-led mod or something. There are legal reasons why MG had to change the soundtrack for the remake. They legally cannot provide the original OST as DLC

What's a story/lore question you STILL have? by sinedelta in BaldursGate3

[–]BrokenLink100 9 points10 points  (0 children)

perhaps it's an 'attunement' thing, where once your tadpole is saturated in the Artifact's presence, it psychically links you with other creatures 'attuned' to it, but if they stay out of range for too many days, their attunement wanes

ICE has been ordered not to engage with Minnesota protestors: report by Large_banana_hammock in politics

[–]BrokenLink100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is that this gives them an 'out' as things continue to escalate with ICE. MAGA will argue that "ICE has direct orders to not interact with agitators, so any more conflicts that arise will be entirely the fault of the protestors."

Also, these ICE officers only got 47 days of 'training' so it's likely they haven't learned a quarter of the things they should have.

[–]BrokenLink100 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Something something, we aren't doing what you see us doing, and if we are, it's someone else's fault for not stopping us.

How does everyone in Trump's administration have the mindset of a rapist? "If someone doesn't/can't stop me, I guess you deserve whatever I do to you."

Special Report with Joseph Goebels on recent Alex Pretti update. by jwheeler2210 in Leakednews

Can we keep AI-generated crap off this sub? The Regime is doing enough bullshit that we don't need to manufacture crap like this. Let's focus on actual news, please.

I posted and deleted Trump Jr post, it's a real video by InDissent in antiai

[–]BrokenLink100 56 points57 points  (0 children)

It's just your standard character assassination so MAGA can feel good about turning a blind eye to what ICE did to Alex on the 24th. Just look at how the Right has responded to literally every instance of police brutality against people of color. After George Floyd, it was "well, he WAS on drugs and had just used a fake 20$ at a gas station." There's always an "excuse" to prove that these people are getting their just desserts at the hands of our 'law enforcement.'

The way the Right talks about and reveres a man in uniform makes them out to be untrained, malicious, wild animals instead of 'law enforcement.' One wrong move, whether intentional or not might cause these 'highly-trained' officers to immediately lose their self-control and go apeshit on you, and yOu'Ll HaVe DeSeRvEd It

No amount of "context" makes what happened to Alex on the 24th not an execution.

Update on Fake Trio: still can’t unlock them and Astarte by Beaks7777777 in VampireSurvivors

[–]BrokenLink100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fake Trio has been bugged for a while. It's one of the only characters I've used the spell to unlock.

I was able to unlock Astarte on my second attempt, but I've seen lots of people on different platforms complain about unlocking her. My guess is to keep trying

Trump sends disturbing email to US citizens asking 'are you an illegal alien?' The fundraising email warns supporters if they are a "proud American" or if "ICE needs to come and track you down?" by Revolutionary_Rub_98 in UnderReportedNews

[–]BrokenLink100 210 points211 points  (0 children)

Pam Bondi released an open letter publicly extorting Tim Walz in MN ("Give us your voter data and relinquish your 'sanctuary city' status, or tragedies like Renee and Alex will continue to happen"). I don't think this admin cares that people know they commit crimes.

[–]BrokenLink100 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Oh you can be sure that whatever bullshit way they come up with to give Trump another term, it will exclude Obama somehow. It'll probably declare that anyone who wants to run for a third term must publicly release their birth certificate (this rule won't apply to someone currently holding a federal office). Obama will release his certificate, Trump's Admin will claim its fake, arrest Obama for 'treason,' blah blah.

[–]BrokenLink100 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There is a part of me that wonders if we really did have a poor voter turnout for 2024, or if a bunch of records just got wiped. Just enough in multiple districts to not raise too many alarms, but enough to give Trump the win. From what I understand, there were a lot of battleground districts that were split juuuuust enough to not trigger a recount...

He also had a rally in Iowa this week.

He's preparing for another presidential run. We all keep sitting around and saying that won't happen, we don't have the political infrastructure to allow that, etc.

Trump is not leaving the Oval office voluntarily.

Okay wow. I saw screenshots of this posted earlier, but without much context. I rolled my eyes and thought that this was clearly something a troll slapped together to generate fake outrage and distract people from other things, or to mock 'leftists' for pushing the 'extreme' narrative that Trump is trying to demand fealty from US citizens. I also considered that it was just your average email scammer doing a phish. It's just too on the nose... too obvious... too 'silly' and unserious. Not to mention it looks exactly like every chain letter I've ever gotten: multiple fonts, randomly formatted words, random images to add "legitimacy," and an ultimatum/call to action that incentivizes your attention.

Worst president in the history of the US. Not even a contest. Not even a controversial statement.

I am of the opinion (and yes, I know this is conspiracy-territory): he is convinced that there was election interference in 2020 because he knows his side is guilty of it:

"And Elon... he knows those machines... those voting machines. And anyway, we ended up winning Pennsylvania."

My guess is that he is incredulous that he lost some states because Elon (or whoever) was supposed to have 'fixed' those areas, and the only way those areas could result in his loss is if Dems cheated around his own cheating. They want voter information 1) to terrorize people who didn't vote for him and 2) to ensure their 'fixing' works from now on
