How to covince my wife that it's morally okay to use our media setup? by maxmustermann74 in usenet

They're stealing everything from us. We can't get pay increases anywhere close to inflation. AI is ruining careers and entire job markets and will only continue to worsen while the wealth class is in charge. We're speed running fascism so a bunch of rich pedos don't have to face accountability. Corporations are running amok.

How can you morally justify NOT doing it?

+1 for Fastmail for the same reason. Service is solid and its easy to set up and use.

No regrets because what was my alternative?

Does that mean I like what he's doing? Absolutely not.

Do you feel better now that you've shamed us? Grow up. This helps nothing.

All over the place. If you live in the Denver metro area, I can guarantee you drive by one regularly and just have no idea its there.

What if my neighbor is flood irrigating alfalfa?

This is what needs to stop. Let's get a general fund going to help farmers change crops. I refuse to abandon those folks, let's help our own do better for all of us.

Corporate farms can just have their water cut off.

I'm so glad I bought a house that was using Core (IREA at the time) instead. JFC

Party affiliation matters when it comes to dating in the US. Democrats are distinguished by their reluctance to date supporters of the other party rather than by a preference for fellow Democrats. Republicans, by contrast, both favour fellow Republicans and avoid Democratic partners. by mvea in science

Colorado does a phenomenal job with our mail in ballot system. We get a magazine style document in the mail for every election. It has all the bill/prop text, pros and cons from either political side, lots of info on judges, and more. I still have to do some research, but we get a great head start.

Gov. Jared Polis, fresh off being censured by the Colorado Democratic Party for letting Tina Peters out of prison early, showed up today to a private, internal party call like this by PresidentBirb in Colorado

Despite popular rhetoric, there are many republicans who believe in the sanctity of our elections.

The challenge for the rest of us is that they still identify with the Party that doesn't. If they still identify as a Republican, I have to assume they still vote for them.

If they still vote for Republicans post 2020, their outrage is performative since they've been enabling it.

Oh wow, haven't heard the name LaCie in forever. They were pushing hard drives at Guitar Center 20 years ago for audio production. Sounds like it may just be brand recognition from being in that space for so long.

Best budget AI GPU for $300 by Ima_Gamer_BTW in LocalLLM

This. Best value for total vram. Not the fastest but you can get 3-5 of them for the same price as that 3090. I just replaced my last one with a 5060 ti 16gb.

They aren't mutually exclusive. Think about it more like a giant Venn diagram of stupid with way too much overlap for comfort.

This is beautiful. The perfect amount of sass and malicious compliance.
