lol I live right outside of Bellevue and it gets a lot of flack for “having no soul” because it’s a bigish city built from new money but it’s a perfectly nice place otherwise, I think it’s “too nice” for some people because it’s mostly still very new. I like Bellevue personally

Bakersfield California, drive through it once. It was like someone was making the most depressing movie about drugs and prostitution and dilapidated infrastructure so they built Bakersfield to be the backdrop

Shoe sales at a long gone sports and adventure store called GI Joes

But it doesn’t look like that to the human eye, if the human eye could see that far, all the colors are translated data. Your eye would see nothing but faint gray smudges if you could recreate that image with your eyes and brain

JFC!! I don’t realize he and I were the same age wow he must be living hard

Why do I care about popularity? I don’t want to be on mega platforms and I don’t understand why that’s the bar. As long as a platform is generally self sustaining or very slow growing that’s plenty good.

You’re saying I should open a car wash?

Don’t make me post my autism spectrum gun again

Zipper merge is intended to happen at a gore point. Zippers aren’t randomly closed at various sections and open at others, they close from one end - that’s where the merge is. It’s very literally like a zipper.

I’m a tax payer and I’m going to drive in all the lanes I paid for then zipper merge when needed. If we all pile up in one lane because we are too collectively stupid to use all our lanes and zipper merge then we are the traffic we deserve.

Israel, Russia and the US is the new axis of evil

Ugh watch me install this then have it just be government owned spyware

Recruiting a celebrity is always helpful if you plan on growing your a cult

A socialist advocating for socialism?? WELL I NEVER!!

They’re always on and under my boobs too?? Like it would be one thing if it was on my chest but there’s a big open area of nothing with a design only on or under my boobs? I think they’re just not made with women in mind 90% of the time even when it’s sold in women’s sizes

I’m mostly not

I think that’s been the plan all along… palantir has been around for at least a decade in the government at this point

I’ve also noticed Lemmy seems to have zero understanding of farming/plants/farming infrastructure and can’t understand that nearly all food crops require FULL sun and building an opaque canopy over crops that need FULL sun will absolutely decimate that crop, you can’t just grow plants on vibes they require very specific things, especially cultivars that humans have designed to make huge fruiting bodies, that takes SO MUCH ENERGY (sun)!

I see this problem a lot too in people asking about prepping, there doesn’t seem to be a well educated prepping community on Lemmy and the amount of people giving out advice like a backyard garden will sustain you as a food source in an emergency is not only wildly ill informed but dangerous for those taking the advice

They’re not AI data centers, they’re surveillance centers
