The WHO says there is no evidence that infections caused by subclade K produce symptoms that differ from or are more severe than those caused by other seasonal influenza viruses.

‘Superflu’, eh?

I disagree with your overall opinion for various reasons (relying on AI erodes researching and critical thinking skills; Copilot is dangerously unreliable in the majority of use cases); it is invasive to the point that it’s creating a user backlash; there’s are many serious social/emotional issues that are surfacing because of AI over-use; etc etc).

But I respect that you have shared a genuinely unpopular opinion here (in the right community). And you put your arguments forward in a well-worded and coherent way. So kudos.

ETA: I don’t think it’s appropriate to personally insult OP because of this post, as a small number of people here are doing. C’mon people, look at the community we are in and don’t resort to such insults. This is a great topic for legit discussion.

Back then the cure was imprisonment in a cage and with regular blood letting and being plunged in cold water.

And by drilling holes in the skull. Plus probably various other horrible ‘treatments’ that just created extra problems without fixing the original (and very vaguely understood) issue.

Sociopaths of a feather flock together.

He probably forgot he existed too.

Stephen Miller quietly contemplating if he could drink the ninja turtle’s blood before he returns to his sarcophagus.

Kristi Noem getting all excited and waving her hand around with a make-believe gun because she thought the turtle was a large bipedal puppy.

Tantrum and threat of a $10 billion lawsuit against him incoming. But all that will do is get thrown out of court and result in more performers cancelling in protest. So good luck with that.

Edit: Removed extra word.

Not necessarily dementia. But these are signs of various neurological disorders. And they sound pretty acute.

I’m with others here: in your shoes I’m pretty sure I’d end the relationship.

The questions you have to ask yourself:

When does the ordeal of having to deal with a constant and growing level of toxicity surpass the love and loyalty you have for a person (who either doesn’t exist any more or who never really existed)?

When do you put your own mental well-being first?

Title is a bit click-baity and misleading. (Not the fault of OP though.)

In the article itself:

one of the first things Thomson will do is turn the machine off for engineering work. It will not restart until his term is nearly over.

So it will come back online. It’ll just take a while.

And that Britain has been a cultural melting pot for a couple of thousand years.

Then five minutes later Toad shows up with his special brand of chaos and massively fucks up the lives of these three yet again.

Parents (not being able to tell the videos are AI-generated): “See this? This will be you in 30 years if you don’t get married and have kids very soon!”

Kids (able to see the videos are visit AI-generated): “Suuuuure!”

We all knew Russia is now China’s puppet. But I didn’t realize China is also so good at ventriloquism.

This was a staggeringly short-sighted and inept move by the senior management of Salesforce. But then from everything I’ve heard of that company, this is just par for the course.

Bona Petite

Holy shit. Where to start with this one…

• Regardless of whether it’s a boy or a girl, this name will lead to merciless teasing at school.
• What a random phrase to name a child after (even if the father is a chef).
• It’s not spelled correctly (it should be Bon Appétit). But even with the correct spelling it would be a bad choice.
• This spelling is like something Ricky from Trailer Park Boys would name his kid.
• Related to the above point, they may add well just name their kid ‘Bone Apple Tea’.

“Your decision to withdraw at the last moment — explicitly in response to the Center’s recent renaming, which honors President Trump’s extraordinary efforts to save this national treasure — is classic intolerance and very costly to a non-profit Arts institution,” the venue’s president, Richard Grenell, wrote in a letter to musician Chuck Redd that was shared with The Associated Press.

In the letter, Grenell said he would seek $1 million in damages “for this political stunt.”

Well done to the Kennedy Center for self-fucking themselves on future bookings with this stunt. Nothing says “come play at our venue!” like suing the talent.

It’s going to be Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, and some shitty country artists for them moving forward. Fun!

The Lemmy platform is just a tool to manage and delivery content. And I think it’s important to differentiate the software from those who manages the software. I can see there’s is a tacit connection and influence there. But unless they start baking inherently bias features into the software and skewing it, I don’t think it’s a big problem.

Also, because it’s an inherently federated platform, if people don’t like the opinions of those who run a specific instance, they can (with the inclination and determination) spin up their own instance and manage that the way they see fit. And that has happened quite a few times over the last couple of years.

So no, I don’t think it requires a fork really. Not unless the people managing the main branch lose interest and the software starts to wither on the vine, or they start corrupting it somehow. But that’s just my opinion.

And eating the dogs!!! And eating the cats!!!

In lieu of any solid Democrat candidates, a Stewart/Colbert ticket in 2028 looks pretty good. Both are very smart, well-intentioned, and well-grounded people.

Jimmy Kimmel’s nickname for him - ‘the Squeaker of the House’ - is spot on. Johnson is such a sniveling, spineless, toady figure. Even his default strategy is to just run away.
