Haven't they busted a handful of would-be Russian terrorists this week?
We obviously don't know for sure yet, but I have suspicions as to who's behind it.
I guess I'll just have to vote for Harris instead then 🤷♂️
There's no smidge of conscience, this is merely self preservation after he became aware that he was drawing too much attention to it.
It's hilarious how they continue to campaign against Biden despite the fact that he dropped out.
Trump also could have won in 2020 and we'd already be living in the dictatorship with no prospect of an election this November, so does the "you" in this time realize how lucky you are?
Yes, parties pick their own candidates and there's no rule saying we actually have to have a primary.
The parties could just put forward whatever candidate they want and push them for president, but if they do a primary they have a better chance at winning because they can select the most popular candidate with voters.
The primary is there for their benefit, not ours.
If they fire you, you'll probably be entitled to some form of unemployment benefits depending on where you live, if they keep dropping your hours until you quit then there's no such strings attached.
Depends on where you live, does it snow a lot? If so then AWD is absolutely better.
Well, with the exception of how much shit they give Biden for not being able to speak without a teleprompter, yeah it would be nothingburger.
But there's at least something when it's pointing out the hypocrisy of the right.
And just because they don't care about the hypocrisy doesn't mean that we shouldn't point it out.
Honestly for a long time I was really hopeful that the fact that he was doing it out in the open and everyone could see that he was abusing the hell out of every little loophole he could find, and creating some new ones, would mean that we'd start closing those loopholes when he was out of office and we might even see an era of reform.
He's been out of office for 4 years and all the courts have managed to do is LEGALIZE HIS MISCONDUCT!
I feel like I'm finally starting to except our collective fate and now there's nothing left to do but watch it burn down around us.
There are two things that will lose the election for Democrats if they don't get them under control.
- Infighting and arguing over who the candidate should be.
- The "All is lost" attitude.
If people don't stop fighting and trying to convince themselves that it's not worth it to go to the polls then this is game over.
It's not that hard to pull Trump from the stage until they had time to assess threat.
They pointed to the guy on the roof...
Someone reported the shooter 3 minutes before the first shots were fired.
"Follow up on suspicious reports" doesn't sound like it's a very hard part of the job.
Why won't anyone make these with a GBA layout?
My old GBA was my favorite way to play Gameboy and GBC games because it's just easier to hold.
why isn't anyone calling for Trump to drop out.
I get it, Biden is old and that's a problem, but why doesn't anyone seem to have a problem with the fact that Trump is almost the same age, has 34 felonies, raped at least 2 women, went to Epstein's Island 11 times, sexualized his own daughter, stole classified documents, aligned himself with Xi and Putin, and can't remember common names?
Is all of that really better than being 2½ years older than he is right now?
Based on a true story
My OS is on a 512gb M.2 drive, but the main storage on my laptop was a 1TB HDD, it started making noise about 2 weeks ago so I backed everything up onto a 1TB SanDisk USB SSD. This afternoon it got very clicky when I booted it up after work and icons for a few games I had stored on it, like KSP and YUZU, disappeared from the desktop and taskbar.
Status Of things - 2024/03/04
I'll be trying to keep this page up to date with the current status of my projects (and generally failing, from the looks of it). Check here for updates. As of 2024-03-04 Status Update The Bobiverse The release date for book 5 (Not Till We Are Lost) is set to Sept 5 2024. Option on ...
We already knew the September release date, nothing has changed on that front.
But, There are a few other interesting things. Mainly We're likely to see at least 5 more bob books but that's subject to change. And Roadkill 2 is coming!!
PEMDAS is technically correct, but morally wrong
If we're supposed to be able to understand math as easily as a language, we should be able to read it from left to right like a language. Yes, I know there's lots other languages that go right to left or top to bottom, but the point is you don't have to go jumping around the page or sentence figuring out which word should be read first based on which characters it contains. We put the first word first, then the second word second, etc. Why can't we just write equations in the order they were meant to be solved?
Book 5 is currently set for release on September 5th 2024, Dennis isn't happy about it either
Dennis E. Taylor answered: “Soooo, any firm date yet on Bobiverse 5? Your (deleted) tweet has us worried”
Sorry for the disappointing news everyone. Looks like audible wants to hold it back until Q4 for some reason despite it being complete.
Tracking and marketing metadata probably make up a significant share all data storage available worldwide.
Edit: I mean to say just a significant amount, not a majority. That's obviously porn.
Book 5 and Spoilers
With "Not Till We Are Lost" likely to release sometime in the next ~60 days or so It's probably time to discuss spoilers leading up to and following release. So for one, There will be a discussion mega-thread, but there won't be any rules discouraging posts for anyone who wants to discuss anything specific, which brings us to rules for posts. I'm going to keep it relatively short and simple here as it's mostly common sense. No Spoilers in post titles This should be a given but I'm sure someone still needs to hear it. Use spoiler tags in post body Yes, you have to click on the post to see the post body in most cases, But some apps and instances show a preview of the post body text and it can be visible to people who didn't intend to view the post.
These rules will remain in effect leading up to release (samples that may be released before the book count as spoilers) and for 14 days after the release.
mod tools?
I moderate a very small community but I'd like to be able to pin posts and have access to other general moderator tools like removing posts/comments and locking threads. It doesn't seem that I can do any of that with Connect and it's cumbersome at best to try to do it on a mobile browser. Are there any plans to implement mod tools? Or is there a setting I missed somewhere that enabls them?
Commmunity feedback thread
So, I'm new to the whole moderating thing and I'm looking for feedback from the community. What can we do to increase community engagement? Would you guys like to see weekly discussion threads? Book 5 speculation? Writing prompts based in universe? As the mod, what can I do for you to make this community better?
A Theory for Book 5
spoiler
Across all the books something that becomes obvious if you pay attention, but is never touched on directly, Is that there is replicant drift between the GUPPI units as well as the Bobs. There's different attitudes, some are flippant, some cooperative, and some downright disrespectful. Now lets take a look at something ANEC mentioned in heavens river:
"AI is not achievable through algorithmic refinement. It requires a process of simulated annealing to achieve." to which Bill replied: "So they're elvoving the AI?"
If you think about it the Bobs have been slowly annealing GUPPI with every generation and even leaving him some room to grow, slowly evolving him. My theory is that GUPPI will unintentionally become the first AI the bobs create. This would work well with the parallels the Bobiverse has with ExForce. Even borrowing the term "Skippies" from Skippy, the insolent AI that shares a lot of characteristics with several of the GUPPI's that don't yet have the ability to be outright transgressive and borderline maliciously compliant.
That's all I have for now, only Dennis and the editors know exactly what will happen but I'm curious to hear any other theories anyone else has.
