Ugh, the AI generated video is so off-putting. Extra fingers sprouting, teeth or beaks appearing in smiley faces. Lovecraftian horrors abound...
Some fun facts for everyone:
Advanced voting has finished, here are the final numbers.
- over 1/4th of registered voters (1 million) have already voted!
- the number of advance voters in 2024 is more than 50% of the number of total voters in 2017 and 2020
- Oct 16 was the highest single day of advance voting, with over 222,000 votes cast
- North Saanich and the islands had the highest advance voting percentage: 37.5% of registered voters cast a vote
- North Coast-Haida Gwaii had the lowest advance voting turnout: 20.1% of registered voters cast a vote
This is gonna be an election for the record books, it's gonna be tight, and lots of people have already voted. Don't miss out! Make your vote count! If you haven't votes yet, make a plan, find a buddy, and go vote on October 18!
Every time I am reminded that she was a chemical engineer, I picture Thatcher as a more-demure-yet-viciously-effective Yzma.
Edit: And Mr. "Too Tall To Be A Bus Driver" John Major as a blond Kronk?! Oh yeah, it's all coming together.
Also, a lifetime supply of peanuts to all residents who aren't allergic 🥜
"Some of you may die..."
EXACTLY! GO DONATE TO HELPING REBUILD NC, ELON! It boggles the mind...
Good god, imagine if that money was spent on something meaningful like climate adaptation or building housing. Hell, reinvest it in the your companies, at least it would create something. What a staggering waste...
Right behind you (͠≖ ͜ʖ͠≖)
And my axe ass!
Oh wow, a YouTube video! How credible! You owned everyone, good job Comrad! /s
Sounds like a rule that would end up landing Hitler in the Medium Place with Mindy and Derek.
Weird to see a picture of the Conservatory of Music in Victoria, BC, Canada in a US sub. Did you grab a random photo off the internet for this meme?
Edit: Not saying Canada is better or worse than the US on homelessness. It just fells bot-farmish to post about something in one country with a picture from a completely different place. Like posting about protests in France and using a picture of a protest in Montreal.
Nobody should be able to do that.
Restricting freedoms too?! You must be one uhv them commi an-tee-fah immigrants takin' up all our jobs and unemployment benefits! Stay away from our cats! ... unless they belong to childless women, then it's fair game! /S
Whoa whoa whoa, building codes? That's just costly red tape! How will builders see ever increasing profit margins with all this government bureaucracy?! Remove the building codes entirely, let the Free MarketTM do an invisible handshake with Jesus, and the rest will take care of itself /s
Golly-gee, what possibly could have caused you to stop using your account?
It's almost like raising prices without improving the service causes people to cancel 🤔
Issue with the image proxy.
Is the image proxy broken?

Is anyone else experiencing this? Or am I doing something wrong? Thank you!

Bernard Stiegler’s philosophy on how technology shapes our world | Aeon Essays
>>Technological development can destroy our sense of ourselves as rational, coherent subjects, leading to widespread suffering and destruction. But tools can also provide us with a new sense of what it means to be human, leading to new modes of expression and cultural practices. > > >Technology, for better or worse, affects every aspect of our lives. Our very sense of who we are is shaped and reshaped by the tools we have at our disposal. > > >The problem, for Stiegler, is that when we pay too much attention to our tools, rather than how they are developed and deployed, we fail to understand our reality. We become trapped, merely describing the technological world on its own terms and making it even harder to untangle the effects of digital technologies and our everyday experiences. > > >By encouraging us to pay closer attention to this world-making capacity, with its potential to harm and heal, Stiegler is showing us what else is possible. > > > archive.org > > ghostarchive.org > > archive.today

Honda built a powered chair to zoom around theme parks while wearing an AR headset.
At SXSW this year, people will be able to ride the Honda UNI-ONE while wearing a virtual reality headset and play a choose-your-own VR adventure.
At the upcoming SXSW Conference... Honda will give attendees a chance to try out a new mobility device... specifically designed for mixed reality entertainment experiences.
Users can steer... without the use of their hands — they simply have to lean into one direction to move forwards, backwards, sideways or diagonally.
