The Obamas Endorse Harris: 'This Is Going to Be Historic'
  • His first time making national news was when the Justice Department went after him in 1973 for violating the Fair Housing Act.

    Black applicants for apartments in his buildings had the letter "C" (for "colored") added to their applications and were denied based entirely on their race.

    For over 50 years he's demonstrated time and again that he's a racist piece of shit.

  • YouTube tests server-side ads to make your coveted blocker obsolete
  • I miss GPM. YouTube music is full of community-made playlist that are actually YouTube video playlists, so you'll start one up and have all the music video intros, interrupts, and extra sound effects and shit that get thrown in.

    I started a Disney playlist for my nephew in the car, and you could hear all the sound effects from the movie over the actual soundtrack.

  • Quick overview
  • I understand being exhausted. And if you can't do it anymore there's no shame in that.

    But please give other, less-tired people an opportunity to try and make things better instead of lashing out in a way that discourages them or alienate those they're trying to persuade.

    There are millions of people in this country disengaged from the political process because all they see is the hostility between the 2 sides. They want to avoid hostility, so they avoid politics altogether.

    They legitimately don't know how bad Trump is because they disengage as soon as they hear his name or see his face.

    They've actively, intentionally engaged in political ignorance because they hate conflict. That's good for Trump's goons, because that instinct to want everybody to get along and work together is counter to their political agenda.

    Their ignorance comes from a misguided but sincere goodness, and by insulting them we just make them double-down on their strategy.

    We need them to vote. Trump needs them to not vote.

  • Blursed Bot
  • I think a big thing that people are failing to understand is that most of these bits aren't advanced LLMs that cost billions to develop, but bots that use existing LLMs. Therefore the programming on them isn't super advanced and there will be workarounds.

    Honestly the most effective way to keep them from getting tricked in the replies is to simply have them either not reply at all, or pre-program 50 or so standard prompts given to the LLM that are triggered by comment replies based on keywords.

    Basically they need to filter the thread in such a way that the replies are never provided directly to the LLM.

  • It has now been 15 years since the federal minimum wage rose to $7.25
  • There was a study a few years back showing that there isn't a county in the country where full-time minimum wage could pay for a 1br apartment and basic necessities.

    That should be the bare minimum. A full-time worker should be able to live within a reasonable proximity to their place of employment. I make 80 grand and have to drive 90 minutes to work.

  • If Clinton, Trump, and Did Not Vote were presidential candidates in 2016
  • The problem there is that the Constitution says the state legislators get to pick how electors are selected. They don't even have to hold popular elections, even though all 50 states currently do. In fact, the Supreme Court hinted in its decision in Bush v Gore that state legislature can change the rules between the November elections and the actual election in December.

    That is: Republican legislatures can decide to ignore the election results and send Republican electors if they don't like the results.

    Texas already passed a law allowing the Texas Secretary of State to overturn elections in Harris County (Houston).
