Also, what's the alternative being promoted? If responding to, debunking, and rebuking the lies of Trump/Vance is "pointing fingers" and adding to negative discourse, then are they suggesting to just shut up about it and let the lies go unchecked? How does that serve anyone's interest?

Feels like normative bias and the naive belief that Trump can't cause any real damage and everything will be fine in the end.

Curse words themselves don't reduce the impact of a sentence on their own. Context is important.

I'll try ask this in a different way: can you think of a time when a curse word seemed to fit the context of the point being made, or enhanced the impact, or felt powerful or eloquent? Can you remember and share the context of it?

Are you saying there's never a time where a curse word is appropriate, mr_no_swearing?

"I have the concept of a plan" is fine tho.

She should have just said that she has the concept of a plan and then pivoted to whatever single issue she feels is polling well for her 🙄

You're talking about a different issue. It just happens to feature a lot of cursing. But cursing itself does not make a remark less clever.

I agree that cursing is often used as a replacement for "um". But you ever really appreciate someone who knows how and when to curse, with intention and as an infliction? It's a joy to behold.

The price hurt. But the flipside is I use this every day for multiple hours so in the long run its worth it.

Others do show interest but are immediately turned off by the price. Unfortunately it keeps it niche.

I use a Supernote Nomad which is (IMO) their more capable competitor. I'm a messy thinker and a messy writer so the ability to scribble things down then move and resize paragraphs and easily tidy things up is great. I can have multiple notebooks and Supernote allows you to set headings, use tags, and create links between notes/notebooks to easily navigate, find, and reference things. It also lets me select text and add it to a built in reminder app so I have a systemwide list of things I need tondo with due dates etc. The reminder links to the note you created it from so you can easily refresh yourself on content.

The Nomad is also small, like a travel notebook, so it's always with me at work. It has a lovely vegan leather book-style case, the stylus is a chunky metal pen with a ceramic tip, and the Nomad has a texture on it that depresses like paper as you write. So it's also just a really nice and straightforward writing experience when you need it to be, with digital conveniences a few taps away.

Vaginia.

That's some cringy shit.

Why on Earth would you say that, unless you think your opinion is important and valid and worthy of being heard? Yet you out here arguing other people's opinions aren't. Wow, great mind. Cry about strawmen a bit more.

She's not allowed to or qualified to have an opinion according to you?

She doesn't decide who they vote for.

Fox News poll, right after the debate.

Boomertown.

Disengaged voters aren't watching the debate

They won't watch, but the debate can attract the attention of people who don't ordinarily think about politics but start to realize there's an election coming up. It's a broad group that I don't think you can generalize as broadly as you are (unless you're using the term "disengaged" to describe only the "refuse to participate in any way" camp).

Similarly, undecided is more likely to describe people who haven't decided if they will vote or not - either side winning and otherwise forfeited vote is a good thing for their campaign. But I also think it's incorrect to assume there's people not still on the fence about the candidate - plenty of "I like Harris but I am not sure if she's good for the economy" voters, etc.

Agree, however if debates do have any impact on an election (Biden dropping out being an exception) it's to sway disengaged and swing voters. So Trump just plays to his base I think that would qualify as a loss for him.

The 60hz screen is ridiculous. They need to make the phone WAY cheaper and acknowledge it's mid-tier. But Apple want it both ways - a premium brand charging premium prices and then shovelling bottom-end specs to funnel you to the even-more-expensive models.

I hate the stupidly low base storage, but personally am not impacted due to my usage patterns and having cheap cloud storage so I'm not as passionate with my disdain!

Flat white is always made with some milk foam on top, traditionally less than a Latte.

So the difference should be in the ratio of coffee to milk to froth, which is also true of other varieties like cortado.

This is such a thorough and comprehensive takedown, I am impressed.

There's nothing in the article but Meta PR! It's not factual reporting, and Fox has done nothing to corroborate the claims and provide actual analysis.

Zuckerberg is vague about what he was asked to "censor" (humour and satire?) but also makes clear that Facebook rebuffed officials and all that happened was that those officials expressed frustration. What's the actual allegation here? Zuck got hurt feelings?

Zuck refers to Facebook's mission as "helping people connect in a safe and secure way" to try and downplay the Cambridge Analytics scandal the fact that they're are an ad platform first and foremost. This is Meta prop.

Muted mics make him look like he's being civil and letting Harris talk.

Hot mic presents two interesting possibilities:

1. He tries on his "low IQ" and "she suddenly decided to be black" attack lines and Harris calls him out so he looks like a fucking asshole to the average voter.

2. He DOESNT try on his "low IQ" and "she suddenly decided to be black" attack lines and Harris calls back to her "say it to my face" line and paints him as a weak coward for the rest of the campaign.

👏👏👏

7 for effort.

8 if it's executed well.

9 and up if it's actually a creative and fun game with good mechanics, no MTX, etc.

It just makes the rating system pointless.

According to the article, the owner who was sued stated in court:

when she was asked if she would accept a transgender woman as female if they had medically transitioned and were legally recognised as one, she "would not view that person as a woman".

So it sounds like a case of the owner wanting to apply their own view without regard for how the law recognises gender in this day and age.

I'm the opposite too, for a different reason to you. I have Sonos home theatre (soundbar, sub, rear speakers) and Chromecast with Google TV hooked up to the TV. I control music on a pixel phone or pixel tablet through the Chromecast, Sonos kinda just hangs off on the edge of my ecosystem and I don't think about it. I maybe use the app a few times a year.

But I get why if you just have a few speakers it would be a pain to use the app.

he brought Corey Lewandowski back to oversee the campaign managers

Who he previously fired as campaign manager in 2016. His campaign is a total shitshow.

I used to use the PSVR2 subreddit to stay on top of releases and reviews, so I appreciate your posts here on Lemmy 🙏

I saw you posted about the AZ Sunshine remake - that's good news and hopefully they're still stuff coming even though Sony aren't really doing first party development.

This is amazing news, it's an incredible VR title. But I'm surprised they're releasing as the bottom falls out of PSVR2.

Yeah, that headline is atrocious. The reality of the situation is sensational enough, I'd argue dialling up the outrage actually diminishes the impact.

Tango Works shutdown rightly attracted a lot of attention and criticism, but it's the closure of Roll7 and other small indies who hustled hard and punched above their weight that really bummed me out.

It's a satire piece meant to highlight the absurdity of conservative positions despite how they are presented matter-of-fact in the mainstream. Would love a non paywalled linked to read it all.

I'm not up to speed on the discovery you linked. It appears to be a vulnerability that can't be exploited remotely? If so, how is this the same as Intel chips causing widespread system instability?

Sure, you can do things that will supplement [state's abortion bans]. Absolutely. And those things are pretty open, and humane, but you have to be able to have a vote, and all I want to do is give everybody a vote, and the votes are taking place right now as we speak.

Mixing in some garbled response about voting in what should otherwise be a straightforward response tells you everything you need. His addled brain betrays his real stance: "I'll go with whatever gets me the most votes, I don't give a shit about the actual issue".

Deal maker Donnie really doing deals here. Looks like he's basically caved.

Watch MAGA base desperately ignore another obvious example yet again if his tough words and weak actions not lining up.

Elon sees himself as a truth teller discovering and interpreting information that is outside the mainstream, using his deep and savvy knowledge of the world to understand what is and isn't important or relevant and using his platform to promote it. He thinks he's the only person with the courage to speak the truth.

In reality he's just the 2024 equivalent of a boomer forwarding stupid email chains from his inbox without the slightest inclination to confirm what he's posting or ability to tell the real world from obvious fakery.

This got under my skin too.

That parasite constantly refers to user content and comments and as being the property or Reddit, and his schemes to generate profit off the back of that asset are almost always to the detriment of the user base who are keeping him in business.

Like all rich assholes, he's got this expectation that everyone will deeply respect and admire his mission to enrich himself by exploiting whatever market he has access to.

Agree 100%

In Trump terms, left = anyone he disagrees with.

Explains why he was so antagonistic toward the ABC reporter at the National Association of Black Journalists. As bad as that makes him look outside of the MAGA bubble, it lets him make the pathetic argument that ABC was mean to him so he won't go debate there. His fragile little ego is more important to him than winning the election. Good news for democracy lovers.

Also: left leaning versus right wing mouthpiece. ABC v Fox doesn't seem like a fair comparison.
