sorely disappointed to learn that "vibe coding" has absolutely nothing to do with making programmable functions for my hitachi

the “trans tipping point” was an opportunity to educate widely on trans existence, HRT and its functions, the nature of transness in children and adults, and so on. instead, we...what? what happened, exactly?
biggest blackpill of the past few years for me was realizing that all the cis normie progressives fell for the misinformation campaign instantly. they didn't even realize it was happening because they had never been exposed to any other framing on trans issues
The most maddening thing about the Sensible Moderate Approach to trans rights is that there is (purposefully, imo) no acknowledgement of sheer volume of hateful disinformation propagated about trans people daily.

We face this from religious extremists to billionaires to obsessive journalists.

iirc left and right are also just functions of seating arrangements across that aisle
Worth pointing out, since US politics doesn't have a literal 'aisle', that the term comes from the British Parliament.

Where it was supposedly designed to be two swords'-lengths wide, precisely because they were concerned what members might do to each other if they *could* reach across...
not interested in reaching across the aisle as much as Reachering across the aisle

Massie: Hegseth weaponized a disciplinary process to chill the legitimate oversight functions of Congress

Bugs perform useful functions in the world

Or maybe Bluesky is just wrong and doesn’t understand how government functions at all.

⚡️Power to Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant cut, restored, IAEA says.

The plant lost connection to its sole 330-kilovolt external power line, forcing it to rely on emergency diesel generators for cooling and safety functions, the IAEA announced around noon local time.

"average artificial intelligence optimizes 3 utility functions a year" factoid actualy just statistical error. average AI optimizes 0 utility functions per year. Alignment Georg, who lives in a cave & optimizes over 10,000 utility functions each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

No. There has to be a line, somewhere. ICE is out of control, and it needs to suffer the institutional death penalty. Reconstitute any essential functions somewhere else if you absolutely must, but ICE itself must die for what it’s done.
It’s time for ICE to take the masks off, turn the body cameras on, and start answering to the American people who pay for their bloated budget.

And to be clear, I am not an anarchist, but while I want this to be humorous, I also do not want it to be a caricature strawman of anarchist principles. The city functions. I'm not saying it's perfect, but it functions.

im so excited to play monk in evercold. idc how its evolved form functions, i wanna play punch job soooooo bad.

Idk, I think of them as two very separate functions. Tabs are what I want to read now. Bookmarks are things I read and liked enough that I kept them for later. Not every tab deserves to be promoted to bookmark
My boss went on a rant about how browser bookmarks and tabs are two different ways of doing the same thing, and now I can't stop thinking about it

But I dared to post this on Mastodon first and the replies were "they are not the same at ALL, you FOOL"

No capacity to entertain a novel perspective!

Everywhere: string casing functions.

It can be good to distinguish rumours, legend, and gossip in your game as they all serve different functions. 🧵 #OSR #DND

I am a critic of incrementalism. But even if you aren't, the logic of incrementalism only functions if movement is forward, not backward. It fundamentally cannot apply to what is presently happening to trans rights.

How the actual fuck can critical functions like hospitals be so lax around security

this site functions the same way my brain does: sporadically and poorly without severe assistance

We also owe a debt of gratitude to the thousands of election officials and volunteers from both parties who helped ensure a smooth election and carried out one of the most essential functions of our democracy.

there are no competent fascists. fascism is a worldview built on conspiracy theories and racism; it is by definition completely divorced from reality. no one completely divorced from reality is going to have three dimensional chess planning functions.

they're all fools.

Each time Donald Trump casts doubt on the essential functions of our democracy, he seriously injures the country. He should stop immediately, then resign or be impeached.
