I don't know if I'd read it to that extent.

Over $200 million in donations and full control of a massive social media network is nothing to sneeze at. Not to say I don't think he wouldn't have helped rig it, I just think his statement could be taken as an understanding of the money and control of X being massive contributions. Hell, he took the "@america" handle away from a user to use it in support of Trump.

Not sure tbh. We have whole communities that are just considered "55+ only" I just hate seeing them when I was looking for a house, it's so depressing.

senior-oriented communities maybe?

The bane of my existence...

"Oh hey that house is actually affordable! ....oh 55+ community only. Great... Well here's a nice twice burned down shed masquerading as a house for "only" 300k what a steal!"

Thanks for adding the credit where it's due!

I had just gotten to work and was browsing Lemmy before I had to actually get started so I didn't spend the time to look up who actually did it lol

I wonder how many are actually independent but vote Democrat. That's what I've done since 2016 because I don't want to register myself on an "enemies list."

The chart posted above seems to show a different issue:

More landlords! Yay!

Democrats: sorry, if you're under 70 you're too young for us.

Republicans: give me all your children!!!

Excess wealth. Wealth rots the brain.

They literally did the opposite with foxes. Some guy kept breeding the nicest ones until he got a "breed" that wouldn't want to murder you on sight. I'm pretty sure levels of aggression absolutely are something innate in some animals.

Man that shed is sturdy! The wind blew the whole world sideways, but it stayed upright!

Since the green party is home to Russian plants, what choices does the non right wing US citizen now have to represent them?

The same as we've always had, none.

Countdown to: "I have The Cleanest Clubs™©® in the entire World! It is a FACT that all of My Beautiful Clubs earn the Highest Marks Possible every single year! This is a Deep State Democrat Communist Venezuela Illegal Immigrant Antisemite Conspiracy to hurt my business! Political Hit Job!!"

All that aside, I used to be a repair technician for a specific brand of ice cream machines and out of all the types of stores and kitchens I'd go in to, country clubs were almost always the worst. I'm glad I'm too poor to ever go into one through any door other than the service door.

 

25 minute exposure of NGC 2264 taken with a seestar s50. Testing the new denoise function added in the most resent seestar firmware update.

No further post processing so colors seem to be a bit off as a result of the denoise feature, but otherwise an amazing result as most images from the seestar s50 contain a lot of RGB noise!

 
 

Hey Lemmy! Time to do some digging!

I was sent a link from a friend about some Totally Cool™ guy who has close ties to JD Vance: Curtis Yarvin. Anyone aware of this guy and his desires? I won't put the link in here as my last post was removed because of it, but a comment within the thread is copied below.

Apparently Japanese media covered the story as was posted to Reddit, but there doesn't seem to be too much talk of this in the US.

From a comment in the reddit discussion: “Curtis Yarvin is a far-right ‘intellectual’ that wants to end democracy and install what I can only really describe as cyberpunk feudalism. He’s suggested turning the United States into a patchwork of corporate fiefdoms ruled with absolute impunity by CEOs, as well as putting mandatory ankle monitors on all unemployed and poor people. This sounds like a joke, but I’m serious. JD Vance is not just a fan of him intellectually, but also a personal friend. As someone who has known about Yarvin for several years, it’s been really concerning seeing how he could potentially become a Rasputin-like figure in the event of a Trump victory. Beyond this, Yarvin has also spent many years advocating for what sounds eerily like Project 2025.”

For those familiar with Star Citizen lore, he apparently wants to turn the US into the Stanton system “lol” …
