What about you chapos?

How do I get it?

It seems like they're all really expensive, with most halfway decent ones being over $1000. It also seems like they're really finicky and hard to get working consistently.

Are there any 3d printers that are actually a refined product, something you can just get and start using? I don't want to spend most of my time fiddling with the settings and having to buy a ton of upgrades in the hopes of getting it to be a functional machine that can actually be used to print out parts.

If there are any out there that are basically self-maintaining or highly automated in terms of configuring themselves correctly, is it only the really expensive ones, or are there more affordable sort of "get and forget" printers that you can just set up and start using?

Specifically I'm unable to change my keyboard input language when in the app, emojis don't always work, and there is no way to use hexbear emojis in app.

If there is an app or there that solves these issues I'm all for it

Looking for a good quality pair of over ear headphones to listen to music and podcasts on my bus and train home. I've got a big ass head so something adjustable and preferably Bluetooth. My budget is $150 or so.

Who's up?

How would you use this nose?

Genuinely curious

A mystery wound is any unexplained cut/bruise/scar/scab/injury about your body.

A Chinese communist news site full of happy news is called Sixth Tone.

Another is China's official newspaper, People's Daily.

I love what I've read on there, but I tend to barely read articles. And please, if you spot an podcast in English on one of these sites, let me know!

It's started giving all kinds of reccomendation bs, including firefox extensions and shit. Wth? Is this new?

Westoids have suddenly started saying /kiv/, which alone makes me want to say /kiːɛv/, like my parents always said.

Neither is even the endonym, which is more like /kɪjiu̯/

Since a few days, im unable to watch any youtube videos with any foss clients(Tubular, NewPipe, etc...), is that a consequence of youtube starting to do ads injections ?

Edit : Libretube seems to work, thanks to thoses who mention it.

Any tips or ideas on choosing a final year project? I need to do a project to graduate from computer engineering, currently having a hard time finding what to do, I'm really in blank and have anxiety I don't know what I could do.

idk, I was thinking about this a lot with the Chapo interview and how completely fraudulent the coverage of Israel was. It feels like we shouldn't let liberals get away with this shit by burying it in the past and pretending they always held more "moderate" beliefs. Even I had forgotten about the "putting Jewish babies in ovens" claim and I'm really fucking online about this mythbusting stuff (ask me about any story involving the DPRK). I think it got overshadowed by the "40 beheaded babies," which admittedly there is more memory of because the WH has struggled to get Biden to stop lying about it.

There are some rare cases of people remembering these hoaxes, probably the best example being "Saddam's human shredder," where there is memory of how there was this hoax that mainstream news pushed and libs completely bought, while the next closest example, WMDs, is something that Democrats kind of just pin on Republicans despite Dems also falling for it/perpetrating fraud for it (just not for quite as long).

I've got easily another dozen examples off the top of my head, but you get the idea. It's sort of the cousin of the retroactive invention of reality that we see with cases like MLK, how people pretend northern whites were broadly on his side and ridiculous shit like that, or even that he wasn't still hated by whites throughout the country at the time of his death, and it was the long-term impact of the campaigns lead by himself and others that ultimately forced even most of white culture to acknowledge his side as being that of justice.

It might be wishful thinking. I might just be poisoning my brain with social media, but the absolute slop I've been reading on twitter for the past couple weeks is leading me to believe we may be witnessing the death of the Sixth Party System. Liberals framing recent events as "Working Class Joe" locked in a battle against the DNC Elites, calling publications like the New York Times and Axios fake news chaos agents. Long established alliances between institutions and constituencies seem to be falling apart in a way I have never seen before. It has been such a captivating dumpster fire to behold.

I know "Dems in Disarray" is a common election-season trope, but I have never seen this level of disarray in my life. This shit surely has to be cooked, right? Like this is boiling down to QAnon vs. BlueAnon at this point, with no tangible attachment to policy prescriptions, or even reality. We're supposed to re-elect an octogenarian genocidarie with a life-long political record of strangling the working class while building up the police state to stop fascism. We're supposed to not lose a single election until I'm 80, toothless, infirm, but still working overtime in 110 degree heat on an orange plantation in Yukon to pay my rent to Blackstone while waiting for all the Trump 45 judges to die?

Most policy distinctions on race, immigration, class, labor, religion, LGBTQ+ rights, bodily autonomy, foreign policy, the war on drugs, militarism, incarceration, and economic rights have been reduced to NOTHING but lip service for a long time now, and with the supreme court holding veto power over the other two branches, the era of pedantic liberal proceduralism isn't even a convincing fairy tale. Between the splintering of political constituencies and institutions, and the inevitable fait accompli which is necessary to bypass the impasse of the US's constitutional institutions, I really think this thing is toast. Am I drunk?

I find it irritating, but maybe I need to be more understanding about shit

Seriously

Who are we voting for this election?

Voting in a bourgeois democracy yada yada... But seriously if we all came together and went out to , who'd it be? I saw joke responses for Markiplier that seemed to gain traction on tiktok the same day, other comments here and on YouTube proposed Jill Stein(or it was just yt and my mind is playing tricks). Asking because I had had a discussion with my roommate (the other roommate that isn't the LL) and he said something along the lines of if I don't vote I don't get to complain, which i don't agree with but understand the sentiment. That and we discussed more of an importance of local elections rather than national. And idk I'm not one for caring anymore. If things were better and more hopeful I'd try but teeth hurt and it's not getting better, hair is falling out, body is weak, diet is shit, youth is gone, and I've nothing to show for it. So I definitely don't care anymore and more than likely won't participate myself unless I really see some sort of movement even then I'd probably walk into traffic before voting again.
