I've seen this movie. Some shit is about to go down.

I'm not religious at all (maybe a bit anti-theist) but when I saw local pastors shuttering their Methodist churches so they could rebrand as "independent" and continue spewing their hate; I knew the organization had to be doing something right.

Just from personal observation it seems like it's always too little, too late. I never seem to hear or see anything about third parties until right before an election, where they seemingly step out of the bushes and go "Hey, what about me?".

Ok.. But that's not what we are talking about is it? You said the statement 'and promptly proclaims she can't name a single policy decision she would have made differently than Biden.' was "Literally not true". But it literally is.

I don't have the time nor the want to unpack the rest of this clusterfuck campaign.

Shortly after becoming candidate, she was asked in an interview if she could think of anything she would have done different than Biden. She replied:

“There is not a thing that comes to mind... and I’ve been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact, the work that we have done,”

I voted for Harris but I think that was a monumental fuckup.

Dude, lets be real. The only reason the DNC pushed Biden out of the way was because polling numbers said the incumbent advantage (and his policies) weren't going to be enough to win it for him. So Kamala comes out of the gate with a boost (because she's not Joe) and promptly proclaims she can't name a single policy decision she would have made differently than Biden. That's not winning undecided voters from either side.

Basically you don't rate pain at 9 or 10. At that point you are unintelligible and someone rates it for you.

60% of the time, it works every time.

It looks like the drone lags behind his hand movements

No, it's his hand movements that lag behind the drone's movement. Like the drone starts moving before his hand does. Right click and watch in half speed. I'm not skeptical of the tech, other than what it's controlling, it's been around a long time. I'm just skeptical of this demonstration.

Call me a skeptic but how is that not just some guy pointing at a drone. His hand movements all look like they lag behind the drones movement.

That would make more sense. These are all incomprehensible sums of money to me anyways.

But after a second read it kind of sounds like he's trying to "invent" the fediverse,

The proposed system would work similarly to email, where users can communicate across different service providers. In this vision, social media users could maintain their connections and content regardless of which platform they choose to use.

Twitter sold for 44B. Tiktok has nearly an order of magnitude more active users and this guy thinks his 500m offer is even in the ballpark?

My mouse won't stop constantly scrolling and a replacement is a couple days away. How can I temporarily disable the scroll wheel? All the instructions I can find deal with xorg or xinput which I do not have. I can't find any scroll wheel setting in either settings or piper.

Optionally just being able to disable it in firefox would save my sanity.

Thanks for any help.
