Oof

Homeschooling not beating the “Laboratory for coking up the most unhinged people you know” allegations, yet again.

This is what I imagine every time I see a “kill your local pedophile” vinyl decal on the back of someone’s car (which is more often then I’d like)

Yeah, lets hitch our wagon even tighter to the anchor pulling us under the water. Cool.

“The federal government would have the power, through its voting shares and an equal representation on each company’s board, to block decisions that hurt our citizens and to push for policies that help them.” Yeah, ok sure. Because our representatives are very interested in protecting the public from corporations. Like, come on you wet rag, the only reason something like this works in places like China is because their government isn’t bought and paid for by said corporations.

Heartwarming :Kelly:

If anyone is going to pop the bubble created by Open AI it’ll be the Open AI shareholders!

I run Lemmy on a home server no prob. I’ve been able to hack away at the UI in the past without much issue. Idk. Once you know where things are, its not that hard.

What am I a joke??

Funny you say that, I just watched a video about that: This Ridiculous $200 AI GPU Shouldn’t Be This Good. Its a old data center GPU with an adapter for its SXM connector to convert it to PCI-E.

Do you ever like, watch a walk through of cities or places elsewhere in the world? Just uncut everyday walk through a city?

There is a Chinese women on YouTube who does this and her videos are very grounding. Walking around Siria or Iran and having a very normal experience; people being generous, being funny, being cool, set against their conditions which are often very difficult.

You might not know these people lived under a “theocracy” based on her direct experience. People are just living their lives, working, watching children, going to school, going to church, playing games, listening to music.

Her channel is here: https://youtube.com/@littlechineseeverywhere

I highly recommend it.

Getting high on Jesus!

infowars.com still points to the Alex Jones infowars, and they’re live right now. I doubt they have any intentions of turning over the domain name or rebranding themselves.

Edit: Ah here is the answer,

That sale was scuttled by a bankruptcy court. Now, The Onion has re-emerged with a new plan: licensing the website from Gregory Milligan, the court-appointed manager of the site.

On Monday, Mr. Milligan asked Maya Guerra Gamble, a judge in Texas’s Travis County District Court overseeing the disposition of Infowars, to approve that licensing agreement in a court filing. Under the terms, The Onion’s parent company, Global Tetrahedron, would pay $81,000 a month to license Infowars.com and its associated intellectual property — such as its name — for an initial six months, with an option to renew for another six months.

The licensing deal has been agreed to by The Onion and the court-appointed administrator. But it is not effective until Judge Gamble approves it, and Mr. Jones could appeal any ruling. That means the fate of Infowars remains in limbo until the court rules, probably sometime in the next two weeks. Mr. Jones continues to operate Infowars.com and host its weekday program, “The Alex Jones Show.”

Turns out, it’s probably easier than you think, if you can secure a job.

Key findings

• The 18-year cost of raising a child grew to $303,418 after tax exemptions and credits, according to a LendingTree analysis, even though the cost of the first five years dipped slightly. That’s an average of $16,857 annually over 18 years, up 1.9% from a year ago. However, annual costs in the first five years decreased slightly from $29,419 to $29,325 (or 0.3%), driven primarily by a dip in day care costs.
• Hawaii is the most expensive state to raise a small child, with annual costs for the first five years reaching $40,342. Maryland and Massachusetts follow at $36,419 and $34,247. Conversely, annual costs are lowest in Mississippi ($17,148), Alabama ($18,019) and South Dakota ($18,622). All three states have infant day care costs below $10,000 annually, helping them rank among the cheapest states to raise a small child.
• Fourteen states saw the annual cost of raising a small child rise at least 10.0%, including four with growth of 20.0% or more. Annual costs rose in 39 states and the District of Columbia. Nebraska (27.4%), Montana (24.5%), Maine (24.4%) and Wisconsin (23.3%) all saw significant year-over-year growth in the annual cost of raising a small kid.  - Families in six states are projected to spend more than $300,000 raising a child over 18 years, with Hawaii leading at $412,661, followed by Alaska ($365,047) and Maryland ($326,360). By contrast, projected costs are lowest in New Hampshire ($201,963), the District of Columbia ($202,115) and South Carolina ($204,213). Kansas and Alaska saw the largest increases in projected 18-year child-rearing costs, each rising 23.5% from last year’s report.
• Families spend an average of 21.9% of their income on the basic annual expenses to raise a small child, down from 22.6% in our 2025 analysis. The percentage is lowest in the District of Columbia (13.9%) and highest in Hawaii (27.4%).

Before my oldest was out of daycare we were paying almost $3000 a month for both of them, just for daycare alone. Add things like, dance classes, swim lessons, food, transportation, medical expenses, etc. I wouldn’t doubt it was double that. Now that the oldest is out of daycare, It’s dropped a lot, down to $1250 a month. However, it sure doesn’t feel like it. It would seem that as soon as one kid exits daycare, capital has a crisis and now costs for shit have doubled negating the reduction in daycare costs.

It’s just the Downloads folder, that’s where people keep all their important documents.

They both screamed as they frantically searched for the actuators, never having confirmed where they were, or if they ever existed at all.
