Whatever AI shit duckduckgo uses just told me that the Equal Rights Amendment was ratified in 1972

Who knew?

I really hate AI. The browser will not allow me to turn it off and stay off. Every time I open the browser, it's back on

@Mary625 The integration of artificial stupidity has made web search almost useless.

I was trying to search earlier today for what features to look for in a good Vietnamese coffee maker — a phin. I could not convince the search that 'phin' was not a typo of 'phone'.

(I was eventually able to find a useful "10 Best" review by finding a different way to word the search query.)

I'll repeat this again — if you're using Google search, by adding one additional 'udm=14' parameter to the end of your search URL, you can get a search with no "AI", no ads, no "sponsored links". Just the facts, Ma'am.

Imagine a grade school kid trying to do a social studies report on the fight for women's rights. They're shutting down school libraries. Many school libraries have banned books.

What the hell. This is really terrible

This is a really good thread. This is the reason I'm here. People vehemently disagreeing but continue civil discourse.

It's one year today that I lost my beautiful little sister. It only becomes harder as time goes by

Gorgeous, talented, sweet who endured much too much suffering.

Tell me Israel is acting within the boundaries of international law, then prove it.

You know why you can't? Over 150 journalists murdered. Al Jazeera shuttered in Israel. No one allowed in Palestine to record what is going on. Associated Press equipment confiscated because it had a live feed in Gaza

I've been trying to have my insulin refilled all week. I've had problems with the Walgreens that is closest to me for various reasons but moreso with this particular prescription. The pharmacist I spoke with today.... I'll leave that part at that

But the main problem is my insurance, which cost a friggin fortune, with a large deductible, will no longer cover the generic insulin. The brand name is in short supply.

Insulin. What the ever loving fuck

It is pretty amazing that the United States government has been able to sell "home of the free" "best nation on earth" for as long as it has.

@Mary625 it is kinda easy to do that if everyone knows nothing about other countries.

Another reason to ban books

@Mary625 @rrb Ironically, a lot of the border crisis is because the US destabilized governments and made countries unsafe.

The Israelis are commiting genocide, out in the open, for everyone to see, and the world is doing nothing.

Mary625,
@Mary625@mstdn.social avatar

One hundred and forty three journalists murdered in Gaza

143 journalists killed by a country claiming, democracy and righteousness

This is a genocide that Israel doesn't want reported

Mary625,
@Mary625@mstdn.social avatar

@simon_brooke

This has not happened in my lifetime. The fact the US government isn't even mentioning makes me believe that they are helping Israel find each journalist. I think it's part of what Aaron Bushnell was talking about.

The pictures people are posting of the northern lights are BEAUTIFUL!! I wish I could see them

Has anyone in the area been able to see them?

There is no way to post too many pictures of the northern lights

Another bad guy with a gun killed a good guy with a gun. If neither had guns, the good guy would still be alive.

The bad guy with a gun was in lawful possession of the weapon that is meant for killing another human being. That's what the bad guy with the gun was doing, hunting for a Black man. He even has a hunting permit. It's called a police badge.

The Arkon Beacon Photos: Kent State May 4 shootings - Confrontation turns into national tragedy

https://www.beaconjournal.com/picture-gallery/news/local/2020/05/01/photos-kent-state-may-4/66540586007/

Last year I posted a link to an article on Alan Canfora's website regarding Ohio National Guard's order to fire on students at Kent State. This year, I can't use that link because the website is gone. That makes me very sad. Alan Canfora was the student shot in the wrist at the Kent State protest on May 4, 1970.

I had to put my window a/c unit in yesterday. That's the earliest I've ever had to use a/c. I'm almost afraid of what this summer will be like

@onelson

Wow! That's as bad as Chicago. We've had rollercoaster temperatures as well but I was able to deal with the heat until yesterday because the humidity was low.

In what area are you?

@Mary625 I'm just west of Portland, OR.

University of Chicago had right-wing attackers come and they threatened anti war protestors.

The attackers were called "Pro American and Pro Israel counter protesters."

How is wanting a genocide to stop anti anything other than war?

This country has some real problems. Some really serious problems when people who are trying to stop a war are the bad guys

@Mary625

this has been true of every u.s. war. every single one.

Mary625,
@Mary625@mstdn.social avatar

@davidpmaurer

Yeah. True. This feels worse to me somehow. At least for my lifetime. Maybe because what is being protested is the worst war since world war two. Calling it war doesn't make sense really. This isn't war, it's a genocide. Over 14,000 children in 7 months.
