“Sorry babe, but your canthal tilt is wayyyyy off and I highly doubt your IQ is within the required 7 points of mine (15 points would be acceptable of you rated 7 or higher on the objective attractiveness rating scale)”.
Despite Elon being insane, the idea of brain-computer interfaces could be really great. I’m thinking of people with disabilities or debilitating injuries. This could enable prosthetics with full dexterity that you can control. It could be life changing for some people.
I don’t know if that is the first thing Elon is aiming for, but any breakthroughs in the technology that could lead to it becoming a legitimate option to improve people’s lives, I think would be a good thing.
On a political and governmental level, I’m not proud at all personally. There is very little that our government did that I think should inspire the rest of the world to follow suit. Maybe stopping a few terrible things that it should have never been doing in the first place, but that’s hardly anything to be proud of when it’s long overdue and with still plenty of other bad things that it’s starting or failing to stop.
But as far as the people who live here go, there are a lot of them that I am proud to know and be around. There are some great people here, and maybe they are partially influenced by some good deeds from the country’s past, or at least the ideals it promoted. Not government leaders thag would affect things on a large scale, but genuinely good people who make things more bearable for those in their vicinity. Ironically some of them are in demographics that this country is not currently respecting or defending enough.
My teachers were pretty cool and they made sure to refute any positive spins people tried to attribute to slavery. Some kids came in thinking slave owners treated their slaves just like family, and the teachers shut that right down.
I’m worried about the education system. I bet those same teachers would have gotten into trouble for saying that now, being that it is apparently against the curriculum. I always thought that outside media was misleading and that education was supposed to be the truth. Now it seems like education is misleading, and it is a scary scary thing that outside media might be leaned on to learn the truth.
I’ll be honest I did not watch MTG’s speech, and I don’t know the full context. But I don’t understand how that stuff is supposed to sound negative. She actually wrote that down and had someone proofread it and no one said “actually, this kinda makes it sound like he’s doing good things”
And that isn’t even getting into their drivers and software. Foolish me bought a printer with a scanner and thought I’d be able to just install one little piece of software and be able to print and scan. How silly of me to forget that I to search Google to find instructions that weren’t provided by HP, and download an application that the printer’s instructions did not tell me to install, in order to get the it working.
I almost want this printer to die just so I can never own an HP printer again in my life.
Yeah, I think that’s because reddit just has the hugest communities for individual games and niche interests. There are some lemmy communities for some of the games I follow but there are like seven users in each of them. Lemmy is getting really good for broader topics like “games” or “technology” but isn’t quite there yet for more narrow interests like “Dolphin emulator” for example.
