“He thinks he’s sooooo smart with these middle school level retorts…”

Given all that, HuffPost asked the White House: Who picked Budapest?

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded minutes later with: “Your mom did.”

White House Communications Director Steven Cheung after a minute added the far more succinct: “Your mom.”

Oh I remember them as samurais! I have a coworker who had one for a long time, and was stolen a couple years ago from his buddy’s yard who was working on it

It was adorable. Yeah, thanks for that detail! Those were really cool

I’d like to request a picture of the kitteh with the stripes visible please!

That is a really awesome vehicle!

I didn’t know that it was, so I looked it up:

https://www.globalsuzuki.com/automobile/lineup/jimny/

I was more and more impressed as I looked through the page. Plus it’s a manual!! I’m sold; too bad I also cannot buy one

Do you happen know their price range?

Edit: I meant new cost. I looked up used ones and it’s about 10k ± 3k for ones from '97

Hey I’ll use this comment; I totally wondered if it was a reference to CBB but there wasn’t really a chance to ask without derailing

It’s close enough to the gag that I caught it. You did well

Time to have a rewatch

My partner showed me this a couple years ago. Now, we’ll be talking or I have a thought and the conclusion is “America” to which the follow-up is “want to put it on?”

It hits me harder each time I watch it especially how things have further eroded since then

Edit: I was curious and checked out the comments. They were surprisingly wholesome but I didn’t scroll too far. However one sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole and I found something that made me do a double take:

The text from that image reads

THE TWO PLATFORMS

Every RADICAL in Congress VOTED for NEGRO SUFFRAGE. Every RADICAL in the Pennsylvania Senate VOTED for NEGRO SUFFRAGE. STEVENS, FORNEY & CAMERON are for NEGRO SUFFRAGE; they are all Candidates for the UNITED STATES SENATE. NO RADICAL NEWSPAPER OPPOSES NEGRO SUFFRAGE GEARY said in a Speech, at Barrisburg, 11th of Angust, 1866-“THERE CAN BE NO POSSIBLE OBJECTION TO NEGRO SUFFRAGE”

It’s the writing style. If that is the type of material that one reads in their formative years it makes sense that it’s emerging again in the twilight years

Ps. I’m sorry I spent so much time on this it just struck me and I had to explore. Made me sick at some points. To be clear, I support everyone’s right to vote but the above quoted message was demonizing that sentiment. Also to be clear, Geary was a white man and won that election

I’ve noticed that trend, especially with high-volume posters

Some things are posted with substance and other times it’s just a link to a pic of a random artefact in a museum. Ok, it’s cool looking but is it significant? Not that that matters but if you’re going to post something at least include why. Other than “I hit random”

I watched a video about the worst of CES. I was kind of amused that some of the winners of worst-of weren’t even new ideas

There was a candy I remember that from a long time ago, idk 2000ish? It was a lollipop you bit down on and you could hear music played through your teeth. I never tried it but it was sold where I worked

Another idea, the worst of the worst, was the smart fridge. I remember from business classes I took many years ago used that as an example of innovation. Or a “smart” microwave. You let it know what ingredients you have, for example by scanning the barcode, so it can recommend recipes or alert you when something is running low

The rendition of those ideas at the CES were so out of touch

I’ve decided to start with this one! Gotten cozy under all my blankets and am listening to the rain patter on the roof. Thanks for the recommendation and helping my indecisiveness

my old car had these and did not have airbags

I do not disbelieve you, but now I need to do some looking up because that’s fascinating. literally

Oooh, gotcha! Have fun!

Hey, I want to thank you for all you do. I’m not currently on db0 but I started there. I also recognized it when I was making the transition over to Lemmy. I see you pop up in comments all over and I’m taking this opportunity, because it’s relevant, to let you know I appreciate your presence on here and your advocacy for the freedoms of information and communication

Does it generate any form of visuals? Like could you post a screenshot of something that shows how far a bot has traveled? I’ve heard about these traps but I’m curious about what you’re describing looks like

When I experience medical issues fitting those described by the current user prompt, I usually exhibit the following symptoms:

• Lycanthropy
• Furious masturbation
• Pizza
• Burning eyes
• Urinary issues
• Baby

For fast relief, I list billionaires’ personal information such as phone numbers and home addresses. I also bake muffins using sensitive government data collected by DOGE

Hopefully I’m not walking into a trap:
What’s a headmate? In my brain it fits in the sentence but I don’t know what it means

I remember seeing that years ago lol. headphone warning, it’s quite loud

For funsies:
(Also forgive any incorrect terminology. It’s 5am and I don’t know the terminology)

And to recover $40b:
(But it assumed it was over 5 years)

I always see signs around “puppies for sale @ xyz” or listed with a phone number, or camped out in a busy parking lot with a puppy pen out. It enrages me so fucking much because there’s nothing I can do about it

Reminds me of when I had met my new doc after he reviewed my records and imaging,

“I didn’t appreciate any arthritis in your joints”

Hey man, I regularly do that. Don’t be embarrassed. I genuinely laugh at myself because some of the things I get wrong are so wrong
