Science: gathering evidence to confirm your hypothesis.
"Science": finding evidence to support your conclusion.

MAGA/MAHA: "they're the same picture"

Saying they are complicit suggests they're quietly looking the other way. If you look at our good friends at Fox or Newsmax, they are enthusiastically going whole-hog into it.

Where are we on the hardness scale? Pudding? Have we finally made it to Jello?

I think we might be at oversized bean-bag full of baby duck down feathers. It's still a far cry from pudding, though

No, it really is. Tankies live in a fantasy land, thinking the wildfire is greener on the other side of the fence.

Something can be said about unregulated, late-stage capitalism and American imperialism. The former is a malignant cancer that consumes all in its wake and demands infinite growth for itself and the ones who direct it. The latter, in service of the former, is a threat to the rest of the developed and undeveloped world.

Those are entirely reasonable criticisms, calling an apple an apple. Unchecked capitalism empowering sociopathic, self-serving oligarchs will kill us all.

Genuinely thinking of China (or Russia) as anything other than a competitor to America is just trading one leather boot for a different flavor of leather boot. They are both capitalist states, and they are both acting in their own self-interests of cultural and economic dominance. The only effective difference is that one calls itself a republic while presenting the illusion of democracy, and the other calls itself communist while presenting the illusion of Marxism.

People with high end systems (5090s etc) are apparent having a lot of performance issues, and are unable to run the game at 60fps/4k without AI upscaling or frame generation.

It's even better when you realize that the performance degrades the longer you've been playing that session. It's unoptimized and leaky.

During this admin, no doubt about it. Previous ones at least had competent leadership that were hired for their expertise instead of loyalty, however.

You do realize that the original post is on lemmy.zip and not lemmygrad, right?

Didn't even need that long. Right-wing outlets (Fox, Daily Mail) are now posting articles about "sources" (which they do not elaborate on) confirming to them that shooter's roommate was his "transgender partner".

The Daily Mail tries very hard to imply a romantic partnership in the first few paragraphs despite no evidence of such, then go on to clarify they don't know the relationship details after priming the reader.

Charlie Kirk shooting suspect 'was living with transgender partner who handed over texts about assassination plot to the police'

The partner – who shared a three-bedroom apartment with Robinson in Utah – is said to be 'fully co-operating' with the FBI.

The room-mate is understood to have handed over text messages allegedly sent by Robinson after the killing, apparently saying where to retrieve the rifle used in the assassination after it was left in a wooded area.

A source told Fox News: 'The shooter was living with a transgender man who was transitioning from male to female.

'The status of their relationship isn't known. They were friends who enjoyed playing video games together.

Fox, as usual, doesn't give a shit about waiting for more evidence and just says what they think would get the most engagement:

Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin lived with transgender partner who is now cooperating with FBI: Officials

Bureau officials confirmed that Tyler Robinson, 22, was in a "romantic relationship" with the unnamed person, who is a male transitioning to a female, and that they shared an apartment in Saint George, Utah. Those FBI officials told Fox News Digital that Robinson's partner is fully cooperating with the FBI's investigation.

What a fool-proof solution, Brian. In fact, it's such a perfect solution that there's no need for any other solution. You should call it "the Final Solution" and see how far you get with that.

She's disabled and got left by her husband who escaped via helicopter.

If he treated socioeconomic minorities the same way he treated his wife, it's no wonder they did what they did.

Let me fix that for you:

~~Reactions~~ Anything that doesn't align with their feelings is fake news to them.

You could publish two contradictory statements at the same time, and they would cherry-pick the one they agree with while dismissing the one they don't as fake or liberal propaganda.

I’m kinda low key worried he will be from a conservative family who realized there is a lot of bullshit and started aligning with the left. Because that will be a dog whistle for loyalists to kill freedom of speech online.

He likely is.

The Daily Mail is normally a worthless heap of right-wing garbage, but they turned out to be somewhat informative (and with zero journalistic ethics) by posting family photos of the suspect: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15086467/amp/Tyler-Robinson-Charlie-Kirk-killer-identified-Utah-Trump.html

• One of those photos is Robinson smiling while wearing a Trump costume for Halloween.

• The family is also religious, evidenced by the dad had him go to a minister before turning himself in.

• Both parents are registered Republicans.
