You’re not informing me of anything and none of what you just said disputes or argues against anything that I said. I am opposed to an abortion ban. I’m just pointing out that what you said is not accurate and is an exaggeration. This is meant to be a community of moderate, informed political discussion. You’re not being honest or representative about what the situation is.

I would and will never vote for Trump but what you’ve said is an exaggeration in many places and Trump has not even endorsed or promoted Project 2025. He is also on record stating that he won’t sign a federal abortion ban. You can stick to things he’s actually said to point out how bad he is. You don’t have to say things like “he shares values with Hitler” to try and scare people. By that standard, every Christian shares values with Hitler.

Did you read the article? That is not what this is at all.

I mean, he’s dead so you’ll never know if you have the same tastes as him…

I’m not sure but that’s a potential solution. You’d have to find the older APK somewhere but I feel like it should work since it’s just a Bluetooth connection to the toy.

The funny thing about this is that the first time I had that moment of realization was when I got the Sphero BB-8 toy from my kids for Christmas. It had a dedicated app. The reason it’s funny is because, out of all the things that I own, it’s the only app-driven one that still works. Sphero just merged it into their main app. Once that app stops getting updated, this toy will cease to work despite everything about it being functional. ☹️

What in the fuck are you on about?

It’s not pride in the lines drawn, it’s pride in the positive things that your community does on a national scale. That’s the point. You take the good things that you see elsewhere and you decide that you want to emulate that.

There are multiple ways. Statistical significance is largely used to determine whether a sample size is representative but it’s flawed on its own for some sample sizes as small effects can get exaggerated the larger the sample gets. Look up the methods for determining effect sizes and confidence intervals to determine the best route to go to see what minimum sample size is necessary to both have high confidence in the accuracy of the hypothesis and to ensure that the results have enough statistical power to detect the effect in question.

Only in that they want to move it to a more extreme version of what they already perceive it to be. They are not looking to change it based on any meaningful measure. Nationalists are almost always conservatives.

How? That statement means nothing unless you explain it.

Patriotism and nationalism has zero place in society.

Not true. Patriotism is wanting and seeking the best for your country. Because our society relies on those physical divides, patriotism would actually improve society. Nationalism is deciding that whatever your country is doing already is the best simply by virtue of self-identification. There is no desire for improvement outside of an individual perception so it, functionally, can never offer any improvement for society.

One is potentially beneficial. The other is cancerous.

It used to be a given that Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon followed along perfectly with the movie The Wizard of Oz. If you started the album after a specific MGM lion roar, you could play the album on repeat and it would fit eerily close to certain scenes.

For me, this question comes up because I was playing Spider-Man 2 for PS5 and had Unicorn by GUNSHIP playing. I may have had it on shuffle but the number of times things lined up was crazy good. “Tastes Like Venom” as Peter gets the black suit for the first time, “Monster In Paradise” as he beats the snot out of the Hunters, and “Darkness for Dreams” as Miles and Martin Li enter Peter’s consciousness are literal perfection. The only outliers are the parts of the game, like Howard’s mission, where the song is meant to accompany that section of gameplay. Otherwise, I could play it on repeat and feel some kind of weird connection between the two separate but awesome pieces of art.

Lemmy, what’s your video gaming equivalent? I don’t just mean albums that are cool combined with a game. I mean a combo that gels in the same way as DSotM and Wizard of Oz.

Apologies if this isn't the best place to post this...

I'm not able to receive phone calls anymore after updating to iOS17. My friend told me that they tried calling me 4 times and got a busy signal every time. I told them that my phone never rang (which is true) but, when I went to my missed calls, it shows 4 missed calls from them. I asked them to call me again (while I was looking at my phone) and the notification banner for the call comes in for a split second but is "greyed out" and says their name and then "User busy" before disappearing.

I've restarted my phone, checked to make sure I didn't accidentally block them, added them to my Favorites, and even had someone else try to call me and all result in the same thing. My computer rings via FaceTime when some people call me but it seems like my phone won't ring at all and everyone just gets a busy signal.

Any ideas? Anyone else getting this after the update? I've searched for a while now but every reference to "User busy" is old and just says something to the effect of "restart your phone" or "change your settings to allow unknown/junk callers". This isn't either of those things, though.

I just swiped accidentally from the top of the screen and uncovered an off-screen ad in Voyager. What is this and is this disclosed anywhere?

Edit: Why is this post being downvoted? This is a legitimate bug/issue. What an unwelcoming community…

At the Comedy Cafe for a stand-up show and this woman in the very front started ignoring the headliner comedian for making sex jokes because she was a woman. The comedian (who handled it expertly) dead-ass had to stop the show to ask the woman what her deal was cuz she was on like TikTok or some shit. The lady then started to complain that the comedian wasn’t very good at making jokes so the comedian let this stupid fool get up there with the mic to explain why she was ok with ruining the show for everyone else.

I have never seen anything like this. The first 2 comedians were men who made just as many sex jokes (including a whole bit on Jackson Pollack using semen as a painting medium). This woman even participated in one of the bits with the men saying that she was trying to convert her friend, who was with her at the show, into a lesbian by “serving her some clam chowder”. I’m just still in awe that this lady had the nerve to get up on stage and try to steal the mic back from the comedian. It was such surreal iamthemaincharacter bullshit. I can’t believe it happened in real life.

First time playing through AC: Revelations after 100%-ing the first 3 games and I can't seem to find all the Animus Data Fragments. When I hit 50, it gave me a message that they've been unlocked on the map but I'm at 92 collected and there are no more shown on the map. Is this a bug? Did I miss a few early ones or something? I'd rather not have to go through a guide online and check if I got every single one by going to each spot one at a time.
