And in the case of AI models it’s straight up deranged to act like China is “stealing” from the US because US corporations trained those models on stolen data to begin with

Highly recommend it. Only took like 5 minutes to set up, just install it, enable the systemd service (or equivalent, I’ve only run it on arch, but I assume there’s at least an openrc service as well), and then set which engines you want it to pull from in the config (and optionally configure search proxies)

- Comment on I could quit AI anytime I want to 4 days ago:
I use a self-hosted combo of Hister (search engine with local index, you can get a browser extension to add pages you visit to the index so it basically searches your own browser history, it also bas a web crawler for building up your local index) and SearXNG (meta-search engine, it basically searches multiple normal search engines in the background, and you can route those searches through tor or a rotating list of proxies for increased privacy)

No it’s not, annexed is the common term for when a town expands its borders. That’s just what the word means.

Why do white immigrants often call themselves expats? I’ve never heard anyone who wasn’t a well-off immigrant white guy self-describe that way.
- Comment on *landbastard intensifies at the right of replacing a 2 dollar light switch". 2 weeks ago:
Individual landlords would not be a priority for me, I would start by prohibiting LLCs from owning residential property, convert existing apartment complexes into residential co-ops/condos, and force existing corporate landlords to sell their properties to individual buyers at a cost determined by the state.
For individual landlords, I’d just prohibit them from acquiring new properties they don’t live in themselves, and make it illegal to transfer ownership of a rental property to anyone else unless they intend to live in it (eg via inheritance, sale, etc.).

Are you 80? I absolutely plan on living past the end of (at least most) landlordism.

Nah that’s stupid. Why do you presume to know that there will “always” be a need for landlords? People thought there would always be kings until democracy developed, people thought there would always nobility until capitalism emerged and rendered the land-based social relationships that defined feudal nobility meaningless. You lack imagination.

There are no “bad tenants”, because that would imply inconveniencing landlords and costing them money is morally wrong. It’s not, it’s funny as hell😭

You can find it at Home Depot for sure, tho a Walmart with an outdoor gardening section may have it too
- Comment on How could I order a package without my parents finding it? 10 months ago:
You can order shroom spores online in most US states, they are not considered controlled substance since they contain no psilocybin. Get yourself plastic bag of sealed instant rice at the grocery store and get some micropore tape at the pharmacy. Then, inject the spores into the instant rice package (the spores should come in a syringe, shake it up well before injecting), seal the injection hole with micropore tape (it keeps out bacteria while allowing the growing mushroom mycelium to get the oxygen it needs to live). It might take a week or two to start seeing mycelium growth in the instant rice bag, but as soon as you do, shake the bag vigorously to help distribute the mycelium around the bag (this helps it establish itself faster and outcompete any bacterial/fungal contaminants that may be present). Then wait another week or so (until the contents of the bag are firm to the touch and your view through the clear plastic part of the bag is entirely filled with white mushroom mycelium).
Next, buy some coco coir from a store that sells gardening supplies (it’s ground up coconut husk, apparently the mushrooms love it, and I’ve had success with it). Boil it in way more water than you think you’ll need (mine nearly overflowed💀), and let it dry/cool down then pour that shit into a plastic tub. Get your fully colonized instant rice bag, open it up, and inspect it for contamination (anything blueish, greenish, or generally different in texture or color from the firm, white mycelium of the shrooms). If anything looks weird, cut it out from the block of mycelium. Then, break the mycelium into small chunks and bury the chunks in the tub of coco coir. You’re gonna want to get the ratio of coco coir to mycelium/rice in the tub no greater than 2 or 3 to 1 (if the mycelium has to travel too far between nutritious clumps of rice it won’t colonize the whole tub and contaminants will fill the empty space). Once you’ve got that done, you can pretty much just wait. As long as it’s in the 70s F and moderately humid in the tub, it’ll grow mushrooms within a week or two. You can shine a light on them during the daytime once the mycelium has colonized the whole tub to make it fruit slightly faster if you want.

Just checked, it looks like you can buy Costco frames online, I got my glasses in the physical store and they were super cheap (like ~$60 for the lenses and ~$40 for the frames), it came out a bit over $100, I highly recommend.
