I buy almost exactly the same stuff every week except when the odd condiment/coffee runs out. I went from $60-75/week to $90-100, and now more recently $110+ all within roughly 18 months…
So now I cut back everything… I eat baked/grilled chicken with beans and canned vegetables for lunch and have salads for dinner, only eating twice a day… All that just to get back to $70/week.
I’m curious if similar experiments have been tried with other animals? Can we tell if model-based reinforcement learning is common to all mammals, or did it evolve independently in different lineages?
Instead of all this garbage about ‘dad energy’ and whatever else PR nonsense is being pushed, why not focus on what he stands for or has tried to achieve in his career?
There’s no hope for politics in America when both sides engage in this petty personality cultism.
There’s a ton of policy coverage re: Tim Walz. This article isn’t about that, it’s about a really common reality young people in the US face, where they have parents who have been brainwashed by right-wing media and who can’t spend an afternoon with you without bringing up politics. I’m from a pretty conservative area and know this dynamic all too well. I think Tim Walz’s personality is to be celebrated, and I don’t see at all how this is “cultism” compared to what we see with MAGA
Attachment figures that project wholesome vibes and safety and good times (silliness) are what every mammal wants unless they have somehow repressed that fundamental instinct. Maybe get in touch with your feelings and you’d understand.
Like feeding kids and stopping the rampant war on drugs that has destroyed a bunch of lives and families over a little plant called marijuana? He’s my governor and once dems secured a majority in our state they’ve been improving tons of stuff.
I’ve learned more about Tim Walz stands for in the last couple of weeks than I ever had before that, including when he was just in the running as VP. And every time I learn something knew about what he stands for, I get more impressed.
Personality and “vibe” are certainly factors, ESPECIALLY in motivating people (especially younger people) to vote. If young people actually voted, the GOP as it stands today would lose every time.
Aging is sad, especially when it happens to those you love. But I think we can all admit that old guys get real weird as they approach their mortal expiration. I’ve unfortunately seen the mood swings and complete lack of couth as the mind degrades in the final years.
Admit? People get weird when they age? Any studies to back this up at all? I live in Sweden where a large portion of the population is quite old. You have those who need care, and you have those who are just fine (like anyone in any age group). I’m surprised to see this kind of agesim BS on Lemmy tbh. Are we really stupid enough to judge the competence of a person based on how many times we rotated the sun? Please. There is plenty to hate about Trump. The passing of time is not one of them.
P.S: I think your attitude sucks and I hope that when/if you hit 80, you have people around you that don’t have this attitude so they don’t bin you into early grave my metaphorically killing you before you are dead.
Who pissed in your Cheerios, brother? I said that its sad to see the mental decline and personality changes of loved ones in their final years. I get that aging affects everyone differently. I hope those around me in my final years, don’t see a shell that differs from the person I presented the world, throughout my healthy life. I hope the same for you and the ones you love as well.
Ps. I am extremely sad to see left leaning progressives go all bananas about sexism and racism but just embracing ageism as if that is somehow acceptbale.
Saying that age is an indicator of cognitive decline is not ageist. Saying things like “this person is TOO OLD and TOO FARTY to be president” is. This is what my problem here is with.
Saying a President cannot be above 80 is like saying women should not be firefighters (or some other similar sexist nonsense). Neither people can control their age or gender, but they sure as fuck can prove themselves as competent in a certain field and this is what we should be judging.
We’re not in the fucking bronze age. No need to draw lines in sand and say “80 BAAAAD”. PLEASE. Let’s just be a tadfuck more sophisticated than that. Millions of years of evolution, we can be a fair fucking society can’t we?
This guy was a gleefully inhuman monster who hurt people for fun decades before he was even President.
Just as with Ronald Reagan, some people just do so much harm to others unrepentantly for fun and profit, that I can very much revel in their pain/decline/confusion and sleep like a baby.
I don’t subscribe to the pure model of “treat others as you would have them treat you.” Humans abuse that and it makes you a mark.
My version is “In a vacuum, be kind, but once someone shows you who they are, treat others how they treat others.”
Also, when someone shows you who they truly are, believe them the first time. I’ve become a person for whom respect is not earned, it is only ever lost. Everyone I know and meet, I try to respect the same as I would any other person… but, once you’ve lost that respect, I find it truly hard to give the benefit of the doubt and restore that faith.
We had a horse named Doc that I’m pretty sure plotted how he was going to kill me every time we went to work. More than once I had to do a tuck and roll when he suddenly decided to go over and try to crush me.
He was smart, but not smart enough to realize where that ended.
doesn’t help your “i’m the public safety candidate” message when you can’t even secure your own property. after being NYPD ffs. “gun laws just lead to only criminals having guns.” thanks, twat, for providing criminals with a gun. and a fucking cop badge
I think I have a mix of dyslexia and some kind of hallucinations, because I read that as can’t get to the restroom soon, and I just exploded and laughter.
They’re going to try to go thr Georgia route and just make election certification entirely discretionary. That this will effectively end democracy bothered exactly zero Republican voters.
You know they’re going to fuck this up, the red counties are going to obviously contest the results before they’ve even started counting them and it’s going to make them look really stupid
If they make election certification discretionary then if doesn’t matter how they look. They can legally just not certify for any made up reason. It’s how they’ll avoid the charges that the chuds in AZ are currently facing.
The TDCJ denies that there have been any deaths caused by heat since 2012, insisting that fatalities during the summer months can be explained by inmates’ underlying medical conditions.
Right, just like Covid never killed anyone either.
Seabaugh, a Republican, was elected to the Georgia House in a special election in the summer of 2021, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. His district includes parts of western Cobb County and portions of Marietta and Kennesaw.

I just don’t believe the story. Nobody in the world would be stunned if Trump treated them like crap, because he’s done it to so many people that supported him over the years.
Oh but surely those people had said something to get such an aggressive response or they weren’t actual supporters in the first place, some were probably leftist moles, not me though, I support him, he will fix the US! /s
Once in a while, I see a short video clip of “Why I’m not voting for Trump this time”. They give some good reasons - narcissism, brash rudeness, looking out for himself, etc. Of course, I salute people for having their moment of introspection. But what annoys me is, none of their reasons were less true in 2016 - and few of them ever really say they themselves changed in the intervening span.
Goalpost one is to stop supporting the guy. I’m glad for people that hit that. Goalpost two is to realize a reasonable person never should’ve supported him. Perhaps that’s a lot for some people.
If he won’t stand up against the genocide his party supports and calls the national freaking guard on BLM protestors, a move so fashist it impressed even Trump:
“I was very happy with the last couple of days, Tim,” Trump continued. “You called up big numbers and the big numbers knocked them out so fast it was like bowling pins.”
Cool. Show us how the far-right in America really likes Tim Walz then (one single positive comment about an event that happened years ago is not enough to show that they like someone, sorry). Especially considering they were all pissed off Harris didn’t pick Shapiro.
I’m saying don’t cheerlead people like Harris or Walz. Don’t portray them as cuddly dads or stalwart progressives when they aren’t. Be critical of them and demand better.
Yet everyone here is trying to turn this into some lib-lovefest for Harris/Walz, dutifully portraying them in the best way possible, shouting down any criticisms, desperately trying to uphold the Burgfriedenspolitik. Almost everyone here has bought into the “it’s the evil usurpers vs the forces of light” narrative when the truth is they’re both differently colored masks for the same genocidal settler empire.
Yes. Everyone. I’m totally doing that right now. Look at me just lovingly lovely love on Tim Walz who I have said nothing about beyond him being one of two viable VP choices and suggesting that the American far-right doesn’t actually like him.
Which is basically the equivalent of sucking someone’s cock, am I right?
And I guess that whole stopping responding to me comment was a lie.
You are though, you really are adamant about upholding Burgfriedenspolitik within the dem base, I just don’t think I will be able to explain to you what I mean by that within this context.
You haven’t DM’d me so… is this your request for the last post?
As for your adherence to Burgfriedenspolitik, it’s demonstrated by your very first reply to me, dimissing my point because of the instance where I have a second account.
Understanding the point of view of a Hexbear user and thinking the way it’s presented is ridiculously aggressive and full of people who come across as they have no joy in their life and live to be angry is a good way to present that point of view are two different things.
This is not about your point of view no matter how much you try to make it about that.
It doesn’t matter what justification you use to keep burying your head in the sand, you’re still blinding yourself in a desperate attempt to safeguard some hope about the upcoming election no matter how false it may be.
No, you keep trying to deflect from his shitty record to me having a second account on hexbear. I just keep trying to have you take an actual look at the guy and not just blindly cheerlead whoever the dems put in front of you.
I am not a moderator in this community. Believe it or not, I am not able to shut you up or shut you down. You can post a response criticizing Walz in reply to every person on this thread and there would be nothing I could do about it.
Gotta love how people on Lemmy claim you’re trying to silence them.
If you’re worried about people deflecting from your claims, maybe your claims aren’t very good and you should find some claims that people can’t deflect.
Since you seem to have forgotten your own post, I’ll help you out:
No, you keep trying to deflect from his shitty record to me having a second account on hexbear. I just keep trying to have you take an actual look at the guy and not just blindly cheerlead whoever the dems put in front of you.
I can’t deflect from anything you write. However, you are the one who has decided you don’t need to talk about Walz anymore and just bicker with me instead. I didn’t force you to do that. I can’t even force you to reply.
He waited to verify that there was a rioter and looter problem before calling them in. Explicitly so he wasn't calling them in on mere protesters, but looters who deserve it.
you don’t understand, those people definitely deserved it. they were the bad protestors, not the good protestors. the foot-soldiers of the state only attack people who deserve it. this is basic freedomology.
If you actually listen to his recounting of the situation… Yeah, actually. I would say that the way he handled that was absolutely the way a (good) dad would.
Including the bit afterwards where they tell you they were wrong for the initial overreaction, but they did it out of fear for your safety.
But after actually listening to why you’re mad, you talk it out and guess what? He recognizes that your anger is valid and opened a dialogue to help fix those problems.
If that’s not “great dad” energy, then I dunno what is.
But let’s not let actual facts get in the way of you pretending to be a progressive on the internet to make leftists look bad.
Got any links because the search engines are cluttered with articles fact checking trump who keeps wanting to take credit for calling in the national guard.
edit:
If you actually listen to his recounting of the situation
How can I if I only get downvoted with no replies? I’m not even arguing here just asking what it is that I haven’t seen.
Ok, but the poster above is saying that Walz admitted to being in the wrong and that his was an overreaction. I would like to know the context of this.
