No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why are people speculating that the most recent Trump assassination attempt was fake?
21·1 month agonah, you just have an abysmal reading comprehension and can’t understand the original comment
What people are posting and linking isn’t “unproven”. They’re factual events that took place and their opinion on the matter which you seem to have a problem with both.
I’ll go really slow for you… the facts… that people are speculating with… have been shown with sources. Some opinions… are that it looks suspicious… and wouldn’t be surprised… if the administration performed a false flag.
Have a good one man, not worth continuing to communicate with someone that plenty of others have given up on.

21·1 month agoThis reads like a spoiled child or an adult looking for immediate validation online. Not all of us want/need to be terminally on Lemmy like you’ve chosen for yourself, others have hobbies, responsibilities, and interests outside of the fediverse. Even having near 1k comments myself makes me cringe thinking about all the time I could’ve been doing something else. Everyone doesn’t need to hear every thought vomited out in a comment, nor would this space miss one less person who adds nothing to the conversation but hostility like your mod report shows with so many bans.

22·1 month agoAgain, your actions show a disingenuous attitude by selectively quoting a partial sentence,
“You keep asking for sources… when A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world provided links yet you’re still feigning ignorance of context asking for more sources.” (the actual full sentence)
Throw in some MAGA rhetoric comment painting anyone involved not in your favor as republican, asking if I believe it’s a “proven fact” the assassination was faked as some kinda gotcha when I’ve already stated “I’m neither side”.
Here’s the timeline as I saw it: 8:48am, asking for “shot’s fired” source. after, “is it possible that it’s AI?”. 9:48am, you get randomidiots source links. 1:13pm, “I can’t seem to find the source for this.” (was already given by randomidiot) 1:21pm, your longest rant about “objective truth”.
Either you’re not checking sources and demanding for more, completely dense and misreading/illiterate, or some type of combination with the blatant twisting and lack of an actual response besides “Thanks” when someone has proven a fact or event took place with sources.
You’ve also completely moved the goalpost from your original question that is your title, “Why are people speculating that the most recent Trump assassination attempt was fake?” Now, you need “strong evidence” for something people were just originally pondering on for any discussion to be valid. All while selecting the two weakest links as examples, quietly dismissing all the other points that were made. In case you’re still wondering why people are “speculating”, here’s some vids to digest since it seems you’re not interested in reading articles linked to you.

Congrats though, you seem to be on the same playbook with the White House administration.
it’s very important to us that we get the truth and the facts about this case and any case out there as quickly as possible to dispel some of that crazy nonsense that you do see uh running rampant online. Um, and I think the Department of Justice and the FBI thus far have done a good job of disseminating the truth and the facts about this uh alleged attempted assassin. - Karoline Leavitt

22·1 month agoDon’t use a Lemmy feature to add context to my comment? I specifically tagged and addressed you directly instead of getting into your myriad of arguments across multiple posts.

95·1 month agoIt’s reading less like you’re curious and more like you’re looking for an opportunity to “soap-box”. You keep asking for sources when @A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world provided links yet you’re still feigning ignorance of context asking for more sources.
I’m neither side atm, letting the dust settle and seeing if anything comes of it. What’s particularly weird is accounts like yours or others like @TrickDacy@lemmy.world and @SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca who are hitting up every single post with their outrage about anyone considering conspiracy. It’s just literally internet gossip about a failed assassination while pointing out all the events in these posts, yet you guys are twisting it as some moral perversion and are hellbent on trying to discredit anyone with an opinion on the matter.
looks like an artistic logo to me, says everything it needs to.

Dull Men's Club@lemmy.world•And the women folk said I’d never be able to hang this curtain rod!
2·1 month agoI played with those as a kid for far too many years without knowing what they were actually for lol.

Dull Men's Club@lemmy.world•And the women folk said I’d never be able to hang this curtain rod!
51·1 month agoSo couple of points of confusion I’m seeing in this picture and comments below,
-
a wall stud (2x4) is 1-1/2 inch wide, most builders use the cheaper sheetrock which is 3/8inch. A post-it is about 3 inches meaning those first marks/holes are at about 2 inches which is just barely past the window stud (1-7/8inch). Looks like you successfully found the next stud though. Fyi, those drywall fasteners that expand are more than enough to hold a curtain/rod and would probably fit into those previous holes if you want to move everything.
-
A curtain being aesthetically pleasing is it’s 2nd job. Historically, it’s primary reason for existence is temperature regulation. A curtain should tuck against the wall on the sides and reach all the way to the floor to stop cold air from escaping. You can have the best of both worlds with a cheaper “to the wall” rod underneath your decorative setup (like 3$).
-
You should be technically measuring, then purchasing the curtain for it’s intended length dependent on the style you want (from floor to ceiling is considered more “grand”). It’s not mandatory though as you can adjust the rod height and also the curtain length with simple hemming like with “iron-on stitching”.

Gaming@beehaw.org•Steam is basically a PC gaming monopoly, so why isn’t anyone mad?
131·1 month agoI dislike that a lot of the games are tied to needing to have the steam client open, also the steam client is a non-controllable aspect on my computer that I own. I can modify (with extensions and browsers) any experience I have online…except steam. I also don’t like “leasing” games as that’s all they do.
Last note is just I dislike putting any faith into a company to “do good” or to remain with their status quo. Companies are not “good”, they are a service provider and shouldn’t be anthropomorphized as such for being “good guys” or a company that "Cares"tm. The very fact that people are defending it by being sticklers of true definitions of a “monopoly” but hand-wave away the affects it has on the industry makes me concerned it will only become a bigger problem later on.

Technology@lemmy.world•Google to penalize “back button hijacking” starting June 2026English
31·1 month agooh shit I thought that was just a brave/tablet problem on Lemmy. It’s definitely mildly infuriating to have been moved down half the feed when hitting back, thought the browser was recognizing I was halfway down a comment section or something so it was registering the movement when I went back or something. On PC I just do new tabs (habit) like you said so I never notice it.
My issue is the categorization which in turn paints a picture on a lot of OSes. Call it a Pop OS challenge, or debian challenge, etc. In people’s minds there is windows, ios, and everything else is “linux”. Just leaves a bad taste. Just like in your comment you’re broadly painting “linux” issues as if windows or such doesn’t also run into problems at times (especially with windows updates lately).

Technology@lemmy.world•Anna's Archive Loses $322 Million Spotify Piracy Case Without a Fight;In addition to the penalty, a permanent injunction required domain registrars and other parties to suspend the site's domain namesEnglish
131·1 month agoI’m confused by your comment and several people have upvoted it so I guess I need to ask what you’re talking about. I started quoting but it’s just reposting your comment basically. Do you think Anna is the perp they’re suing? Are you saying it’s public because it’s a website and not a torrent or such? (there are like…tons of websites for streaming and downloading pirated stuff…)
How is this a massive problem for all of us? How is this different from any other website posting pirated stuff and getting taken down/legal action against them over the past like… 2 decades? Rereading the article didn’t make anything clearer, I’m genuinely just confused on what you’re saying.

12·1 month agoliterally in the article
At the same time, however, it is not guaranteed that the site’s domain names will be suspended.
As reported previously, several domain names, including the Greenland-based .gl version, are linked to registries and registrars outside the jurisdiction of the U.S. court. As such, they previously did not comply to the preliminary injunction, and it is unknown whether the latest order changes that.

Technology@lemmy.world•On filing the corners off my MacBooksEnglish
5·1 month agoI wish more people did this, I sometimes have to convince people it’s ok to remove stickers from the manufacturers. I recently painted my dryer and it’s controls, the washers getting a treatment next. You can just pick up some nail polish and go to town on appliances if you want to start small.

1·2 months agoDidn’t have the same feeling, but I started with Hail Mary and when trying to go back to read The Martian it was rather painful. Haven’t read his other works yet so guess I’ll see how it pans out.

Technology@lemmy.world•Linux lays down the law on AI-generated code, says yes to Copilot, no to AI slop, and humans take the fall for mistakes — after months of fierce debate, Torvalds and maintainers come to an agreementEnglish
51·2 months agoAnother great example of how AI is just wreaking havoc on people’s brains.
- Wants to show an enticing product to execs, doesn’t want to invest in paying an artist
- realizes they have to have connections but doesn’t want to network
- wants recognition of their hard work, hasn’t sought out a community or collaboration but states “show me the money”
AI will fix everything for me! Slop doesn’t exist! (ignores the very article we’re in, any platform algorithm feed, the us president shit posting, all the slop that gets presented here). Go get em Nik, don’t let haters stop your brilliance.

Technology@lemmy.world•Delivery robots keep crashing into bus sheltersEnglish
11·2 months agook I would never use one and think it’s a horrible addition to the world (unless economic stability was achieved for the average citizen and a form of UBI was implemented with all social safety nets securely codified into laws), but…
if something delivering my food showed up covered in broken glass and was all banged up I would have to wonder what apocalyptic-style pixar movie did this little one have to go through to humbly get my food to me. I would take it in and clean it up before I set it on it’s way again out into the wild.
I will say I found plenty of pics of him seeming to enjoy himself when looking for the past ones I saw. The best one is probably this one

ironically it’s from a video about how they’re returning home though lol











I use walmart for a select few items that are recurring monthly because I can’t get them at any other store locally. I don’t do shipping anymore because often when something is delivered it’s an individual driving for some reason (had a like 3$ item the store was out of stock with, next day some poor soul had to drive it all the way out to my place to deliver a piece of plastic)
The App for Walmart is the biggest piece of shit I’ve ever ran into! It just keeps getting worse month after month, pages of sponsored items when searching (which reloads sponsored content again when loading more results), video after video completely fucking the app up with lag. You can’t filter by unit price anymore, constant pop ups for Walmart+, trash sidescroll recommendations literally every few results, and even selecting “in-store” gets bullshit results and recommendations that have to be shipped.
