I think some apps allow it, not sure though. You can also move to an instance defederated from .ml if that instance is more aligned with what you’d like to see. You can also just subscribe to communities and not browse “All.”

I’ve used a 2.5" hdd on a rPi before using a usb-to-sata adapter (powered from rPi’s USB port). I’ve used a 3.5" hdd using an hdd enclosure that’s externally powered.

Humans used to live in socialist-like societies before agriculture. I.e. “primitive communism.” I’d argue socialism is more aligned with basic human nature than capitalism.

Definitely not a lie. Could possibly be a case of “parental incompetence,” as my parents and grandparents were educated in, what I guess, similarly biased schools (or most likely, even more biased). I don’t have a good relationship with my parents, and, perhaps surprisingly, my grandparents are more left-leaning than my parents. I grew up in rural NW Ohio, to be more specific; which used to be a swing state. Most of my peers were racist AF, and most of my past friends are now dead from drug overdoses. I’m, in no means, well traveled, but I’m guessing my life experiences aren’t some rare anomaly.

I remember my 4th grade teacher having us read one page about the Daughters of the Confederacy, the teacher briefly discussing the struggles of former slave-owners, and skipping the rest of the chapter on slavery due to “not having enough time.” IIRC, even the textbook painted the Daughters of the Confederacy in a positive, or at least neutral light.

I remember my 7th grade health teacher showing us a Christian anti-masturbation video for our sex-ed requirement. This was a rural public school in a northern state. Only other option was a private Catholic school, but my family wasn’t Catholic, and my family wouldn’t have been able to afford to send me there if they wanted to.

I don’t think I even knew about the trail of tears until the middle of high school; and definitely didn’t learn about the motivation for hunting Buffalo to extinction.

I’ve heard high velocity rounds (such as rifle rounds) send a kind of shockwave through your body. Dunno if it’s true or not.

Likely transformers now (I think SD3 uses a ViT for text encoding, and ViTs are currently one of the best model architectures for image classification).

Meh, some of my favorite shows and movies have a lot sex scenes. Sometimes, they just add realism or contribute to aesthetics. Other times they show personality, relationship dynamics, are symbolic of other things, or are important to the plot.

I don’t see sex scenes as any different than other potentially “unnecessary” scenes, like a long shot of a dripping faucet, for instance.

But, yeah, most sex scenes in games make me cringe.
