They will burn down the planet in an effort to replace us by telling themselves climate change won’t matter as long as they kill like 7.5 billion people in the process.

Danger, danger, high voltage

I mean to be fair to all of us it’s not like we have a lot of space for these items to go other than the chair or the hamper because we all live in fuck ass tiny shit apartments. Perhaps if we had more reasonable amount of space, we wouldn’t have to resort to such tactics.

Do you do the daily ritual of moving the clothes from the chair to the bed so you can use the chair?

I’m shocked, shocked.

Well, not that shocked.

'Member when all the liberals were glazing the New York Times simply because Trump called it “the failing New York Times” so they felt the need to get subscriptions to help the newspaper *checks notes… prioritize conservative voices and pave the way for a second Trump presidency.

Because it unequivocally is in decline?

People need to be realistic. We’ve been a poorer nation than we’ve pretended to be for a long, long time.

Like look at modern public buildings, not built to last, not like old stone and brick courthouses from the last century and the like. They’re just made with the same cheap materials as everything else.

The decline started with Nixon, got kicked up a gear by Reagan, but the first real crack in the armor was George W. Bush and his middle east boondoggles in Afghanistan and Iraq. After that the world was willing to look at it as somewhat of an erroneous event and expected cooler heads and serious people to prevail.

Now that instead of serious people prevailing, we’ve been spinning down the drain, and that’s literally the plan. The wholesale dismantling of US democracy was crowed from the rooftops as Project 2025.

The serious people in other countries aren’t going to be fooled again.

To quote George W. Bush “Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, sh–, uhhh, you can’t fool me again.”

Yeah we can’t risk a new installment breaking the magic.

Which, I mean, he’s technically not wrong. Files exist as data on a hard drive that exists in the computer. If you destroy the hard drive in the computer the files cease to exist.

Except Microsoft doesn’t have the respectability to discontinue a clearly broken product now that they’ve baked it into ever installaion of Windows 11 by default

Nice melon.

I literally winced.

I’m surprised he has that much self-control at all.

Thom is too depressed about his access to healthcare at the NHS to hear you.

Buff Femboys aren’t non-existent.

Wild, I have never had that issue on desktop or in Jerboa.

Yeah pretty sure that ship already sailed for Raspberry Pi. I still love em, but they’ve definitely burned a lot of bridges with the hobbyist community for the sake of sales to the business community.

If you forget to select a language when making a post, the language becomes “undetermined.”

The vast majority of people do not take the time to mark the language of their post, and so Lemmy files them under “undetermined” because there is no language information.

When making a post, when you choose the “Undetermined” from the language-selector, it just pops it back to asking you to select a language, because the point of “Undetermined” is that no language metadata has been added.

So in your user settings page, if you remove “Undetermined” from your list of languages, you will not see most posts since most people do not actually choose a language for their post.

I personally do not find this confusing at all.

I think the actual reality is that governments and justice systems were designed for a pen-and-paper era where letters were still delivered by horsedriven stagecoach.

I think that’s the real task: designing a new type of democratic governance that can keep up with the speed of societal change and technological change.

“The gears of justice turn slowly” made sense in the stagecoach era, because life moved slowly. It does not make sense in an era where we can disseminate information worldwide instantly for pennies.
