Oh, Windows 10? I wouldn’t know…

Not that I understand linux. I’m actually using an older computer. That’s right…Windows 3.1 baybee! Have you guys heard of this program called…MSPaint??? I can draw a cow!

Well hello, Ted.

I’ve decided his name is Ted. He looks and acts like a Ted.

Scritch scritch scritch

Emergancy Mars landing it is!

…what?

I agree with the few things I read on there, but, they seem to be taking the stance of “The system is fair, and a vote will do this if the people vote for us!”

Here’s the problem. A few years ago here in Ohio, it was determined that the maps had to be redrawn because they were already gerrymandered to hell. The people voted on this. It was legally required by vote.

What instead happened, was the republicans who control the state, gave them 5 different maps, mostly identical, and none of which addressed the spirit of what the vote had called for. To this day, an approved map has not been submitted, despite being well past the due date. Many, myself included, believe that until some force MAKES them submit a fair map, they will continue to play games, and waste everybodies time. All in an effort to affect future voting.

What needs to happen instead, is an independant commitee needs to step in. Not the republicans. Not the democrats. But a mix of both. And here’s the kicker. IF they can’t come up with an agreement by the time voting season starts? Then Ohio shouldn’t get to vote. It’s either get your shit together, on a platform you can both agree on, or both of you lose out. That’s it. End of story.

And what happens if all 50 states do this? Welp. Guess we hand the keys to the country back over to England. Hey England. Sorry about that whole 248 year rebellion. We’re rejoining you now!

I want to overthrow everything. Just…just all of it. The corrupt leaders. The corrupt police. The capitolistic system which encourages exploitation. The conditions which lead to poverty. The systemic racism. Just…just delete, start new file.

What should we call this new country? I’m thinking “Whoopsiedaisy” has a nice ring to it.

Unless I’m misreading this whole exchange, I believe what’s being discussed is the modern day Mexican border, and the holding camps in which families are sometimes seperated. They have conditions which actively lead to people dying. Children and small women especially.

They aren’t actively designed as a concentration camp, but in smaller numbers that’s the end result sometimes. The problem in this conversation I see is that terrible inhuman conditions which do lead to death by the thousands each year is being compared to a place like auschwitz, which killed people by the millions each year intentionally by design.

What you’re linking is true, and it was terrible, but it was also close to 80 years ago. The Japanese today have no issue with coming to America.

So this whole thread to me seems like 5 different people, all shouting 5 different arguementive points, none of which corelate with each other in any way.

…so what are we even doing here?

Yet another black man was murdered by police a few years ago, and people did rise up a little, but didn’t have the will or stamina to do the job all the way to the finish.

Just for clairity…what does finishing the job all the way entail? What would that process be? I assume you’re talking about George Floyd? From what I saw there were national protests. A few cities, including his own, got violent at times. I even heard of certain Canadian cities protesting. Which in my mind made little sense, but I appriciate the gesture.

But what more, short of killing every cop, are you suggesting be done?

I really want to make SOME kind of joke here…but I can’t think of a joke that’s about you having a threesome with them, and also tastefully done. Every attempt I’ve thought of for the past 2 minutes has just gotten very crude before I even come to the punchline.

Soooooo…how about this? honks a bicycle horn a few times, and slaps your face with a creampie! Waka waka!

…you better not be from EA.

Plot twist. Disney buys Nintendo.

“What super mario needs is LOOT BOXES!!! Yes, you jump and hit the question box, and now you can pay for a fire flower. If not, you get a coin!”

Soooooo…like, just the average childhood experience in the 80s?

I’m already on AMCs website, trying to preorder my ticket, and emailing customer service about why they haven’t started accepting preorders to a movie that hasn’t even been conceptualized yet.

I’ve always had an alternative take on the “afterlife”. Some people like to think of spirits as this tangible thing, like a ghost, or something that is self aware. I see it more like how someone would say “The spirit of the city comes alive at these events!”. So in that case, the city has a spirit. It’s not a ghost, but that’s more along the lines of how I interpret the spirit. My grandma died in October. Her spirit lives on with me until the day I die. I will continue spreading stories of the things she’s taught to me. In that way, she will continue to inspire people who she’s never even met. So in that way her spirit lives on.

So now that you get the idea of what I mean by spirit, here is what I think happens to us when we die. In the short term, you cease to exist. You don’t experience anything more. You don’t look down upon people from the heavens. You don’t roam the earth observing life. You just…don’t exist anymore. In the long term your spirit lives on. Each persons spirit will continue a different length of time. I’m sure there was probably a guy named Tom who lived in what is now Boston, back in the 1600s. I have no idea about who or what Tom did, because everything he ever did has been forgoten. Toms spirit has died. Others have their spirit live on for much longer. George Washingtons spirit lives on as long as America lives on. There may or may not have been a guy named Jesus. If he did exist, he’s got to hold the record for longest living spirit. I can’t think of anybody elses spirit from 2000+ years ago we still think about today.

The point is, while you’re alive you have the chance to make an impact on as many or as few people as you can. Physically everybody is going to experience death differently. Ironically, people who are executed through lethal injection have the easiest death I can think of. Pain free. The rest of us are going to experience something much more horrible. Some die in their sleep peacefully.

But after you’re gone, your spirit is all that remains. How long it remains depends on who you inspired, and what concepts you gave birth to for societies benefit.

He made it sound like it was a dark joke that he was appologizing for. To my knowledge Andre didn’t get involved in anything dark. So death is the first thing that comes to mind for me. I probably am wrong, because either way I still don’t get why the joke would be funny in either case.

Mostly my phone. I just use the samsung browser and go to the site directly. No app. Right now I’m on my tablet. Same concept, samsung tablet. Samsung browser.

Oddly enough, I can’t use my PC at home. Firefox just will not load Lemmy, and I don’t know why. It loads parts of it…but the bulk of the page is just an endless spinny circle.

Better joke than the original. Not that it was a high bar to clear, but still.

Here’s a good example.
