Why are you reading this? Go do something worthwhile.
One of the things I see a lot on Lemmy is people saying it reminds them of the old internet, and it does for me too, but alongside that comes a hefty dose of communism or anarchism, depending on the echo chamber.
Lemmy is a bit communist overall, but not the Marx and Trotsky kind. It’s very authoritarian friendly. I am not sure why, but it is a little annoying.
The Holodomor is real, and it wasn’t an accident.
Hey, hey, they fight term limits too.
That bartender’s name? Anheuser-Busch InBev.
If this system is what I think it is, it’s the wastewater monitoring, which was a tool that helped with monitoring Covid. Remember, if we don’t test, the rates drop.
They are expensive up front. I have one of the first 11th generation Intel ones. I bought a new CPU fan last year instead of getting a new laptop. One of my kids dropped it, and I’ll need a new screen for it here soon.
Instead of buying 3 laptops, I bought 1 and repaired it. Super worth it.
People who are kind, considerate, and compassionate towards others do get persecuted.
People who don’t tip at Cracker Barrel on a Sunday after church probably should be persecuted.
All of that is true, but he took off his shoes while keeping the suit jacket on. We need to find the deeper, hidden meaning in this.
Aha, but the great old USA love to think it’s a meritocracy, and since tipping is something that was originally merit based, it’s a very American expression. You work a little harder, you get a little extra.
But also, in a uniquely American way, capitalism turned tipping a moral dilemma.
Well, it might not be gay. If he’s the honey in the middle is there leeway?
I love asking people what their first irresponsible purchase would be if they won the lottery.
Everyone has the day dream of paying off medical debt, your parent’s mortgage, new car, fun vacation. But that’s all responsible. I want to know what the unhinged thing you probably shouldn’t do is. My favorite answer was Baja Blast on tap bedside.
How long did Jeffries wait to endorse Mamdani as the NYC mayoral candidate?
Maybe it stings that Mamdani’s successes so far have come despite support from Democrat leadership. Just shows what taking your job as a public servant seriously can do.
With glabal warming and fossil fuels being what they are, this also doesn’t need to be a metaphor. Could be pretty literal.
Republicans spend a decade gaining supermajorities in state legislatures and packing the judiciary with republican judges.
Democrats spent a decade celebrating Hillary Clinton’s imminent election.
Democrats drive the truck. Republicans man the water canon.
I think he can tell the difference between the thing spewing shit and the thing being splattered by it.
His supporters can’t though.
Just so everyone here knows, these pictures do not need to be mutually exclusive. You can do both.
I get excited every time I hear a helicopter, but I work right next to a hospital, so it’s immediately tainted by the knowledge that someone in that helicopter is probably experiencing the worst day ot their life.
When I used to work with kids, if they wanted to know how long it would be until something, and they wouldn’t take “I don’t know” as an answer, I always said 15 minutes. Short enough that they’d stop asking, but long enough that they would go off, do something else, and forget about it.
2 weeks folks.
Itsy bitsy rainbow in the sky.
It’s Halo.
Is this not just God keeping his promise not to Flood the earth again? Who’s the heretic now?
Yes and no. Correlation is not causation. Movies cost so much that consumers have to be picky. As a cost/benefit are you more likely to get your money’s worth from the Odyssey or Moana 2? If Moana 2 had more practical effects would it be a better movie?
A theater trip for a family of 4 can be ~$100. It is for my family where we live. That’s 1/3 the cost of a 55 inch TV, or a 65 inch TV at Black Friday, plus a big box of microwave popcorn.
If you want people to see the poorly written, phone-it-in, low effort remakes these studios are intent on putting out, you have to price it accordingly, or everyone walking out of the theater says the same thing: “Wow. That wasn’t worth it.”
People are still very willing to see well crafted, thought out, intentional pieces from direrectors or studios they trust to do a good job. It’s worth it.
