In 2016 I heard people say they like Trump bc he says what he means.
For someone who says what they mean, there sure is a lot of explaining intent coming from the right.
Every 4 years we get the summer Olympics, and yet the hurdles competition there still ain't in the level of MAGAts trying to walk back the latest Trump comment.
and yet when pressed, "the Biden administration's liberal agenda" is worse than anything - ANYTHING - Trump ever did.
fucking shill.
Oh, I'm not certain she doesn't understand. Performative art. She got used to performing in a way her main audience (mango mussolini et al) enjoyed in the no jury case, with state level Judge Engoran - that she thinks she can use the same tricks that make him smile on a federal judge.
To me this is hubris, not ignorance. To be clear there is a fair bit of both, but thus is show work not trial work.
Her inability to properly file evidence is her ignorance. Sass is for show imo.
If you feel, in an interview, that you're being negatively judged. Leave. You are interviewing them just as much as they, you. Sure there is a slightly different power dynamic at play but the point of contempt and feeling like they're doing you a favor shouldn't exist.
obsessively fixated on retribution and vengeance for contrived injustices of the past.
The above is what he is accusing current Republicans of - this has been the party's Modus Operandi for decades.
Is the problem bc now you're in the out group?
The party with so much foresight they can't see past their nose.
YouTube slowing itself down to unusable made me write a local extension that takes any YouTube watch link and opens it in yewtu.be my life has been better since. Fuck you tube's stance. You're gonna make the experience terrible I'll watch your content via another client.
You think north Koreans have rights? The ability to move implies independence. You think people living in one of the poorest dictatorships in the world have independence and rights?
Contribute to the state or die - that us all north Koreans have.
Fleeing, not moving, fleeing is a crime. You're abandoning the mother country and your relatives still living there will pay for your crimes. That's the government's stance on "moving"
Rif user here. When then 429s started I clicked on the RIF announcements part of the app which had a link to lemmy.world - and here I am.

They want to strip social security to pay for more tax cuts for the top 1%
You have to work more so rich people pay less taxes than you.
So when proven wrong, rather than defend your point - you change the argument to both sides are the same? You have to see how disingenuous that makes you look. It's arguing in bad faith it's why people laugh at you and don't take you seriously.
It's entirely possible the tick you found was still looking for a good place to dine. Obviously keep track of your scalp and where you found this one so you're sure there are not others and you aren't actually bit or anything. But 2 days after contact is kinda when they hunker down and start sucking so there's a good chance you found it before the problems could happen.
I'm the asshole who liked the og show and host Killborn. I didn't watch it initially when Stewart took over. It was a different show... Man what an idiot I was.... While I liked the og version Stewart made it so much better. Glad to see him back in some form.
arithmancy - which is pseudomaths in a sense....
Bc when entire infra teams rely on your service to operate, and orgs depend on infra, you can charge for that service bc orgs have to pay it, or degrade to cheaper, less robust alternatives - which do exist
Best in class cost $$$
I agree with the glorifying of these people needing to stop. As a counterpoint to most other idiots, however, this individual seems to be taking accountability - which should be viewed as more positive than the rest of the traitors. And by that I mean he states he now sees he is in the wrong, which is above and beyond most statements these traitors make.
need to put the wedding band on the hand to cast no doubt.... ahh goatse... a different time
Al Faranken's Supply Side Jesus comes to mind
God of War 2018 - such a great story and you don't need to know the previous games.
God of War - Ragnarock - it's rare a sequel to a banger is good. Even more rare when the sequel to a banger is an even bigger banger. 2018's story was good, ragnarock is so damn moving.
Red Dead Redemption 2 - never played the first one but bc 2 is chronologically before it, no matter. This game is so immersive and deep.
Horizon Zero Dawn - this one is probably hit or miss. You either lovr the lore or couldn't be fucked. For me it was a great story. Gameplay may not stand the test of time however.
Ghost of Tsushima - this game is so fucking pretty.
Hollow knight - the lore. Omg the lore and the art style and omfg the music. Hidden gem.
I can't think of more but there are a ton 🙂
Santa Cruz shredder. I have had mine over a decade, it's a beast.
Yup. If you're lucky you can get pre taxed commuter benefits but that's not much. My monthly bus pass is more than my credits and that doesn't included parking or subways
Fuck Ted Faro.
Edit to add: for me the lore of HZD was like 1 generational leap from plausible. Like it's science fiction for sure but 1 leap in tech and it's science plausible. That said... Fuck Ted Faro
i think Nestle is one of the most evil corporations currently on the planet - not quite large euro bank evil but close. Being out of work for more than 6 months - still applied to multiple positions bc one can afford to stand on a soapbox only when one has the money to afford the soapbox.
OK this is gonna be a long one. And it's not even mine. The original point of what I'm about to post was about losing loved ones to death, but in my lowest parts of dealing with my divorce I found these words very helpful. One of the few good things to come out of reddit. Credit to reddit user GSnow. Here goes.
Alright, here goes. I'm old. What that means is that I've survived (so far) and a lot of people I've known and loved did not. I've lost friends, best friends, acquaintances, co-workers, grandparents, mom, relatives, teachers, mentors, students, neighbors, and a host of other folks. I have no children, and I can't imagine the pain it must be to lose a child. But here's my two cents.
I wish I could say you get used to people dying. I never did. I don't want to. It tears a hole through me whenever somebody I love dies, no matter the circumstances. But I don't want it to "not matter". I don't want it to be something that just passes. My scars are a testament to the love and the relationship that I had for and with that person. And if the scar is deep, so was the love. So be it. Scars are a testament to life. Scars are a testament that I can love deeply and live deeply and be cut, or even gouged, and that I can heal and continue to live and continue to love. And the scar tissue is stronger than the original flesh ever was. Scars are a testament to life. Scars are only ugly to people who can't see.
As for grief, you'll find it comes in waves. When the ship is first wrecked, you're drowning, with wreckage all around you. Everything floating around you reminds you of the beauty and the magnificence of the ship that was, and is no more. And all you can do is float. You find some piece of the wreckage and you hang on for a while. Maybe it's some physical thing. Maybe it's a happy memory or a photograph. Maybe it's a person who is also floating. For a while, all you can do is float. Stay alive.
In the beginning, the waves are 100 feet tall and crash over you without mercy. They come 10 seconds apart and don't even give you time to catch your breath. All you can do is hang on and float. After a while, maybe weeks, maybe months, you'll find the waves are still 100 feet tall, but they come further apart. When they come, they still crash all over you and wipe you out. But in between, you can breathe, you can function. You never know what's going to trigger the grief. It might be a song, a picture, a street intersection, the smell of a cup of coffee. It can be just about anything...and the wave comes crashing. But in between waves, there is life.
Somewhere down the line, and it's different for everybody, you find that the waves are only 80 feet tall. Or 50 feet tall. And while they still come, they come further apart. You can see them coming. An anniversary, a birthday, or Christmas, or landing at O'Hare. You can see it coming, for the most part, and prepare yourself. And when it washes over you, you know that somehow you will, again, come out the other side. Soaking wet, sputtering, still hanging on to some tiny piece of the wreckage, but you'll come out.
Take it from an old guy. The waves never stop coming, and somehow you don't really want them to. But you learn that you'll survive them. And other waves will come. And you'll survive them too. If you're lucky, you'll have lots of scars from lots of loves. And lots of shipwrecks.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I am familiar with how shitty that feels, sorry. Hope you get to do something you enjoy today
I am currently playing hogwarts legacy on the ps5. Since I don't get much playing time during the week it's taking a long time but I am enjoying my hufflepuff character.
I, and I alone, will be doing nothing bc friends are something I don't seem to have
bc its not easy or cheap or feasible to a lot of people:

edit 2 : if i recall a vid i watched long ago - the closest "western" country that won't send them back is either Cambodia or Laos - which means they have to travel the entirety of China - a country that loves to send them back - to get to that country. not easy as china is huge.
this is awesome - thanks.
I like chill beats so I'll listen to any of the following:
The Polish Ambassador
Wax Tailor
Koop
Thievery Corporation
Nightmares on Wax
And so on. It's mostly all chill down tempo beats
You tried..... Sorry just felt you needed at least one sane reply
Qtip with 91% or 99% ISO around the inner lip to remove all caked on jank. Soak the mesh in ISO and scrubby with a soft toothbrush. Brand spanking new. Just hit with hot water after ISO to see if still sticky (repeat ISO baths) & remove any residue then let dry. Brand spany new
its an incredibly powerful tool. I've seen its usage bloom from simple box health to actually determining cost per month of services. basically going from a "hows our server looking?" to a "we need this tool to achieve our margins"
