So Trump starts mining company for Bitcoin as they announced. Then once they have a decent amount they start investing all the gold from Fort Knox into Bitcoin as previously stated by the white House to inflate prices. Then uses the money for illegal bribes with anonymous accounts? Something like that I assume

So are you going to make a bad faith argument that Microsoft, Google, Apple, Sony, Nintendo, Steam or who is a good company to buy platforms or games from? Note, most games brought to Linux happen because much of it was funded from sales off those platforms as well. So in todays world if you want Linux games, you have to hope people keep buying them on those major platforms.

Or are you just going to take the low road of describing yourself as better than everyone else because you only play niche unprofitable games that most people will never hear of and therefor most of society who doesnt have large amounts of time to invest in games likely won’t ever see.

My first thought was it being an incorrect first line and my brain went “and I’m getting stoned.”

"She got a rock,

And I’m gettin’ stoned"

But then had that very programmed feeling of you shouldn’t say that because you aren’t getting stoned and you don’t want people to think of you as getting up and getting stoned on a Saturday morning. Talk about being programmed to fear what other people think.

Anyways Eric Church has a couple songs I liked

Whoever killed that Deathcare CEO had a positive impact, then billionaires spent a lot of time and money to try to turn the narrative. Note there were a lot of conservatives that werent against it until they watched a week and a half of propaganda to find out what they believed again. I think it showed a few people that the healthcare system is flawed, and clearly the justice system is. Was it 300 million, no. Was it 3 million, maybe. Even if 1% learned something from it, I’d say that’s huge for a population this late in the capitalism game

How do you think we got familiar with the registry, local and user app data folders. Malware was early introduction into IT for many users.

Nah, he wanted to modify what was being said. He blocked and oppressed views he didn’t like. It was never free speech. It was always oppression.

Haha, yeah I didn’t check that, was eating. 15 yards. I’m actually still sitting there.

How long ago was that? Last year I took a couple near Phoenix and they did great, lights or no. The hardest part was dropping me off at the front of a hotel, as people were in and out and cars were everywhere. Still didn’t have issues, just slowed down to 3mph when it had 15 years left or so

I do this very often on Lemmy as well because I used to have trouble with the app I use (works great now) but when it first came out accidentally clicking the wrong button would sometimes crash it or knock me back to the page before or my home feed. Then I’d realize I lost 2 paragraphs of text I typed and I’d say well fuck if it’s long enough that you don’t want to find that exact comment again to respond to and type it over, it probably wasn’t worth typing anyways. (Which unfortunately decreases interactions for users on the site, which ultimately hurts how many active users we end up with.).

Now I’m just making excuses for myself being feisty with my keyboard.

I can’t seem to learn this. I’m so used to being able to edit messages post sending them that I just use the send button as a save command. Type something. Ctrl S, go back and edit.

It’s dumb, but I still do it.

Destroys long COVID investigations, creates anti-vaccines department. Who would have thunk

They hurt everyone else involved intentionally do to a sense of self richeousness. It’s a textbook definition of narcicism.

If someone calls the person they are going through a breakup with a self richeous dingbat who likes to tear down everyone around them in a private chat it’s not a nice thing to do. It also didn’t hurt that person until Derek brought it to their attention in an attempt to hurt the speaker while upsetting/hurting the person who was called names. Especially digging up things from years ago. These people aren’t running for office, they are kids dealing with life in a place of privacy. The number of people I’ve heard call soneone a little dicked asshole who isn’t good in bed is around 50. Never once would I think spreading that information to them or their friends group would be for the greater good. The person is hurt and lashing out. It’s often best to let them recover and sort out their own situation. If they were making plans to harm someone that’s another story, but that isn’t what happened here it appears.

Is the person who made the comments a narcissist, yes. Is the person who screen shorted it and shared it also a narcissist, absolutely.

Yes, this if for the applicants for a green card, so he basically wants people to invade their privacy if they want to become a permanent citizen.

When it gets really cold my doors have issues. So a few months back I was leaving for work on a Tuesday morning at 2:30am. (Delivery trucks would arrive at 3:30am Tuesdays that’s why I remember). I get in the old 94 Cherokee and back down the drive. As I head down my street I see 2 cop cars stopped at the corner right before the turn I need to take out of the neighborhood. As I approach I brake and start to swing to the right just a tad to make sure they have room in case they got out of the car, and good thing I did because as I passed them MY door swung open and would have knocked the side view mirror off the cop car had I not. The cop just saw me panickingly lean and reach out with my left hand to snatch the door to pull it shut, my seat belt pops open at that moment and I almost fall out of the car but manage to close the door, fight with the seatbelt and take the turn only to continue driving wondering how far I would get before those cops pulled me over assuming I was drunk and when they find out I’m not give me a ticket for I have no idea what. The bars close here at 3am, so drunk drivers are plenty around that time.

Up shits creek

No fucks given.

Couldn’t give a fuck.

Many of them are likely just annoyed and use it as a coping mechanism. It’s understandable. I find it easy to believe that when a group of people wants to kill and or deport you, your family members, friends, or even your neighbors. That resentment will build and ultimately people will say they want things to get worse faster so it opens eyes faster and we as a community start fixing the problem sooner. For example it’s why I have at times wanted Trump to ignore/piss off the courts more once he already has violated people’s rights since only violating some people’s rights people are coping with just fine. A good example of something that would harm and possibly kill many people before things were fixed is social security. Many people would say we would be fine with it at this point if social security checks just stopped going out. It’s not because we want those people to die. It’s because we want an act like that to happen sooner rather than later. It would directly impact the largest majority who supported this administration. So something so blatantly obvious is harder to get blame shifted, and the people who only say to themselves “am I better off now” would have to admit to themselves they are not. Opening the door to possibilities of a rapid change through grander support. The bill of rights has been ignored, the constitution has been ignored, so many believe the only reason they are “playing” that the government is still in function is to ensure they have replaced all the people they need with sycophants so when the mask does eventually shatter, it is to late for anyone to really do anything. All media outlets controlled, all Government entities (including elections), all large corporations, the food, water, energy… All controlled to make it so we can be tamed and drivin like sheep.

In a dictatorship we are all slaves with no rights, people right now are still believing we have rights because the facade.

Oh I don’t think they should move them, but that was what they claimed was their reasoning on the article. They demanded a list of books were moved to the adult section. Which Sold apparently is about a young girl being kidnapped and sold in India, so I can understand why there might be a parent out there that may think it isn’t for their child, and other clearly would think that’s when they should read it. To me it just means maybe the guardians should be involved in telling their kids why or why not they should check out a book.

The book they mention is “Sold” which has a 9th grade reading level and is intended for people 13+ according to McCormick. So because they didn’t move books like that from the Youth section to the adult section, they are defunding them.

Let’s get this straight, what does that do? If you move their reading level to the adult sections then they will look for books there… Meaning they will come in contact with books intended for even older audiences. I don’t get it.

I assumed this is the same family. If not, measels may be doing it’s thing.
