- Comment on A bit of salt makes it taste more savory 6 days ago:
I enjoy Lemmy for the most part, but this popular narrative that you continue to correctly point out gets so tiring on here. The self-ownership, or self-sabotage by these self-righteous, elementary level critical thinking skills having, non-voters is sickening. If I didn’t vote, I wouldn’t take it as some moral victory against a fucked up system, I’d just accept my apathy.
- Comment on 4chan hacked and taken offline. Hacker reopens /qa/ and leaks all admins emails. 1 week ago:
Sort of like US Democracy.
- Comment on YouTube considers a daily timer for users looking to cut back on Shorts 1 week ago:
I’ve been using this:
github.com/Vulpelo/hide-youtube-shorts
since YT started the “shorts” bullshit. Highly recommended if you are civilized person who is not OK with vertical videos.
- Comment on History never repeats itself but it rhymes 1 week ago:
I feel like so much of the disagreement about racism in the US in social media, is a difference between society at large and individuals. Most people aren’t racist (over the top so. However, I alsothink everyone probably has some sliver, however slim, of racism in them). If you travel around this globe of ours, some countries do suck more than others, but people are, for the most part, pretty friendly and welcoming.
That said, I think it’s insincere to believe that the historical trauma of the history of the US has not had lasting generational/racial negative effects.
If I think someone is saying I’m racist because I’m white, I dig in my heals a bit and think, if not say, what the fuck? If I think they are talking about systemic inequality in general, the history, the current data, etc., then I’ve been getting better and better at not having that blood pressure rise in defense and starting from a point that we probably agree on a lot, and just may have differences in how to address the problem.
- Comment on Orange flavored recession is superior to the DeMoNCRaTs!!!1!1!! 2 weeks ago:
What are magats saying these days? I seem to have filtered most of that from my life. All I’ve seen is a couple posts about the hypocrisy of them, but that’s not surprising.

Not Vim? WTF?
- Comment on If you're still on Reddit... 3 weeks ago:
That is the one that’s killing me too. I just received an email that my subscription date is coming up. I want to cancel, at least my soul really wants me to cancel. But my broken body, limited $$, and limited mobility makes me feel like it would be cutting of my nose. It is really difficult to get to, never mind around, local stores.

Students will take whatever shortcut they can to be done with it as easily as possible.
- Comment on Fucking leeches 1 month ago:
…what different paths have been taken? Certainly not enacting a tax code that would make multiple unit ownership progressively unfeasible. That’s just a start. Of course, that would take the electorate to actually be educated and informed in their voting and stop reelecting these geriatric ghouls on both sides of the aisle. To be fair (to be faaaiiiirr) I share a lot of your nihilism.
- Comment on Fucking leeches 1 month ago:
Your sarcastic inability to see a different path does not mean a different path doesn’t exist.
- Comment on The Brazilian town that welcomed a Chinese car plant — only for a ‘slavery’ scandal to hit 1 month ago:
It’s fucked up, but it’s just the status quo of China China-ing.
- Comment on Make america full of shit. For sustenance. 1 month ago:
That whole shit show just reinforced my decades long belief that only assholes wear suits.

Same age, but shit’s just gotten worse every year for a good decade or so for me.
- Comment on The borders are just WIDE OPEN though!!11!! 1 month ago:
Maybe WaPo used to be left leaning. I don’t think their actions and editorials over the past 6 months support that statement to be true at all. There are fewer and fewer trusted news sources, as they become mouthpieces for billionaire shitheads, if not the fascist leaning current regime. It’s a shame. Also, for what it’s worth, the article is blocked for me too, and I have pretty strong blockers running. I could just get an archive link, but to be honest I can’t be fucked to do so.
- Comment on Poll: More Americans View DOGE Favorably than Unfavorably 1 month ago:
More proof that Americans are morons, or just more of breitbart breitbarting? Never mind, probably both.
- Comment on I'm just like some ordinary dude upset about what the government is doing. Doesn't anyone with any sort of means or influence care? Where are those guys? 2 months ago:
Yes I have. I’ve worked to get progressives elected. I’ve walked precincts to encourage people to vote. I did that shit for decades. And shit just got worse. What I see, over and over, is fuckers bitching about 2 choices who never even bothered to vote in the primaries, you know, when you usually actually have a choice. Complaints about 2 party system, first past the post, etc. are absolutely legitimate, but it comes down to the fact that these people are elected. So yes, I am blaming the voters. A little less than 50% of the stupid fuckers still think shit-for-brains trump is doing a great job.

Also, those same fucking voters keep electing the same decrepit representatives, so why should they (the reps) be expected to rock their money boat?

Paintball cosplay.
- Comment on I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand 2 months ago:
You aren’t wrong, and I’m not sure why the other person is arguing with you. Seems like that Monty Python sketch about arguing.

righteous?
- Comment on YSK: There's a protest today at noon at your state capitol. 2 months ago:
The Women’s March on January 21, 2017 was one of the biggest protests in US History. It did jack all. The US gov’t has been taken over by anti-Consititutional, anti-American, anti-law Republicans at all 3 branches. Going to a protest has about the same impact as typing outrage on Lemmy. It’s not pessimism, it’s reality. Until masses are seriously prepared to get violent, we are fucked. Personally I’m just getting the fuck out and watch it implode into Gilead.
- Comment on YSK: There's a protest today at noon at your state capitol. 2 months ago:
I just plugged in my state capital into my driving app. It says it will take 6 hours and 51 minutes one-way. Yeah, I can’t even afford the gas for that. So I checked public transportation and it said 12 hours one-way and one of the three tickets I’d have to buy was $100. Your tldr is spot on.
- Comment on I'll take a liberal. Just 86 the tofu. 2 months ago:
I just can’t engage because for some reason in righty’s mind, liberal == progressive. Like, for them also, fascism == communist. It’s just a complete failure to agree on basic, high school level definitions.
- Comment on When would it make sense for someone to get a domain name? 2 months ago:
I got one for my son when he was a couple years old. This was almost 30 years ago. He hasn’t done much with it, I don’t know if he ever will, but it’s pretty handy for like hosting the family’s email, throwing up shit to share with family/friends, etc… I could do without it, but it’s really cheap to maintain and I like controlling my own data.

Again, I’m sorry for your lack of imagination and child-like need to lash out. Therapy might help you.
- Comment on In US, teleworkers don't want to turn back 2 months ago:
I’m very sorry for your loss of imagination.
- Comment on In US, teleworkers don't want to turn back 2 months ago:
Interesting that the rest of the developed world is fine with it. At least based on that title.

PAUL MCCARTNEY: I’ll never forget the first time I heard the Brown Note. I’d been wearing my favorite trousers that day. At least they were my favorite trousers.
RINGO STARR: At first I assumed I was hearing one of John and Yoko’s weird sound experiments. After a few seconds I knew it was bigger than that. I mean the sound moved me — moved me bowels that is.
PAUL MCCARTNEY: A sound that makes you crap yourself? That’s the power of music, man. As soon as I heard it I realized: The Beatles gotta break up. Well, there were other reasons, but that was definitely a reason.
From, and continued here, for those interested in statements from other musicians on The Brown Note.

Seems like almost every policy I’ve seen treats the symptoms and not the disease.
