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.
- Comment on Teachers warn AI is impacting students' critical thinking 3 days ago:
Students will take whatever shortcut they can to be done with it as easily as possible.
- Comment on Fucking leeches 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 4 weeks 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. 4 weeks ago:
That whole shit show just reinforced my decades long belief that only assholes wear suits.
- Comment on Let me tell you something, I haven't even begun to peak. 4 weeks ago:
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!! 4 weeks 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 5 weeks 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? 1 month 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 1 month 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. 1 month 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. 1 month 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. 1 month 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? 1 month 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.
- Comment on In US, teleworkers don't want to turn back 2 months ago:
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.

It is so freaking weird that this tool gets reelected. I get that he comes from a stupid state (42nd in education)
- Comment on Best HDD/SSD for local media hosting 4 months ago:
I don’t know if I’m alone on this, but I just bought the biggest, fairly inexpensive 5400rpm hdd that was in my price range when I set up. Might notice the slower speed when doing a big data dump, but for streaming purposes you can run many 4k streams concurrently and the bottleneck would probably be your network speed before you hit a drive read bottleneck.
- Comment on what can I use to cushion my knee when exercising with it on the floor so it doesn't hurt? 4 months ago:
Just search for “kneeling pad” or “gardening knee pad” and you’ll find a bunch of pretty durable options for around $10. Or, hell, just get a pair of skateboarding knee pads. You might not be the pinnacle of fashion, but your knees will be well protected.
- Comment on Is it really possible to tax the rich? 4 months ago:
Yeah, that’s fair. US mindset, I’m just still processing our shitshow.
- Comment on Is it really possible to tax the rich? 4 months ago:
Theoretically, sure. Pragmatically, we just elected a fascist insurrectionist, and it’s not going to happen in the near future.

In
Future Shock
,Alvin Toffler argued that society is undergoing an enormous structural change, a revolution from an industrial society to a “super-industrial society”. This change, he states, overwhelms people. He argues that the accelerated rate of technological and social change leaves people disconnected and suffering from “shattering stress and disorientation”—future shocked. -from WP

- Comment on Can Bash aliases be nested? 5 months ago:
Should work. Just try it out and see if you get what you want. I tried:
alias llaa='pwd && ll'
then ran
llaa
and it did what I expected, current directory and ‘ls -al’ which is aliased.
