  Congress is mostly Republicans.

  Or did you think that the presidency was the only thing that mattered in the US?

  It’s sending a sacrificial pawn so the tyrant doesn’t think of their absence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oopsies⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Forgot to opt in maybe?

  Or, for the more sinister approach, forgot people had to opt in to organ donation and was just taking organs willy-nilly?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨in fashion everything old is new again⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’d look better with a belt.

  So… three monkeys?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess repeating continuing to make analogies in what appears to be a serious tone seems like an odd way to make the argument that the original analogy is broken. You’re not pointing out any flaws, using the current analogy to show how it doesn’t work… just changing the setting while keeping the overall analogy completely the same.

  It’s like going to a brothel and continuing to have sex with prostitutes then saying the brothel is broken… sorry, I had to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  …except this isn’t explicitly a Linux website. Sure, it’s probably run by people who use it extensively and populated mostly by people who use it at least regularly… but it’s in no way a Linux dealership. I came here specifically because it wasn’t trying to sell me something.

  If you’re trying to say that’s not the case, and that the fediverse exists as a mechanism to sell people on linux… it might be time to give up on it, I suppose.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And as we all know, only extremes exist! The middle ground is an illusion!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because the bar you’d normally go to removed all the comfortable chairs and started selling ad space directly in front of your face.

  Well, as that was a restaurant not managed by Disney, but through an independent pub owner in their public market area… I kind of doubt it.

  Linus Torvalds out here describing capitalism.

  Every WoW developer ever.

  Ironically I looked at shit far more when I (finally) got a flying mount in each expansion than I ever did while stuck on the ground.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's been 30 years and I still can't get over the fact that the French word for "potatoes" is "ground apples." Have The French never had an apple?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And that’s terrible…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It’s Time to Stop Taking Sam Altman at His Word⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s been a while since I’ve had supplementary procedures, so that’s good to know.

  Now I just have to wait for all nine (and a half) bills after emergency services.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It’s Time to Stop Taking Sam Altman at His Word⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Considering how fractured medical billing is these days, often the techs contracted by your in-network doctors office are actually out-of-network.

  Isn’t medical billing fun?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Teams will stop working on outdated Windows 11 and Windows 10 versions⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No, I stopped playing Blizzard games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Teams will stop working on outdated Windows 11 and Windows 10 versions⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, but if they’re requiring that you use it, they should be providing the hardware to use it on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starlink kit found amid wreckage of Russian drone⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Corrupt governments like capitalistic shitbags.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the best closing scene in the entire Star Trek Franchise, and why is it Kirk, Spock, and Bones singing "Row, Row, Row Your Boat"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s the episode where Tuvok turns out to be a triple agent for the Maquis, but only because he was brainwashed by a religious extremist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I designed a cardboard cutter that turns boxes into free cat scratchers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My two cats prefer them. Even the new one we got (and need to replace) that keeps falling on top of one of them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨God of War Ragnarök - PC Launch Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I misinterpreted your comment, I read it as $60 for the PSN account, not the game 🤦‍♂️

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can name a dildo company Tupperware with infringing trademark⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Could be considered damaging to the brand, which would probably be legally legitimate.

  Do you need Playstation Plus or just an account?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google has been blocking many tools/IP ranges that try to synchronize with YouTube⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Shows you how much of a dent they’re putting in the bottom line.

  Or how desperate google execs are to get even the tiniest bump in revenue.
