If there were ever a Lemmy get together in real life, one of us will probably bring some beans to it. Beans have staying power around here

🤌🤌🤌

I just say whooosh

I have no idea, their website doesn’t seem to work very well on my phone, I can’t bring up their About Us or Privacy Policy / Terms of Service for some reason either.

This is funny when it applies to stuff like rock salt.

Billions of years in a mountain but the packaging says it’ll go bad in a few months.

Absolutely nuts.

Time to tie the fine to a fraction of percent worth, like how the Europeans do it.

Ooh, a printer friendly version! Let me just go ahead and print that bad boy out!

It’s 2030. The conscription age has been increased to 65, and the 50 year old cohort is now in the lotto for the monthly draft call-ups.

The Strait of Hormuz (called the Strait of Trump) is still contested, as is the Persian Gulf (now called the Persian Gulf of America). Kharg Island is a battered pile of rubble, but thousands of casualties a day, mostly from FPV drone strikes, fail to move the needle.

The backlash in the US is high but since the midterms and 2028 election were cancelled, dissent is starting to take a more [ Removed by Reddit ] approach.

A few centuries pass. It is 2236, and America is still bombing the Middle East. Mecha-Trump still doesn’t have full control over the Strait of Trump, which he blames is just a hoax perpetrated by Biden, and asserts that Total Victory has been achieved, while sending another 200k conscripts into Iran again.

I thought it would be a Fairphone with a Stallman-approved FSF app set.

Considering nothing will be done about it, yeah.

Do people actually defend Stalin still?

Nothing wrong with my instance, just wondering if I’m missing out on anything by not going with the latest and greatest.

Is it worth the effort to switch over from Lemmy?

I haven’t heard much, but I’m also in a similar position as you are here in the US.

The media has the attention span of a guppy, so right now it’s all about Iran.

This is only true for the Americium based smoke detectors. The newer photoelectric cell fire detectors don’t decay like Americium detectors, and as long as you replace the battery it’ll be good for however long it’s internal components (capacitors and whatnot) will last.

Technology Connections has a good video about this subject:

Also just a heads up, your EA and Steam can only be linked once per lifetime.

It’s irreversible if it’s linked incorrectly.

It’s systemic, institutionalized, psychological manipulation. “This is just the way things are” mentality is a plague on our progress as a species, and I fully agree with you.

It’s amazing that they’re able to corner all of academia like this with the Publish or Perish mentality and benefit from all the labor for free.
