It’s the stuff like this that makes me have hope for humanity… that people can create absolute silliness for it’s own sake, is pure delight!
- Comment on World Map 1 week ago:
Looks like a whirled map to me!

This is exactly the difference between kids and adults.
You’re reading a lot of posts from kids that wear their hearts on their sleeves and advocate for what they think is the “good” side.
There is a way to block the .ml instance, I did so within the first week I joined.
It winnows out the kids.

…As for today I wonder what their goal is…
There is no goal other than wealth accumulation. It’s a barefaced embrace of the “Gilded Age” corruption and excesses that existed before the bottom fell out in the early 20th century. On a high speed setting.
The underlying vibe is that there is an economic collapse coming (this is why we are in the “Late Stage Capitalism” phase where the middle class is now being eaten alive) and the power brokers and wealthy are grabbing as much as they can before it all falls apart.
Fun times ahead.
America is falling, and this should be an object lesson for the world in what happens when the billionaire classes are allowed to do what they want.
It is okay to set a maximum level of wealth for the ultra wealthy in your country. If not, do everything in your power to limit their policical power.
Protect yourselves.

Being angry at “the west” is easy, as it’s an open book.
Let’s investigate other societies and see how transparent their imperial actions are.
Ehhh, not so easy to do…
Whatever.
- Comment on Has anyone else noticed the strong pro CCP and anti-west vibes here? 1 week ago:
Yup. One of the first things I did.

I though they were running food banks and offering legal aid to poor folks.

Yes.
- Comment on Is there a word for people who will mess something up and blame the victim for it? 3 weeks ago:
Ah, yes… then narcissist is the one.
- Comment on Is there a word for people who will mess something up and blame the victim for it? 3 weeks ago:
I’ve often thought the word “asshole” fits…
- Comment on Cultural impact 4 weeks ago:
I think it fell into a ton of tropes is all. Eh, it was a product of it’s time - as all films are - and I found it similar to Dances With Wolves. Banged up protaginist, left broken by his service goes to the frontier and finds a new life…
There it is…
- Comment on Cultural impact 4 weeks ago:
Oh - and I do think the idea of trees with shared root systems forming a planet-wide distributed consciousness is actually pretty awesome sci-fi.
Spot-on.
- Comment on Cultural impact 4 weeks ago:
Never seemed to be marketed that way.
I like the films - then again, I’m a sucker for big cinema and IMAX 3D, so from an eye-candy perspective, it’s glorious. Is the story anything earth-shaking? Of course not. It’s escapist fluff… but oh… how it looks.
- Comment on Did you realize that there was a time long ...long ....ago when people paid for every thing with cash or a check 4 weeks ago:
NGL, I remember when MasterCharge did it’s big rollout across the US. And when it changed it’s name to MasterCard… Fuck… that was a long time ago…
- Comment on Should street racers who accidentally kill people really go to prison? 4 weeks ago:
No, it was not a mistake. It was a choice to race on a street and not on a track where crashes and collisions aren’t likely to kill anyone but the driver.
Throw the motherfuckin’ book at anyone street racing. Stupid reckless children. Utterly irresponsible.
- Comment on oh no guys theyre gonna report us to the FBI 5 weeks ago:
I hear Kash got called out recently by a senator for being a drunk on the job.
You know, the more I read up on these clowns, I am beginning to wonder if the whole declarations of this group, that group and the others as being terrorists and a threat to national security… actually it’s all theater made up to hide just how incompetent the current crop of Trump asskissers all really are.
Weird timeline we’re in right now, for sure.
- Comment on oh no guys theyre gonna report us to the FBI 5 weeks ago:
“…internent related crimes …”
Yup… usually involving massive IP theft, CSAM, financial fraud or data breaches… AND often driven by industrial/financial/legal entities.
First Amendment speech issues around people venting about a government that right now, seems to have pissed EVERONE off, isn’t likely going to get much traction outside of Kash Patel’s brownnosing FBI circle-jerk.
- Comment on Block your ads 5 weeks ago:
I would get that “adblockers are against the YT TOS” message. If I refreshed the page, it would work every third time or so.
Weird.
- Comment on Block your ads 5 weeks ago:
My one beef with AdNauseam is that for some reason on my system, it acts really wonky on youtube. Otherwise, it’s a gem.
- Comment on We're so back 5 weeks ago:
Oh holy cats…! Thanks for that link, that guy is most deligtfully awkward and funny… I had a blast watching the video. Really like that channel.
- Comment on Block your ads 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, uBO for android phones and 1blocker for iOS devices… and only use browsers - not apps - to access shit online.
Tha ad’s bullshit.
- Comment on You are supposed to cut the hair not the clothes 1 month ago:
Nope. Ever lose a shoulder strap on a bra?
That’s not something the wearer would miss…
- Comment on Literally exactly how it works, too. 1 month ago:
Ha! That’s what you think!
I’ll have you know, I sawed the legs off that periodic table.
It’s chaos I tell ya, all chaos!
- Comment on We're so back 1 month ago:
That said, if you sweep up a dusty storage building with mouse droppings you can aerosolize it.
Yup. Best to use a sting mop and wipe the mouse poop up. Mostly because it’s gross and who wants to breathe poop?
Thankfully, Hantavirus is mostly found in deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) which as a species prefer to be outside.
If it jumps to the house mouse,(Mus musculus) we’re fucked.
- Comment on 2/10 people on Lemmy, is that you? 1 month ago:
That’s like 5 out of 10 on reddit… so yeah.
Thing is out here, there is less polarization and if you’ve got the links and the facts that are verifiable, people can and do go “Ah! I did not know that… thanks!” and mean it.
Which I love.

Go make a new friend.
They may just be looking for someone to hang out with, and if they’re looking for romance, you can become the matchmaker.
I have a feeling that they’re probably too insecure to know where to start.
NGL, it’s great that they’re mustering up the courage to ask for help.
It can’t be easy in the current climate.
- Comment on they are literally hanging our tax dollars right over our heads 2 months ago:
It should say, “play in traffic and run with scissors”
- Comment on Good luck figuring it out since it also doesn’t come with man pages 2 months ago:
I didn’t ascribe a he/him/her/she/them/they to an icon.
It was just that… it… …and it is fine.
The rest just strikes me as so much marketing.
- Comment on Good luck figuring it out since it also doesn’t come with man pages 2 months ago:
Kit looks more she/her than the OG icon.
Hmm… …the silliness continues.
- Comment on Sometimes folks need help getting started with FLOSS 2 months ago:
I think so? (Am still running Mojave because I have 32-bit programs I use almost daily.)
