- Comment on Mitch McConnel's Wikipedia page has been heavily edited the last few days, with the last ones being 4 hours ago. So around 1PM EST. What could that mean? 1 day ago:
Seems pretty evident from the changelog you linked.
- Comment on Is anyone else apprehensive to down voting even if you're being down voted? 5 days ago:
Retaliatory downvoting is a lame thing to get caught up in. A certain type of reddit person will downvote every reply you make to them. Most often I think I’ll be ‘the bigger person’ and ignore their pettiness.
- Comment on What's a word for "I actively endorse it for others even though I dislike it”? 2 weeks ago:
“I disapprove of the design of GNOME, but I will defend to the death your right to use it”
there’s not necessarily a term for this.
- Comment on Do you think that Trump is being blackmailed? 2 weeks ago:
I think it’s tacit. He knows who could blackmail him.
- Comment on Do you think that Trump is being blackmailed? 2 weeks ago:
Not many people with first hand knowledge and nobody prominent has revealed incontrovertible facts though. Anyone with half a brain who isn’t obsessed with his pumpkin-painted dumb face knows he is guilty, of course, considering he said he was “best friends” with JE during JE’s most unrestrained period. But still millions of people think there’s no evidence, and the admin is still suppressing over 3 million documents and redacted the rest to hell.
- Comment on Trump supporter in Arizona supports mass deportation that would impact her family 3 weeks ago:
I think this is several years old
- Comment on is it spelled "grey" or "gray"? 3 weeks ago:
we should just not have Lemmy at all and only read news articles, wikipedia and talk to ourselves

It used to be opera. These days though, pretty much every browser is based on chrome, chromium or Firefox. To support modern websites as you specified is very complex, especially when taking into account security and performance. I don’t know of any lesser known browser engines if you expect to render common websites and support video, sound, animations and so on.
- Comment on Do some rich people date "poor" people? 1 month ago:
It happened to me one time, but she and her family were not really typical wealthy people. She was making 80 K a year, and her mother has something like 35 million, but her mother thought it was a huge victory to find eggs on clearance for $.80 instead of $1.50. So they didn’t really see themselves as rich, except for things like knowing if someone messed with them, they could sue them into oblivion.
My girlfriend was set to inherit 10 million and had plenty of money. I got tired of her acting like she was totally stressed out about $400 when that sort of money was never going to make any difference to her, especially since her career trajectory was likely to result in her making about 200 K within the next few years. I was making about 30,000 as an artist after coming back from a health problem where I was making zero, and I was less stressed about money than she was. So, we could’ve had a relationship where I enjoyed some sort of unusual luxuries that I could never afford myself, but they were so frugal that we didn’t. And being frugal had absolutely nothing to do with how they got their money. I think it was just a hold over from before her mom struck it lucky, from back when they were poor. But anyway, to her credit, my girlfriend never acted like they were better than me or like I was poor or as if I was with her because she was wealthy.

Very nice radishes. I used to see these called “beauty heart” but lately, more often watermelon radishes. I’m used to seeing ones that are light green on the outside.

Does this person have a Nokia phone?
- Comment on What do you call this style of art? It is common in online articles 2 months ago:
The one with the two people is similar to Corporate Memphis, aka Alegria Art. It’s a style frequently abused by companies like Google.
- Comment on What happens if someone refuses to work in a socialist economy? 2 months ago:
That isn’t how socialism works. Socialism means that the workers control the means of production. It typically also means that necessary services such as healthcare are not run for corporate profit. Such government also typically give assistance to people who need it, rather than acting as if human life is worthless if it isn’t making capitalist profits for the owner class. In your case, if you were refusing to get education, employment, and contribute to society for whatever reason, that could be seen as some sort of psychological issue and most likely you would receive counseling. If you’re unable to work due to that, you may have assisted housing and a small stipend. But do you get like, a car? Luxury food? Vacations? No, because there is not a situation under socialism where “everything is free”. The bare necessities of life are supplied by the government, because that is, for one, smarter and more efficient than the American system where we do things like let preventable health conditions fester for years while people suffer and become untreatable rather than just giving them preventative care in the first place, which would save the entire society tons of money and increase overall productivity.
- Comment on What happens if someone refuses to work in a socialist economy? 2 months ago:
It sounds to me like a troll sort of thing, like how conservatives in the US frequently say that liberals and leftists “just want everything for free“.
- Comment on What happens if someone refuses to work in a socialist economy? 2 months ago:
Is this a real question? What socialist economy do you live in where “everything is free“?
- Comment on Do you ever get the feeling of zooming out of your phone into your head and actually realizing everything, instead of just mindlessly watching videos? 2 months ago:
Like, being self aware? Yes, that happens to me sometimes.
- Comment on Your opinion is important 2 months ago:
So, back in real life. At a protest? Yes, it’s valuable for white people to speak up, since they’re more difficult for police to persecute. Sorry you’re too uninformed and naice to realize this, so wise OP.
- Comment on Your opinion is important 2 months ago:
Pretty easy decision to block based on annoyingness level, thanks
- Comment on Happy "don't believe anything you see and hear" day! Also known as "day of morons" 3 months ago:
Basically, if you can tell it’s obviously in April fools prank, it’s cheesy and sort of lame… And if not, it’s misleading.
- Comment on Happy "don't believe anything you see and hear" day! Also known as "day of morons" 3 months ago:
I don’t find it amusing at all
- Comment on When you hear “run like a girl” or “throw like a girl,” what do you imagine? 3 months ago:
I imagine the person that said it being a complete dumbass
- Comment on What differentiates Lemmy, Kbin, Mbin, and PieFed? 3 months ago:
They all do basically the same thing and can be connected through ActivityPub. However, they all have a totally different code base as they are separate projects, other than that Mbin is a fork of Kbin. As far as how it is being an admin or mod on any, I can’t speak from experience.
- Comment on How do you "process" hundreds of tabs you haven't gotten a change to go through? 5 months ago:
As you open them. I consider it an abysmal practice to collect hundreds of open tabs in the first place.
- Comment on Is Winnie the Pooh considered "racist" now or are .ml folks using it as an excuse to defend Xi Jin Ping? 5 months ago:
Anything opposing the government of China is an anathema to them, since apparently they love capitalist oligarchies.
- Comment on It would be cool if after you died you could see the top 5 times you almost died 6 months ago:
Thanks. I’m a pretty dedicated alcoholic at this point, but I don’t screw around with otehr substances.
- Comment on It would be cool if after you died you could see the top 5 times you almost died 6 months ago:
those things happened over 25 years ago, so not really
- Comment on It would be cool if after you died you could see the top 5 times you almost died 6 months ago:
the topic was “wow, I’ve been really lucky”. It’s okay, here were are and he’s 85 with Alzheimers and I’m almost 50. So we made it. Overall, though, if I had a complaint about him, it’s that he wasn’t very aware or engaged in my life from day to day.
- Comment on It would be cool if after you died you could see the top 5 times you almost died 6 months ago:
I’ve had a few good ones. I recounted them to my dad one time, I recall. Experimenting with prescription drugs as a kid (muscle relaxants when I was like 8), driving in the rain with no license when I was 15, excess opiates that one time, too many sedatives with alcohol a couple of times, and then the legit health problems… I had seizures from low blood glucose a time or two. Pretty exciting record imo
