  Comments saying “you don’t” are weak shit. The answer is you rotate each letter one by one.

  It will look like shit because they will be ever so slightly misaligned, but such is the fate of the brave

  there’s a class of “elite” people who can make decisions that negatively affect the literal lives of millions without worry

  This has been true for as long as civilization has been a thing; in fact it’s less of a thing now than it ever has been, the elites have never had so little power.

  Which is to say they still have entirely too much and i also hope he gets away with it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You don't need to answer this⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think it’s funny, more like it feels good to see an atom of justice done for once. One murder changes nothing, it has no value as far as changing the system, but the symbolic value is through the roof.

  Here’s the thing: even if we change the healthcare system tomorrow, they get to keep their billions. We can change the system, but there will be no justice because one of the principles of our legal system is that justice isn’t retroactive. So seeing one of the guilty parties killed is an example of retribution that is very rare and exhilarating.

  Just not funny per se

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I want to live in civilization and i enjoy its benefits, so no, i can’t go around saying someone should be acquitted because the crime was based. We’ve collectively agreed to put the law above our feelings, that’s a good thing, i wish it was done more, so i’m doing my part and preparing to send him cigarettes in prison.

  That’s a lot of places in the world, you could pick random cities and have a decent chance of this being true.

  Venice is another level because of the mass tourism and vacation rentals

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When you die, what do you want to be done with you?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Makes me wonder what the experience would be like for the mind being uploaded. Do you feel like you have a body? Can you change what that body is? And before you do anything fun with that new hot body, you should know that anywhere you can go is still in a simulation, so you can be tracked and observed at all times.

  Speaking of that, can you adapt to the concept of “being somewhere” becoming meaningless?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When you die, what do you want to be done with you?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ideally there would be no body to bury. Think about it, can you think of a boring way to die where your body is never found?

  Of course i’m making sure my death will be adventurous by staying at my computer and never going outside. Totally won’t die of a heart attack like a loser.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  He failed to overthrow the American government and have his VP killed. And the reason he wanted his VP killed was because he wouldn’t help him overthrow the American government.

  It’s undeniable that some very powerful people want US democracy dead, but from that to the actual death of US democracy is a long way

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So i agree thatthe second Trump administration is going to suck in most every way possible, like the first one but worse because they’re prepared this time.

  BUT

  I think people overrate a government’s ability to influence the conditions in a given country. I think a country is made what it is by history, geography, technology, sociology, ideology, economics, and the accumulation of small decisions over centuries.

  If the Trump administration wants to end democracy in the US, or if a hypothetical based administration were to attempt a switch to ranked choice voting, both ideals would be impossible to implement because our ideals are limited by practical reality. Both would fail regardless of being good or bad changes, because radical change is really hard when the conditions aren’t met for it, especially when it’s opposed by the rest of the country. I think a lot of people in the US will resist changes that the Trump administration wants for a number of reasons, and not just ideological reasons, sometimes they just have an economic interest.

  We talk a lot about how powerful people changed the world, but i think far more often they’re just the embodiment of a societal trend, and they couldn’t change the world if they weren’t. Change isn’t done by powerful people but deeper movements in humanity, with powerful people riding them like a wave.

  As to where the deeper movements in humanity are leading us right now, i refuse to guess, trying to predict the future is the best way to look like an idiot

  Human tails are kind of a thing and doctors do remove them. But it’s not a glorious tiger tail or anything, it’s like a stub, it’s an outgrowth of the coccyx, which is literally a vestigial tail.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Lemmy an effective alternative to Reddit?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lemmy is an improvement over Reddit in terms of its business structure. We don’t yet know what the downsides will be of decentralized social media at scale, but we know that it beats a tech company that went from venture capital to publicly traded while already deep in enshittification.

  Lemmy is not an improvement over Reddit in terms of design: it’s designed the exact same way, so it has the same set of advantages and disadvantages.

  The improvement in community is hard to guesstimate, and will change as the site grows. Aside from the company, it was often the users that made Reddit suck, and Lemmy is completely capabe of sucking in the exact same ways.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon recommends a cast iron pan⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah i believe you can break a cast iron, it will snap instead of bend, but i have no idea how hard you’d have to drop it. It also probably would damage the glass

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon recommends a cast iron pan⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know your glass cooktop, but i’d be shocked if the weight of a cast iron was enough to damage it. Does this mean you also wouldn’t put a cooking pot full of water on it? Mine had no problem, didn’t even get scratched which i was worried it might.

  That said i do think cast irons can be too heavy for some people, especially when it’s full

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon recommends a cast iron pan⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  it’s so much better than stainless

  debatable but i think so

  it takes a little maintenance

  everything needs maintenance in the sense that you have to clean it. jokes aside, the only maintenance it needs is to burn oil in it if the seasoning got a little damaged for any reason

  can’t cook anything tomato based

  you can, it’s not great but won’t ruin it

  eight coats of oil you have to burn onto it before you can use it

  that’s not true, all cast iron pans come pre-seasoned from the factory

  you can cook fried eggs and steak

  that is true

  even after seasoning it everything will still stick to the pan

  not really, it’s pretty non-stick

  to clean it you gotta heat it up then dry salt scrub then re-season

  not really, you only need to do that if the seasoning got damaged

  if water ever touches it the entire thing will disintegrate

  that’s not true, you’d have to leave it in water for days to get it to rust

  things that aren’t mentioned: you gotta use it regularly otherwise it gets sticky; you can use metal tools like knives and spatulas directly in the pan that would demolish any teflon; the seasoning is more resilient than people think, you can even wash it with dish soap; the seasoning actually gets stronger when you fry fatty things in it (grilled cheese, steaks, eggs, sausages); it’s very simple, durable, rustic, old technology, and incredibly cheaper than skillets of a similar quality (excluding cheap teflon pans); you can unrust it in your garage and even weld it back together if it breaks, which is sick as hell.
