The CEO is the one that got sacrificed to the gods with the hope that the system changes…
Moving the goalposts much? No one in support of Luigi would dream of considering that CEO mass murderer as “one of their people” as you put it. And since you know that, you absolutely did not mean that mass murdering shithead.

That’s really fucked up take on this. First, Luigi is innocent until proven guilty. Accordingly, he’s very much alive and not “sacrificed”. Also, you seem to mistake a wave of support (I am afraid our filter bubble suggests there is more support than there is in the average DS citizen) for celebrations. Also, by trying to ridicule the movement, you do propaganda for the establishment. So please get lost, troll.

The other two have corrected you on the lifespan of red dwarfs.
*They corrected me on which star the meme was about.
Either way, thanks for the mention of a theory of a second, “dark” big bang - that was an interesting web research just now.

see above - missed that it wasn’t supposed to be our sun.
- Comment on Think twice before gifting someone an M dwarf this holiday season 4 weeks ago:
that’s not the sun
Yeah I missed that reference, as it is an artist’s impression it didn’t occur to me this could be any other star since the last format of this meme that I saw was still using something on the planet Earth as subject of the joke.

Unfortunately, in the
USADSA, spending money usually means handing it over to the ultra wealth hoardersLet’s not kid ourselves and call them “united” anymore. Anyways, this is lemmy.world, not lemmy.dsa, so while I am pretty sure that even in the DSA, spending money helps the economy, I was talking global.
- Comment on I'm pretty sure all of us have given up on any boomer giving us anything anyway 4 weeks ago:
I don’t think you understand what “spending money” means. It’s a good thing because one of the bigger problems in today’s world is wealth-hoarding - accumulated wealth grows and when it’s spent, it actually helps the economy, by people earning money from the services / manufactured products bought.
- Comment on I'm pretty sure all of us have given up on any boomer giving us anything anyway 4 weeks ago:
Indeed, OP is a stupid take. For all the shit boomers pulled off with this planet, spending their own money is a good thing.

Arguably, accepting the necessity of occasional violent protest is more reasonable than giving up pacifism.
- Comment on Looking for answers 5 weeks ago:
You got flak - rightfully - because you critiziced the claims adjustment while having no sympathy for the victims of legalized mass murder by denial of claims. So don’t play the victim here.
- Comment on It's true 1 month ago:
Then blame the monsters who ignore human rights for sake of profit, and their enablers. Not the person who saved lives by giving the billionaires a reality check. Yes, it was an unlawful killing. But if the law protects mass murder by denial of life saving care, then how should people change something?
- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 1 month ago:
The laws are designed to allow murdering the poor. That doesn’t make it “not murder”. When you deny live-saving treatment out of profit considerations, that is both premeditated and killing out of greed. There’s two murder criteria right there.
If the laws are designed for the elite, it is very stupid to argue morality based on what’s “lawful” and what is illegal.
- Comment on I have to be knowledgeable about a particular superstition in order to sign in to access a government form 1 month ago:
By saying wobble, I was referring to:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_precession
For identical reasons, the apparent position of the Sun relative to the backdrop of the stars at some seasonally fixed time slowly regresses a full 360° through all twelve traditional constellations of the zodiac, at the rate of about 50.3 seconds of arc per year, or 1 degree every 71.6 years.
Re leap years: On second thought you might be correct about that one.
- Comment on I have to be knowledgeable about a particular superstition in order to sign in to access a government form 1 month ago:
While the wording is stupid, and “astrological” indeed refers to the superstitious bullshit, the zodiacs are not a believer/non-believer thing, but based on an astronomical(!) constellation being at a particular position in the sky in the period of said zodiac. That said, however, and without checking, I am sure that this does not align with the dates assigned to the zodiacs at all anymore because the Earth wobbles on it’s orbit & also because the zodiac cycles could never possibly align precisely with a year on Earth, simply because the dates are fixed and don’t account for leap years (the ~0.25 day extra each year).
Why did I make this point? Because it appears that in Europe at least, everyone knows their zodiac - I would be surprised if it’s any different in countries that use the same calendar.

It’s a guess by me, but honestly I think it’s quite accurate - then again I just checked some statistics and those absolutely does not confirm my guess - however most unfortunately mix PCs and laptops (which are not the same in terms of how you learn with them, imo) and oftentimes even tablets (which are completely useless to learn anything about computers). The actual numbers as per the first statistic I found say that households with PCs are down from ca. 65% in the early 2000s to ca 43% in the 2022.
Thinking about it, that might actually be true, but I don’t think that anywhere close to 40% of children get exposure to computers & spend way too much time on mobile devices.

- Comment on Anon is a nostalgic gamer 1 month ago:
kids are missing out on a lot simply because the number of PCs in private households has shrunk by ca. 90% - consoles just don’t give the same gaming experience / definitely not the sense of immersion.

is “easy anti-cheat” a brand name? Or was that just your wording?
- Comment on Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages 2 months ago:
You’re essentially allowing different game companies to install a rootkit on your computer so you can play a video game.
Put like that, makes it even more obvious how insanely stupid some gamers are, doesn’t it?

Only if those other partitions are not encrypted. Sure, it could still wipe them - but that’s something that backups are good for, and something you would certainly notice immediately :)

Well - I thought I’d mention that it could look like that - but of course it really depends on the personality / financial situation of your friends whether that might have influenced them
