People don’t understand what’s happening, there are a lot of people willing to stand in front of bulldozers. This is their technique:
“The opposition party is the media,” Steve Bannon, who helped run Trump’s 2016 campaign, told PBS Frontline five years ago. “And the media can only — because they’re dumb and they’re lazy — they can only focus on one thing at a time.”
So the solution, per Bannon? Overwhelm them.
“All we have to do is flood the zone,” he said. “Every day we hit them with three things. They’ll bite on one, and we’ll get all of our stuff done, bang, bang, bang. These guys will never — will never be able to recover. But we’ve got to start with muzzle velocity.”

I hope it’s like in Florida when they tried to do the same thing for golf courses and the public came in and shot it down. We have to get louder, Magas won’t like this either.
- Comment on Thank you for your attention to this matter. 1 day ago:
The public lands thing is breaking my heart. I hope they’re used by Magas and they now can’t use them anymore. The one in Washington State is definitely like that.

He’s supposed to be over-leveraged, but he does have Saudi Arabian buddies that might bail him out for awhile. He might go the My Pillow Guy route though too. Idk if he still has a base after the nazi salute.

Maybe because they want to use it to replace animators? That’s my guess anyway. Granted, just a guess.

Plot twist, the IRS employees fight over who gets to do his paper work because it’s like a mobile-game style puzzle. They hate the normal ones because they’re so monotonous. They compare the dick drawings.

What if she changes her mind? She’s the law maker, so she can do whatever she wants and math has to adjust.
- Comment on Do you care about up/down votes? 2 weeks ago:
For sure, there are a lot of lurkers. The speed in which they upvote obvious trolls is unnatural.
- Comment on Do you care about up/down votes? 2 weeks ago:
One thing I hope everyone takes from reddit, the troll’s main weapon is downvoting in droves. I’ve seen 6 upvotes happen in under a minute on Lemmy and we don’t have that kind of user base. Some posts don’t even get federated that quickly. If the question was in good faith and downvoted, it was probably trolls. I hope you don’t take that personal.

The general ambience is raining.
We also say:
- It is muggy, inside or out
- It is stifling. This could be inside or heat outside
- It is quiet. Also, inside or out.
- Comment on WTF is a rural town in the USA? 3 weeks ago:
Here are some descriptions and photos of what most small towns look like: www.onlyinyourstate.com/…/slow-paced-towns-in-wa
A really small town is like what you’re calling a village. I think most people outside the US think that rural is closer to urban areas than it usually is. It typically starts a half hour outside a major city and then can be 7-10 hours to the next major city depending on what state you’re in. The upper east coast is probably closer to Europe. Rural encompasses a huge swath of the US land, and most are very isolated physically and mentally.
- Comment on Washington Post Tech Guild overwhelmingly votes to certify union in historic election | The NewsGuild - TNG-CWA 3 weeks ago:
In a 171-38 blowout vote, The Washington Post Tech Guild has officially won its union election, marking a significant milestone for over 300 technology workers across engineering, product design, and data roles at The Washington Post. After weeks of aggressive union-busting tactics from Washington Post management, tech workers at The Post persevered and have been recognized by the National Labor Relations Board. This is the first successful organizing effort to take place at The Post under Jeff Bezos’ ownership.

- Comment on Like to play alone? Ubisoft is still watching you! 5 weeks ago:
Being a tech savvy individual, the complainant additionally examined what exact data was being sent to Ubisoft when playing. The complainant discovered that, over a period of just 10 minutes, the game established a connection to external servers 150 times. Among the recipients of the complainant’s data: Google, Amazon and US software company Datadog.

I like that one, it makes sense for a toilet paper company and is funny. The Church’s Chicken ad is unbelievably bad. I can’t find it though. It has a white rapper with the most rhythmically challenged customers appreciating his horrible rap.

If a racist says you’re not white, they’ll kill you over your protests. They may even pretend to think you’re white up until you’re useless to them.

Maybe you can answer this. How can whipping cream have such a long shelf life? It’s like a month. Milk is usually a week or two.
- Comment on Iceland approved the 4-day workweek in 2019: nearly 6 years later, all the predictions made have come true. 5 weeks ago:
The Icelandic experiment began in 2015 with a pilot phase involving around 2,500 employees, or just over 1% of the country’s working population. Following the resounding success of this initiative, with 86% of the employees involved expressing their support, the project was made official in 2019 . Today, almost 90% of Icelandic workers benefit from a reduced working week of 36 hours, compared with 40 hours previously, with no loss of pay. Initial concerns about the four-day week were widespread, both in Iceland and elsewhere in the world. There were fears of a drop in productivity, increased costs for businesses and difficulties in adapting to maintain service levels. However, the Icelandic experience has swept these fears under the carpet.
