On one hand, yes… but on the other, I think that’s part of why they’re so successful. We constantly give Trump and people like Trump the village idiot pass - we don’t take them seriously because we wave off their malice as just stupidity.
If Trump actually behaved competently, he’d have been in prison ages ago.
…it’s the fucking Darth Jar Jar theory, but it’s happening in real time.

Oh he was trained. This shit wasn’t a fluke. We’ve reached “Nazis patrolling our streets, executing civilians on the president’s orders” stage of US collapse. This will continue until people start shooting back.

Clone it. Don’t let some cheesy dinosaur movie tell us what to do.
- Comment on 🎵 It means something something... 🎵 2 weeks ago:
Heart warming story of a royal toddler who noped the fuck out after being caught up in a political murder scheme, met two stoners, became a stoner himself, and kinda just did nothing but be a stoner until his ~20s when he was finally swayed to put the blunt down after his toddler-crush just randomly shows up one day and fucks him.
They just don’t make wholesome movies like that anymore. <3

- Comment on Lemmy users who say that Lemmy users are smarter than Reddit users 5 weeks ago:
Depends on what we mean by smart. Lemmy seems to especially attract the IT crowd, which in itself represents a huge swathe of specialty knowledge… which I can’t claim to be part of, but hey, medic checking in! But with reddit’s variety of topics to include… I mean, pretty much everything, since that website is massive: I don’t think they have any kind of knowledge deficit in a general sense.
Where Lemmy really shines is in stamping out the bigotry, not just in policy but from a direct community response: drop a post with some racism or sexism or w/e and you’ll be swarmed by posts telling you to fuck off and don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out. And I love it! :D
So, smarter? Fuck if I know. Significantly less evil? Fuck yeah!
- Comment on Best vertical games on Android? 5 weeks ago:
The different types of Gameboys and most of their games emulate really well on a smart phone. I prefer playing them in landscape orientation for the larger display, but portrait mode gives a more accurate recreation with the screen on top and buttons on bottom.
I’m out of touch with what the latest best options are for emulators and where to source your ROMs, but if you ask around in communities focusing on things like piracy, they’ll point you in the right direction.
Recommended to use a VPN for any downloads.
- Comment on Feeding my family alone is expensive. I can't afford to feed all of y'all. 1 month ago:
Potluck style is the way to go. In addition to what the other posters have mentioned, you get better food that way too: people cook the dish they have the best recipe for. People who are shit cooks can host or clean or w/e.
Get the best everyone has to offer.
- Comment on It's always about dat math 1 month ago:
I’m not actually sure what the normal etiquette is there. The only time I ever get take out is from a mom-and-pop Thai restaurant that’s one of those hole in the wall places, and I tip the fuck out of them cuz I want to support them.
If you’re talking like a fast food burger joint, then yeah fuck that.
- Comment on It's always about dat math 1 month ago:
Millennial here. I cook most of my own food. Have never and will never use services like door dash, cuz I don’t want to pay extra to give some stranger unmonitored access to my food. I will tip when I eat out, even though I hate it - for fuck’s sake just factor the tip into the price of the food… my whim as a customer shouldn’t determine if someone else’s employee gets a fair wage.
Anywho, I don’t think that’s horribly uncommon for my generation - most of us can’t afford to eat out more than once or twice a month, if that.

Hypothesis: this is actually a safety way to ride due to cars seeing you as much more of a threat and therefore giving you MUCH more room than normal.

The cochlea and semicircular canals are absolutely wild. It’s all just squirting fluid over a patch of tiny grass, and boom, that’s your sense of hearing and balance. One of the coolest bits of anatomy we’ve got.
- Comment on Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever 2 months ago:
Tech-idiot, here, but Linux-curious and running Windows 10 with an ardent refusal to change it to 11.
I know there are a ton of different versions of Linux, ‘Ubuntu’ and such, but I don’t know jack about any of them… which would you recommend that’s best suited to someone who’s only ever used Windows? Looking for the most idiot-proof option. Gaming and office style work are primary use.
Emphasis on the idiot proof. I am really anxious about switching from fear of jacking up my computer, but am so sick of Window’s bullshit… probably as good a time to dive in now than any point going forward.
- Comment on What are you ladies doing tonight 2 months ago:
What did it for me was the bugs. Those little fruit-fly fuckers… they love sugar, and those taps are a concentrated source. Until someone turns it on, and they get blasted off the tube and stuck onto the sticky inside surface of the cap, where they die and continue to get blasted with concentrate, so there’s this membrane of soda residue, dead fruit flies, and mold.
…infact the taste you’re referencing might legit be rotting bugs if it has a kind of rancid protein flavor.
I wonder how many of those fruit flies get blasted straight into people’s drink vs onto the edge of the cap, where they’re just sucked up through a straw and drank by a customer who’s none the wiser.
Nom nom.

- Comment on What are you ladies doing tonight 2 months ago:
Worked at a fast food place ages ago, and I remember cleaning the caps of each fountain of the top image: they were pretty horrific. Another poster mentioned mold… they’re not exaggerating. They were probably the second-nastiest surface in the restaurant, second only to the floor of the bathrooms.
Now, I’m under no illusion that the Cloa-Cola dispenser is actually sanitary, but it’s gotta be better than the other model.

That wasn’t meant to be taken too seriously, lol. I’d guess the odds of enough semen making it through the fistula and then through the normal path to result in a successful conception are… about zero.

- Comment on I always wondered why hotel rooms had bibles 2 months ago:
I see religious shit randomly littering the hospital I work at. People put fliers in waiting areas or on window sills. Couple whole-ass bibles. Lately it’s been the little plastic jesus emoji looking toys.
I put all of them in the trash.
We have a fucking chaplain, if our patients want to see that shit they can talk to him. Hitting people with religious nonsense when they’re at their lowest is predatory and should be illegal.

Um, technically no one died, your Honor.
- Comment on hows keto working out for you 2 months ago:
Fair enough! Keep this in the back of your head though if you ever become critically injured or sick - daily caloric requirement goes up when you’re recovering from something, so yours specifically might be even higher than that already-higher-normal.
There comes a point where eating anything just feels gross cuz you’re already stuffed, so you’d have to start being strategic about meal/snack timing, and prioritizing high calorie foods and drinks. Hopefully your team would have access to your history in that situation, and account for that shit from square one, but YOU are your best advocate, so don’t be afraid to prod them if needed.
…and sorry lol, been doing a fuck ton of nursing school homework the past few weeks, so my brain is still in nurse mode when I hop on Lemmy. You’re basically an NCLEX question! :P
