Now go find the Epstein Files and whatever other underhanded BS our elected officials are up to and release that.
- Comment on Do you think conservative feel the same need to burn it all down as everyone else felt when trump won again? 2 days ago:
Democrat here. Didn’t want to burn it all down. Hoped there would be adults in the room to reel trump in like last time. Nope. He’s wrecking everything and I’m not sure it’s possible to put it all back together again even if it’s possible to put dems in charge.
- Comment on Anon asks out a friend 4 days ago:
Yep. I’ve run out of ideas, I’ll try settling with a heavy “maybe”. That’ll really make you feel like a potential partner values you.

Seeing the low-buck AI pic text spam everyone is posting and eating up I’m surprised the bar is even that high.
- Comment on The bullet engravings as per WSJ 6 days ago:
They retracted their story. The rifle recovered was allegedly a .30-06, this casing is a handgun round, more like a 9mm or so.

Right on time. The consequences of your own inaction.

Lol, his social media staff ought to be fired for that one.
- Comment on Missouri voters expanded paid sick leave. The Missouri Legislature undid it, and the repeal just took effect 1 week ago:
I’m tired of soft criticism like “out of touch” when lawmakers do something openly hostile to the will and benefit of constituents. They’re not out of touch, they’re self-serving authoritarians.

- Just been a whipsaw shitshow since.
- Comment on If you argue for a cause like affordable housing for everyone, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also own investment properties? 1 week ago:
Not much of a difference if you’re a landlord. I don’t entirely disagree, but Lemmy hates landlords even if you’re a good one.
- Comment on McDonald’s CEO is grappling with a ‘two-tier economy’ as he slashes prices on value meals—and signals backing for a minimum wage increase 2 weeks ago:
The guy probably donates to the republicans that help him suppress wages and give him massive tax breaks but offers up this nugget of wisdom the rest of us have lived with for decades now?
- Comment on Make America Great! 2 weeks ago:
Apparently when white men ran it, women stayed in their place, gays stayed confirmed bachelors, and minorities stayed under the table.

Are these one time use? Like you gain the ability to talk to oysters forever? Grow a new nose as many times as you want? Or talk to oysters for 5 minutes and one extra nose?
-
Become a water quality assessor with instant and accurate data on pollutants, if there are invasive species, whether or not there are pearls present, and any other information oysters can offer about the environment.
-
Instant paving/gravel business with a huge profit margin compared to competitors.

Depends on the locus of movement. If 7” only, like a quarter step in any direction, kinda useless*. If moving your entire body 7” away from it’s previous location, good for theft I guess if the barrier is less than 7” thick.
*if you can “spam” the 7” movement rapidfire with no speed limit, you can travel as fast as you can wherever you want in a “stuttering” teleport.

Useful to someone disfigured, lost one to skin cancer or other issue.

Depends on what you limit a toaster to and what constitutes control. If you can control any facet of any device that heats the interior for purposes of heating the contents to a specific temperature, then this is really powerful. Engines “toast” fuel. Kilns “toast” everything from carbon fiber to ceramics to tempering glass. The ability to control the specific heating of any material in an enclosed environment would have wide application.

Spam it.

Catching smugglers? If a container that should be empty isn’t, you can’t see in it.

- Comment on Just a little bit more 2 weeks ago:
Ridiculous that we can have people pushing challenges that cause harm, telling you the earth is flat, that trump is god emperor, or that autism is easy to cure. Those garbage posts go crazy. But if you swear some algorithms lower your visibility and certain words get your posts hidden or banned.
That’s fucked up.
- Comment on Jeez, it's like there's no appeasing you tyrants 2 weeks ago:
That’s redundant in this sense.

I find it’s the speeders, tailgaters, and the infuriating few that can’t seem to manage to go at the prevailing speed that cause the waves in traffic. The rest is structural - merges, construction, lane reductions, etc. The aforementioned all cause the slowdowns because they move quickly, traffic tends to follow, and end up constantly hitting their brakes riding the ass of the slower traffic. That starts a wave that ends up with traffic stopping when density is high enough.
You can’t control others moving slower than you want, bitching about lane campers changes nothing, but managing a speed/spacing that allows little or no braking does wonders to keep things moving. If only people would bother to do so.

Unfortunately the “anything” is limited by what the game allows. If “anything” isn’t what you find interesting, then you’re gonna drop the game pretty quick.

Hah. Same complaint I had about Elite:Dangerous. Lightyears wide, one inch deep. Gotta hand it to FDev, though, they really try to keep community goals happening.

Thanks! Yes, I’m not going anywhere. Hope to see the fediverse grow smartly.

Africa (and the various tribes and countries) has been fucked over by various European countries for centuries. Can’t lay this one solely on the English.

I made an alt account for when I actually need to use reddit to ask something in a hobby group that I used to participate in, but I no longer participate in reddit overall, comment or contribute in the groups I formerly patronized. Just noticed that today’s my cake day here - the day I left reddit.
- Comment on mmmm yes undoubtedly 3 weeks ago:
Tbf some of those former territories aren’t in very good socioeconomic shape. If we’d ended up like Canada that would have been winning the lottery, but plenty of those other former colonies have plenty of problems like classist India.

- Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? 3 weeks ago:
Yes, it’s “divide and conquer” on a grand scale. Because we don’t have groups we’re never strong enough to rebel.

I can only suggest reading some of “The Way We Never Were”. It’s a look at society and how it actually was vs the manufactured versions people today use to weaponize the whitewashed past as some sort of ideal. It’s not a psychological book or a deep analysis of society at all, but one of the things that struck me about it that relate to social circles and how it applies to men in particular is the loss of “the village” and the damage “self reliance” - the isolation of the American Family Unit by making it the Family Vs The World - has done to society and the ability of people to form steady social groups outside of work. This, and the need to constantly change jobs to move ahead financially also keeps people on unsteady ground with relationships.
