  Right on time. The consequences of your own inaction.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨banger⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  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 ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's been downhill since 2020⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
  2000. Just been a whipsaw shitshow since.

  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.

  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!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ 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?

  1. 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.

  2. Instant paving/gravel business with a huge profit margin compared to competitors.

  3. 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.

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

  5. 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.

  6. Spam it.

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

  8. Get your name in the history books as an expert on the peoples and culture surrounding the language.

  9. If you were a paraplegic this would be life-changing.

  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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s redundant in this sense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And they even get a seizure when you take their ipads away⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Malware for the brain. Best description of brainrot I’ve heard yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are you not entertained?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh? What am I being sold other than clickbait?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

  Streisand effect.

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨mmmm yes undoubtedly⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First time posters be like⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨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 ⁨From Snoop Dogg to Lap Dogg⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hero to zero, dude.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

  Since when does the update of the frontend equate to a better, more accurate, more efficient backend?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A driving test isn’t necessarily a test of skill, it’s a test of checking boxes that gets thrown out the window for many people as they continue driving. You can be a complete moron while driving but still parallel park and use a turn signal properly for a test. If you want to weed out more bad drivers you need harder testing and greater enforcement, just getting a retest of the same shitty test isn’t gonna work. Source: me. I had an incredibly stubborn aged parent who absolutely should not have had a license for multiple reasons but continued to drive. They were re-tested a couple of times because of incidents and still passed. It took letters from family and a physician to have the RMV suspend their license, and even then they didn’t want to.

  They’re already here. Wearing the red hats minus the cool historic names. And way stupider.

  Go play open-field paintball. Sounds like he’s into the hunt, so up the ante and be hunted too. Do the stalking while being stalked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon tries to meet girls at college⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep. Dorm life you’re stuck meeting people whether you like it or not. I hated our dorms, but I had a lot of fun with the roomies and others I met in the dorms.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Teddybears - Punkrocker⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is who Superman was. A literal (illegal) alien saving humans and, despite his full ability to completely take over the world, trying to be a good human.

  Just reinforces my belief that if Jesus were to arrive today they’d throw him in a cage and then disappear him to a prison on foreign soil with no trial.
