You got an economic system in your back pocket that doesn’t allow money to funnel upwards? Bring it out! It’s not capitalism you’re complaining about, it’s plutocracy we’re living under.

Adam Smith would be horrified at our monopolies. 1980s conservatives would be horrified! Yeah, the economy has always served the wealthy, but it wasn’t anything like today.

He can’t. The strict command and control structure between POTUS and launch keys will break down, just as it did with 3 or 4 events during the Cold War.

I don’t get YouTube ads. Between my Pihole and Ublock, I see nothing.

Saw an interview with him last night. They were totally unprepared to film that video, amateur hour. He was young and scared shitless, made up the dance on the spot. Guy doing backflips? “Hey guys! Watch what I can do!” In the video he went. There was a guy yelling out his apartment window for them the shut the fuck up down there. Wardrobe? Nope, those were his own clothes.

I watch YouTube on a TV, as the good lawd intended, not on a pocket screen.

Nah, SCOTUS pushed back on Trump, first time around and this time as well. The administration had a solid run of Supreme Court wins for several months because they only brought cases they thought were slam dunks. Now that we’re getting into meaty subjects like birthright citizenship, the justices look to stand firm. Too little, too late, I know.

Woman to woman is not nearly as threatening, this isn’t in the same ballpark emotionally.

EDIT: You folks are so autistic I sometimes want to give up this place. I would if there was somewhere as smart with normal social skills.

You understand there are wildly varying levels of “inappropriate”? Oh FFS, I’ll spell it out.

A man approaching a lesbian like this, “I can fuck you straight!”

A lesbian approaching a cis woman, “Bet you’d like it!”

Do I need to write a dissertation on the difference in literal and emotional threat level?

The whole 1% slogan was fucking stupid. We all know decent people in the 1%. It’s the .001% that are the problem.

Windows just fucking works. Bitch all you want about every other aspect of the OS. It just fucking works. And that’s all 99.995% of users give a shit about.

I install Windows, I expect every driver to work. Far cry from how it was back in the day! Linux? Well, good luck. The most basic shit will work, but you got weird problems to sort out.

And almost all of the Windows problems bitched about on here? I get downvoted every time I say, “Uh, I don’t have those issues.” Probably because I’m running a plain-vanilla ISO? I honestly don’t know.

Lemmy: “Fuck you! You DO have those issues! I read about it in a Linux-loving forum like lemmy!”

Ex-wife was a sort of surgeon at the local Catholic hospital. Never heard of anyone being denied care on religious grounds. Of course they’re not going to do an abortion, but that’s about it.

Never understood why Wandering Jew would be problematic as it’s simply a myth. Anyone tell me what I’m missing?

We got Puma concolor couguar down South though!

Perfect! I’d add mindless slogans as well.

“The cruelty is the point!”

Or any of 100 other endlessly repeated replies.

You got me considering an unshielded, focused/directed microwave beam. And then my dumbass realized I had reinvented the MASER (Microwave Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation).

So, why aren’t defenders using those?
