I don’t mind that communism has starved people because it hasn’t starved me yet.

A lot of people would need to find new jobs or transform them. I was wondering if anyone would see past the personal computing implications. I didn’t say anything to see how people would think naturally. With only a month to adjust, that would require a lot of fast movement. There has to be a buck to be made somewhere in that.

File distribution would have to move back to CDs or, more likely, SD cards with current software sizes. Games could still be sold. But the big question is what will happen with 90% of businesses that make use of the internet?

Also because it’s obvious and saying it only fans more flames for WWIII. We’re having a hard enough time preventing it with Israel actively trying to derail any attempts at peace. It took long enough to get Trump even pushing in that direction. It will take a miracle for him to not get distracted. The last thing we need is to make this an open contest between world powers and double down on this mess.

But Zelenski doesn’t care. He’ll fan whatever flames if it help him with his conflict. This is the problem with having all these proxy countries associated with you. They don’t always have your exact same strategic priorities or alignment with your goals. Our goal should be to get the US out of war. And both of these countries (Ukraine and Israel) want us in.

Well clearly people could use it to find security holes in their backend, since those def exist.

They would have to be baggy jeans. There is very little value in a deep pocket that doesn’t have space to move things in and out of that pocket. Women’s jeans, with exceptions, tend to hug.

Israel. And they don’t want the war to stop. So the second there is peace they will tear it up. If the US wants peace, and we should, we need to decouple our negotiation from Israel. But we can’t do that while we fund their military because Iran would be reasonable to think that if we stop fighting per our deals that we are then using Israel as a proxy to get around the deal.

It is a very dangerous thing that we’ve given these people money. Now we can’t negotiate deals independently. We can’t be decoupled from their actions since we’ve funded those actions. So the US can’t have peace as long as we fund people who are dead set on maintaining conflict. We can’t cancel funding to Israel fast enough.

Trump needs to learn what a frenimy is. When you have a friend that fucks up everything you do, they aren’t your friend. It is safer to turn your back on an enemy than a false friend.

All presidents are evil. Bill Clinton embargoed Iraq to shift the news cycle off of his blowjob, and it killed a million children who had dependence on imported medical supplies.

Trump isn’t special. Just one more cunt.

I see. I guess home instance might be a phrase we should spread to avoid these kinds of confusions.

That’s the point. Everyone on Lemmy is basically Drax from Guardians of the Galaxy.

How would someone get banned from their own instance? Do you really own it if you can get banned from it?

The fact that the US started another war on a Sunday is proof that it’s not really a Christian nation.

OP. Go see a doctor.

Why can’t people see my relationship with my AI girlfriend as cute? I think it’s cute.

I was about to say, the economics of this post don’t really add up. And sadly, we have a living example behind your computer screen.

That doesn’t change the way lemmy works. “Someone said something supportive of the thing we like. So it must be true.” Too bad economics doesn’t work that way.

If you want things to be cheap, you pit fossil fuel against green energy in real competition. Then they are both forced to get as cheap as possible at every layer of their supply chains if they want their respective supply chains to continue. That’s what kills profit and greed because they have to give up short-term greed for a shot at long-term survival. When you give either or both a government crutch, the executives involved try to reap as much cash out of that crutch now while the crutch exists.

Whether you give a crutch to either fossil fuel or green energy, at the end of the day you are giving it to an executive. He’s going to take advantage of it and not give you what you want every time.

Do you guys remember the incentives for rural internet rollout? Now they are paying premium cost for crapy internet, which the government already paid to exist. It doesn’t matter how much you agree with the thing you want money to go to, you aren’t going to get a good outcome.

I mean I could plug my shit. https://goatmatrix.net/

It’s not super active on the nsfw front but I’m open to it. You’ve just got to hit “hidden from front” on nsfw content.
Any sub exists. Just submit to any topic.

Hopefully that plug isn’t unwelcome, but you really can use it.

This is relevant.

Why can’t people just accept nature?

Well a lot of the obsession over the exact age of 18 is a modern concept. We think of that as a medieval concept, but nope. You just need to go back to the 70s and 80s.

FYI both sides got exposed. Every political account on Twitter is a spammer. No one would use twitter for enjoyment. Not enough hours a day to have a small audience.

The text actually required them to not violate anti-discrimination laws.

I was about to say, hot dogs are more expensive per pound than ground beef. Do people generally know what ingredients go into hot dogs?
