I just got silenced and banned from that other thread on asklemmy at ml because I explained what other leftists consider Tankies. They sure are a sensitive bunch for anything other than the one authorized truth.

It's a stupid strategy for a stupid Linux distro from a newly bought company that has barely yet legs to stand on, not to mention products or income. Their market is to cash in on middle aged surplus nostalgia money of 8/16-bit computers. Now they are putting themselves on the line to become support for any number of clueless users with random computer hardware for their own Linux distro and a fuckton of freeware games they shovel along with it any other software people want to run and they will get absolutely nothing for it.

I was thinking before that will become yet another chapter of the Commodore trademark ownership saga from bad business decisions to the next and that chapter seems to be shortening itself fast.

Killed everything in my planter box in our communal grow area and spreading ticks everywhere they go. Bastards.

Definitely not but I'm not American.

Please do not mutilate your child because of tradition.

Nobody hates leftists like other leftists with a slightly different flavour of leftism. This is by tradition as long as the leftist discourse has been up. Plenty of people find it unthinkable with nuances or compromises even for communal goals that would benefit everybody.

Add to this that social media is inherently toxic and anonymity brings out the absolute worst in many people to spew hate for slight differences in opinion.

It's too bad but I'd recommend you to not get caught up in it and don't let it get to you. People are people and the chances that they will change in any foreseeable future are small. Keep doing what you think is positive and constructive and don't let others make you disappointed.

People taught to trust authority without questioning it are very convenient for totalitarian rulers.

Obviously you would. And so would I. There are people the world is better without and this is one of them.

Wavy screen is the classic method isn't it

I'd assume it would improve morale.

I'm throwing out the terms BURGR, SAUSGE, STEK as prior art so nobody can trademark them and everybody that produces vegetarian or vegan food can use them free of charge.

 

What is it and what is the presentation? It can be a game, movie, series, book, toy, device, gadget, thingymajingy whatever.

 

I'm having a shite day and reading the news and browsing social media with everything going on everywhere isn't making it better.

Please share something good around you or from your part of the world. A little text, a little image, an article, a video...

 

I'd make a political satire in a single frame where people are led away by government forces while another group of people were cheering for them and yet another group in the foreground would be making smug internal quips and clever takes about what is going on.

~"Imagine how angry they would be if we were throwing them into concentration camps" sort of things.

But I'm not and I can't draw for shit so I'll just throw it out there for anybody that wants it. Any number of you.

It's so weird watching from the outside how USA is literally in the real world getting grabbed by fascists and even the people who are targeted next and know it still can't seem to comprehend and accept what is happening and that it is not just a game somewhere far away.

(Moved here from casual conversation.)

 

News in Swedish, I could only find AI translated slop in English. But this one has a video from the event though it is a tabloid.

 

Originally I was thinking of violent thugs, but then I came to think that thugs exist in many varieties, like the aforementioned thugs of physical violence, but then also economical thugs or general power tripping thugs abusing power at whatever level they are at. It such a simple and pointless living. I can't understand it.

 

He farts in his sleep, wakes up and gives me a dirty look, smells his butt and realizes that's where the smell is from, and walks away with demonstrative annoyance.

Why butt? Why do you do this to me?

It looks like some sort of wiring inside

 

I know all my dogs friends names but less than half of their owners names and now it is too late to ask.

 

May his tomorrow be without... No, wait!

 

I bet Buddhist monks living in celibacy need some relief too
