Honestly I prefer it to Reddit because it's smaller and more civil.
But I won't lie, I've quit Lemmy for a few days when there's a huge news story.
I'll go over there because there's more engagement and updates seem to happen more frequently.
But in general I prefer it here, and I'm happy most of the people stay over there, I don't want most of them here anyway.

I can't imagine why 🤷‍♂️

There's no such thing as a "vaccine skeptic".
Skeptic implies that they could have their opinion swayed if presented with evidence. The fact that they're still "skeptical" despite literal mountains of evidence shows that they only call themselves "skeptics" because it makes them sound reasonable, when in reality if they could have been swayed by reason they would have changed their minds a long time ago.

They all have guns, they WILL use them against you as soon as Trump gives them the ok to do so.
It's instantly to think you can defend yourself from armed Nazis with community outreach and peaceful protests.

Apparently he died last fall fighting for Ukraine

Especially since he'll probably want an exception for his junk.
125% for everything with the exception of trump branded bullshit, honestly I'm kind of surprised it's not already in the fine print.

Guess we're going to see a flood of cheap Chinese stuff in every other market in the world too soon.

And people in those markets are set to make billions by importing cheep Chinese goods, placing them in packaging made in their country, and exporting to the US with a markup.

I already know it happens because I've done it at a factory here in the United States.
I worked for a plastic injection molding company and we would import cheap Chinese metal tools and parts, for example a garden hose sprayer, then injection mold a plastic handle around it that covered the "made in China" stamp and repackage it in boxes that said "proudly made in the USA"
This was all good and legal because the plastic handle and packaging were indeed made in the USA and our company didn't consider them finished products without the handles.

The old testament in Christianity is just the Torah of the Jewish faith.
With the Mormons they've added a 3rd testament they call the book of Mormon.
I'd argue they're just as separated from Christians as Christians are from Jews.

Is this after it was vandalized?

If only that dickhead in Butler knew to aim for the center of mass....
But no, the idiot needed his headshot.
He wanted to be Lee Harvey Oswald but ended up John Schrank

Hopefully the optics of them kissing Trump's ass will piss the populous off enough that they put pressure on their leaders to not take his shit.

 
 
 

Corporate culture is based on constant growth and ever increasing profit margins. Eventually they'll amass so much of the wealth that most of the lower class won't be able to purchase anything other than essentials like food.
No new cars, no tech gadgets, no fancy dinners, no vacations, no disposable income.
When we get there the economy collapses because there's no money going into it.
The profits stop rolling in, unnecessary goods stop being produced, and the luxury goods producer's shut down.
At this point the money they worked so hard to hoard becomes worthless because they can't buy anything with it.
What's the endgame for them if their current path takes them to a point where their assets are more or less worthless?

 

Every self-respecting Democrat or leftist who cares about themselves or their family should own a firearm and know how to properly and safely use it.
We're entering a time where it may be critical that you need to defend yourself. It is not out of the realm of possibility that you or your family may be targeted in the not distant future for your political leanings.
We all know that the Republicans have guns because they never shut the fuck up about them, and we also know that in their wildest wet dreams Trump will let them run the streets gunning down anyone who is isn't white or anyone who voted Democrat.
They have guns, they know how to use them, how are you going to defend yourself when they come for you?

 

I get it, Biden is old and that's a problem, but why doesn't anyone seem to have a problem with the fact that Trump is almost the same age, has 34 felonies, raped at least 2 women, went to Epstein's Island 11 times, sexualized his own daughter, stole classified documents, aligned himself with Xi and Putin, and can't remember common names?

Is all of that really better than being 2½ years older than he is right now?

 

Anyone seen this before?

My OS is on a 512gb M.2 drive, but the main storage on my laptop was a 1TB HDD, it started making noise about 2 weeks ago so I backed everything up onto a 1TB SanDisk USB SSD. This afternoon it got very clicky when I booted it up after work and icons for a few games I had stored on it, like KSP and YUZU, disappeared from the desktop and taskbar.

 
 

If we're supposed to be able to understand math as easily as a language, we should be able to read it from left to right like a language.
Yes, I know there's lots other languages that go right to left or top to bottom, but the point is you don't have to go jumping around the page or sentence figuring out which word should be read first based on which characters it contains.
We put the first word first, then the second word second, etc.
Why can't we just write equations in the order they were meant to be solved?

 

Edit: I mean to say just a significant amount, not a majority. That's obviously porn.
