I remember there was an episode where someone pulls out an actual gun, meaning Pal World is probably more canon than people realize.

Stop believing anything Schumer says. He is pro whoever supports the most genocide against Palestinians. Democrats have supported it for a while, but Trump definitely wins that comparison by a landslide.
Trump does NOT want a government shutdown. He can't do much without a budget, and it will piss off voters. If he really wanted to shut it all down, he could have refused to sign the budget and forced a shutdown anyway.
Based on the pro Trump people in my life, I've seen two classes:
-
Those in denial and ignorant in general (don't really follow the news), who don't believe for example that Trump is deporting people without due process, and blatantly violating the law and constitution.
-
Those who are so sucked into the MAGA own-the-libs circle-jerk that even when presented with the facts and proof of Trump doing something blatantly illegal, will usually retort with something like "oh so when the Democrats do it it's okay, but now the Trump is doing it it's wrong??? You fucking communist!"
Both I believe are the result of being fed far right propaganda by YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, etc. It's the only explanation I have. These aren't random people I don't know. These are people I love and have known my whole life.
It hurts to see, and I don't see a way to help them that doesn't involve ruining those relationships. I avoid talking about politics around them because I know it's going to make me resent them, and I don't want that.

Is there a Lemmy feature to block unfounded conspiracy theories? Shit like this will get me to stop using this site, for the same reason I wouldn't use Facebook even if the privacy issues were solved.
If you're new to Linux, then your probably not familiar with the full Linux community yet. Much like in real life, online Linux spaces tend to have a very loud minority of conservatives who hate progress.
Usually you'll see them hating on things like systemd, 64bit architectures, containers, new packaging systems (like Flatpak), immutable and experimental distros (like Nix), Wayland, "bloated" desktops like KDE or Gnome, and much more.
And just like in real life, the antidote is to not take another person's word for it. Do your own homework/try things out yourself and arrive at your own conclusions.
Flatpaks implement deduping, so they actually don't take that much space when installed.

I think I found your real problem.
That protruding blob on the back of his neck isn't fat, it's actually a bonus concealed weapon slot.
IDEA: an AI that crawls Street View, ranks addresses by ease of break-in, and generates plans for pulling off heists.
I don't think that's a bad thing. I see it like adding a wheelchair ramp so handicapped congress people can enter the building on their own.
If someone wasn't able to become a congress person because it isn't "accessible" to their religion, that would be pretty bad for democracy (although tbh I wouldn't mind banning religious people from positions of power in general)
