“Digital media” is a hell of a weird way of saying “capitalism”

McCarthyism, Southern Strategy, three letter agencies spending decades actively targeting/murdering activists; yeah it’s been rough.

I loved specific fruit as a kid. Bananas, grapes, and watermelon? Hell yeah. Apples and honeydew? Death glare for suggesting it.

I and my sibling also got fiendish for salad and fresh vegetables but hated frozen.

I’d wager that just like with adults, every kid is different.

For me personally, anything times 5 can be reached by halving the number, then multiplying that number by 10.

Example: 66 x 5 = Y

• (66/2) x (5x2) = Y

  • cancel out the division by creating equal multiplication in the other number

  • 66/2 = 33

  • 5x2 = 10

• 33 x 10 = Y

• 33 x 10 = 330

• Y = 330

I’m going to hold onto the spark of your optimism until I can light my own; your perspective does help and I hadn’t considered it. Thank you /gen /pos

One can only hope, but knowing how fucking stupid my right-wing, sycophantic, fellow countrymen are I doubt much will change.

Pretty sure everyone who voted against him already hates him though.

GNOME is a lightly upgraded MacOS interface. Every time I’ve had to use a Mac has pissed me off so GNOME gives me war flashbacks.

Not necessarily the DE’s fault but ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Yes.

Autocorrect just bailed on her lmao

I think the joke is that a vocal chunk of the user base here also uses Linux

Good satire comment but unfortunately tone doesn’t translate well over text.

The Room (2003)

Bowie died in 2016. Is your clan mate like 14?

Original Broadway casting is a black man so that makes sense.

When I saw it live they cast an Asian man as Washington and he was also quite good for the role so I’d wager it depends on the production.

This gives Chaucer vibes

Cringe all the way down

Good god what did you say

If it’s any perverse consolation people believed those stupid fucking conspiracies long before the internet shoved their idiocy in our faces.

I grew up in a household with those conspiracies, including but not limited to Illuminati, wrist chips, and other flavors of end-of-times insanity. Grown adults spewing that straight faced made me lose my trust in them.

I also grew up playing the game and understood it was fully fabrication, but also a commentary just like every other science fiction work.

Idiots are not new, just louder now.

“Sifting through resumés all day is like a horrible experience and it’s not very reliable.”

Ah yes, and applying for jobs is just so easy and not at all disproportionately more degrading than hiring. /s

Per the Wikipedia article:

It is a common myth in the United States that DST was first implemented for the benefit of farmers.[38][39][40] In reality, farmers have been one of the strongest lobbying groups against DST since it was first implemented.[38][39][40] The factors that influence farming schedules, such as morning dew and dairy cattle’s readiness to be milked, are ultimately dictated by the sun, so the clock change introduces unnecessary challenges.[38][40][41]

TL:DR for the rest of the history and rationale: Most of this was rich people wanting more time for their personal hobbies, other people’s sleep and health be damned.
