I’m pretty sure what they’re saying is that simply calling “the market” a scam is reductive to the point that it doesn’t really say anything meaningful. But it’s also a good sounding platitude, making it provocative despite the actual hollowness it conveys.
After a quick search I also think it’s a reference to Blades of Glory https://youtu.be/RlwlV4hcBac
If it was a button you pushed once instead of something you need to download and set up do you think they still wouldn’t use it?
Buying two (or more if other skin tones are affected) devices would be more expensive than buying one device that covers all skin tones?
If someone is a narcissist that believes themself better than others, why would they give a shit about hostility and finger wagging from others? If anything, it would prove that the other person is losing their cool and is therefore inferior to the narcissist.
I’m 6’3” and short among the cousins in my family. I don’t mind being a couple inches shorter in conversation. I get a little self conscious when I’m a head or more above everyone else in the room, which is a semi regular thing. I want to be shorter when I bonk my head on things that are low hanging for me. If I was any taller it would be even more difficult to find clothing.
I wouldn’t mind being a couple inches shorter, around 6 feet even.
Ah, North High. I played a bunch of flash games and watched the back half of the Naruto Chuunin Exams arc in the media center there since Cartoon Network’s website wasn’t blocked for some reason. Good times.
Time Squad. I was shocked that my mind could dredge it up after all these years.
It’s like Mr. Peabody and Sherman except instead of going back in time to educate the kid they’re time cops going back to correct history and the kid is the one who knows how it should go down. Think something like going back to colonial America and finding the founding fathers wanting to open a tea shop to have a tea party in, then coaxing them into the Boston Tea Party and kicking off the Revolutionary War.
BRIZINGA!
That was my first thought as well, but it left me wondering what elephants had to do with getting up (or something along those lines).
Man, I still think about that Humble Origin bundle sometimes. Being a broke high schooler at the time, $5 for Mirror’s Edge, Crysis 2, Dead Space, and more was a helluva deal!
Man, I watched The Second Civil War for the first time a couple months ago, and thought it was kind of an interesting take on what issues might be prevalent today. I thought the mass immigration of certain groups to appease political groups seemed a little far fetched though. I guess nothing is satire anymore. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Second_Civil_War
I joined Lemmy.world a couple years ago after kbin.social closed down, and made a Piefed account a few months ago when people said it was pretty good. I use both daily for different things.
For Lemmy I have found there is a big block button on each community page, so I use it a lot more than on Piefed. I also have my default sort set to top of the last 12 hours and to hide a post after I have viewed it. Sometimes if a post is only an hour or two long and doesn’t have a ton of comments I’ll wait a few hours to open it to have more comments to read. If it’s immediately interesting/relevant I’ll open it in a new tab, read it, then leave the tab to refresh later for further discussion since it won’t show up on my home page again. I also make heavy use of the Active sort after looking at the first page of 25 (I think) top results, which often leads to finding posts that I maybe wasn’t super interested in a day or two ago that now enough comments to make me interested in what the discussion is going on. There’s also a bug in the Active sort where the second page doesn’t load which is great to me because it encourages me to get off of Lemmy at that point.
All this has led my Lemmy usage to be very focused on what I am interested in, and there is a much higher ratio of posts that I am interested in. When I am bored and want to look at my phone, Lemmy is what I open. It’s where I tend to discuss things most frequently because I tend to find posts here first and they are more frequently things I want to speak on.
Piefed is where I go after Lemmy (You’ll never guess my username there). It looks like you can block communities, but you have to dig into your account settings and search for the community, which takes more work than I care to give. Unlike Lemmy, you can block keywords in your settings, so I blocked “Trump” and “Musk” when I made the account which has cut out the vast majority of the exhausting posts I would see otherwise (I do leave Politics and World News unblocked on Lemmy to see the biggest politics posts that float to the top). I have my default sort set to top posts of the last 24 hours and since I have no communities blocked I get a lot of comics and memes that I have blocked on Lemmy. The first page loads what feels like 100 posts instead of the 25 on Lemmy. I don’t know what the Active sort on Piefed is doing, but I do not care for it. I really like that I can set the default comment sort on Piefed, as it saves me the click and loading time of selecting Top comments every time I load a post.
All this leads my use of Piefed to feel like a funny junk drawer of mostly memes and comics that make me go “heh” every so often and occasionally share a meme to my friend group chat. The top 100 posts of the last day don’t change quickly so it usually only feels worthwhile to scroll once, maybe twice a day. I also don’t (can’t?) hide posts on Piefed which leads to a greater sense of redundancy, which by the time I’ve reached the bottom of the front page means I probably shouldn’t be scrolling more anyway.
If you can, you should make an account with both and see what feels best to you. Maybe you were looking for a more technical answer, but I can only speak to how it feels as an end user. A year ago I did start to throw a couple dollars to Lemmy each month for the server usage.
Yeah, it’s been 60 days so they are supposed to need congress to approve any further conflict. This lets them pretend that this is a new operation, and therefore a new conflict, to reset the timer.
I haven’t met my aunt’s cousin many times, but I did hear about her wedding. For his vows, Mike 3 (the third Mike she dated and I think second she had married) crushed an entire Mike’s Hard Lemonade then declared “I love you so much, Babe!” After the ceremony they took the rifles that had been leaning a few feet away and shot some targets nearby. I think that was a few weeks after she had been excited that 7 years had passed since her last bankruptcy, which meant she could start racking up debt again and go on a cruise.
I guess kudos to them for living their best lives, but if all that’s not a little trashy, I don’t know what is.
Hey, modern internal combustion engines are the worst they’ll ever be too! What a coincidence!
Additionally, Donald Trump does not appear on the chart of before and after wealth, presumbaly because the “according to Bloomberg” numbers are 20 time higher than the highest number that is on the chart.
Man, what a frustrating comment to read. I was so on board until the snootiness of the last two sentences. You don’t make that kind of money? You obviously do if you’re dropping 30k+ on a vehicle.
For comparison’s sake, the 2014 Altima I got 9 years ago gets 30 mpg. At the rate of $4.10/gallon I paid last week that’s $0.14 a mile, which is a hefty 3x your number. But then consider that I rent a couple rooms in a house, so I’m not installing a fast charging station at home to fully take advantage of the cheap $0.17kw/hr you are, and at the apartment I lived in previously level 1 charging wouldn’t be available at all. That leaves commercial charging stations which around me are closer to $0.30kw/hr. That would still make your EV (whatever model it is) about half the cost per mile, which is great, although not as great as my first impression felt when I saw your $0.04 number.
But why would you assume that everyone can drop tens of thousands of dollars upfront to switch to an EV? I want to think you’re just joking, but that didn’t come through from text alone, and your other comment that it is a choice to use an ICE vehicle tells me you’re probably not. That level of smarminess is just obnoxious.
I could go for some mint chocolate syrup poured over vanilla ice cream. That would slap. Please make me lose.
I don’t understand, you’re going to not buy a game that you presumably want developed by one studio because a sequel that does not exist and is developed by another studio because that non-existent, effectively unrelated game might be worse? Why not just get the one good game you want and ignore the games Amazon develops?
