For real. Imagine not turning out to vote and then being shocked that nobody goes out of their way to cater their platform to you.

This is me. Literally any time a day I could be just getting up or just going to sleep or in the middle of my day or in the middle of my sleep.

I hear pancaked!

Trains not planes is a much more reasonable and practical way to get people behind building more railways than planes not cars. We can talk planes not cars once some of the initial infrastructure is in place, but I think focusing on replacing something people hate (flying) rather than replacing something they like (driving) is probably a good place to start.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding the context of the image. Are you agreeing with the people in the image or saying they’re in denial by acting as though ICE should be held to the law?

Pretty sure those are just traffickers.

Is your goal that we should just… not say this is illegal? Not argue that it’s not okay? Literally fold and accept fascism?

Because that seems to be the narrative you’re pushing, which is the polar opposite of constructive in this situation.

Super weird and suspect that every thread seems to be full of people saying this is normal. That this is just how it is, that it’s been going on forever, and that anyone who has an issue with it is being unrealistic. Really, really weird. Almost like they’re cryptofascists.

HMMMMMMMM.

This is what 0patch is for!

Also 0patch, which will continue to provide security patches for Windows 10 indefinitely.

This is valid and identifiable!

I have a reasonable sized freezer, not a huge one, but I feel like if I put a bag of ice in it I’d have very little space. Ice cube trays will leave you with more room.

I buy stuff that lasts. For bread, I find that rye takes weeks longer than white or wheat to start going bad, and bagels last ages too. I make smoothies with mostly frozen fruit. For dinner stuff, if I’m not feeling like cooking I either buy things I’m going to eat in the next few days or I get these sealed precooked things from Aldi that are great and keep well. Coconut milk also tends to keep better than cow milk and lately I’ve realized I greatly prefer it.

About the only things that are super perishable that I keep around are bananas and avocados, and I just tend to eat these a lot. I also keep spinach or kale around for my smoothies, but I rebag them into separate smaller bags as soon as I get them. If my bananas are getting overripe, they get frozen for smoothies.

I also tend to buy canned soups, which last ages.

When I was cooking regularly I’d make a lot of chilis and pasta sauces. They’re good to freeze and they keep well on their own. Chili is arguably better after freezing and having more time to develop.

You can definitely eat pretty healthy and keep plenty of food in the house without constantly chasing waste.

The energy tied up in all of that is so familiar. Just the entire vibe of senseless unmitigated cruelty and mindless nonsensical screaming hits so hard and reminds me so much of some of the shittiest people I’ve encountered in my life. What Joe describes feels like a horrible distillation of something that’s a lot more pervasive than any one ‘school’ or cult or particular group of organized assholes systematically ruining people’s lives. It hit hard. Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks! I’ll give it a shot!

They’ve been around since at least the 80s. Probably earlier.

It literally took 30 years for the most expensive games to go up by $10.

This was me this morning but 11am.

Lemmy definitely feels like it’s declined a lot over the past year across the board. Every thread is a fight. I see a lot of Reddit style combative comments all over the place and I’m just less and less enthusiastic to be using it. I’ve tried a handful of instances, including places like Beehaw, and even there the level of hostility I see is absolutely unhinged.

If it was replaced with a decent wage, sure. In the mean time, though, if people stop tipping workers who don’t make a living wage they’re just taking part in exploiting their labor.

I will say that when I was younger and waiting tables, tipped wages in place of minimum wage worked out pretty great for me. I worked at a diner once a week for four hours on sundays to supplement my income and I’d walk out of there with at least $200 every time. I don’t think anyone would have been willing to pay me that outright.

What? I asked what makes you certain that the dock isn’t designed for it. If you’re certain, presumably you have a reason for this certainty and already know the specs from looking at it. I can’t see into your mind to know your motivation for making this assertion, which is why I asked.

I assume you have some expertise that makes this obvious to you, so would you like to share it?
