This is why you should never allow your terminal to execute news headlines directly. You’re definitely going to want to sandbox your RSS autoexecutor.

I agree with the general sentiment, I don’t think friendship is lesser, but I’d like to see an example of a healthy romance that doesn’t involve friendship.

Not enough Branston pickle, which to make up the ratio would require about half the jar I think. But then you’d have a perfect ploughmans lunch! (I’m not even a Brit, i just like a good peasant meal!)

Huh, never saw this one but in high school I had a dream just like this. I met a beautiful woman, perfect in every way, we got married had some kids, I even got some ways into middle age. Then, I was sitting in chair and noticed that my vision seemed… blurry at the edges, in a very “vignette filter” kind of way and I immediately knew I was dreaming. Woke up just as the existential collapse started. For several years after I’d try to remember her face, what our love had felt like, any of the details that had seemed so solid and tantalizing real for those few sleeping hours.

In retrospect, a lot like that Rick and Morty episode with the life simulator game. I wonder if one of the writers ever had that dream too? Brains are weird, and I haven’t any dreams nearly that all encompassing since.

The article reads like a fever dream, I can’t believe Kotoku published this guy’s notes about a podcast he heard. They say the car set wqs “hermetically sealed” because it had to go upside down, and that the set was evacuated for 3 hours after. But also that Will Smith just farts a lot, as everyone knows. Insane stuff.

I truly do not understand my fellow countryfolks’ minds. Why toilet paper, again?

A quick search can tell you what goods might be affected, and paper products don’t even make the list! https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/transportation/2024/10/01/strike-at-the-port-of-ny-and-nj-what-imports-are-affected/75468183007/

Imports into the Port of NY and NJ

• Furniture
• Appliances, machinery and parts
• Plastics
• Beverages, spirits and vinegar
• Electric machinery and parts
• Apparel and accessories, knit
• Rubber
• Vehicles and parts
• Iron and steel
• Toys, games, sports equipment

So as you’d expect: cars, furniture, electronics, fast fashion, some raw materials

In other words, very little that is essential or that you’ll miss in the next few months, but a lot of luxury things that cheap importers make a lot of money on.

Honestly, we’d be better off as a country if we permanently stopped importing a lot of this shit and went back to making it outselves.

You’re a good and considerate friend, personally I’ve never believed those nasty rumors.

Poor people move where it’s cheaper to live. It’s cheaper to live where risk is higher. This is how risk is systematically offloaded onto the lower class. We build and live in these dangerous places, and we suffer all the loss and damage from those risks. The owner class takes all the profits and value from those places while investing little to nothing in them (too risky!)

The problem is that you can be angry all day and it won’t accomplish anything without coordinated, planned, collective action. And collective action is made more difficult with angry people.

Anger motivates you to act Right Now, which is why it’s good for reactionaries. They want you either impotently angry so you can’t think clearly to make those long term, organized plans; or they want you mad enough to go do a little stochastic terrorism.

Progressives have a lot of trouble hitting the slow-burn simmer of anger in a way that’s motivational and doesn’t slip into despair when you get tired from all that rage that you can’t turn into immediate results.

She’s recently switched to TypeScript and is annoyed that non-delivery drivers keep messing up her code. If people remembered to strongly type their driver objects, the compiler would have caught that error.

I guess assembler is sumerien then, only still written and understood? And cobol or fortran? Linear a and b?

Maybe I’m missing a joke, but just in case, please sleep on it before you commit to anything. Nothing improves after it ends.

Disgusting! How are you bypassing my block with this animated pornography?

I’ve often thought it would be funny to add more and more modern features to FreeDOS. Funny but like, also a lot of work for a “joke.”

The irony is that I’m using Voyager on Android. An LCARS skin would be great, and now I’m shocked there isn’t a Trek-themed Lemmy client.
