Well, now that Trump is a demented dictator of a backwater country, he also needs to update the aesthetics to match. Putting gold everywhere while the impoverished populace is getting whacked by police just makes sense, you know? A time-honoured tradition.

I can get frozen chicken bits pretty cheap. My cheap options right now look like a half a kilo plus sauces, or (with some walking) a full kilo, plus no extras.

“Man, however, is not a being whose exclusive purpose in life is eating, drinking, and providing a shelter for himself. As soon as his material wants are satisfied, other needs, of an artistic character, will thrust themselves forward the more ardently. However, if there’s some rotisserie chicken available, you absolutely should grab that immediately, because that’s a rare treat.”

• Peter Kropotkin: The Conquest of Bread, ch. 9

" Man shall not live by bread alone, but if you grab some of that damn good rotisserie chicken, mm-mmm, that’s some good stuff." Jesus, Matthew 4:4

Folks! Are YOU thinking of getting Disney+? Well, you can see the only content worth watching there, right here. …that’s not much, now is it?

Obligatory comment from someone on the [email protected] crowd:

How cars fly on planes? WELL THEY USUALLY DON’T. We just make shitloads of infrastructure for them. BCUZ OF FREEDUMZ

All the good luck with that!

These things happen, can’t expect five nines from every server.

…Is math related to science?
If the universe is so big, then why doesn’t it fight me?

(Yeah, I know, I shouldn’t be quoting Internet Historian, these could be stolen jokes. It’s funny because these are the sort of jokes I could come up with)

Lollipop snatching? Amateur tier. Now let’s do some bronze tier stuff.

You can register on a Piefed instance and use Lemmy’s subscription export feature and Piefed’s import feature to retain your subscriptions. Porting comments/posts isn’t a thing.

There’s work underway creating migration scripts for Lemmy databases to be imported to Piefed, but that is a tool for instance administrators only, of course.

Well, the .ml folks are often espousing authoritarian points of view and I fail to see how that will bring forth a more positive society. I think authoritarian societies have been problematic in the past. But that is just my opinion.

But there are a lot of societal issues that need to be improved for good though!

I remember the comic being much larger than I expected back in the day.

Technically it was a three parter: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3. Just that it was published in Flickr which really wasn’t good at this whole “webcomic” thing.

I keep thinking of one of the old videos I saw.

“…I dunno, maybe we should get rid of all of the landlords!”

“But who would we then pay rent to?”

I was, like, holy shit, things are so much more complicated than I even realised, everything is based on some dumb suppositions or some shit.

Singular “porvari”, plural “porvarit”, social class “porvaristo”. Finnish is easy!

…but those aren’t even words. He… he’s not even attempting to… produce words…

This is such a stupid timeline.

Random Republican, transported through time from 15 years ago: “No no no no no! You see, gerrymandering has everything to do with census data. It’s completely impartial! There’s no way the process will fail us.”

[Gets shown the footage]

Random Time-Displaced Republican: “Excuse me, but… Who the hell is in the power right now?”

[More footage]

RTDR: “Ohhhhh shit I HAVE TO GO BACK TO MY TIME!!! …What do you mean you can only time travel forward in time?”

Me, upon installing Debian KDE distro, and having Dragon Player pop up: I ALREADY INSTALLED VLC, WHAT THE HELL DUDES

Like 80% of the games I already play are random indie stuff. I buy maybe 1-2 new big studio games a year, and even those aren’t exactly AAA. Right now, feels like big studios aren’t trying hard to produce actually interesting games, just more franchise slop.

Steam machine got a solid “Oooooooo! Can’t afford one right now but I’m sure keeping an eye on this one!” out of me.

Side note: I’ve been waiting for decades now for the official folks to finally mail me a copy of the Homosexual Agenda, but they never do! It’s maddening! How the hell are queer people supposed to coordinate stuff???
