I encourage you to watch the interview I posted. TL;DW the Dems should achieve their goals (which are better than those of the Reps) by playing like the Reps. Again, that’s the short version of the video which doesn’t do it justice, so if you want to argue it, I encourage you again to watch the video.

Let them be joined by left-aligned hogs.

Hopefully learn to play by the same rules as the Republicans and stop being such fucking pussies. Republicans cheat, lie, steal, and pretend to be morally superior while the Democrats try to abide by rules which aren’t in the rulebook. I found this interview quite good where it’s brought up.

Democrats, go play dirty otherwise you’ll keep fucking losing.

There’s nothing special about wanting to be special. It’s the most ordinary thing in the world.

Sony Releases Stupid Piece Of Shit That Doesn’t Fucking Work. Replace by Sony by Apple and it still fits perfectly.

I was in a sport team for a while and they hadn’t been treating me well for a while. One day, I slipped and fell during training. Instead of somebody helping me up, the majority of the team laughed at me. Something in my mind snapped that day and it nearly led to my first ever physical altercation. However, my punch just turned into a feint with the thought “fuck this, I’m out”.

That was the day I learned not to let things boil until they explode. Put me into any salad and I’m not the calmest cucumber, but I have never let things get that close again and always speak up or just straight up leave before getting too heated. Life’s just too short to stay in a bad situation you can get out of.

I understand the username now. That’s rough. Good luck to you in your future.

What do you mean by “acceptable”. People accepted a lot more?

When on the fediverse, there’s a good chance someone will tell you to install linux. With this sort of question, honestly I guess there’s no way of knowing how much access they have if you logged on with your work account on your personal computer. IMO, you shouldn’t be using your personal computer for work stuff unless they are somehow separated. I have no idea how to do that with software, so the easiest is to ask my job to provide a laptop and only use that laptop for work.

I avoid Amazon. Deleted my account years ago. They treat their workers like shit, don’t pay their taxes, extract wealth and send it overseas, pollute like there’s no tomorrow, but most importantly, Jeff Bezos is not a nice man.

My shopping happens mostly online, at farmers markets and local stores.

If Nazis made a great product, would you start supporting Nazis?

Because what you see on your screen is new. I bet you if you did some new shit IRL, it would be more impressive than on a screen. Dude, go sky-diving, racing, diving, kayaking, snowboarding, surfing, rock climbing, or play an intense game that physically wears you out. Travel to some place with a great view in the morning to see the sunrise and nice place to see the sunset. Go see the northern lights and tell me that’s mundane.

I love screens too because they let us see different worlds and even the impossible - inside of a star, quantum realms, spaceships, life as ant, other worlds, species, and a bunch of other shit, but if you see it all the time, that’ll be mundane too. I fell asleep to Dune, bro. Blockbusters with special effects send me to sleep because I’ve seen that shit thousands of times. Just got used to it. Probably that’s what happened to you.

If I had time, I’d maybe tell the dude to wait outside, then get my loafers, walk with him to the shop and buy a meal. Strangers in my house? No thank you. Good way to get robbed in my neighborhood.

There are free showers and halfway houses around here, so getting shower wouldn’t be a reason to knock on the door, I think.

Optimally, we should be housing everybody as its been proven time and time again how much cheaper it is than leaving people homeless. It’s what I vote for every time, but somehow people are just too selfish.

Basic what literacy?

This separation into “generations” is such bullshit. It’s just another way to divide the haves from the have-nots. If you blindly believe that generations define you, you’re the problem. You’re making it easy to be controlled and find another person to concentrate on while your rights, your liberties, your opportunities, and your privacy get slowly taken away from you.

I’d like to visit, but Thailand, Vietnam, Bali, and Japan look more enticing.

If lemmy’s communities were not instance bound, but cross instance, it wouldn’t be that much of a problem. People could recreate their accounts on another instance and just join the same community.
