You mean the one currently spiraling into “murdering citizens in the street”-level fascism?

Too late, for me at least

I just installed Linux Mint last weekend. Working great so far!

My Linux journey over the last ~18 hours:

I followed a YouTube video on how to install Linux Mint on a flash drive last night around 11pm and got it to post before going to bed. This morning I woke up at 9am, made coffee, then spun up my new OS, configured my system settings, played around with some extensions, then downloaded Steam and a few games and had at it with no fuss.

IIRC it may be about avoiding oversight/keeping it tightly classified behind executive privilege.

Here’s the video if you’re curious.

I saw a compelling theory that it’s a data center

Lol I was also confused, we can be dumb in solidarity today.

I respect my community, not the authority that governs us.

It’s not even a stretch of the imagination to come to the idea that they’d say, “she disobeyed, therefore she deserved to die”.

They eagerly dehumanize anybody who diverges from their strict ideals. Remember how Kristi Noem admitted to shooting her dog dead because it behaved like the big untrained puppy that it was? She told that story because they believe that is a reasonable response to an untrained, young and full of energy dog being disobedient.

In their mind, Renee Good was no better and deserved no better than that dog.

It’s so dumb because they could so easily score some points by throwing him under the bus and saying, “no he crossed a line and should face justice” but no, they’ve got to be as evil as fucking possible like it’s compulsory.

I guess what Trump actually meant by, “Drill, Baby, drill”

Oh that actually makes a lot of sense!

The idea that you’re “supposed” to spend $X on a ring is absurd. Are you getting engaged to show off your wealth or to commit to a relationship? What does spending excessive amounts of money on a trinket have anything to do with the latter?

I wouldn’t call myself frugal by any means, I generally support people spending their money on nice things that they find value in so long as they’re not living beyond their means.

That being said, IMHO dropping $5k on a ring makes you a god damn idiot.

I quit Reddit when it killed 3rd party apps to force people onto their shitty app and shove ads down our throats. I intentionally took a break from scrolling but eventually joined Lemmy 6-months later when I didn’t notice any profound differences in my relationship with my phone/the internet.

Another idea could be to see if local small businesses would be willing to sell your wares! I’ve seen stuff like handmade earrings and trinkets for sale at the register at small coffee shops in my town, plenty of other businesses also have paintings and photographs by local artists on the walls for sale. I have no insight on those agreements are made but I’d imagine they would ask for a commission.

You may have already looked into it and I’m not sure what the farmer’s market scene is where you are but I often see small scale makers selling wares at mine!

“Turn your hobby into a business!”, they said. “It’ll be fun!”, they said.

My EV charging app sent me a wrapped-style email the other day. Full of stuff like the station that I used most often. It’s too much.
