Those years were around the time he was very pro-LGBT and human rights. Seems like he stopped taking the “we’re all connected” drugs and started taking the “I’m amazing and better than everyone” drugs.

“Hey! That store you don’t shop at? Make sure you continue to not shop there for the next 40 days! That’ll show the elites!”

If someone I don’t like or interact with says they support me, that is not me “teaming up” with them.

The President is behind him too. I don’t like either of them, but I can see why people would want to take a picture.

People hate whenever Brave is mentioned… But when it comes to privacy, I have not regretted my decision to use it

Sword, bat, laser gun, wand. Not for using directly, but for throwing.

Anything that can be chucked at my opponents face gives me time to rush in and combo them.

Buddy, this is a pathetic coping mechanism. You want so badly to believe they are miserable, because you just can’t fathom that life would be so unfair as to make them happy.

As the lone liberal in a large family of conservatives, let me tell you, they’re not miserable. My family group chat has been filled with happy vacation photos, play date arrangements for kids, jokes, and laughter.

The truth is, most conservatives don’t actually care about “sticking it to the libs”; they just don’t give a shit at all. They don’t listen to the news, they don’t talk about politics, they don’t have any significant worries. They go to their straight, white, Christian churches; talk to their straight, white, Christian friends; and discuss how great their straight, white, Christian families are.

Of course they have fear and hatred of anything that isn’t straight, white, or Christian; but that by no means makes them unhappy. They live in their bubbles, and inside their bubble, everything is nice and perfect. It’s those filthy liberals, who were so cruel as to occasionally make them look outside of their bubble, that were the real problem. And now that they’re out of office and they never have to leave or look outside their bubbles again, everything is once again perfect. Just perfect.

Nah, this is crazier. Ignore the DEI angle and this is a state suing a company for the crime of not being profitable. That’s way more out of the norm than a racist gunman shooting people because he’s racist.

I mean, he was incredibly rich. That probably helped.

Maybe recognize that your partner doesn’t ascribe as much meaning to arbitrary dates and that silently expecting them to do something is a toxic mentality. I hope you realize you’re not teaching them any sort of lesson, you are intentionally setting yourself up to be disappointed/upset at your partner for not following the rules of a game they didn’t know you were playing.

Especially these days. Don’t you think it’s possible they have other things on their mind? I know I do. Between trying to figure out how to pay bills, figuring out how to save a little so we can retire some day, thinking about how stressful my job is, thinking about all the chores that need to be done, worrying about the health of myself and my family, worrying about car/home repairs, keeping insurance/registrations/enrollments/appointments/documents all up to date, and the endless struggle of what we’re having for dinner tonight; there’s just not a whole lot of mental space left for reading my partner’s mind and fulfilling their unspoken expectations.

You say this has been happening for years. Ever think that it’s just not something that’s going to change? That you’re expecting a fish to climb a tree unprompted and then getting upset with the fish when it doesn’t?

Grow the fuck up. Be a partner to your partner. How hard is it to say “Hey, I’d like to feel special on Valentine’s Day. It’s important to me.”?

No, they used Telegram because they’re idiots and don’t understand privacy.

So folks have already explained the stick, but you’re actually somewhat close to one of the ways you can sort of bend the rules of FTL, at least when it comes to a group of photons.

Instead of a stick, imagine a laser on earth pointed at one edge of the moon. Now suddenly shift the laser to the other side of the moon. What happens to the laser point on the moon’s surface?

Well, it still takes light speed (1.3 seconds to the moon) for the movement to take effect, but once it starts, the “point” will “travel” to the other side faster than light. It’s not the same photons; and if you could trace the path of the laser, you’d find that the photons space out so much that there are gaps like a dotted line; but if you had a set of sensors on each side of the moon set up to detect the laser, they would find that the time between the first and second sensor detecting the beam would be faster than what light speed would typically allow.

It’s not exactly practical, and it’s such an edge case that I doubt we can find a good way to use it, but yeah; FTL through arc lengths can kind of be a thing. At least if you tilt your head and squint funny at it.

Cuz even if I’m semi-conscious, I’m still in my warm cocoon of heavy blankets where there are no problems and no people to bother me. There are some mornings I would give up nearly anything for just 5 more minutes.

It makes me sad that so few games utilized the potential of the WiiU gamepad. There was this game called Zombie U that managed to really show how incredible it could be. There was a mode where players would be in a zombie wave survival arena except 1 player would instead be controlling the spawns via a map on the gamepad. They could see where the other players were, where the weak spots were, and had their own progression tree to unlock better zombies.

I would also accept bringing back gladiatorial combat for people like this. Obviously his teeth and fingernails should be ripped out beforehand though. Fair is fair.

I don’t know about the .ee instance, but the .world one tends to have every post downvoted to zero and every comment stating why conservatives are wrong. I try to keep my ear to the ground and know what crazy talking points conservatives are believing and the .world sub is pretty much useless for that. I don’t think there’s a single conservative that actually uses that sub.

Lemmy has conservative subs?

Laughs in usenet

Yea, torrents. Sure. Lol.

Things are tense, but are they really Cuban Missile Crisis levels of tense?

Cherry picked and edited to give bad answers. Go play around with any of the big models, you’ll be bored and disappointed because 99.9% of the time it will give you exactly what you ask for.

Except Gemini. Gemini is a drunk.
