In my case, the house I bought had been renovated before I bought it, but so poorly that it was considered a “fixer-upper” anyway. Technically, the kitchen has a refrigerator water supply, but the layout was so awkward that I ended up putting a cabinet in front of it and putting my refrigerator on the other side of the room.

I eventually ended up getting a countertop ice maker for ~$150, which is less convenient than a built-in one would be, but is also kinda nice because it makes relatively fancy, chewable “nugget” ice.

I know a fascist dystopia isn’t quite the same thing, (except in HL2, where you get both), but the thing going through my mind is “rule #1: cardio” from Zombieland.

Not every kitchen has the plumbing for it.

TIL those are out of print and valuable. Most of mine were ex-library copies bought for 50¢ each. I guess I should have kept getting them more diligently, since it sounds like now it would be difficult for me to complete my collection.

To be fair, Florida only seems like a better option because there are almost no Seminole and Miccosukee people (who themselves emerged from the remnants of earlier tribes devastated by genocide banding together) left to object.

It’s more than that. They support Israel because the Jews returning to the Holy Land is one of the preconditions to kick off Armageddon. They don’t just want a Christofascist white ethnostate; they think their evil asses are gonna get Raptured.

LOL, good luck with that.

(Inverse ETFs, especially leveraged ones, don’t work the way you think they do. They’re not really intended or suitable for anything but day-trading.)

Slap her in the face for me.

This is part of how they rationalize their resistance / apathy towards movements for justice, at the very least they believe it is futile to seek justice in this life.

Sounds like bullshit an unjust leader would feed them.

I mean, maybe, but previously when I’ve said that it’s typically gone over like a lead balloon. Even in tech forums, a lot of people have drunk the kool-aid that it’s somehow suddenly too dangerous to allow owners to control their property just because software is involved.

My dad voted for Trump, so if he calls me to help with his Social Security I’m gonna fucking laugh in his face.

Thanks!

It wasn’t even necessarily the majority. Not back then, and not now. What happens is that normalcy bias stops even people who oppose the regime from acting against it until it’s already too late:

But the one great shocking occasion, when tens or hundreds or thousands will join with you, never comes. That’s the difficulty. If the last and worst act of the whole regime had come immediately after the first and smallest, thousands, yes, millions would have been sufficiently shocked—if, let us say, the gassing of the Jews in ’43 had come immediately after the ‘German Firm’ stickers on the windows of non-Jewish shops in ’33. But of course this isn’t the way it happens. In between come all the hundreds of little steps, some of them imperceptible, each of them preparing you not to be shocked by the next. Step C is not so much worse than Step B, and, if you did not make a stand at Step B, why should you at Step C? And so on to Step D.

And one day, too late, your principles, if you were ever sensible of them, all rush in upon you. The burden of self-deception has grown too heavy, and some minor incident, in my case my little boy, hardly more than a baby, saying ‘Jewish swine,’ collapses it all at once, and you see that everything, everything, has changed and changed completely under your nose. The world you live in—your nation, your people—is not the world you were born in at all. The forms are all there, all untouched, all reassuring, the houses, the shops, the jobs, the mealtimes, the visits, the concerts, the cinema, the holidays. But the spirit, which you never noticed because you made the lifelong mistake of identifying it with the forms, is changed. Now you live in a world of hate and fear, and the people who hate and fear do not even know it themselves; when everyone is transformed, no one is transformed. Now you live in a system which rules without responsibility even to God. The system itself could not have intended this in the beginning, but in order to sustain itself it was compelled to go all the way.

No. At this point Reddit is evil because it’s censoring anti-fascist content and organizing. It’s becoming a Nazi bar just like the rest of them.

Name and shame. Which browser and which instance?

And is it just something like an SSL error (i.e. the instance screwing up), or is it specifically some kind of anti-Lemmy disinformation?

Maybe, if that two-step determination of liability is really what the parent commenter had in mind.

I’m not so sure he’d agree with my proposed way of resolving the dispute over liability, which would be to legally require that all self-driving systems (and software running on the car in general) be forced to be Free Software and put it squarely and completely within the control of the vehicle owner.

Hold the prosecutor in contempt.

IIRC the judge can order the arrests and also deputize people to carry them out.
