They think when the chaos hits they’ll be the ones climbing the ladder instead of the ones being used as a ladder.

George Jetson was able to support his whole family off his single job working one hour a day, two days a week and his job was to just push a button.

The people in the past were Incredibly optimistic about the future.

That’s what I’m hoping for as well. The Switch is a great console and the only thing it really needs is upgraded hardware.

Her quote never really felt that outrageous. She wasn’t even calling all Trump supporters “deplorable”. Here’s her quote

“You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right?” Clinton said. “The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic—you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up.” She said the other half of Trump’s supporters “feel that the government has let them down” and are “desperate for change.” “Those are people we have to understand and empathize with as well,” she said.

Wasn’t he powerless in the episode he was afraid of Guinan? Maybe he was worried she would use the opportunity to get revenge.

The least they could have done was give him a chair.

Strippers don’t rotate around the pole. The pole itself is rotating.

If I was a corrupt Russian general, embezzling funds meant for nuclear deterrence upkeep would be a pretty safe bet since they are the weapons least likely to ever be used and thus least likely to be found out.

That’s exactly what I thought as well from reading the headline. It definitely could have been worded better.

I thought it said “his shole had teeth” and it took me awhile to both notice the B and to really be it was for censorship.

Reminds me of the Trump supporter that was surprised when her undocumented husband got deported.

This and the Nike ad have been the worst ads during the Olympics.

I don’t think you’d have prostitution in a currencyless society. They wouldn’t be prostitutes at that point.

Do you have to take your posts with you? I’ve seen people mention this before but I don’t understand why that’s such a big deal. I do agree about the communities though and feel that there needs to be an easy way to export your subscriptions so they can be imported on another account.

Honestly, I feel like self-hosting a single user instance is the ideal way to use the Fediverse. It gives you full control over what you see. However, that would require self hosting to become so simple anyone can do it.

Reading all these comments it’s clear that a lot of people have unrealistic ideas regarding what Lemmy and the Fediverse are supposed to be (or maybe it’s me with weird ideas).

The Fediverse is just a bunch of apps that can all communicate with each other through a shared protocol. There is no requirement for them to be free speech platforms or host everything. The whole purpose of defederation supports the idea that instances are free to associate or disassociate with whichever instances they want. Furthermore, nearly every guide I read on joining Lemmy state that you should choose instances to join based on shared ideals/beliefs.

For everyone saying “I’m leaving lemmy.world” I say “Good. That’s what you’re supposed to do.” When the instance you join no longer aligns with what you want, you go to another instance and then you’ll be back to viewing all the communities you want to see. That is what the Fediverse is all about and how it’s designed.

So they’re finally realizing that staunch support of politicians with unchristian behavior leads to unchristian behavior in their constituency.

I’ve been feeling this lately as well. I’ll see people post pictures of display cases filled with all their consoles and it makes me regret giving away my old consoles when I bought a new one.

I especially miss my N64.
