Stadiums are getting increasingly fascist. My response will be to stop going to events in them.

Just because it’s insane doesn’t mean it won’t happen

If it’s on the ballot, I’ll be voting for it.

Useless comment.

I disagree, his comment made it obvious that I should block him.

CLIs are almost always magnitudes more expressive than their feeble, derivative GUIs.

Yeah, I’m a hunching it up a bit, but I can’t imagine it’s a good thing (for reasoning) to have your brain full of microplastics.

It’s a bit of an aside, but there’s a large amount of absurdity in expecting scientific rigor in lemmy comments when purportedly scientific bodies are being led by vaccine-denying simpletons.

That ubiquitous expectation of powerless individuals to reason and behave perfectly while ultra-powerful people can behave like spoiled five year olds is foundational in making life fucking miserable for me personally.

Every country suffers from what? Mass stupidity?

Maybe that’s true but it certainly seems like we are more individualistic and stupid than most…and I don’t think those two things are entirely unrelated.

America is more car-oriented than most other western countries and leaded gas is how we did the majority of our poisoning.

Yes, of course microplastics are everywhere, but I’ve read studies saying that internationally they’re eating about the same amount of plastic as we did years ago, but they kind of plateaued whereas here in the good ol USA people still don’t know that it’s not a good idea to eat three meals a day of microwaved food cooked in plastic containers.

Read the book “bowling alone” if you’re interested in someone’s attempt at researching why we went from collectivism to individualism as a country. There are a large amount of factors but if I were to take a crack at it, I’d list a few: TV, the Internet, smart phones, air conditioning, capitalism, and (last but certainly not least) racism. Racism is foundational to the country and its history.

As far as the stupidity, some of the same factors apply, but there are also additional ones like environmental factors (US citizens eat more microplastics than any other major country since like 2020 and we lead poisoned ourselves for a century), a deep-seeded anti-intellectualism, and we’re a large part cultist/religious idiots that see everything through the lense of “some guy” being the best thing ever and the source of all truth.

Of course he doesn’t, he’s got TDS.

Guys, just steal this and use it to describe deranged Trump idiots. The right wing steals useful words like “fake news” and “groomer” and alters their meanings for political purposes all of the time. This one should be a layup because without reading into it everyone already thinks it’s the condition those everyday July 4th cosplay, big truck with tattered flags morons have.

Yeah but most of these errors don’t even give out a uuid that could be used to relate the error to logs to be resolved by someone.

Not that that someone exists anyway. Let’s face it the entire industry is a massive joke and a pile of shit and with AI coming fast and hard soon you won’t even get the privilege of venting to a call center person about it.

You’ll vent to some made-up chatbot named veeblezorp and he will give you an impromptu therapy session about the state of the world. Your computer/tablet/phone/app still won’t work properly and veeblezorp will try to get you through the stages of grief about that.

Just unplug it and don’t plug it back in again. Go for a walk. Play with the dog. Hug your children. Stop buying crap online that scales up infinitely to take new customers (and their dollars) but is forever stuck at the sub-garage startup level when it comes to support.

And this despite giving billionaires everything they asked for including the tax breaks that created them in the first place.

Guillotines for a better America

Yeah I guess I left out “lottery winner”

It’s simple to be successful:

1. have rich parents that can give you money

2. have easy access to loan programs because you’re white and have rich parents

The US is like the Facebook or Google or Twitter or Amazon of countries. Out of simple convenience and ease of use people centralized their lives around us and now that we’re obviously falling apart they’re going to have to make a huge effort to get rid of our influence.

I just realized that this country has been enshittifying itself my entire life.

We’re the inshitternet of countries.

USB-C likely will take over video eventually. I use it for video on two out of three of my monitors and the Nintendo switch can be used that way.
