There are so many people in the fediverse who are just typing words because they like to see their name on a screen.

I got a pretty suspicious email a few weeks ago and flagged it. Later day that our sysadmin was like “oh hey that was legit, <vendor> has started using a new marketing firm so they look like that.” I just said “Sounds like spam to me I’m going to keep on flagging it.” and he just responded with a frown emoji. Full disclosure we’re decent work buddies and I haven’t actually gotten any more emails from that company so he may have actually filtered it lol.

Right? OS arguments over Thanksgiving dinner sounds like kind of a good time.

Greedy fucks are never going to lower a price. They must extract all available profit or they have failed.

Goddamned right, our government threw its own citizens under the bus so pharmaceutical companies could make another billion. Then imprisoned the people who got addicted.

I like a nice drip coffee but a well made Americano is definitely a tastier drink.

But yeah to each their own coffee and tea are like sex everyone has their own preferred style and it’s so subjective that we can all be right.

I love seeing little clones parroting the same anti-gun BS they’ve been spooned for the last 3 decades like fascists aren’t seizing power right now.

Ah shit it’s so simple to relocate. Just sell everything you own, cut ties with everyone you know, and move to a country that just offers citizenship to anyone that asks.

I don’t know why everyone hasn’t done that already.

Because .world is biased and has their own agenda.

I appreciate you trying to find the silver lining but holy fuck that’s very late stage capitalism and grim on its own. “Just let your dementia-afflicted elders care for your children, they have pretty much the same cognitive function!”

Please don’t vandalize their JarCar it has my mom’s brain tissue in it.

Should’ve let WhistlinDiesel “test” it.

People will definitely fuck with autonomous cars though so you have to plan for it.

I’d be way more concerned about running into someone in a 'bando than out in the woods though.

Hiker in the woods is going to go the other way. A homebum in a bando? Who knows how they’ll react.

Desire is the root of all suffering, suffering can cease when attachment to desire is extinguished.

I just say “no thanks!” and walk by. Our interaction is done once I’ve paid for my stuff. Want to check my receipt? Too bad, I get it on my phone and I’m not showing you my phone.

Yes, this post is referencing the US but if you think that’s the only place sex ed is non-existent you’re very mistaken.

“The thing with the terrorists is you have to take out their families, when you get these terrorists, you have to take out their families. They care about their lives, don’t kid yourself, when they say they don’t care about their lives, you have to take out their families.”

What vulnerabilities are you referencing?

I don’t think most people really think a vacation home or single rental makes you a leech, but when your entire portfolio is single family 2-3 bedroom houses you’re kind of sucking the air out of the local market. I know in my city there are tons of “small landlords” with less than 30 houses, half of them don’t even live in the city but in ex-urbs an hour away. They don’t do anything for the neighborhoods and see their income stream as completely legitimate.
