I think billionaires shouldn’t exist because we should have appropriate levels of taxation and a “maximum wage” law.

You [Lemmy] think billionaires shouldn’t exist and are setting up guillotines.

We are not the same.

I drove fast through what I thought was just a puddle. Splashed a bunch of water up under my car, and my dashboard looked like that for a week lol.

Why would that be relevant or allowed in a politics community? Fuckin’ lemmy.world, I tell you what.

Because rule 1 there is "Post only links to articles? Geesh. It’s not like that’s been a rule for 2+ years and the community a place to discuss actual articles.

That’s not wrong, but in this case, PlatformIO isn’t showing these ads, bit [dot] ly is. AFAIK, only bitly gets the ad money.

It’s the VSCode IDE that does it, it seems.

Ugh…

Paper Dolls in English

Lol, of course. I need to do a re-watch.

I’ve heard that before but cannot place it. What is that from?

For best results, it depends on the context.

For example, when I’m dealing with people who cannot (or refuse) to do the simplest of tasks, I’ve found myself muttering “ugh, just read the instructions I wrote you troglodyte”.

Because if neither “side” is going to stand by democracy, why are we even bothering with the charade?

It’s shitty, but, like you said, I get it. He’s also not wrong.

I would take any and everything you see in YPTB with the largest grains of salt. Most of the posts there are from frequent flyers apparently unaware and unable to see that they are the problem. The comments to those are from similar frequent flyers. Basically every post there is framed to make OP entirely the victim and often are turned into some kind of conspiracy-laden narrative about the mod(s) involved. Frankly, YPTB and similar communities are beyond redemption, IMO.

I will admit I do not know (nor particularly care to know) the specifics of this case, but some of the communities Jordan mods are targets for some of the worst people in this place, and he’s only human. So don’t crucify me if there’s some egregious offense I’m ignorant of and don’t take this statement as a direct defense of that. I’m merely pointing out that the guy takes a LOT of abuse from some real, uh, how do I put this charitably…“characters”.

Lemmy, of late, has lost many of its more rational voices, so please keep that in mind and exercise caution when asking the inmates what they think about the rules of the asylum.

Just gonna have to swipe right and find out.

Nice, and yeah, definitely. Until my senior year English class, the only books were were allowed to use for any reading assignment were Shakespeare or Newberry award books.

Definitely different experiences, but yeah, agree. Generally, I only like to listen to the audiobook after I’ve read it (unless there’s no other option). It’s difficult for me to not miss important plot points when I’m listening to it, but that’s probably just my ADHD.

If you do, post it!

SNACO?

He could just be on vacation? Someone just pointed out earlier today he hasn’t posted in 2 weeks.

No clue, but it very easily could have come from the one I grew up in.

The_Picard_Maneuver is MIA, so I dove into my ~2014 era meme folder and am posting some golden oldies

Lol, well, maybe if Eeyore would can it once in a while and just let people enjoy things…

The genre doesn’t exist, but it should: “Bedtime Stories: Narrated by Morgan Freeman and Stepehn Fry”.
