I kinda want this to be a thing, like a SpongeBob special doing their own weird version of the American Civil War.

Quality Lemmy content

JargonWagon ,

The gentlemen amongst the homes are always tough.
If thou arriveth speaking in insults, we shall verily receive gossip from your allies.
I only knoweth to be an honest man.
Do not quoth mine words, for I haven't spaketh.

Never used fark, though it seems I would have got right in. Sad to think of the good times I probably missed out on.

JargonWagon ,

I believe cats and/or dogs can also smell "sick" as you've described. I remember reading about a hospital that had either a dog or a cat who would cuddle up with people the night before they passed away of their sickness or something.

JargonWagon ,

I think part of that larger discussion needs to include the array of reasons that people become homeless in the first place, cause it's not just that they lack motivation like your comment suggests. There's mental health reasons, financial reasons, drug addiction, alcoholism, etc. And once you become homeless, it can be difficult to get out of - jobs require that you have reliable transportation, and an address for mailing stuff to you, that you look presentable, and that you don't smell.

A fair amount of homeless people have smartphones nowadays, so I think a system in place where temporary residence can be set up, a bank account set up, access to therapy, and priority access to remote jobs can take place will be a huge step forward in reducing the homeless population. That and also capping interest rates and market values for houses/condos/apartments so that they're actually affordable to the common person.

JargonWagon ,

What about Nappy Roots?

JargonWagon ,

Or polar bear!

JargonWagon ,

I prefer that they continue to wing it, otherwise we wouldn't have been blessed with such entertainment!

JargonWagon ,

The question doesn't specify which forest, so it could be that you're in their territory and not the other way around.

JargonWagon ,

The couple of times I had it, it sounded like a car crash right outside my window.

JargonWagon , (edited )

That's almost exactly the same angle as the one OP posted lol

JargonWagon , (edited )

Didn't say the photo was the same, only said the angle is almost identical, which it is.

JargonWagon ,

Yeah I figured as much

JargonWagon ,

45° is a huge exaggeration. Yes, slightly higher up and slightly to the left, an angle that's almost identical to the one OP posted, as I've been saying.

JargonWagon ,

Give me a Linux solution not backed by billion dollar corporations looking to consume as much data on you as possible, and I'll listen lol

JargonWagon ,

The alternatives are:

  • Windows based solution: will be super bloated, locked down preventing customizability, and will try to obtain as much data on you as possible to sell to advertisers, I'm sure among other reasons others here will gladly point out.
  • MacOS based solution: Even more locked down than a Windows based solution, hardware may even be more proprietary so good luck swapping out components yourself to fix it, and will try to obtain as much data on you as possible to sell to advertisers.
  • iOS: same reasons as MacOS, with the exception of it not being as locked down.
  • Android based solution: is controlled by Google and therefore will try to obtain as much data on you as possible to sell to advertisers.

Alternatives to Linux like other Unix based systems, FreeBSD, etc. I don't know enough about, so whether or not it would be better on this kind of a product I don't know.

JargonWagon ,

I like how this movie's fanbase is split on a group of people recommending the theatrical cut and another group recommending the Director's Cut. I haven't found another movie that has something similar.

JargonWagon ,

For me, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

Every subsequent watch, I add more to the commentary of "Is he crazy?" and "Is Nurse Ratched evil or just doing her job?"

JargonWagon ,

Imagine not being worthless

I feel ya. I tire of the politics here, and it can get extremely left leaning, like pro-communism/pro-socialism/pro-fascism and very anti-American to the point where it's a little sus. I get it, there's always been anti-America sentiment surrounding conversations and in media all my life, but it's a bit extreme here.

I go onto social media to turn my brain off, not do elaborate research on the past 500 years of colonialism so that I can make sure I'm accurately arguing my point cohesively on this one comment. At the very least, I'll engage with conversations about tech when I'm not turning my brain off, but I hate politics/debate. I want a DDR/Stepmania/Etterna community where we can discuss new themes released, new songs on various cabinets, etc.

JargonWagon ,

Subscribed to all three of those and I'm looking forward to finding some new fun communities to be a part of, thank you!

JargonWagon ,

Not seeing my reply show up, so doing it again in case the previous one got lost in the abyss: Subscribed to all 3 just now and I'm looking forward to enjoying some new communities! Thank you!

how can something be so courageous and yet so true ( slrpnk.net )

Edit: Jesus Christ, people. If you buy a $150 Thinkpad made by slave labor instead of a $1,200 MacBook made by slave labor, you're still supporting a capitalist economy based on slave labor. We all do. We have no choice. The number of smug liberals in the comments saying "well I buy a cheap used laptop" or "well I buy coffee...

JargonWagon ,

Same. I got mine as a handmedown from a sibling. Works great with Linux Mint!

Biden administration sidesteps Congress again for emergency arms sale to Israel

JargonWagon ,

Gore received 540+k more individual votes than Bush did, but he lost in the electoral vote.

JargonWagon ,

Isn't that the same guy who is also part of the yootoobz channel where there's an insanely rich guy who constantly blows his money on bakeries and baked goods, called "Mr. Yeast"?

JargonWagon ,

"Parks and Rec" and Rocket League. They set up an event at a park to allow two teams compete in RC car soccer. I would watch it.

JargonWagon ,

Or what if they're black? I've read so many stories about sensors not detecting people simply because they have darker skin.

JargonWagon ,

Well same difference! He played Kennedy once!
