I hope he never has another moment of peace in his entire life until Flock is abolished. Even then…

Doorless showers are great for the elderly, disabled, orgies, you name it- WHEN DONE RIGHT. This is far from correct. The shower spray should be spraying away from the entry, not right fucking at it. It’s puzzling because it looks like the control valve is on the near side so they routed the head all the way around to be in the wrong place? Even then, this is kind of a small space for a doorless. Also, one of those stupid corner shelves and a safety handle way the fuck in the corner. Buy a shower rod and floor length curtain to hang inside the glass wall. It’ll be real fancy.

35% to the lawyers

15% to court, state, lawyer administrative costs

40% to Governor’s cousin’s LLC established since last Tuesday specializing in child online safety issues according to their website which goes on to read “would you like me to create promotional flyers and other materials in addition to the website”?

15% nobody can trace where it went - but did you know BOYS are playing GIRL sports?!

25% to a program that passively encourages risky online behavior

20% to pro-business tax breaks

That’s right taxpayer, you’re gonna need to chip in for the extra 50%.

“up to” over 10 years, which means they’ll pay 1.8B this year, a massive 3% of annual income, for now and find a way to get out of this before the decade is up

Meanwhile, at Bethesda, “We’re gonna release a Skyrim patch that’s disappointing for console players and a pointless nuisance for pc players! TES6 is never coming out! Our best game is maintained by the community and nearly everyone agrees it’s better that way! mwah hahahahahah!!!”

Witcher 3 is on sale on GOG right now. The same GOG that just released one click installation of Tamriel Rebuilt and Openmw for Morrowind.

I agree. Our starting position is all flock cameras should be taken down and then shoved up Garrett Langley’s ass. Every single one of them.

Now let us come to the table and find a compromise.

We need politicians with actionable plans worth voting for

Reading is hard, yo

Yes, biding time and running a pincher strategy of sending out some people to kiss the ring and sending significantly more to the watch groups, industry partners, and courts. Though we’ve also lost as many people to foreign institutions in the last two years as in the previous twenty.

The GOP courted the anti-intellectual vote because their ideology no longer had popular support. It was a deal with the devil and now the devil has come to collect. It’s unlikely they can wind back that deal. The only hope is that more voters wake up and start to understand the impacts of putting morons in charge.

Oceania will not tolerate Eurasia giving technology to Eastasia.

Great context. Though you should probably change all that talk of the US funding research to the past tense, or the in-freefall-collapse-as-budgets-are-slashed-and-political-goons-replace-science-advisors tense, which is rarely used but the current situation fits.

Yes, though I wouldn’t call this one unimportant. There is a real problem on the left with trying to make exhaustive lists when saying “everyone” (or the appropriate variation) would do a much, much better job in a few ways. Most list makers at least have the sense to end with “and everyone else” or “everyone treated unfairly” or whatever, but occasionally that part gets left off and it just feels like a huge fuck you to everyone not included.

This is 100% the wrongminded mentality we are talking about. We need systemic change to how we vote. We need politicians with actionable plans worth voting for. We need people who understand how voting ACTUALLY works in this country. But nah, man, just fucking vote! That’s the solution!!1!

I tried Bluesky. I noticed two overwhelming trends that led to my hasty departure:

Wishful thinking left-wing politics. Encouraging people to pretend like how things ought to be is how things are, and to act accordingly. This is lazy and disastrous thinking, both because it overlooks the real systemic change that needs to happen to get to where you want to be. Though, in fairness, there is quite a bit of this on Lemmy too.

Extremely popular poster who spent their entire careers making the Trump presidency a certainly trying to back pedal on Trump specifically. No mention of their awful ideas they still keep and spread that lead to such an outcome. Lots of thumbs up and people saying “see, they get it” while also not connecting the dots, as if Project 2025 fell from the sky and wasn’t the product of decades of effort.

It’s an idiot convention.

That’s a bit like yelling at firefighters for wasting time connecting their hoses when they should be putting the fire out.

The Chinese probably gave them normal gifts, pins, and phones because why waste money on tech when top secret files are stored in the bathroom and POTUS tweets sensitive information?
