The United States is a corporation.
  • I know, I was going to use ~10 years, but used a conservative number so I could source it undeniably if pressed.

  • The United States is a corporation.
  • If we had an unlimited timeline I'd buy that, the problem is climate change will make all but struggle inevitable in ~75 years at the rate we're destroying it.

    Famine, water wars, and billions of climate migrants will destroy any hope of an egalitarian revolution...

  • Average systemd debate
  • is it overengineering or just a push back against "make each program do one thing well," and saying yeah but I have n things to do and I only need them done, well or not I just need them done and don't want to dig through 20 files to do it...

  • Good effort
  • “can you draw a room with absolutely no elephants in it? not a picture not in the background, none, no elephants at all. seriously, no elephants anywhere in the room. Just a room any at all, with no elephants even hinted at.”

    thought about this prompt again, thought I'd see how it was doing now, so this is the seven month update. It's learning...

  • Miss me with that low bitrate
  • love sonarr, radarr however never quiet worked for me. It doesn't like my network drive and then when I got around that it had this bad habit of downloading movies it already knew I had again...

  • Costs Less? When That Happened?
  • ghost?

    nm I looked it up myself.

    Why aren't more people on ghost? It's a stupid name for what it does, but the $9 a month and keeping the rest is a great deal if you have more than a handful of subscribers.

  • ADHD Rule
  • You wanna know something cool though? If I was alcoholic instead of depressed, I could get help for free.

    Okay? It's objectively a good thing for alcoholics to get help. Getting equal care for other issues is the goal.

    Don't be a crab in the bucket.

  • It's strange that we are shocked when we see universally popular ideas like this get pushed forward after years of political abuse
  • Shows and movies should not be subscription

    In addition to the other complaint about internet services, which I agree with. This also makes little sense. Cable was essentially a subscription service to media. Media should not be locked to a service, it should be freely available to buy yourself or stream providers to license for their services and compete for price. There shouldn't be media silos where content producers also act as sole distributors.

  • Olympic Boxer Imane Khelif Is Not a Trans Athlete
  • She's not even abnormally good, she is good, but not impossibly dominant like some like Phelps.

  • [Karl Jobst] Monster Hunter Has A Cheating Problem
  • Yeah I've unsubscribed, his beef with Billy Mitchel and shift to a more cheater focus has just become too repetitive. I liked his enthusiasm for describing people achieve records, but I don't really care to deep dive cheaters really. They suck and the sooner we scratch them from the record and move on the better. They don't deserve attention.

  • A Timelapse of Cats "helping" me assemble a chair
  • Cute video, but I've got bad news about the quality of that chair...

    Mine lasted less than a year. One of those one piece arm rest\supports got a crack and that ruined the stability.

  • 70%
  • Unless the democrats have an actual plan, they can actually get through congress, to unwind the legal framework for fascism that the republicans have built it won't matter in the long run anyway...

    Like seriously we're in the end game now, without an actual plan to stop it the next republican president will be our last.

  • 70%
  • ...how fuck did you get "voting bad actually" from that comment?

    Not all nonvoters who did vote would vote for Biden, that's a simple statement of fact. The meme assumes they all would.

  • Looks like something straight from Warhammer 40K
  • IDK their religion allows straight up substitution magic, they turn wine and crackers into pieces of their dead god. Why can't thorns and pieces of wood turn into the implements that killed him?

  • Rule
  • Yes they're used, but they're not THE ONLY method of control as it was in this disaster of a sub.

  • Women Should Just Be Honest
  • It is a clear signal, it says very clearly and in no uncertain terms they don't want to talk to you.

    Your need for "closure" or whatever doesn't matter.

  • rule
  • If you think that trump is capable of that then you admit the American system is so flawed that a diaper wearing dementia ridden criminal is all it will take to bring it down. That Pax Americana is on the death bed and electing Biden is just kicking the can down the road.

    Without the looming existential threat of the climate apocalypse and the inevitability of children born today fighting in the water wars, Biden might be fine, but we need action now and anything else isn't just lesser of two evils, it's complete failure in our lifetimes...

  • ”Both options are cliffs!”

    But they are though.

    The cliff drivers aren't getting off the bus, even if we vote them down this time, if we don't change the system that allows them equal opportunity to drive us off a cliff they will eventually force it off the cliff.

    Biden has long supported the system that allows it, prides himself on being able to find a middle ground with them, and though he talks about not going over the cliff has no long term plan for dealing with those that do, because again he believes in the system that allows them to want to drive off the cliff.

    I believe I've stretched this metaphor about as far as it will go, but I'm going to try stretching it further.

    There are actually two cliffs, fascism and climate change, even if we pull the bus away from one cliff we've still got the other in front of us and basically no one is even pretending to deal with that.

    And to leave the broken bus scenario, I'm just going to say if you believe that a trump win will destroy American democracy, that we can't defeat his corrupt, senile version of fascism then the next republican demagogue will have no problems.

  • you don't need consumerism or mass media to be happy
  • Everything by Becky Chambers is pretty uplifting. She's probably my favorite author right now.

  • you don't need consumerism or mass media to be happy
  • Busy maybe, but will the be entertained.

    I read Moby Dick once and it was not enjoyable in the least. It is boring as fuck. Maybe it's imitating through prose the long monotonous stretches between whale sightings, but that's not an engaging read.
