That's nice, we can set it beside the "Thursday night massacre" of the DoJ that happened last week. Only slightly higher, so we get a nice two-level effect with a path going down the middle and HOLY FUCKING SHITBALLS WHY AREN'T THERE MILLIONS OF US RIOTING IN THE STREETS RIGHT NOW‽‽

Yes, but only on 2.4Ghz (despite that being the frequency the magnetron operates at, so it interferes with itself) and only with WEP encryption.

That's because cokes are consumables, so more ads might make you buy them more frequently.

Movin' on up the flagpole!

That's what you get for paying out previously-collected fees when people land on "free parking," failing to auction off property that the person who first landed on it didn't want, or using other house rules to try to make Monopoly "fair" and "fun."

If the first person who gets lucky enough to complete a property group doesn't quickly and ruthlessly grind his opponents down into bankruptcy and make them hate both the game and capitalism itself, you're doing it wrong.

Just to be clear, I did not botch a damn thing; I voted for Harris.

Everything else you said, assuming you mean "you" as in Americans generally rather than attacking me personally, I agree with.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

True! But also shutting out AOC is itself an example of said corporate bootlicking, so it's not so much of a "well, and" as it is an "including."

People focus on the Democrats instead of the Republicans because they still have hope the Democrats will actually do the right thing.

The Republicans have crossed the moral event horizon. They are irredeemably evil, complete monsters. Trying to influence them to change for the better is pointless, so that's why people don't bother to do it.

I don’t think he is or was a nazi. I think he made lots of dark fucked up jokes like many other major youtubers. For example: iDubbzz, Filthy Frank, and h3h3. I think he regrets it like many of his fans who laughed at those dark jokes. I laughed at lots of fucked up shit I find very distastful now. People grow up, people change.

Funny thing about that: it doesn't actually matter what he intended or if he self-identifies as a Nazi or not; the shit he did radicalized people into Nazis all the same.

I mean, they fucking named the phenomenon after him, so it's hardly as if he's a marginal example of it!

In the same way the "genocide joe" and "Democrats betrayed the working class" people weren't wrong but early November last year was very much not the right time to point it out, you aren't wrong but now is not a good time to trivialize it with humor.

Besides, you yourself called it an "unpopular opinion" and a "guilty thought," so you shouldn't really be surprised at somebody venting their frustrations at you for voicing it.

It was pretty easy, TBH (as I also pointed it out recently). It's right there on the knowyourmeme.com page.

Summary

NYC's congestion pricing program, launched Jan 5 after Biden administration approval, faces new threats from the Trump administration.

Governor Kathy Hochul vows to keep the toll scanners active, deeming Trump's effort and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy's order an attack on the city.

The MTA swiftly filed a legal complaint to uphold the $9 toll, citing reduced traffic and critical funding for mass transit.

Legal experts warn the Trump administration faces an uphill legal battle.

TL;DW: as fucking always, it's single-family zoning:

I think instead of making it impossible to build more affordable housing in safer places, and incentivizing people to rebuild in fire-prone areas, maybe the government could do the fucking opposite for once and make it easier to build in places that don't burn down once a decade! The state's response to these neighborhoods going up like kindling cannot only be to replace the kindling just as it was, just where it was, as quickly as possible, and at a taxpayer-funded discount. That is not bravery; that is not resilience; that is denial.

Climate change is only going to make these fires more frequent, and we have a glaringly obvious solution to make California safer in the face of them: we could rezone the city to allow more housing in areas that don't border the fire zone. But that is a solution that our cowardly politicians refuse to try, for fear of pissing off the homeowners who don't like apartment buildings!

I've been using Linux exclusively for over seven years now, including for gaming (believe it or not), but only now is the first time I've been in the mood to get mods for my TES games working.

Anyway, I searched how to do it and, as per usual when it comes to Linux, found a bunch of different instructions documents with a bunch of different approaches. Anybody have an opinionated recommendation for the one that's the most up-to-date/preferred by the community currently?
