One of the main reasons the Pope is anti-drag is that he thinks playing fancy dress up times should be reserved for only high members of the Vatican.

They were just drunk with promises from Washington to be able to get more booze.

I’d bet that if a literal socialist ran for office as a Republican, many Republican voters would be on board.

The perfect country song

It means I’ve bumped into a bunch of people that are pro non-consential AI porn, many that are even pro AI csam.

The AI porn advocating brigade is large on lemmy in my experience.

Really? I’m seeing a lot of <<headline about Trump>> with comments of “YEAH BUT BIDEN!”.

The textbook intro examples of the law of supply and demand aren’t even true in practice.

They’re all like “prices on ice cream will rise when it’s hotter out so there is more demand for it!” and I have never found that to be true at fucking all.

But what’s the plan here, which path leads to a different world?

Do you really think someone’s going to have the answer to a question like that from a bear vs man meme lemmy thread?

One of the things I find so irritating about social media is that people pretend like we can use it to solve all of the world’s issues when in obvious reality if you think about it for a moment it’s just a time wasting spot for people to go chatter about things (and apparently get big angry a lot of the time).

Social media is a snake eating its own tail, or perhaps more accurately, a thing that disappears up its own butthole.

It’s similar to how Hollywood perceives itself at awards shows as being the center of the universe. Changing the world into a better one isn’t making a movie that blows peoples’ minds, having a music festival, and it (to an even lesser extent) isn’t writing up a catchy Lemmy / Mastodon / Facebook / Xitter / Blog post.

These things can be inspiring. Creativity is fun, and media can feel cathartic to the audience…but ultimately media in and of itself tends to change very little.

I’m going rock so I can charge my phone.

Watching some modern shows is like reading these books from first page to last page instead of following the instructions. The only difference is that every ending in the book becomes a dream sequence in the show.

My company did a big old round of AI layoffs and now it’s barely functional at all because it got rid of a bunch of people actually doing things and kept all of the loud idiots.

I just want their MX keys and MX mouse to fucking switch computers together when you press the button on the keyboard. I don’t know why that’s so much to ask but apparently it is.

90% of what is moving through the economy is corpo money anyway.

Yes, this is the system we’re in by design. The idea is that the private sector can get cheap loans and other handouts (government contracts, private-public partnerships, etc) for organizing the economy and will pass some of that money onto us commoners in the form of wages. It was designed like this because the politicians and their donors believe that it is more productive to organize the economy this way.

Also:

Presenter: Can we hold all questions to the end, please? Thank you!

The end obviously never arrives.

Yeah saying they have to list and recommend things they disagree with reeks highly of “freeze peach” principles as understood by right-wing-philosopher-clowns.

Just bounce; especially if everyone was drinking.

Ah gotcha, every apartment I’ve ever been in and my condo up until I installed these shades had crappy, plastic Venetian blinds that were basically pointless for blocking light…so I agree 100%.
