Was just talking with a coworker about how with the rise of server-side rendering we’re finally technologically back to Web 1.0

😂

Read the meme, upvoted, then read the title. Yikes.

False vacuum decay.

Go big or go home.

Remove “bit” from #3

But that’s what I’m saying - From a practical perspective we’ve learned that it is essentially impossible to prosecute – let alone convict – a sitting president. They have de facto immunity, even if it’s not technically de jure.

“One” for me as well. No need to be so informal just because it’s all in my head.

Didn’t the Supreme Court last year basically decide that the President can do anything without restriction if it’s to execute his duties? Until someone does something about that I don’t understand the purpose of articles like this other than to be rage bait.

I’d be willing to bet that there’s a direct relationship between not just the size of an online community and its overall “civility” level, but also its age. I’ve seen threads in chat rooms of 8 normally good-natured folks get Godwin’d just because they continued on for long enough that one topic turned heated. With Lemmy we’re seeing a natural increase in both.

I joined about 3 years ago and there was much, much less content and conversation, which definitely made me try to be more polite as possible to the few who posted (if only because it’d be the same folks over and over again and I didn’t want to discourage them from participating). Now that’s less of a concern, so while I still try to be mindful of my posts and comments, it’s to much less of a degree than before.

Why? You ask? Racism (and really just in-group mentality) is at least a part of it:

President Lyndon B. Johnson once said, “If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”

😂 Ok so the “regularly” in my post is doing a bit of lifting. Not too much tho (anchovy is the only other one you could possibly consider frequently used, unless you have a particularly bizarre vocabulary).

“Bizarre” is the only word from the Basque language that is regularly used in the English language

(Can’t wait to be proven wrong in 5… 4… 3…)

Word. Also it’s not even remotely true, as history, anthropology and archaeology have all shown us.

From that perspective she shouldn’t be having sex either since it’s widely understood now that there are often multiple fertilized egg cells floating around, and once the “winner” implants into the uterine lining the others will be flushed out anyway.

“People did different things at different times and places depending on their circumstances” is not exactly news, even in academic circles where head-in-the-sand disorder is all to real. Davids Graeber and Wengrove covered it to much popular acclaim in The Dawn of Everything, and the anthro/archaeology was going on for decades prior.

Believe it or not that initial wave of consolidation brought prices down. A license of SGI Power Animator cost over $30k in the 90s. softImage was not far behind. 3ds Max basically took the fight out of them, at which point Autodesk started going on a buying spree.

Trolling.

Counterpoint: one piece of slimy okra from someone who didn’t know how to cook it will turn you off to it forever (in my case at least)

6 could be a screen cap of me in any weekday zoom meeting. A weekend zoom would look like 9, but the box is on fire.

The two things I always tell my type-A kids:

1. There is no “on time” or “on schedule”, and
2. You can’t min/max your way through life

Both are great ways to stress/burn yourself out.
