Uh oh.

They already took out the option to watch playlists together like six months ago.

Don’t forget Pi-hole! It’s been the default install method since basically the beginning.

By the way, your meme is funny and dead-on.

AMD doesn’t care about AI enthusiasts.

The time period this is from he wasn’t a Nazi.

I mean, this was during the period that he was a halfway decent person.

This is two years before his mother died, which is when it spun out of control for him. He never recovered and never had anyone else looking out for him the way she did. Losing his ma broke something in him.

He literally said “George Bush doesn’t care about black people” and he was right to do so in that moment.

“Heckuva job, Brownie” Bush said as people died and Brown was absolutely fucking up the Hurricane Katrina response.

I’m personally entirely fine with memeing him from this period of time, but that’s just me.

Bump. This is what I do too. So much easier to just avoid it entirely.

I am tired of the world pretending only the people who invest money are “invested” in a workplace.

Your example here is what I am speaking of.

We invest our lives in a workplace, with the hope that our labor will make the workplace succeed in the marketplace. It is an investment: of our time, of our effort, and thought.

When the business fails or decides we aren’t worth it, they are ignoring the investment we made in learning how the business works and doing our best work.

We are turned to the streets, nevermind the effort and investment we went through. No, because we didn’t bring money to the table none of that counts somehow even though we did all the real labor that make the business function. Labor the “invested” couldn’t do on their own, no matter how much money they had.

Well for one the account this was sent from is on a Swedish-language Lemmy instance, so it’s already a barrier to message the admins there that this is a spam user.

And then there’s Lemmy instances like realbitcoin.cash where the users are obviously all spam/scam users. Reporting it to the admin probably wouldn’t do much since the admin is probably who made all the accounts.

Awkward Nerd Girls Want In Your DMs! They’re not in your area, just online!

I almost made this same post and then decided I didn’t care enough. This was my take on the same;

I’m just glad these germy monstrosities are mostly gone.

I mean… this piece is literally Roman and made in Italy and they found it in Nero’s palace. The technique didn’t stay in Egypt.

So this specific piece of Egyptian Blue is Roman.

I guess that depends on how you read it. It doesn’t read to me like it’s giving credit to Rome, but rather just expressing how widely used bright colors were during Rome’s imperial era. Romans used Egyptian Blue extensively, whether or not they invented it, which is how the tagline reads to me personally.

The discovery of this ancient synthetic pigment highlights the impressive artistry of Rome’s imperial era.

Emphasis mine. That’s the part that reads to me like it isn’t claiming credit for Egyptian Blue as much as it is crediting the specific Roman era with wide use of Egyptian Blue in it’s, in the author’s words, impressive artistry.

Tomato Tomahto.

I feel that while this is true, such statements do a significant amount of whitewashing of the women who support people like Trump, which especially when it comes to white women is not an insignificant number.

Protesters were heard shouting “shame on you” right before DeLemus was seen pointing at protesters screaming “Shame on you, shame on all of you. Shame on you, killing babies.” It then escalated to her pointing at the crowd, repeatedly screaming “You’re a murderer!”

DeLemus also shouted, “I murdered my own baby!” referring to an abortion she had decades ago and has publicly declared her regret about in the past. In 2012, DeLemus recounted an abortion she had when a bill was up for discussion on instating a 24-hour waiting period, AP reported.

Many anti-choice women are convinced that their need for abortion is unique — not like those “other” women — even though they have abortions for the same sorts of reasons. Anti-choice women often expect special treatment from clinic staff. Some demand an abortion immediately, wanting to skip important preliminaries such as taking a history or waiting for blood test results. Frequently, anti-abortion women will refuse counseling. Some women insist on sneaking in the back door and hiding in a room away from other patients. Others refuse to sit in the waiting room with women they call “sluts” and “trash.” Or if they do, they get angry when other patients in the waiting room talk or laugh, because it proves to them that women get abortions casually, for “convenience”.

A few behave in a very hostile manner, such as calling clinic staff “murderers.” Years ago, a clinic counselor in British Columbia told me that one of her patients went into the procedure room apparently fine with her decision to have an abortion. During the abortion, at a stage when it was too late to stop the procedure, the woman started screaming “You murderers!” and other invectives at everyone in the room.

While it’s very true that women’s voting and leadership tends to lead to more peaceful outcomes, there’s still sadly a significant number of women who seem almost giddy at being part of the problem, like Ginni Thomas, for example.

This is not to mean that men aren’t still worse, they are. Just sometimes there’s attempts to treat women as all innocent victims of the controlling fascist right, and while for many that is indeed true, there’s many others where, well, I just don’t know if they’re actually a victim or a willing participant.

Calling this mildly infuriating is… well… putting it mildly.

If you want to bitch about the mods the community for it is thataway.

I do think it’s funny people think arguing with and jerking around the mods on the community they moderate is gonna do anything other than frustrate those mods more to the point they ban you.

How are you still “friends” with this person?

The fact that 8 relatively short sentences are considered a “huge rant” speaks ill to your level of literacy. But you do you.

Oh yeah, there’s some stuff that’s just too far and too awful to be able to ignore. I’ve never really been able to enjoy any Louis CK or Dave Chappelle comedy for a long time now, for example. CK being a sex pest and Chappelle being an outright asshole to the trans community is just too much to swallow to even bother with em.

I just accept that all humans are flawed and don’t allow myself to worship artists in any capacity. They’re no better or worse than the rest of us, and most of them are educated in music, not politics, theory, economics, etc.

If you go in expecting them to suck, it’s a lot less shitty to find out they suck.

Isn’t Killer Mike one of those “black capitalism can save us” type guys anyway? Because that kind of tracks with him.

Love his music, not so much a big fan of him personally or his politics.

Honestly at this point that’s how I feel about most artists in general.
