I’ve had some problems with mounting disks in my user home folder. I can’t recall the details, but it did cause me a headache at some point.

I don’t know, but I wonder the same. I’m in the US and work for a guy that has tens of millions of dollars. He still spends all day in the office 6 days a week. To be fair, I don’t think he does it for the money, exactly, but I can’t understand why he keeps working at all.

Literally anything that anyone can ever imagine, is not all equally probable.

Beer, or if I don’t want beer then I order a tequila tonic. It’s easy for the bartender and it’s like a light margarita.

I really like this one.

That’s cool. I went in 2017.

We aren’t in such a nice timeline.

In Thai, the number ‘5’ is pronounced like “haa”, so Thai people write 555 to signify laughter, similar to ‘lol’.

I quit smoking when Marlboros went over $2/pack lol. Airports had these awful rooms where all the smokers would cram in and hotbox. Other countries are still like it used to be here in the US. Japan comes to mind as one such bad example. If you ask for a non-smoking table in a restaurant, they just sit you at any random table and put a little “no smoking” sign on it!

The FBI is never going to save you from rightwing violence.

Batteries for longer shelf life supposedly. Paintbrushes with paint on them that they were gonna use again? Idk

We all hope it doesn’t come to that, but please arm yourselves and train with your weapons. Get a cheap AR in 5.56/.223, and a pistol in 9mm. These are very common calibers. At least as important as that, make sure you know some people you can trust in your community. Do it now while you can. Guns and ammo will get more expensive as we get closer to the election.

Batteries. Paintbrushes.

Not everyone needs to fight cops in the streets (respect and support to those that do!). There are other ways to fight as well: organizing strikes, sabotage, [redacted]. I think the main problem is that the fascism pot has been simmering for so long, that people are mostly used to it, and can no longer really imagine the alternative. We’re so isolated from each other, and desperate to survive that too many of us will “keep calm and carry on” as long as it isn’t our necks on the chopping block.

I guess, but this just kind of redefines how most people think of egoism/selfishness/altruism etc. Where does it lead? If making people happy is selfish, and making people happy is ‘good’, does that mean any selfish act is ‘good’? Does it really take away from ‘good’ acts if the performer derives happiness from them?

Boiling the oceans to make scamcoins and deepfake porn.

I take the same precautions crossing a Chinese border as I do crossing a US one.

Please take a deep breath and realize how absolutely pathetic it looks when you can’t accept that supporting genocide is immoral, or that Biden’s appearance can be explained by him having a cold. No “tanky” on Lemmy gives a single fuck who you do or don’t vote for. You’re frustrated with the wrong people.

TIL that CNN and the NYT are the “online left”.

Aaaannndd… It is also a kind of subsidy to US agribiz.
