Yeah they used to call it the twitter outrage effect or something similar. The people who respond quickest are usually able to do so because they are the least active in offline society. But hey it makes me enjoy the downvotes, because like you I’ve seen what makes those same folks cheer. These same people will tell you “blue no matter who” is nothing like being a “MAGA cultist” despite it having the literal same basis that the “others” are so dangerous we can forego any and all complaints and should stay silenced to win “or else.”
Just a heads up most legal versions lack almost all the pop music the show originally had. There is said to be some unofficial sources that still have all the music.
I feel like I keep hearing the future is stake because we can not let Trump be president, like he literally was our president for four years. This time is different because reasons? And never in any of this is dumping Biden considered sane, because why? So a en egoist wants to run despite being wild unpopular, literally stans for war crimes against a President who said (and he delivered) that we would not get into another war, “ Cmon man” as you Biden jokes say
Bro it’s lemmy, they try really hard to bury their head in the sand, it why I know a Biden loss is guaranteed, they forgot you cant just say fuck Trump, you need someone else to vote for, and no one is voting Biden.
Yeah Lemmy is just really left and uninformed, mask prohibitions have existed in almost every state way before covid (talking 17-1800s) for exactly this reason. And frankly, even in NYC, outside of say health settings, the only people I see wearing masks are those who are actively trying to not be identified, and sometimes it nothing like yourself but more than likely theres a reason they don’t want to be identified and its rarely good.
Like I feel like I am taking crazy pills when I see such downvote ratio on something so verifiably factual and honest.
ETA I’m being downvoted now and getting complaints about sources despite there being 4 articles and advising a simple google, like just jump to snopes if you refuse to read and just go see the checkmark
Most of them do not work, this 8 year old NYT article claims that 120 out of 3250 signals in NY work a decrease from their census in 2004 and mentions how a different agency found 1 working button across various cities. The only ones that kind of work in my experience are in New Jersey, where if you do not press the button, the intersection will never clear you to walk. The signals and everything work the same, just you will never get walk at the intersection (even when you normally would have) without pressing the button.
Every one of the last 25 years has been the year of Linux, the Steam Deck is definitely moving the needle but not enough to actually overtake anything, at least at the moment.
It is actually worse than that, all phones have an FM tuner built-in to receive emergency alerts from various nations. At one point, I forget who (possibly Sinclair?, iirc it was a large American broadcast company), attempted to pass legislation in the US to force the OEMs to allow access to the chips which somehow failed. I believe most androids that are rooted are able to access the FM radio irregardless, but I am unfamiliar of the minutia involved. I’d estimate 99% of iPhones in use have an FM radio chip, I believe only Sprint (a defunct American carrier) ever shipped with FM radio available.
The White House has approved nearly $144 billion in federal loan forgiveness for about 4 million borrowers in total, according to the administration....
My issue is that these are years overdue, how does this man have a press conference every month about student loans, and every time its loans that would have been cancelled without him or should have been cancelled years ago. Which begs the next question, is it a win that it took three years in office to fix this? And next month when a new student loan press release comes out, what will be different?
Could you be so kind as to provide more information, especially concerning that 85% reduction in payments. The white house when introducing the new plan estimated a top reduction of 83% in payments if you managed to make the stars align for the maximum benefit. I am interested on how its going for an average person because people I know with loans have only had complaints and no reductions or relief.
Could you provide sources for points 2 and 3? The Trump admin actually tried to simplify all the programs into just two, standard and IBR (income based repayment like the SAVE plan) and allowed for processing of cancellations. That administration also managed to use their executive power to eliminate student loan debt for disabled veterans source. Since then Biden has managed to ignore legal advice and precedent to throw up his hands and say he can’t do anything for student loans. The same individual says he will stop Israel by never stopping them, it’s tiring to hear people still have any faith in his words when is whole history is talking out both sides of his mouth. He was cancelled from running for president in 1988 for being a liar NYT Video and yet if I say he is lying, everyone jumps down my throat.
Ok I’ve seen sources for the bad. Do you have sources for good that actually involve his intervention? I refer to the fact that the loan debt cancellations so far would have happened under any other administration. I ask what actual progress has the DEA undertaken if we are still having same discussion after four years. I refer to the “American Rescue Plan” being a literal extension of the “CARES Act” (So again not his plan). Please tell me what he has done that would not have been accomplished by a plank of wood?
Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday called on the federal government to move “as quickly as possible” to change the way it officially classifies marijuana, saying that “nobody should have to go to jail for smoking weed.”...
So lies and deception? I don’t know who is left to deceive when this sounds like the position the WH had two decades ago (when Biden was in Harris’s exact role). Since then the only changes have been brought about by State’s thumbing their nose at the Federal Government. I can honestly say the argument for “State’s Rights” hold more promise for marijuana legalization than Harris’s words.
There has been numerous attempts over the years by unknown actors to essentially crack TOR by controlling nodes. There have been a few theories about who, but it has been a sustained effort over a period of years that has at times controlled up to an entire quarter of the Tor network, leading many to believe state actors and/or law enforcement are behind these man-in-the-middle attacks.
Bruh Israel is already heavily Russian, it has become over run since the iron curtain fell with former soviet bloc members who fled to get a western passport at the first opportunity. Unsurprisingly many of their children are incredible racists, because their bloodline literally saved them from Russian destitution. Like if they actually thought Russia was worth something they wouldn’t even be in Israel.
Yeah feels like every weekend he has promised to make Israel cease-fire by Monday since “Genociding with Biden” became a meme and somehow hes never been called out on that huge glaring lie, in fact I am often told to quiet if I bring it up.

The spot price for gold at the moment today 2024/3/4 is about $66 USD a gram. If anybody reading this is doing or has been doing drugs, remember if you are paying around 65 a gram (Average Cocaine and Heroin pricing) you are essentially throwing gold in the trash with every hit. I ask that those who think current drug policy is effective think of this fact, drugs are literally worth their weight in gold despite being illegal.
Yeah there seems to be a large presence of people saying they are furious at the status quo but we shouldn’t deviate from it at any cost because reasons. If you suggest change or action you must be a propagandist terrorist shill meant to destabilize and cause chaos. Like just be honest and say you are happy with the existing state of affairs and want to keep everything the same, cause lashing out at every bit of change sounds similar while coming off as dishonest.
Oh that makes sense, there was a different comment/post a while back complaining about Mazda “retconning” Miata’s into MX-5s (American Market/Presumably to drop the Miata name) that brought this to mind.
Even though different Linux distros are often fairly close in terms of real-life performance and all of them have a clear advantage over Windows in many use cases, we can’t reject the fact that Arch Linux has undoubtedly won the competition.

I think the videomaker may be failing to account for swap space. The latest Fedora releases use zram (swap that lives in memory instead of hard disk) by default, while the rest do not. Windows in particular does not take 72G and tends to be aggressive in swap allocation. The fact that he presents this data as “free space available” adds confusions while seemingly burying the simplest answer.
Taylor has long had criticism for her jet use, the meme explosion is just about the media wanting to use her as hype prop while at the same time her team sued to shutdown the flight tracker kid. Posts that seem obsessed with possible damage to Taylor’s reputation sound like it is coming from a PR firm. Does Op genuinely believe that someone sees a Jet Meme and think differently of Taylor? Is Op against Taylor being the poster child for Aviation reform? I do not understand why an uninterested third party feels the need to prevent Taylor from suffering consequences of her actions merely because other heads should roll first.
ETA: I had to check if OP was a PR FIRM, check OP’s own response to Taylor Jet Memes: lemmy.cafe/comment/4651417
I viewed it as an answer to my question “Does Op genuinely believe that someone sees a Jet Meme and think differently of Taylor?”, I only saw the post because I checked if it was PR firm.
You know Taylor tried to silence the Jet Tracker Kid last week, maybe she’s try to silence Lemmy Memes now? Feels like last few days there has been a big uptick in “oh no lets not point to Taylor because there are other people to point to who are worse people” posts in response to memes.
I am not sure of the enforcement costs but I found this cbc story from a few months back quite telling. They found car lots filled with cars that still had their Canadian paperwork in the glovebox, and the authorities in Ghana claiming their Canadian counterparts ignored requests to stem this export/import of these types of cars into Ghana for their associated criminality.
