I use “We’ll burn that bridge when we come to it” pretty frequently myself

Nepenthes does about the same thing but isn’t managed by a corp.

Dealer torches their own stock that they can’t sell, blames protestors, and gets to write off all those cars with insurance payouts instead of just sitting on them

The resources were never the point. The point is to make Ukraine refuse a “ceasefire deal” and then point at them and tell everyone they “don’t want peace”. It’s blatantly obvious.

Lex Luthor is downright benevolent compared to what we have in the real world

Because the only real law of human society is the Golden Rule.

i.e. He who holds the gold can make the rules.

From the party who brought you “Keep your politics out of my [X]” it’s incredible how much time and effort they put into forcing politics into every fucking thing. Can’t play a video game, can’t watch YouTube, can’t watch the actual TV, can’t listen to a podcast, can’t even walk my dog down the goddamn street in my own neighborhood without being slapped upside the head six times with Reich-wing bullshit.

This will be the third or fourth “once in a lifetime economic crisis” I’ve lived through in my lifetime and I’m barely 30.

Like gdog said, no, you don’t actually. Being homeless is illegal in a ton of places.

Not every song is going to be a winner. But generally speaking:

• Heart
• Led Zeppelin (this one is more 70’s than 80’s, but I think my point stands)
• Huey Lewis and the News
• Bon Jovi
• Hall & Oates
• Journey

Just to name a few, all have plenty of songs without sex, drugs or violence.

If you sit down and listen to every album straight through, sure, you’ll probably find a song that talks about sex. Because humans have been singing about sex for as long as we’ve known how to sing. It’s not forbidden knowledge for teenagers, they’re allowed to know that it exists. Some genres go overboard with it - a lot of modern rap, for instance - but you’re essentially arguing that an entire decade’s worth of a genre of music is just all trash that only talks about sex and drugs. That’s just silly, and definitively untrue.

Good news! America is about to rejoin the rest of the world in having multigenerational households, because we can’t afford to all have our own places for much longer. This has been coming for a while. If you have a home large enough to support that, this is probably a good thing. In fact if that becomes the norm (again) it would probably support future development of the country in good ways, having a higher population within a given area and having a significant percentage of that population be both children and grandparents incentivises walkable communities with accessible shops. It could go a long way towards decreasing car dependence.

But that’s all long term. In the meantime we’re all broke as hell so get ready to possibly live in the same house with your grandkids too.

About to fuck around and reboot Van Helsing

Smart people aren’t talking about it.

Replace every instance that a conservative has said “DEI” with the n-word and you’ll figure it out pretty quick

The rule of law is important, that’s the entire point. It’s being flouted openly in all corners or our government. I can support a just government, but we do not have one, and we do not stand a chance of instating one without removing the openly corrupt one that we have in place. Simple as that.

It is not only acceptable but is required when the judicial system is compromised how it is.

I just made the switch from Sync to Summit literally yesterday. Sync was fine for a while but it hadn’t been updated in ages (basically since the first major reddit migration wave) and it was starting to suffer as Lemmy incremented a few version numbers and Sync did not. Besides which I was paying a yearly subscription fee for an app that failed to load 2/3 of image posts.

If Sync gets an update I might still recommend it. It’s a good app, it just needs maintenance. In the meantime Summit does everything I wanted out of Sync, has an active developer with a Lemmy account, and doesn’t cost me money. I think it looks better too but that’s personal preference.

It’s a lot easier to fix a railroad than it is to remove a dragon.

Besides, the town provided the explosives after a charisma check, they had to know what they were going toward.

This is not an emergency, this is an easy mode try out for a real disaster.

So it’s going to be horribly fumbled in the stupidest manner possible and will definitely become a worldwide disaster. Got it.

I mean you say that but he’s been wearing him on his shoulders like body armor since the day after. He’s definitely a shield.
