If you get this joke, it's time to schedule that colonoscopy.

Do you know the difference between an ironic bigot and an actual one? Me neither.

If your confused, look up irony poison. Ironic bigotry isn't funny. If not by virtue of bad taste, then by virtue of being played to fucking death.

$15.5B dollars, invented out of ether, and bestowed on the lucky gamblers. The stock market is so efficient that it can create wealth without bothering with economic activity. No jobs created; no products produced; and nothing to trickle down.

You'd think in a war with the same aircraft being used on both sides that the belligerents would invest in some robust IFF.

This guy isn't for working people! Did you know he comes from a wealthy family and attended 75K/year boarding schools? Just kidding, I'm talking about Platner.

Patches are not the worst thing in the world. There was a Robocop game, I think for the NES. The developers didn't have time to complete the 5th level, so they put a time limit on the 4th level that was impossible.

Imagine if Cyberpunk or No mans sky were final at launch.

Elon mad because he's being exploited for other people's profit. Delightful.

"I reject the tax that can pass, but support the tax that's impossible" is the same thing as being opposed to the tax.

Don't forget our ally, the authoritarian theocracy that already has nukes. All of Israel's neighbors understand that nukes are the only thing that keeps Israeli fighter jets out of your country.

Ironically, a nuclear armed Iran and Saudi Arabia may lead to more stability in the region by being a check on Israeli (and US) aggression.

Yea, it's pretty lonely being an actual progressive on lemmy sometimes.

There is no reason for a run-of-the-mill citizen to have access to lethal weapons.

 

I'm in the bottom half of Appalachia, if it's a regional thing.

 
 
 
 

All anyone cares about is which powerful man gets embarrassed. And I recon it's more likely that Maxwell will get out early than any predator gets jail.

There were HUNDREDS of victims; it went on for decades; and nobody gives a tiny shit. Have you heard anybody propose a law, a task force, even a blue ribbon commission to find out how this happened or make sure nobody does this again? Are their any more resources for victims because of this?

Our society accepts that men of wealth are entitled to abuse people. And sexual abuse is all in the game. Because at the end of the day our legal system is constructed to protect these people from the rabble, not hold them to account.

A pedophile is political designation to strip rights, dignity, and legitimacy from enemies. Children being harmed is beside the point.

I own Windows 11 and my computer and preferred OS (Fedora) support TPM and Secure boot. Is it worth the time to configure that stuff to run W11, or should I just continue to run W10 since I don't do anything but run a couple games?

I have a robust backup, so even a system wide Nuke is a day's worth of re-installing, worst case.

Honestly, since I boot W10 so rarely, it'll kinda be nice not to have to update it every time.
