I am a very liberal person and I have very liberal children, except for one. I'm pretty sure my Gen Z son has been taken in by fascist doctrine. What can I get him for Christmas?
  • How the fuck can you see the results of the last US election and the rhetoric on the right and say stupid shit like this?

  • Catalan separatist leader Puigdemont makes surprise return to Spain
  • The “surprise” is because he’s wanted, and is being actively hunted by the Spanish police.

    An officer even got arrested for helping him escape, per the article.

  • if we were all judged like that..
  • “Progressive Catholic” talk about an oxymoron, emphasis on the moron…

  • Warframe Players Have Baldur’s Gate 3 To Thank For New Romance System
  • At this point “like Baldur’s Gate 3” will become the new “Dark Souls of”

  • Give it time
  • I hope I remember this moment in [10-50 years] when this song becomes a reality.

    Future me: you expected this eventuality would come in your lifetime, but you’re still weirded out at the thought. Sounds too sci-fi to ever be considered normal.

  • Slay the Spire co-creator advises that 'taking risks is actually the least risky thing you can do,' arguing for the appeal of 'hyper-engaging' games
  • “Guy who won the lottery says lottery tickets are the best investment there is! More at 11.”

  • ByteDance prefers TikTok shutdown in US if legal options fail, sources say
  • Worst part about Lemmy being a tech heavy space is that so many users spout shit like “They’re not banning it, just deplatforming it” like yes, dipshit, that’s effectively a ban for something like 99% of people. You think 100,000,000 people are gonna fucking sideload the app? Love this place but it can be a bubble sometimes.

  • Venice becomes first city in the world to charge day trippers a tourist fee to enter
  • Having visited in 2019, it was incredibly clean. They charged just a standard transient occupancy tax of I wanna say a few euros a day. But that’s multiplied by 24 million annual visitors staying for multiple nights each. I need to read this article when I get home and see what the new funds are earmarked for, because I remember being happy with everything from cleanliness to safety to transit while I was there.

  • $1200 Graphics Card Opens Two Extra Google Chrome Tabs
  • Wait? Normal people are constantly buying an extra stick of ram because their browsers slow down too much.

    We may not realize it’s a problem because the tech sphere (and especially the pc gaming sphere) is famous for overbuying. I used to frequent buildapc over on that other site and there are daily posts of people asking if their RTX 3060, 10th gen i5, and 16gb of ram is good enough for basic gaming and getting told no “actually you need at least a 4070, 13th gen i9, and 32gb of ram just to be low end!”

    Hell, I used to be a frequent commenter on lowendgaming and would constantly have to butt heads with gamers who believed that a 4060 ti was low end.

    It’s an unhealthy mindset that a lot of pc powerusers have that makes it impossible for them to engage reasonably with articles like this because they simply cannot wrap their heads what is actually normal in the world of pc users. /endrant

  • Zelenskyy straight-up said Ukraine is going to lose if Congress doesn't send more aid
  • Republicans never argue in good faith, and bending over backwards to give them what they want just shows them they can demand even worse terms next time.

  • Pirates stand no chance
  • Estonians are just built different

  • How Would You Handle Students Cheating?
  • Probably treating as “forgetting to write down their steps” before jumping to cheating; presumably you’ve been teaching them to show their work and they forgot to do that here.

    Give them the chance to show you how they solved it on the board, if they can then great! Give ‘em the points and send em on their way. If not, then give them a zero for that part of the test and move on.

  • Boats can't bend steel beams!
  • My Bach degree was in history, and I often wrote off the importance of the “critical thinking” skills we learned in that program.

    Boy was I wrong, I know too many people who need nothing more than an unsourced headline to fully convince them of something ludacris.

  • CPU prices could rise as Apple takes 50% of next gen manufacturing
  • Dunno, was just trying to watch YouTube on Chromium. I tried to install Firefox to see if that helped but it did not.

    I looked it up on the pi forums and from what I could tell it’s just not capable of 1080p60.

  • This is the way
  • just thinking logistically, I imagine that happened a lot. Anyway I expect a decent number of his calls were made by aides and he just took the phone after they got through to the right person.

  • CPU prices could rise as Apple takes 50% of next gen manufacturing
  • Yo that’s crazy! I was surprised to find out the Pi 4 I picked up a few years ago can’t even stream 1080p video and it has 4gb ram and a 1.8 ghz cpu
