Come on and SLAM
If you wanna JAM
Yeah, I don't agree with his position at all, just sharing an interesting talk that I think gives us insight as to some of what's been going on the past 20 years. My takeaway was that Russia gave up fighting the US with force si they just try to create as much instability in the US as possible.
Fart loudly? Idk.
So this answer might come off the wrong way. I wanna start by saying that the reality sucks, and I'm sorry it's that way and we should all work to better it. That having been said...
A conventionally attractive woman in yoga pants doing yoga in public will catch eyes like a man wearing a speedo at a water park. It's stupid, it sucks, but it is what it is. The best way to avoid it is unfortunately to not do it. Especially if that gawking is feeling like more than gawking, and you're concerned for your safety.
My message to the dnc
Fuck you we elected Bernie and you ran Hillary and then we elected Bernie and you gave us Biden. Fuck you.
That's the point.
Russia has aimed to destabilize the US since the cold war.
I feel like I'm m taking crazy pills. The cold war never ended. We changed battlefields and everyone shut up about it.
And in the last 20 years we have gotten our balls stomped. Our enormous military is useless if they can turn it against our citizenry.
How fucking dumb are we?
Sorry about what you're going through.
You miss your parents because they gave you love of some kind, whether or not it was the right kind, all your life. The same reason people don't leave their abusive partners.
As for school, if you're in the US just take your GED, if you feel up for it. You may be done with high school earlier than you would've otherwise! It will save you a year of social obnoxiousness while you're going through something difficult. And if your goal is college, just be sure to weave in your story in your application essays and you're a shoe-in. Idk, college boards eat stories like this up, so hey, silver lining!
What your parents did, as per your description, is wrong. I think most people can agree with this. You're right to be confused. Sorry youre going through this. Just know your confusion is valid, your pain is valid. You're right to be upset with the way they treated you and you're right to stand your ground on being with the people who you love.
Oh, please let me testify. Lmao.
I managed to get Comcast to pay me to use their services for over a year due to thei repeated negligence.
It was almost not worth the monthly support call.
As they should.
Money is the bottom line for your populace. We're the richest nation in history.
You lose your populace to the enemy over a few bucks thats on you.
This country is toast.
Force it to rue into apartments?
Who tf goes to brick and mortar stores to buy electronics today?
I don't support trump here but like... Fuck best buy.
Nothing more commonly fruitful than a misconfigured print server.
$12/hr for someone living in NK is a lot more money than $12/hr for someone in your neighborhood.
Wanna know who knows who is doing this?
Cell carriers.
And this is why bug bounty hunters get paid.
I've been calling out Taiwan being where it all goes haywire since before I joined Lemmy.
I agree but this post confirms my 'bet'
This is America.
Yeah. And that's why Taiwan will be what starts WWIII.
Taiwan is a red line for us, too.
TSMC goes belly up before we get suitable replacements manufactured elsewhere, and Microsoft, Google, Meta, Netflix, Hulu, OpenAI, Apple, IBM, and many others go belly up with them. Or will at least be so severely disrupted that yeah. Their red line is our red line. Push will come to shove eventually.
If you're ever dealing with negative self talk, you can always talk back and say "Not true! I am way, way better than that guy."
people should know about Pete Davis
I'm approaching 40. I've been all over the internet my whole life. Mostly a metal head. I love me my prog rock. I love my folk, and a little indie here and there.
I won't give away too much, but if you know where I know this music from, give me a shout. I'm sure some of y'all are out tofu aware out there.
Pete Davis never got the fame he deserves in this genre. Maybe Foss platforms can give a hum le ho ie a signal boost. This is his most popular track with a band from cages ago, but peep his shit. He deserves it.
Anyone Else been following the countdown at blackmesa.com?
The bottom of the page there is a countdown that will expire at midnight Eastern standard Time tonight.
This company claims to be in Boston. They've received federal grants. I've done a small amount of digging, but it would be entirely within valves resources to set up such a company. They have a LinkedIn, but it doesn't really seem like anyone really works there? It seems like a viral marketing campaign.
There was a Reddit thread. A while back. Some people noticed classes in the HTML that referenced other half-lifey things. But, some people in that thread shut it down as nothing out of the ordinary.
Then, there have been recent leaks with regard to a new game being developed. Someone found a resume suggesting that a person had done voice-over work for an unreleased project with Valve in 2023.
There was also a leak of some files with .hlx file types, and I guess prior to the half-life alyx release some .hla files leaked.
In the .hlx file leak, I guess there was found references to things like the EV suit.
Here's a YouTube video that touches on all of this.
what are your favorite condiment creations?
Acceptable range of answers:
"I mix mustard with mayo"
to
"I emulsify a blend of herbs and mustard seeds and chilis in clarified butter to make and herbaceous fatty hot spread"
Bonus: what's it best on?
Eyedea & Abilities - Color My World Mine
Legend has it, Eyedea wrote these lyrics when he was 14 years old. What the actual fuck.
midnight club: the unsung hero of arcade racing.
This is an appreciation thread. All 4 games are iconic to me. Way underrated.
To me, midnight club is everything need for speed wanted to be. Need for speed had a few hits and many misses. Midnight club was 100% hits. And they aged incredibly. They're still fun as hell.
If you never played and you dig arcade racing games, go play. It's an open city racing game. Variety of racing types, endless challenges, and really great mechanicsi just wish it was as.pophlar as it deserves to be.
Worse and worse
Anyone else getting worse and worse service with chat gpt?
I am getting repetitive incorrect and lazy answers and then rate limited. Idk what I'm even paying for at this point. It's happened the last 5 times I've used it over the last week or so.
Am I alone?
screen blackout, app still functions.
Im on a galaxy s22+. This started happening the same time the upvotes downvote buttons started to glitch in the UI which I have also posted about.
This issue is more annoying. When I am mid response, I'll often leave the app to get more accurate info in what I'm trying to say. When I come back to Lemmy, it's all black. Nothing. But my button presses are still registering.
If I go to the app switcher (bottom left android button) thing, and reselect Lemmy, it fixes and the display returns.
But if I react by pressing the back button, I lose my response, I lose the post I was responding to, I sometimes can't even relocate the thread I was in easily.
voting buttons bug
I need to hit the upvotes and downvote buttons twice on the main page.
It will flash it's color as I press on press 1, but then quickly revert. On second press, it behaves normally.
Tom Brier sight reads Super Mario World Ending Theme - incredible ragtime improv
This guy was something special. Not too many prodigies can improv like Tom Brier. Someone posted Nyan cat the other day and it reminded me of the incredible body of his work.
This guys relative made this YouTube channel when he realized Tom could play anything and turn it into a full length song ad libertum, AND that he was incredibly out of touch with pop culture. Most of the time he is completely unfamiliar with the song being presented to him. You can tell how much he enjoyed this song by his enthusiastic laugh at the end 😊
Guy sadly was in a bad car accident in 2016, and can no longer play. These videos just make me cry now, but God damn does this mean deserve keep being found and revered.
feature request: custom feeds
Right now there are three feeds available to me, that, as far as I can tell, I have minimal control over.
It'd be rad if there was a way to add feeds, and for each feed, be able to manually select communities I'd like to see.
This would be great for news, porn, sports, pornography, adult content, and so much more.
Your Personal Metal Deep Cuts
Last week we had a great thread about metal without growls. In reading suggestions, and conjuring up some of my own, I re-realized a bunch of stuff.
I wanna see your top 3 metal deep cuts.
What do I mean by deep cut? I mean the formative shit. The stuff you found and loved along the way but lost track of, that when you revisit you go "fuck what happened to these guys?" The ones that helped guide you but fell off the face of the earth (or just your radar).
