Yeah people act like it’s so easy to get a virus but if you’re even remotely competent it’s pretty easy to avoid
Growing up, a neighborhood kid did this. All the other kids were scared of him and we all used to hide when he came outside to play. No one knows what ever happened to him…he dropped off the face of the earth after leaving home during high school, and his family moved out of the country a year later. Sometimes I wonder what he ever wound up doing….
I hate these people. It’s one thing to be dumb and obstructionist. It’s another to think that being dumb and obstructionist by spewing pure nonsense makes you clever. The fact they think they’re clever damn near gives me a stroke.
“The system accurately reflects what people vote for.” …Boy I have this fun American institution called the electoral college that begs to differ. Trump lost the popular vote but he sure did become president. Further examples? Majority support for the right to abortion in poll after poll but guess what? SCOTIS repudiated decades of precedent and decided it doesn’t exist as a constitutional right, at which point multiple states severely limited the right, often against clearly expressed public sentiment. America is not a democracy and it’s national politics so not serve its people.
Wow, who could’ve ever precicted not vaccinating your kids because you saw your neighborhood drunk stay at home mom who believes in healing crystals “explain” why scientists are wrong was a dumb decision that would lead to this ?
As if we needed further proof that that man is a lunatic and a moron.
Genuine question: what alternative would you recommend? I was planning on buying a few for various projects next month with my next paycheck but now I’m not too keen on funding them.
I can’t wait to have to pay a subscription fee for some aspect of it.
No their ads told me they’re the heroic guardians of my privacy.
“You will love the cloud and we will sell everything you upload to it. You won’t own your data, OS or hardware when we are done.”
Sovereign citizens are some of the stupidest dregs of society. It doesn’t even take proper legal training to realize how wrong and how stupid their statements are when they do this kind of garbage.
This is basically trying to save face. They may as well say “no really, all you plebs shouldn’t hate us! It’s not our fault we’re rich and don’t pay taces!” Because they can feel now how bad things are getting and how much worse they’re likely going to get as the decade unfurls
I’m gonna third AMG! It’s one of the few review sites that I think has consistently good reviews of a decently wide array of metal. And I’m not just saying that because I agree with them…I’m saying that because they introduced me to Blood Incantation. Which anyone unfamiliar should absolutely give a listen!
That is an absolutely incredible description. Gonna queue it up after work!
That’s what everyone I know who sees them live says! I’ve never managed to get into them, but maybe I need to give them another try. Any recommendations on where to start?
Mastodon managed to just confuse the hell out of me before boring me. Take that with a grain of salt, though, because I was never on Twitter. It may be me, not the platform/concept.
Suggestions
Hello, and forgive me for throwing in a text post. I was wondering what you guys would recommend for a newcomer! I just got into black metal about 6 months ago, and I’m digging it, mostly Mayhem and Darkthrone and Bathory, so nothing super out-there or unknown. I’d love some recommendations for good bands!
a modest proposal: reading club!
Hello, all, it’s Pangolin again. I was thinking we here could start out own reading club! My thoughts for how this could work:
-
Once a month, we decide what to read—whether we choose an epic poem, a collection, or something else—by creating a post, making suggestions, and deciding via upvote. (Obtuse, but I can’t figure out how to make polls/if doing so is possible in Lemmy right now.)
-
We create a separate post on which we can discuss our chosen work(s) until the end of the month.
-
We do this for as long as people are interested.
So: if you’re interested, please comment your suggested reading for August! Also feel free to criticize this idea/suggest ways to improve it!
Who are your favorite poets?
Hello, fellow fediverse poetry lovers! Like the title suggests, who are your favorite poets? I figured a post like this could be fun and could help us all discover new poets!
To start things off, I’ll list my top three at the moment:
- William Carlos Williams
- Pablo Neruda
- T.S. Elliot
Happy to elaborate on why I chose any of them or share my recommendations for poems by any of them. More importantly, though, I’d love to hear what you guys think!
RimJob Steve: Good intentions from the badly-named
What do we have here?
Greetings, fellow carbon-based life forms. I’ve gon ahead and created Rimjob Steve: a place for wholesome posts/comments by those with inappropriate/rude usernames! If you’re familiar with the original subreddit, you get the idea. If not, I have posted an example in the new Lemmy community!
Why did I make this?
I really enjoyed the subreddit!
Who is Pensivepangolin?
I’m literally just some person.
Right now I’m the only mod, and I’m not affiliated with the subreddit in anyway, other than as someone that enjoyed it when they still used Reddit. I’m more than willing to bring people on to moderate it if the community gets an real volume of users! I’m also more than happy to answer any questions! Also if any mod of that sub ever winds up seeing this and wants to contact me, please feel free to hit me up on here. I’m going to be setting up a mastodon account shortly, and I’ll edit the post to include it when that’s done!
