The Wire is one of the best tv shows ever made and it’s a slow burn especially in season one

Lightning bugs never get costed where I live 😞 I didn’t realize they were real until my mid teens even

My partner is a primary architect of AWS to build a replacement the size and scope that could replace US cloud computing isn’t reasonable unless they already have been developing this for years behind the scenes. The people who understand these systems at scale are few and far between

But they still won’t they’ll just make a more hidden copy

This is why I’ve already deleted basically everything, social media is a cancer that pushes us further and further apart and replaces meaningful interactions with vapid and shallow counterfeit interactions, it’s a net loss for anyone using it at this point.

It’s literally called “flooding the zone” and they’ve talked openly about the fact they’re doing it

Synonyms are so hetero

lol wtf

Counterpoint, that’s actually not the blues states jobs, our job is to take care of our state(s) just like others states job is to take care of themselves.

As a Washingtonian I would be thrilled if the west coast became independent but there’s no movement towards it and of course the road getting there is unknowable, but as an abstract concept it’s lovely.

Red states have done nothing but hold places like where I live back, they’re actively dragging us down with them and it’s wildly unfair to ask me and my people to subsidize states that relish in our destruction and aim to drown us along side themselves. Red states don’t deserve to be subsidized, let them live with the consequences of their actions without the comfort blue states afford them and see how long those red state governments last.

Americans are always about how we hate the government of a country but not the people, at least this American is and all the Americans I know are, I know it’s not literally universal. To say “I hate the Iranian government but not Iranian people” seems pretty reasonable if you hate the Iranian government but for them to turn around and basically say “well I consider all American entities, including completely powerless civilians free game” is fucked I’m no matter how you look at it. Like wtf more do you want from me? I vote against this, have for decades, I protest against this have been since W was in office, I donate money and energy to war torn countries, I’m absolutely against bombing any country why exactly am I considered fair game?? Fuck anyone who lumps entire countries of people into a single hive-mind that serves its leader, a fraudulent one no less

Must be spill over from the meme groups posting ancient stale memes

Iran is their ally yet they’ve allowed Israel to strike Iran with out repercussions so they’re sending a lot of mixed messages

They’re both deep underwater skeletons and have been for like a decade idk why something that’s like ancient internet history is being treated like something new, Lemmy is an alternate universe or something

This is why I stopped pursuing my degree, I’m never going to work in a lab stop trying to force irrelevant knowledge on me, granted it was psych not biology/ecology

I think being so fucking desperate to be distracted is actually our primary problem as a country. Stop avoiding reality, it’s time to grow up

They are

That’s literally an upvoted comment here with the person “guaranteeing” it would be exactly the same

I’m banned from Reddit so I’m here and this is my only social media left

Even if we took that “win” which is just some junk science to make idiots think they got a win the net gain is still significantly into the negative. You can’t run a country on one false step forward and 100 real steps back

That’s why they picked Italy, Italy loves fascism

Mostly because billionaires are using it for unfettered propaganda which everyone is vulnerable to not just older people
