So how much did this cost?

It’s Biden’s fault.

Exactly. My wife hasn’t used an actual computer more than a handful of times in the last several years. She does EVERYTHING on her smartphone.

I have never owned a laptop, because my desktop unit is where I do most of my business stuff, and when I’m away from that, my smartphone is good enough.

Of course, the most important thing isn’t that we account for two less computers than a few years ago, but the smartphones that we have replaced laptops with, run Android. So that’s actually a net loss of 4 MS products.

And after all these years, Windows products still make me frustrated and infuriated. You’d think they would have honed it to a perfect product by now, but every few years they completely reconfigure the UI, and make us have to navigate a whole new, buggy system.

Yeah, the Establishment Dems are nearly as pissed off as the MAGAs. If the Nazis come for Zohran, don’t expect the Dems to offer any help.

Imagine if you took $100 billion from any of these Goblins, they wouldn’t even notice it, but that money could fund homeless solutions (or any other problem) forever.

This is where God gets to prove he’s real, and he’s on the side of the people. If it’s true, Venice will finally sink into the sea and become a legend, like Atlantis.

If that happens, I’ll finally go to church every Sunday. Hear me God? That’s what it will take.

I took up guitar during Covid and got obsessed. Now I am buying up beat up old guitars, cleaning, repairing, restringing them, and reselling them at a profit. It feels great to take an old guitar that may have been neglected for decades, and put it back in the hands of someone who will give it a new life.

Every time I start a hobby, I end up monetizing it, then all the fun goes out of it, and I eventually drop it.

Smells like Ax body spray

Hey, Dad! Check it out, I finally got a real job!..Uh, what’s “Counter-Terrorism” mean?

Yeah, the Iranian government will probably just take it as the prank it was meant to be. Just boys being boys! No need to get revenge.

/S, dummy.

Excellent response.

I’m just commenting to say that they’ve determined that there is no rise in radiation around the sites they struck, so either there was no radioactive material stored there, or they didn’t impact the sites as badly as they are claiming. If there was radioactive material, it remained contained. They may still have to rebuild their facilities, but they still have the most important element, the uranium.

He needs to start doing some ruining then. He can start by having Venice sink into the sea during the Bezos wedding, wiping out many of the worst Sociopathic Oligarchs of the world.

Who the fuck cares what the Bible says? I’m under no obligation to live my life guided by fairy tales someone else believes in. If you want to be dumb enough to fall for that, be my guest, but don’t use it to justify immoral behavior.

Me, too. It wasn’t my decision.

Me, but that’s because Reddit permabanned me on the post- inauguration bloodbath.

In some ways I like Lemmy a lot better for things like politics. It doesn’t have all the puns, trolls, Russian Propaganda Farmers, bots, novelty accounts, etc., so while they are fewer comments, they tend to be more substantial. I can also mostly say what I think without getting suspended.

On the other hand, I miss some of the personal forums, which are far more active on Reddit. I’d like the guitar forums to be more active, but they barely have any posts. Most have weeks or even months between posts, while Reddits have a constant flow, every minute. I keep saying that I’m going to start posting content as often as possible, but I haven’t yet. Maybe I’ll start this week.

No impeachments until they know they can get a conviction in the Senate, which is highly unlikely.

Besides, an impeachment only makes Peter Theil (Vance’s leash holder) the president, then we’re out of the frying pan and into the fire.

They aren’t innocent, they are knowingly creating a devastating weapon of mass destruction for a regime who has declared that they intend to use it. While I don’t support this sort of unprovoked attack, I can’t get too worked up over the demise of literally mad scientists.

Transpeople and their supporters are falling into a trap set by the MAGA Nazis. They know that by constantly forcing the issue to the forefront, it forces Democrats to defend it, and it not only costs votes and makes them look extreme, but it keeps them from discussing issues that will earn them votes.

FIRST Rule of Politics - Get Elected. If it doesn’t get you elected, doesn’t attract votes, a campaign has to be ruthless and talk about something else. This is important: It doesn’t mean you don’t have support, it means that other issues are stronger vote attractors, and that’s what counts in an election. Vote for the candidate/party that is more likely to be sympathetic to your cause, even if they don’t talk about it, and you know that isn’t going to be Republicans. But don’t withhold your vote from a Dem candidate just because they didn’t make your specific issue their top priority. It doesn’t mean it isn’t important to them, it just means that other things are more likely to get votes. You certainly aren’t going to get what you want from MAGA Nazis.

I’m not a neo-liberal, I’m not even a Democrat, I’ve been an Unaffiliated Independent for nearly 50 years. I have a son with numerous trans friends whom I love and respect. I am way on your side. But this a WAR, and to achieve your objectives, sometimes you have to sneak up on the enemy. Running directly into the line of fire is not the way to win.

Your real battle is with health care. We need to have universal health care in this country, and when we finally do, there is going to be a war over things with a sexual/gender component like contraception, abortion, and trans health. Fight for health care first, and then you can fight to be included in that, and that will get you much of what you really need most.

I have a similar story with ex-partners, but not as long and convoluted, and also without such a successful outcome, but I definitely understand how dastardly ex-partners can motivate you to want to succeed without them.
