Or protect. They might protect those donuts tho.

What families are receiving it? Is it a qualification? Or a lottery.?

When it’s cold AF you love turning on the oven. My family eats crazy pizza, but not in the summer. The take out places near me aren’t great. Of course cold places love pizza!

The DNC is bought and paid for by oligarchs. Almost all of the richest US billionaires lean Democrat. Musk is an anomaly, and look how he’s been targeted. I’m not saying it’s entirely unmerited.

So of course the oligarchs want the working class disarmed. And they don’t want populist candidates who want to improve people’s lives and cut into profits which is why the Democrats haven’t had a real primary in awhile.

The oligarchs also fund republicans hoping to control them the same way, but Trump got elected anyway. You might actually hate him 20% less if the bought corporate media hadn’t been weaponized against him. A lot of his positions were Democrat positions twenty years ago. Hillary had some crazy “deport the illegals” quotes back in the day.

I’ll keep playing my N64 and NES, I might even buy some more used games. But I’ll never give them another dollar.

You can do whatever you want to do. So what I’m hearing is you no longer want to.

I’m in Ohio and my German is meh but I can understand 65%ish of what I see. It helps I lived in Duesseldorf for a year, but that was over 35 years ago so it doesn’t help enough.

I smack my girl on the butt. The thigh, really. Not hard, there’s no pain involved. It does annoy her though. I’m just letting her know, that was not cool. She understands.

Yeah I’ll definitely buy it, but I’m a patient gamer. It needs to be really cheap on a steam sale. I’ve played the original. I can wait.

It’ll get overturned. Give it time. And then maybe that’ll get overturned again. We’ll see, but this isn’t decided.

Many other countries use them too, although the US does use a lot. It does concern me that China might be wanting to use this to accelerate war, seize Taiwan etc before there are alternate sources available.

Didn’t China halt all exports of rare earth minerals to the whole world?

The minerals aren’t actually rare, they’re just in low concentrations and difficult to extract. It’s just a matter of time before thet set up mining and precessing somewhere else. It won’t be in the US though. It’ll be somewhere with super cheap labor and no regulations or environmental protections. Which is why it was in China in the first place.

Additionally, Lemmy would be a hostile place if you happened to be a conservative-leaning Linux user. I know quite a few, but they aren’t on Reddit either.

I’d buy a Tesla honestly but I can’t afford one. I can’t afford a gas shitbox either. When my car gets too expensive to repair I’m going to be so fucked.

Do you have a source for that? The Wikipedia page about it doesn’t mention it and mentions other sources, which I guess could be tied to the heritage foundation but even clicking through links I couldn’t find any connection.

I’m not saying there isn’t plenty to criticize about the concept and where they place particular individuals. That’s just the first time I’ve heard this claim, and I’m curious about it.

On the political compass subreddit they called them watermelons - green on the outside (libertarian left), red on the inside (authoritarian left). I realize they’re not really left at all, but the authoritarianism is baked in.

There’s no possible way this could go badly.

Yeah I do OS installs for other people all the time but my main PC is a hot mess and I run a bunch of problematic software including VR. I’ll probably end up setting up a dual boot of Win11 & Linux and avoid Windows as much as possible. But I will procrastinate because I already use both OS’s on other PCs so I know what to expect. I’ll put it off as long as possible, hoping they postpone. Never do today what you can put off til next year :)

This sounds like October’s problem.
