9 out of 11 tasteless jokes Americans tell are 9/11 jokes.
And like that’s a recent tragedy. I can’t even tell ya when the Alamo happened.
As an american, I wish I knew that sooner!
This video by Northridgefix always stuck with me because most of why his business grew is because he spent so much Google ads that he made enough money to then move to a strip mall by a major road all while making YouTube videos and taking mailed in work.
He has another video looking for new employees because he had too much business.
I’m a simple man.
I got to thepiratebay.org
I download what I want and put it on a jellyfin server
I never want much just some albums or a couple movies.
Its good enough and I’m pretty happy I don’t do anything crazy. I shouldn’t be watching this much TV as it is!
What’s even crazier is he freely admits to this.
He continues to freely admit that the best way to get views is to be seen as rich and generous because kids love that stuff.
He only knows how to YouTube and Market and he says this all the time.
Mildly related.
I have a Native American friend. Her tribe is small so they only have a relatively small plot as their reservation. So they slapped a casino there and she makes bank by simply being a tribe member.
I asked if she’s okay with that since I would feel bad making money off of peoples gambling addiction and she said
“I don’t feel bad for white people.”
And honestly
1) I don’t think that’s a completely shocking take consider all of american history
But also
2) Its certainly a similar sentiment among sex workers I’ve met so its not an unfounded accusation.
This is very much a “if your eye is causing you to sin, pluck it out” moment, but still
It is shocking to me that anyone would invite zizek to talk and not assume he needs double whatever time he is allocated.
I run stock Pop OS and I’ve only recently wanted to give a shit about macros.
You should only care if you’re running a specific software. By and large its AS SEEMLESS as using Windows.
Note that its not really BETTER its mostly just DIFFERENT.
This has never stopped humanity from at least rhyming before
He is after all a humble man.
That’s fun!
Rewriting a paper over and over is usually how I work out all my weird parts.
I use github pages for my blog and its whole point is tracking version changes. So now I’m deeply curious about what that would look like with an ever changing singular blog post. The intellectual journey wed see watching an author refine a single idea seems very interesting.
I’d genuinely read it every update that sounds like the kinda woke intellectualism I’m all about!
I did too. So I started a blog.
Heavily recommend it. And if you don’t know what to write about, I’ve found giving a list of topics you like and asking a chatbot of your choice to generate an assignment is a good use for them.
Not the paper itself but the assignment prompt
I’m probably just stupid.
No because I don’t like clicking links to random sites
Same, but I hate that it’s just a link.
You should talk about that other cool stuff.
Random links to random websites with no details aren’t cool
What is this? Another website that offers YouTube videos without ads?
Yeah that’s what’s going to happen with the main blog.
Forgejo action > static HTML site > Cloudflared tunnel
This separate idea is to have a Lemmy instance to host pictures and federate the blogs comment system so people ideally won’t have to sign in or make an account to comment.

Price point is fine for a “new” laptop.
Unfortunately, most of us obsessed with repairable laptops are also okay with refurbed at like a tenth the price.
Sure, a framework is more repairable than a thinkpad. But the point is to reduce ewaste. I can more easily reduce ewaste by buying this repairable enough laptop from eBay for $200-$400 vs $1200 without ram or ssd
I swap PCs regularly and I hate how long it takes to install windows.
Also windows borked a games drive once and I never forgave it.
Then I learned all the privacy stuff.
Genuine question: why do you want to be a Co-owner and not just start a server?
It seems you’re aware of what goes into it normally. Except technical aspects. Is that all?
Tom Bombadill was an insane add to the story.
“Yeah I thought it would be interesting to have a guy who could just end the story but he loves his girlfriend too much.”
Let me guess
Engineering or CS?
I dunno, after perusing the website, I’m sold!
I’m so sold I’m gonna go get circumcised a second time!

So long as Daniel is paid from Mullvad, Mullvad financially supports the far right by proxy.
So this doesn’t feel like an issue to me because its a digital download.
This means we know an infinite number of these games could be made. There is no scarcity issue at hand. So my digital copy sitting unplayed doesn’t remove from someone else’s ability to play. Therefore I don’t really care that I don’t play those games.
Also, invite your friends over for a lan party
I’m a fan of academic and Pop-academic sources.
Pop Academic is usually the much easier to read version of a proper academic quality book. I’m a fan of Bart D. Erhman and a lot of his books are pop academia, but they reference his academic works.
The process I was taught for this kind of source finding is 1) Search for a broader topic 2) Find a well referenced book on the broader topic 3) Read book reviews of the book to determine if it has the content you want 4) Read the book or skim the book looking for mention of the idea you want to know more about 5) Check the relevant sources of that section.
If there are no sources listed (or they don’t exist because they’re hallucinations), its probably not a good book for information.
Gingers are Lorax-kin
A Plato ass move
Context: Plato’s conception of gods was that they couldn’t lie because they were actually necessarily good.and things that were wholly good have no reason to decieve. They don’t even shape shift!
In the Republic, Plato says we should rewrite myths so that this truth was pushed and not the slander of poets. Further we should restrict what poets can write in his ideal republic (though this is more of a metaphor for how to live a good life than a literal outline of his ideal republic, its still kinda shitty of him and I’m not really sure if there’s a better interpenetration).
To consider debasement of currency as bad I must first respect the concept of cash capital.
Therefore, Diogenes is based.
I love my cats, but I’d rather my neighborhood have birds.
IF you got wide feet, Lems and Zero do pretty good. Lems I know goes to 15, but I’m just a 12
That was Plato and Socrates’s secret
If Plato is accurate then I don’t know if he didn’t talk out of his ass.
Damn that’s a pretty good explanation actually
Sorry, you have a scale that can measure your water content?
That, the relationship to mysticism, giving sermons in Greek instead of Latin, translation disagreements with the bible
It was a few things, but I also want to believe it was the bread.
Also I was raised by Catholics but in hindsight the eastern Orthodox seems much more based and I say they were in the right
