Really seems like it’s all become so carefully curated and commoditized that the personality and rough edges and accidents that made any of it noteworthy have been hewn away. American culture is populated by what might as well be walking, talking avatars designed solely to billboard for Disney and Nestle and a few big corporate interests. But, wtf do I know. Maybe I’m just too old for this shit.

The M clearly stands for Mahoney.

Bold move assuming we all want to exist.

You think that now… Wait 'til I bargain a hard drive.

Hoarding wealth in greater quantities than you could ever use in order to have power over others desperate to just survive is abusive to start with. They’re probably exposed to other people with all variants of abusive tendencies and trained to believe they are better than and deserving of the suffering of others. Being raised in that environment will definitely encourage a much higher proportion of other abusive behaviors.

Can’t even tell they’re in there by the time they’re done. Plus, the skin has more protein and nutrients than the rest of the potato. All the stuff that’s good for you is in the skin. Whole point of this recipe is you can eat them without knowing they’re even there.

He’s got no assets to seize (already seized the western assets he could) and his diplomats are a fucking liability snapping photos of our lawmakers with hookers and drugs.

His threats sound more like favors. It’s like he’s asking countries to take Russian assets and offering free blowies along with.

Boil in chunks with the skin still on. Drain and mash immediately while still way too hot with a hand masher, butter and raw egg. Stir in grated cheese and bake for 20 minutes at like 325-350.

Capitalism must feed. And, if we don’t give them huge electronics landfills to search for scrap, what are our children and grandchildren going to do for work?

Governments might have thought of that when they were spending decades endorsing wealth inequality and subsidizing everything from the top. Why make more people when life’s already not worth living and everything continues to get worse at an accelerating rate?

Watergate is just the name of a hotel/shop/office complex in DC. The Watergate scandal had nothing to do with water, it’s just named after the place where it occurred. The -gate suffix for scandals is dumb.

This motherfucker wants someone “who understands the ‘importance of dialogue’” after he invaded Russia’s neighboring country, straight up stole land & children and sanctioned his troops raping, pillaging and murdering civilians?!?

Putin is not a serious person on any level. His words and actions have no business being treated in a serious manner.
He should be hunted down and disposed of like a rabid dog.
He’s not a human. Just trash.
Fucking cancerous trash.

Wasn’t referring to what Meta could do or even necessarily that there’s an issue with Lemmy’s software. More that there’s a bunch of servers with various configurations without resources dedicated to intrusion detection, mitigation or reporting. If something did happen at a server level to a hobbyist instance there’s no reason to believe users or maybe even the persons running the instance would know about it.

Probably. Not sure if this will do it. But there’s inherent privacy concerns in having a bunch of relatively insecure silos interoperating as a semi-social network even if most of us do so with varying degrees of anonymity. For the moment, most of us are here to avoid corporate overreach so motivations are in a certain degree of alignment. But it’s just a matter of time before something goes wrong or the winds change in an unforeseen way.

Is there anyway to implement (without spinning up your own private instance) the ability for individual users to opt out of federation of their content to certain instances, or would that introduce too much overhead and complication?

Gonna need a mobile BioShock port first, so they can Rapture while they Rapture or something.

Would be willing to bet that:

• Erdogan was informed of these plans by Putin personally and was fine with playing a part in them.
• Finland has documents that explain this.
• Finland has refrained from accusing Turkey of this because they actually value the NATO alliance and don’t want to sow discord, even if Erdogan is guilty.

Russian grandmas and wives should take the money and protest anyway. Sounds like a great opportunity for a rogue propaganda campaign… Something like the following…

Option 1 - propaganda poster style

Option 2 - propaganda poster style

Option 3 - photo style

Option 4 - photo style

(All images created with bing image creator, prompt “Russian grandmother with russian government check and flaming wine bottle” some with “in the style of propaganda posters” appended.
Text made with google translate, english > russian, should say “I got mine. Time they got theirs.”)
