Nah screw that. I'm voting, and if you aren't a bitch you'll vote too.

Unless you wanna sit up there on your lame ass high horse and not be accountable for anything.

Here?? In lemmy Shitposts?? Never!!

What did they do? Last I heard their whole schtick was "we are bad people, but it makes us money". Like that's literally why they made the band, the guy went "nobody wants my regular music, I'll just make pandering slop then" and it worked.

While I do agree that we probably have less "per hour driven" I think this metric is important because it still reflects the danger to the average person. If I get hit by a car it's not going to make me feel any better to know "that person was driving for a really long time before they hit you".

Factually it's an interesting metric. But it doesn't make pedestrians feel any safer

I could see these being really helpful to someone with sensory stressors. A way to have some artwork that is simple and uniform, with minimal chaos, but still movement.

Yep, there are accurate adaptations that are bad movies, and good movies that are bad adaptations, either way though they have to add up to something that will sell, and that's hard to do with corporate idiots stepping on the creators and writers. The people doing resident evil knew to get out of their way, shareholders don't.

As a guy, these apps suck. I've met a few people on them, but it's very obvious that they are deliberately hiding matches and people that are your type behind a paywall. It's not in their best interest to show you people that have the same interests as you, it's better if they bundle them all up and slap a big fat price tag on the front.

People are starting to realize these apps aren't about hooking up or making connections, they're about squeezing desperate people looking for love into giving money for the promise of finding it.

Any "secure system" with a deliberate backdoor (no matter who it's for) is not a secure system.

May as well rant about it here.

Whenever someone say about trump "But he's a good businessman!" As some sort of defense, I get immediately annoyed. He is an absolute garbage businessman. He has failed or run so many businesses into the ground. He made a casino go broke, you know the business that thrives on basically just letting people come in and throw their money at you and leave?

What he is good at is lining his own pockets. He goes into anything and lies, cheats, and schemes, then shovels as much money into his pockets as he can before someone notices and the bills come due. He makes deals with contractors, then refuses to pay, then drags them through courts until they give up and claims he got a discount. That's not "good business" that's theft. It's despicable and gross.

Every allegory we have for a corrupt, lying, thieving businessman is embodied in Trump. He is not good for business. He's good for himself until the business fails then he moves on to the next persons pile of money to steal.

And that's what he is doing as president. He is selling the country piece by piece to line his own pockets, then once everything goes belly up he'll take his money and walk away.

Fuck Trump.

Smurfing on a dating app is a level of masochism I didn't think is humanly possible. Those apps are already soul grinding enough.

There's also a vocal minority of just really pessimistic people on here. Politics I don't mind as long as it's a discourse about not only what is bad but what can be reasonably done about it.

I've been in several discussions where I add "look at community, we are strong together" and it's immediately beaten down with "the world won't change things are shit and always will be, be mad and angry about it, I'm mad and angry at you".

It's the internet, I'm not surprised. But I've definitely had to disconnect myself for a bit some days after severe reactions from people just to remember it's just strangers on the internet.

It's not all the time, but for some discussions that promote inclusion and understanding to be met with the hard "I don't agree so you are human garbage" can be an awful whiplash sometimes.

After reading all the comments about wanting his life to be over and the counters about feeling bad for him etc. I think ive come to a conclusion on how to ethically handle him.

I'm going to laugh. I'm going to laugh at how foolish he looks having a stroke on stage. How despite all of the terrible things he has done to this country on a socio-economic level trying to line his pockets and stay in power, he is standing up there, feeble and barely coherent, looking like he simultaneously shat himself and forgot his name, I'm going to laugh.

Because if he wants any semblance of dignity, any ounce of respect, he needs to admit that he is done and bow out.

"But he is still human, have some empathy" No, why should I? This man has engineered tearing the country apart so he can put his grubby hands all over it and smear it in his own grease. And he is still trying to keep doing it!

What I see up there is an old man trying to walk across the freeway, with a dozen people telling him not to. And he is not only ignoring them but lifting his nose high and walking out into the road anyway. So when I see that mack truck hit him like it did on that stage, I laugh.

"Oh who the fuck am I offending!? The Nazis??"

Just reminded me of that quote from the Hellsing abridged series. Extrajudicial murder is still not good.

I think I can speak for most Americans (and as someone who owns stocks) fuck the shareholders.

Just remember, every time your insurance goes up, every time you see teachers stressed and struggling, every time you debate going to the doctor because of the cost.

They said "we can't afford it".

Remember who approves this, and vote their asses out. This isn't a representative democracy, it's been taken over by scam artists favoring their own interests.

God forbid we start spreading propaganda like "people being nice to each other" that would be a real shame.

"All the engineers said my "screen door on a submarine" was "stupid" and would "sink the ship", so I fired them and hired new engineers!"

• CEO of now defunct "Screen Door Subs Inc."

Not only that but he tweeted something around 100 times that day. Someone got their "special medicine" and went on a bender confident they knew everything. And now they've come down and they're confident they still do but can't admit they were off their gourd for a day. Like a typical narcissist yes.

Turns out ladder pulling doesn't work well when you vote for the people that push you off with the ladder.

The joke is it's "rags to riches" because she went from driving her mom's Porsche (a luxury sports car brand) to having her own special ordered Porsche. If they've got a Porsche the only rags they've seen are the ones they use so they don't have to touch poor people
