No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What can Trump get away with and what can he not? Hell one president shot an enemy to him. Can he do that?
4·11 hours agoHe got away with more murders on the American people than the 9/11 hijackers, at least 120 fold. All because he mishandled, deliberately, an active pandemic. 350,000 lives lost.
And he disregarded advice and the playbook by people like Obama but he didn’t want that because he believed that Obama was inferior to him.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are mundane actions we get to do everyday with technology that would be a superpower to people from before say.. the 1600s?
2·12 hours agoI just learned today that the concept of timezones was not invented until 1876.
That feels relatively young for something like that, I would’ve thought maybe that would’ve been a little further back.
Or sometimes just find alternatives that suits your needs.
I’m with Tello and I pay $15 a month for 5GB/Unlimited Text-Talk, but it suits my needs. They’re having a cool deal right now for Black Friday where it’s $15 for unlimited data with text/talk for an entire year. The only fees is a few cents for tax.
Retail has toxified any and every holiday experience because every holiday is just “BUY BUY BUY!”
Halloween? “BUY CANDY! JUST BUY IT OH AND BUY CHEAP DECORATIONS AND TAT TOO!” Thanksgiving? “BUY FOOD! BUY LOTS OF FOOD!” X-Mas? “BUY EVERYTHING OR UNLESS YOU’RE A SOULLESS PERSON WHO DOESN’T BUY ANYTHING FOR THOSE YOU LOVE!” Valentine’s Day? “BUY CHOCOLATES! BUY CHEAP TAT!”
And it just cycles through every year. And you get to witness so many idiots that continue falling for the same traps, just by coming into your store every day.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you feel sad about the fact that you'll probably die within 100 years (or less) and you (well... that's most of us tbh) can't do much to leave a significant positive legacy?
3·18 hours agoNot really. It’s kinda like asking what will we ever do if something happens in outer space that’ll mean the end of our earth and all of the combined wealth of rich people can do anything to help it (they’ll hoard it all anyways and think they’ll see their money afterwards).
Things that have a beginning, have an end, that’s life in general. You live it. You do what you can in it, try not to be the most worst individual and whatnot. The sad part of it all is not being able to carry over everything you’ve learned and those you’ve known. Then again, it won’t matter at all in the next life you’ll be in because everyone you’ve known is long gone into their next journey wherever and whomever.
But as for the positive legacy? Well, the only way we’ll ever do that is if we’re in positions of power, have all the wealth or born well-known with unmatched charisma. It’s just a damn shame we live in a timeline where all of that is horribly misused and abused.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Who are the members of your chosen families?
3·18 hours agoI have two aunts, one in the UK and the other about a state away from me. I’ve known them for about 4 years and they’ve been the best aunts I’ve come to know. I used to have a chosen mother but things with her are up in the air after coming to light some very questionable content being shared on her FB that takes jabs at transgenders.
No but there are some people who tend to act holier than thou because they have hundreds to thousands of meaningless points. I find out that they tend to be uptight assholes.
The Hivemind Complexity.
I say that because it is a collective process that exist in a large amount of online communities, Lemmy and the Fediverse being no different. People online are way too used to having thoughts of theirs being parroted. Then comes the constructs of all of these karma systems for people to vote said thoughts of and that creates a level of its own discourse that, people will say or do things for some validity based on that.
And anyone else who comes along that thinks or says different than the seeming majority, are scrutinized, bullied and branded to be moderated.
Everyone is just too used to being around others who agree with them.
That happens to me when I decide to change jobs.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why do people hate on cosmetic surgeries so much?
21·2 days agoFor me it is just manipulating your natural beauty. Hollywood conditions nearly all women that they must look attractive or risk losing roles that exist only based on attractiveness. So you see actresses like Kate Beckingsale or Lindsay Lohan doing this for some roles.
It’s different than needing to get rid of loose skin from losing a lot of weight.

memes@lemmy.world•You can shove that lightsaber deep up in your Death Star.
1·2 days agoIt’s pretty sad that some of the best, least acclaimed anyways, storytelling was buried into those shows. While everyone else at the time were trying to find them in big-budgeted movie versions and some of the books that got released that ended up being wiped into the ‘Legends’ category by Disney.

memes@lemmy.world•You can shove that lightsaber deep up in your Death Star.
2·2 days agoIt’s a vicious cycle between rabid fans, the creators of the IPs, the outsiders (i.e corporate entities) that have long infected all of them.
I’m tired of reboots, I’m tired of made-up characters that seemingly are shat out from some kid’s imagination but it’s from an actual adult (like difference in the creative department) who only exist just to one-up the already established character. I’m tired of power-level debates that just melts your brain to numbness when trying to even engage in because they all vary wildly. I’m tired of meaningless arguments as to what origin, what canon or whatever is the real timeline of some character because they always change depending on who the hell is writing them.
It’s all gotten entirely tiresome and convoluted.

memes@lemmy.world•You can shove that lightsaber deep up in your Death Star.
1·2 days agoThat’s sounding like Spider-Man: Brand New Day. It technically is just yet another reboot, but a “soft reboot”. Reboot is a reboot nonetheless.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do you think shapes someone’s views on monogamy and non-monogamy?
1·2 days agoRelationship Experiences.
I know for certain that I prefer monogamy because I like the idea of having a sense of belonging to someone exclusively and for us to have a closed-off relationship in which we can enjoy eachother.
I’m only okay with polyamory but its very limited and I don’t think a lot of boundaries would be respected. Someone is going to feel like they want more than they can actually have and it’ll disrupt the entire function of that relationship. I’m quite wary on the idea of being in polyamory relationships for this very reason.

Games@lemmy.world•Epic boss Tim Sweeney thinks stores like Steam should stop labelling games as being made with AI: 'It makes no sense,' he says, because 'AI will be involved in nearly all future production
10·2 days agoTim’s strategy seems to be “Whatever Valve drops, we take because we feel Valve is missing out on something BIG! It’ll make US look great!”
And while the sad truth of the matter could very well be a maybe, depending on how the pure-epic userbase are over there towards it, it still pales to everything Steam has been built to be.

Games@lemmy.world•Saudi Arabia's investment fund reported to be limiting new investments as cash runs low
31·3 days agoOh are they finally running out of that oil money they’re known for?
If so, good, stop throwing your damn weight around and contaminate whatever you touch.

Games@lemmy.world•Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games)
30·3 days agoWhen I want to quit your game, I mean it.
I do not want to be prompted several times as attempts to keep me in the game when I just want to leave.
flamiera@kbin.melroy.orgto
memes@lemmy.world•Congrats on living long enough to complain about it
1·3 days agoBy the way, you may never know if spanking your kids ends up turning them either into boiling teapots ready to blow or someone who may later be into it a little too much to be a porn star. Never know.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•I went to a grocery store in the morning that I normally go to at night and they had dimmed lights, soft music, as well as no sounds coming from the cash registers
2·3 days agoYou’re on the money with this one.
ADHD, Depression and Anxiety is stupid common for this very reason. People self-diagnose themselves all of the time, too afraid to go to therapists because maybe there’s a good chance that the therapist might tell them that they’re wrong and over-blowing themselves about what they think they have.
I sympathize with actual mental health sufferers, who have had their care stalled and stagnated, because a lot of these self-diagnosing types are blurring the lines.
Then when you try educating the fakers, out come the accusations that you “hate people who suffer mentally” and that “you don’t understand.”
Oh we do, we’re waiting for you to finally come around!


What a megalomaniac.
Yeah he’s inspired by a system which country banned it and yet he still wants it?
