Gently down the stream.

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,

Life is but a dream.

Huge? UAE’s blood is oil. It’s a capital of eastern luxury and one of remaining monarchies because they sell oil. They are still a partner to everyone in spite of murdering journalists and whoever they dislike - because they sell oil. They build these absurd skyscapers, ski resorts in a desert, all their places are extremely air-conditioned to be tourists-friendly, all thanks to selling oil. Even including them there is an embarassment, because they grew up that vulgarly unsustainable thanks to oil money. It reads like an Onion article.

It’s IT wages and being able to take a break and think about oneself. When Twitter was called Twitter and I’ve been there, the core population of trans, lgbt+, kink, furry, whatever communities were those who could afford a brief moment to think about themselves, these later magnfied other folks who aren’t as well-off. Being gay or trans is natural as our science says, but understanding you are gay or trans means you have enough time, resources, safety to even discover you are one, not to say about presenting as one in public. Tech persons have a natural advantage here over a doordash delivery guy, but as they show it’s possible, many poorer persons show up too. And it’s not a coincidence Lemmy is popular in these communities, as it’s not only a tech-gated space, it’s also a promising safe space where they can be whoever they want without social pressure.

Some series have a weird pattern of deletion.

LA Ink | Season 1

LA Ink | Season 6

LA Ink | Season 7

Lolwut. Does it mean 2-5 are still availiable or they never were?

It’s all Discovery Channel’s properties, and it’s a good day to rewatch their classics and seed them.

That’s why they are so fit and resourceful. Imagine carrying every IF statement by hand.

I remembered this catchy d’n’b track from Coldcut&Qemists: Atomic Moog.

Is it oldschool and ‘was’ already? Seems like I’ve missed the mark when I got old.

Anyway, here’s another one, both were featured in the co-op racing game Blur: sh.itjust.works/post/10285441

The designer’s one is Kanye because he can’t escape it. The boring meme one is Elon because Elon.

One of these would be over-designed to communicate that he doesn’t care, the other would be an unfunny demotivator about how The Left can’t stand him.

I upvote for visibility, downvote for being rude. It’s not entirely me agreeing or disagreeing. Sometimes I upvote a person I argue with because I see this argument and their effort valuable to the community and want others ro see it, same with posts.

I too took my speeds for granted before I learnt many people I know have a cable connection worse than mobile. It’s 2023, in a big city. How does it make sense?

What I dislike about all these services is all of them have their own app\UI, many of them are awful and take time to figure out. There are plenty of refined software solutions for playing music and videos, they have plugins you can put your DRM overseer in, they exist for decades. Yet every one of them see their mission in reinventing the bycicle once again. I want my experience and my hotkeys to be consistent, to have the same quality whatever I consume. The only way to achieve that is to invest the same money into a big hard drive and then leech and seed.

These commercial, proprietary games are one of the things that pushes forward the capabilities of personal computers. They are unreasonable, unoptimized resource-hogs. If a Linux system is as capable of running them as a proprietary OS (that has a deck stacked in it’s favor), it means they lose one another advantage over Linux. And it also means that your hardware now is more productive at less bs tasks, especially consumer-grade nvidia cards, who are better supported now than years ago.

They can track other species by smell at least. If that path is used by too many and smells like a farm, they would probably get used to hang around it naturally.

Don’t worry, just shit more. Once you get your rectals used to it, it’d come off naturally.

That one didn’t feel funny because of a long list of categories, and then a list of coursive paragraphs. It was long and I couldn’t find a place to react on.

You either keep them short, or intentionally drag them this long providing the reason - maybe, a legit-looking derangement. Once it gets boring it stops to be read as a joke or an absurd statement, but as a genuine position of someone not touching a piece of grass in their lifetime.

Be well fellow human.

Just after writing that, I’ve found an example of a wild derangement that just keeps going: lemmy.world/comment/5549733

(0) Pick a cart.

(1) Kick the troubled wheel off if there are at least two, otherwise skip to 4. (2) Then discover one of the others is the worst one now. (3) Go to 1.

(4) Go to 0.

(5) You singlehandedly destroyed the local cart infrastructure and remebered that you didn’t actually need anything.
