Oooh, funny that wasn't mentioned by either the tweet or OP. That's a significant factor.

While he's the fucking president they have to deal with the asshole, so they use kid gloves because he's a fucking fragile egg. You don't get a stupid asshole to do the things you want them to do by being belligerent with them. You handle them. You cajole and you flatter and then you basically ignore every opinion that comes out of the dumb mouth. Which is exactly how most of the G-7 and the EU handles Trump.

Meloni is just another belligerent asshole. She hasn't the brainpower to handle Trump. Especially while she's treading her own political waters so badly.

And yet that cunt still got elected president. America the racist.

It's patently obvious to anyone with a functioning brain that this was neglect and/or incompetence. There is no way to "cause" an algae bloom in an adequately maintained pool or fountain in the amount of time between when it was "taken care of" by Trump's wealthy friend and contributor and when it turned green with algae. Then again most of MAGA could be considered mentally handicapped IMO. So most of his mouth breathing followers will nod along and think "Yeah, must be them libtards dun sabotaged it".

And yet, she's 95 and has survived cancer multiple times...

Because most of the people on Lemmy are refugees from reddit and nowadays on reddit, if you are not a porn focused sub then they require you to censor every damn thing or face getting banned from that particular subreddit, getting banned from several subreddits depending on who's modding and how many subs they are modding and how fucking stupid their bots happen to be, or getting banned from the entire site by the admins on their particular whim for that day/week.

Computer I built 15 years ago is just now showing up as minimum requirements on most of the games. It's called future proofing. If you're going to spend the money to build a computer build something that can last.

I don't think this was uranium glass but a glass vial of uranium that was likely a part of those Atomic Lab kits they sold to kids in the 1940's and 50's.

Bahahahahahah!!!!

Such simpletons. I use the term File Name Category, since "folders" and "directories" are just a fancy way of referring to longer file names used to sort files. You would think someone using linux would understand this.

I use Arch BTW. 🎩

Just read the Princess of Mars (or John Carter of Mars depending on how you wanna look at it) series by Edgar Rice Borroughs. Literally everyone is naked and doing crazy superhuman shit.

I'm actually kicking myself a little bit. I was having some trouble with my processor and decided to get a replacement and I got a one-to-one replacement and I actually should have gotten the absolute limit of what my motherboard was capable of handling. I didn't do that and now my computer is just shy of being able to run Diablo 4. 😒

Future proofing does not require you to shell out a ton of money. I spent less than $1,000 building my machine back in 2012, buying each part individually as I went when I could save up the money. And I didn't actually put the thing together until 2016 or so cause my previous machine was working fine at the time. (Still is actually, as a file server in my basement) It just takes a modicum of planning and research on compatibility and what technologies are being used in cutting edge games and programs.

Or, I should say it did. Nowadays everything has become so stupid expensive because of the race to the bottom AI Data center bullshit corporate destruction of the retail market. Though, I kind of saw this coming and bought a whole mess of parts right after Trump was elected so that I can build a decent machine to use once the one I have is no longer viable. Which I have not reached yet...

NATO is not supplying anything to Ukraine. I don't think you understand what NATO actually is. If Ukraine was actually part of NATO, Russia would have to immediately back off because that would add the nuclear deterrent Ukraine needs to stop the invasion, because NATO is a nuclear alliance. If any one country is attacked, all the other countries would retaliate. That is why Zelenskyy wanted Ukraine to be part of NATO and why he said that if Ukraine were to be allowed to join he would resign as president immediately. However they are continually rebuffed because seven nations, including the United States and Germany, are blocking their accession to NATO.

I downloaded it only so I could enjoy the Radiohead virtual exhibition experience "Kid Amnesiac".

But that is literally the only thing I would bother with.

From ...from us.

They ain't buying, they're selling.

I'm old enough to remember the last time they raised the minimum wage. (In case you're wondering, it was 2007. And it went from $5.15 to $7.25.)

Slim margins are what they want. They're fine with this. Democratic party is just controlled opposition and nothing will change if they come into power.

No shit 😒🫩
