Cry me a river. Clinton had a plan to retrain and retool these coal towns your describing into productive green energy leaders and they rejected it because she eats babies and wind farms kill birds, or whatever. They are totally irrational and I'm not going to keep pretending otherwise. The real government failure is lack of education spending and critical thinking skills (thanks GOP) that is going to take generations to correct.

Edit: I'll add there are sparks of "hope" in rural america now that farmers are seeing the impacts of climate change effecting their yields, I think they are starting to come around. Probably too late, but it's something...

Maybe let's just not go there? Tis a silly place.

I welcome new members, the fediverse can always use more contributors! Be polite!

The wives of my friend group unanimously decided they straight up weren't taking part in July 4th until their bodily autonomy and right to care is restored. It sucked not having a cookout but I can't say I blame them in the slightest.

The best app :(

Fun side effect if I accidentally click a reddit link from Google or whatever, it opens the app to an empty screen instead of giving reddit traffic! I'll keep it installed as a free blacklist tool 🤣

Sooo no digital, what about phone calls? Are judges signing wiretap warrants for abortion investigations? What the fuck.

Every pixel is another +1 interaction on the site to pump their engagement numbers. Might not be direct views, but they are using r/place to offset the audience engagement losses over the monthly average. Spez is buying time before the summaries hit the board's desks.

People say what about the car, what about the mental state, what about the team... And I say I'm just damn happy to see the honey badger get another shot. Give them hell Danny!

Just want to point out reddit was open source, and built on top open source software. Techie weirdos built that community and the masses came along later. I expect we'll see the same around here for a while, but people will contribute what they want to contribute.. infosec and oss is pretty niche, I suspect it'll be out grown eventually.

90 year mortgage? Wait a minute - that's just a bank-owned rental, that you pay to upkeep? Lmfao.

Half expecting him to have his RB jacket on overtop of this lol

Speak for yourself asshole, the most vulnerable populations among us are waiting for you to do your jobs. Typical GOP "The govt doesn't work and elect us to prove it" BS

Insomnia has that classic postman feel, but personally I switched to hurl ( https://hurl.dev/ ) I really like how simple it is once it's setup.

Wish I had a use for one. Really cool hardware

Hm looks like each game takes ~2x time to complete and release the next, thus we can accurately estimate that GTA7 should be out around 2044, Just in time for my grandkids to enjoy it!

I don't agree that he caused it, but much like Russian election interference, his choices and actions were nearly indistinguishable from ones a pro-COVID death cult leader would have made.

Zero chance they rejoin without being granted the same exceptions they had previously, and equally zero chance of the EU allowing that to happen. Ya done fucked yourselves, UK.

We didn't start the fire..

"Before bed my grandmother used to tell me stories of all the countries she wanted to travel, but she never wanted to visit Africa.."

Lmao worth a shot.

Impossible to say, there is no easy or immediate fix that I can imagine. I've basically accepted the underlying threat of fascism is something we are going to be dealing with for the rest of our time on the planet. Continue to vote to keep fascists off the levers of power, continue to protest whenever they have the levers, and pray the wheels of justice ground finely for enemies of democracy. Perhaps our kids or grandkids will find themselves in a better situation for their times...
