That’s funny, I constantly hear people complaining about the opposite sentiment from the .ml community. It’s a very common complaint around Lemmy that the ‘tankies’ from .ml defend Russia. So, it’s weird to hear someone say that saying negative things about Russia is somehow ‘.ml behavior’.
If you want transportation with fire, ride a dragon.
Username checks out. I see you everywhere, and your comments often make me happy.
I definitely agree with you that cars are terrible, and I wish they didn’t exist. Even though I’m a hater, I gotta admit the engineering and history behind them fascinates me, still.
When you break it down, yeeting a small piece of metal, accurately, up to a mile, through the use of handheld controlled explosions, is way cooler than just yeeting a pointy stick with another stick and a string. So, I am inclined to agree with you.
From an engineering standpoint, firearms are so much more fascinating.
Not necessarily.
Crazy! I had no idea these existed. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.
I just remember an old airforce pilot telling me that he thought helicopter pilots had more balls than jet pilots, because if something goes wrong, helicopter pilots gotta go down with the ship. So, I figured that they didn’t exist at all.
Hey shrub, FWIW I think the world is better with people like you in it. Take care of yourself, please, and I hope life treats you as well as it can. If you ever need someone to talk to or anything, this internet stranger’s door is always open.
I know this is a joke, but helicopters don’t have ejection seats. If they did, they would just eject the pilot into the rotors and turn them into confetti.
i agree, this method would never work. There are plenty of pairs of enemies that are both on the spectrum. My bully in high school had ADHD, just like me.
Some pro lifers, especially the religious kind, would count the morning after pill as an abortion. Catholics come to mind first.
Abortion is a horrible medical procedure when you think about it.
Abortion could be a horrible medical procedure in rare cases, but in the vast majority It’s not. Nobody is aborting viable fetuses that are able to live on their own, except in very extreme cases where both the mother is going to die, and the child can’t be saved by out of womb care. In those cases, it is horrible, but necessary, and no one is willingly going through that. The vast majority of abortions involve a pill and a clump of cells.
we are horrible people that make it necessary
Abortions save lives. Many cases of abortion involve women who would die without one. Nature is the only ‘horrible’ thing that makes it necessary.
Abortions also keep unwanted children from being born, which many would argue is a worse fate than being aborted. This one can be blamed mostly on the horrible state of the world, and the carelessness of people (I wouldn’t ever refer to anyone as horrible for simply going through with an abortion, and actually see it as a selfless and empathetic act in most cases). Again, these kind of voluntary abortions are never being performed anywhere near or after the point in time that the fetus could be considered a living being, though.
I just now realized that they had professional scumbag, Danny ‘Rapist’ Masterson play the rapey douchebag in the first scene, too. Sometimes life is stranger than fiction.
Yea, I’m a millenial, and I remember mostly only interacting with old Macintosh LCs in elementary school, and then Windows 95 and up after that. My uncle had an old Tandy computer running DOS, that I remember at least learning how to run a game on, but by the time I was interacting with a computer, regularly, Windows 95 and AOL were the most common thing.
Usenet is awesome, but the fact that you have to pay for Usenet access defeats the main purpose of pirating for a lot of people.
Don’t get me wrong, it is super cheap(60$-100$/year?) and worth it to pay for Usenet from what I understand, but as a poor kid that discovered torrenting out of necessity, paying for Usenet back then would’ve been out of the question. I imagine a lot of Gen Z kids feel the same about it at this point in their lives.
Oof. Glad to hear you are okay, and hope your muscle strain feels better soon.
Well then, let the pitchforks come out. What a huge piece of shit. Glad he’s being charged, and hopefully the sentence isn’t too light.
Really appreciate the update!
There is a screamo scene made up of gen z kids that seems to be rising in popularity. Check out a band called Catalyst… if you want to get an idea of what they are doing. Its actually really good stuff, and reminds me of the underground emo/screamo scene back in the late 90s/early 2000s.
Yep, this is coming from the most ‘leftist’ candidates we are allowed to vote for. Pretty fucked up options we get to choose from. I hate it here.
Karl Marx praised capitalism as an upgrade from feudalism, and for it’s effect on the advancement of technology. It’s obvious that capitalism was a step up from feudalism, but that’s not the point.
The point is that capitalism eventually evolves to a stage where it is worse for civilization as a whole, than it is beneficial, and we are at that stage now(have been for a long time). We are depleting all of the Earth’s resources at a very unsustainable rate, and wealth inequality is back to the point where it was with feudalism, if not worse.
You brought up a good point that no one is asking for a return to past systems. We are looking to evolve to a system that will sustain us as a species, long term. Some people can’t understand that Capitalism won’t work forever, and it will eventually destroy us. We have had smart people telling us this for hundreds of years now, too.
So many explicitly racist movements have also been explicitly capitalist.
Probably forgot an ‘anti’ in there, judging by the rest of your comment, but your typo is very right.
I see now. I think I was confused because it looked like you replied to the comment that you were agreeing with, but you were referring to the comment above that one as the .ml account. My bad.
