It depends on their settings, but some people limit connections to friends and their friends' connections, so I think it's 3 degrees is the usual setting, bit can be set to 2 degrees.

Mom, I told you that you can only be on the internet for 30 minutes a day, and that can only be on Facebook.

Look at you, on Lemmy? You're gonna let the communists win like that? Look what they did to you! You're basically a tankie now!

Now go get Dad from the garage and tell him about about how the gay chemtrail frogs edited Jeffry Epstein's flight logs.

Meanwhile, I can take a 20kg LPG tank on a donkey most anywhere on earth and let it sit for months before I use it.

I'm not evangelizing fossil fuels here, but I am pushing back because they are an underappreciated energy resource we tale for granted. They make hugely concentrated amounts of immediately available energy potable.

I highly recommend the book When Trucks Stop Running by Alice Friedmann. You'll never know how profoundly modern society hand trapped itself until you see if by the numbers.

When you find another way to transport that much energy, that doesn't always need to be directly connected to infrastructure, to us with such a high ROI, you'll be famous and rich because you'll have solved the world's energy crisis.

Y'all, hundreds of people die every year from accidental carbon monoxide poisoning, and tens of thousands are hospitalized annually. Weird Al Yankovic lost his elderly parents to CO poisoning in April 2004. It's winter time and Santa Fe is at 7,000 ft (2130 m) of elevation. Please don't rush to blame and conspiracy.

It's not "falling apart." It's being intentionally dismantled.

Rubio's statement at his conformation hearing was basically "the Post WWII order isn't working for us, so we're ending it."

If you read the bill, heavily sponsored by the MPA, part of it is about forcing ISPs (and presumably US based VPNs) to block the DNS/URLs of "foreign criminal" sites.

It's laying the groundwork for a Great American Firewall.

I spent a decade living around Africa, and this kind of thinking is common. DDT was what everyone put on the tomatoes because pests mean loss of food. Who wants that?

Lack of relations is only about living in short-term survival thinking 24/7. Long term effects mean nothing.

OP, this is absolutely a Google Translate image of a French ABC book into English.

Arbre is tree

Cheval is horse

Etoille is star

Vache is cow

Gateau is cake

Roue is wheel

Edit: le typo

You're missing that this is a loyalty test.

It's not about finding out this info. It's about finding out who is willing to be the Reek in all the new House Bolton-style fiefdoms. That's why people only have 10 days to rat out colleagues, they want lists of trustworthy loyalists by the time mid-tier appointees get into the office.

I genuinely can't believe that there is any overlap at all with the maybe 500 people who actually listened to his speech or even read an article summarizing it and those who don't know what the meaning of "oligarchy" is.

How does anyone get engaged enough in the political process to watch a speech from Biden and not recall Bernie Sanders saying this every day of his life for the last 30 years?

It's not even that.

The technology never, ever works as well as it's hyped. It's a sales ploy, not a feature.

The purpose is always data collection, and the data is always leaked.

Vulnerabilities and the progression of tech make these kinds of bells and whistles age out of practical use faster, costing the consumer more over the long run.

F this kind of noise in particular, this is not progress.
