The exact same thing was said about Reddit execs like Huffman. They never cared enough to compromise. We'll see if the Unity execs are similarly terrible people, whose greed will destroy the company. Seems like the trend these days.

I'm going to have to protest the fact that my cat's top two strategies of "throwing up" and "covertly pooping (for maximum smellz)" are not available.

That's... actually not a bad idea? Fleeing would solve as many problems for the country as anything. Would love to see him run to Putin or Kim or some other dictator idol; One for the history books! Unfortunately, he'll probably need more humiliation and losing to get to that point.

Hold on, maybe I've figured it out. Endless magical profits, here I come!

Step 4. Be ultra-wealthy. (Bonus for not paying taxes.) Step 5. Do anything. (Bonus for pretending it's profitable.)

How dare you. No, this one. (Really, though. It's been a while and I wanted to see it again, happy to be of service.)

I never thought about this at the time. It was all just shocking and frankly pathetic. Didn't realize the men had the least at stake, while women had the most, but were not allowed to join the fight. Many men probably didn't care or even resented the "changes". (Women's rights. Sounds familiar. MAGA?) Unwilling to put up any kind of fight for that kind of future for their partners and daughters.

I wonder what most Afghan women think of these men now. And if joining the military was ever a realistic possibility, and could have changed the result.

Republicans like Abbott went on Fox News and blamed windmills for the storm outage. The party is very different than they were when these projects started, when economics mattered. Texas politics may still accidentally allow a select few progressive things to happen, but the builders and owners must be extremely "friendly" and perfectly thread the needle. Oil and gas owns this state, including the windmills, probably.

Is fish considered meat?

We’re not sure what this all means for the fish sticks from deep in the freezer aisle, but from a definitions-based perspective, a fish out of water sure appears to be meat.

I actually like cars. (They're... "cool". I play Forza sometimes, lol.) But the reality is they're fucking expensive to maintain, along with insurance and taxes and fuel. And very much not fun to drive under normal circumstances, next to removeds and idiots. And terrible for the environment, at absurd US numbers at least.

I'd rather save thousands of dollars and have public transit or easily maintained bike. But bikes are not viable when planet is trying to kill us (Texas is 100-110 °F for 2 months straight now).

His crusade just cost Alabama a nice new military HQ. Genius. Congrats Colorado.

It's almost as if she was conveniently placed at her exact position without actually being qualified.

I wanted to stay with World. But they are literally constantly having severe problems (errors, voting, comments). Gave them many chances. I'm sorry World, but I probably would abandon Lemmy if I had to stay, it's just not an enjoyable experience.

Maybe it's not even possible to keep a large (targeted) instance working with current limitations and tools? Hope they figure it out. I'm rooming with Stux at Geddit, he's cool. So many cats...
