I’m so happy I got married before romance was “disrupted” by tech bros.

I don’t know why anyone would use any of these apps.

I would basically assume that 99% of all messages were scams of some kind.

Several capsules are designed to effectively and safely land on land.

For cultural reasons, it probably developed as a valuable tribal in-grouping check.

How do we know for sure you are one of us and not a spy or an infiltrator… Well, if you are an ancient Tribal Jewish person you have a special trick to prove you are in the group.

Almost all “hacks” of modern mainstream software involve users being stupid.

If you hear about a “hack” of a major corporation or hospital or something, the things that is never reported is that it likely started with someone with more user permissions than sense opening a phishing email.

Their desire for dopamine kicks from pointless thumbs up numbers from strangers online is more powerful than their desire to not support Nazis.

But I do find it funny how Lemmy people will one jerk down vote anything that causes them any minor about it cognitive dissidence.

Never stopped.

When did progressives get all “Got mine first!”

I mean the selfish carelessness of progressives today is really astonishing.

If your job sucks so bad because you have to make the most minor accommodations for your co-workers families, then just quit your job. Like, you have no responsibilities and nothing holding you back. What’s your problem?

Did you know that parents also would like to go to the dentist?

“I need to run out early to take my kids to the dentist.”

“I need to run out early to… Well nothing. I have no other actual responsibilities. I just want to leave.”

Sorry, but not the same things.

The biggest difference is that the state is still controlled by the federal government. If it wasn’t subservient to the US Federal government then a lot of things about it would have to change.

It would be a completely different place. I imagine it would closely resemble a Christian version of Turkey in a lot of ways.

It looks like you are trying to adjust the user settings. Would you like to RTFM?

“They” are not.

It’s just one dude and that’s not going anywhere. It would require agreement of not only New Mexico (which is a non starter) and the federal government, which is equally not going to happen.

If Texas became it’s own nation, it would probably become a cross between Russia and Switzerland. It would quickly develop a highly centralized oligarchy, basically operating off of oil and gas exports, while still having good relationships with it’s larger neighbors and have beneficial tax policies.

It would become a great safe place for super rich people to hide money while it’s actual population declines economically.

They look at you like that because they know, right now, you are young and feel invincible. And you practically are.

But they know that you won’t be forever. And they know that you are missing an opportunity to prepare for the second half of your life because you are living to the fullest now.

And they know that it’s your choice to make.
