Political Memes@lemmy.world•Media uncovers reports that Graham Platner has ANOTHER tattoo
43·5 days agoY’all think it’s funny that dude had a Nazi tattoo? Like that’s not relevant? Am I stupid for considering that a giant red flag? Do you think his excuse about not knowing his nazi tattoo was a nazi tattoo is credible? Would you accept that from Pete Hegseth?
People who call themselves anti-fascist should have higher standards. We should recognize that people subjected to fascist violence might view white dudes with Nazi tattoos a little differently. And those people might view white leftests differently knowing that anti-fascism and anti-racism is fungible.
So go ahead and down-vote me, but remember this the next time you’re vexed about why Bernie Sanders struggled with black voters. Leftests have a credibility problem in some communities and shit like this is why.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•People who have worked in customer service: Did you ever get hit with a "Do you know who I am!?" Did you in fact know who they were?

The kid in my school had a special prototype that displayed the Nintendo on the windshield for the passenger of a car. I’ve been waiting 35 years for that product to hit the shelves.
It’s ironic that you can’t resist using misogynistic language even as you deny misogyny was a factor.
Imagine someone denying race was a factor while calling her the nword.

This sounds exactly like a solution from a useless middle-manager. Keep the faith.
It’s true that nihilism cannot justify any action. Remember that when someone says that somebody did something “because” they’re nihilist.
The truth is that nihilists aren’t upset about the lack of meaning; it doesn’t matter that it doesn’t matter. Everybody constructs their own meaning, nihilists just acknowledge that.
It doesn’t have to be high tech. Sometimes plain glass is installed and later applications, etchings, or abrasions are added for privacy.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Astronomers seek global ban on space advertisingEnglish
81·7 days agoIf we ban space advertising, then only criminals will be able to advertise in space.
What we need to fight bad advertisers in space is good advertisers in space.
This could be solved if we only allowed astronauts to conceal-carry ad-copy.
(I like to use gun arguments out of context, because it emphasizes how dumb they are.)
I’m apologize. I didn’t mean to insult a SPECIES TREASURE.
How could I have guessed a people should be so culturally impoverished? America produced jazz, blues, and rock and roll: I should check my privilege.
This is disrespectful to Satan. I mean the man invented Jazz to corrupt the youth and you think he’s wasting his time with dumb-ass boomer blues-rock? What a downgrade, no wonder Satan hates Christians.
There are plenty of Republicans that pretend to be folksy morons. Tuberville is the genuine article.
I knew a person who was released from prison. They spent the first three knights sleeping in a closet because they just didn’t feel comfortable unless they were confined.
Seeing a Copilot shortcut on GNOME reminds me of that.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some words that you have or had troubles spelling and made up funny ways to help remember them?
41·8 days agoI can’t spell anything without a dictionary or, these days a spell check. I usually know where the vowels go, so I cycle through them until the word “looks” right, or the red squiggle goes away.
I don’t like grammerly bc I know how to write, it’s just the spelling that vexes me.
This is still more rational than the original Senate, and the modern Senate.
It’s really dishonest to describe the un-freezing of funds and sanctions relief as “giving” Iran money.
It’s no wonder that the Obama and Trump deals would be similar, since it’s the same countries, with the same leverage, and all the same goals.
We shouldn’t adopt the language of people who believe diplomacy is worthless. Instead we should be pointing out that the bombs and missiles didn’t seem to help much.
There is a known phenomena among some E Asian living in America to learn English so thoroughly that they loose the accent. The problem is that their English is too good; their diction becomes the accent that gives them away.
It’s almost impossible to pass as a native speaker without years of immersion in the culture.
The terminally online debate-me-bro brand of atheism.
It’s always been curious to me that you can define yourself by something that your not. I’m also vexed why an atheist would proselytize. They’re not saving souls or capturing 10%. What’s the motivation? And please don’t say it’s because atheists are better people. Because all the famous “new” atheists were regular cast members on Epstein Island and the whole movement had deep ties to the alt-right and Gamergate.
I’m not saying they’re wrong, I’m saying they’re obnoxious, belligerent, and annoying. To be clear, I’m atheist. That’s half the problem. These MFers are making me look bad.
The house band slaps tho.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Can someone who works in an industry or for an employer with clear negative impacts on society/the world maintain a clear concience?
7·11 days agoYou can’t solve systems by focusing on individuals.
None of us a free moral agents. We’re surrounded by systems of family, culture, and law that compel and coerce us. And all of that is built in to the signifiers “employment” and “labor”. It’s incoherent to slice off a traunch of all these interconnected systems, strip it of all context, and pretend it’s a free moral choice.
Changing systems requires collective action. Individuals are weak and the Western obsession with individualism is no coincidence.


$300 for a PC speaker? Madness.
