I’d be willing to bet that all news that doesn’t involve right wing nut jobs screwing up various countries has dropped by 14%.

World News@lemmy.ml•‘Textbook definition of terrorism’: Tehran denounces Pelosi’s call for US to exact ‘pain’ on ordinary Iranians
19·3 months agoAge and term limits for congress, please!
Because the post specified code from 1969.
Fortran 66 isn’t too bad. You have to write everything yourself but if you’re just maintaining it is normally fine. Gotos get annoying, though!

politics @lemmy.world•Trump admin removes MLK Day, Juneteenth from National Parks fee-free days
1·5 months agoI disagree that this is the way forward. I want to see criminal prosecutions. If that results in violence so be it. I won’t support violence, though.
That said, I’m supremely disappointed in the willingness of democrats to persue impeachments and prosecutions.
While it’s possible that violence is required to solve our current problems, I still hold hope that we can solve things another way.

2·5 months agoI honestly think that if that were to happen we would end up in a much worse situation. He would become a martyr and the republicans who are starting to see the light would go rage blind.

532·5 months agoI agree with you that this should be illegal. I expect this was in the terms of service, though. Since we have no laws restricting this kind of bullshit, the company can argue that they’re within their rights.
We need some real legislation around privacy. It’s never going to happen, but it needs to. We need a right to anonymity but that is too scary for advertisers and our police state.

politics @lemmy.world•How progressives are taking over swing states – and driving fear into Democratic elites
61·5 months agoI think most democrats have been voting for democrats while wishing they were more left. Voting for democrats hasn’t been about liking the candidates. It’s been more about disliking the opposing candidates.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt's relative detained by ICEEnglish
4·6 months agoOh, I have no doubt that the Leavitt’s might use ICE as a weapon against someone inconvenient. The article makes nothing clear, though.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt's relative detained by ICEEnglish
18·6 months agoMaybe not even that. Former girlfriend of Leavitt’s brother? Former one-night-stand of Leavitt’s brother? The article is unclear in a way that is either purposeful or ignorant. I’m not sure which.
I guess you need reading skills in addition to social skills. Again, I didn’t say that I camp in the middle lane. I get frustrated by those who do. I just gave what I assume to be the logic used by people who do camp in the middle lane.
Go watch yourself masturbate in a mirror so you can give misery to someone who deserves it.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt's relative detained by ICEEnglish
442·6 months agoThe woman is Leavitt’s nephew’s mother but is estranged from her child. She has no real relationship to Leavitt.
The real story here is that she was a DACA kid with one arrest for battery, the legal outcome of which is unclear. Obviously “the worst of the worst”.
I didn’t say I do that. I’m the guy getting frustrated behind them. I also don’t go around calling strangers cunts you fucking asshole.
Edit: Oh, I see, from your comment history it seems that you’re just a miserable cunt yourself. Maybe go work on your people skills.
I think the logic is that they’re not in the left lane so there is room to go around, and they’re not in the right lane so they don’t need to work to manage merges every time there is an on-ramp. The middle lane is a safe middle-ground where you’re safe from most merges and where you shouldn’t annoy the faster traffic too much.
Why do these dumb fucks pretend they haven’t seen the video? They always do this if they don’t want to address an issue. They say “well, I have been busy and haven’t heard the MOST IMPORTANT NEWS OF THE DAY” as though it’s okay to be grossly uninformed. As though their staffers didn’t bring it to their attention immediately. They treat us like morons. It’s just too bad so many of us are…





Now, get some electrical tape and tape up those connections nice and thick so they’re safe.
