  • To me, an ignorant person who has only begun to seriously question capitalism after being exposed to lemmy for about a year, this visual analogy seems to imply that capitalism and fascism are thought to be distinct in the eyes of the maker of this meme, though. I think the suggestion of having them both be homelander conveys a different message which seems to be the consensus here: they are different sides of the same coin.

    Admittedly, I'm out of my element here but I'm enjoying the exposure.

  • I lost some respect for jables here, the way he's seemingly throwing Kage under the bus.. But at the same time I can recognise that JB has always tried to keep up a positive persona. Not apolitical but he's never been the type to promote violence directed at specific people. Kyle did him kinda dirty by doing something to potentially harm that (assuming he was truthful when he said he was blindsided by it, and not just saying that after it blew up in the news).

    Not saying Kyle is wrong and Jack is right here, though. I've always felt a little bad for Kyle that Jack put tenacious D and therefore Kyle on the sidelines when his Hollywood career took off. Kyle was rightfully quite jaded about that and I wouldn't be surprised if that's led him to doing this without considering the possible consequences for Jack.

    The whole thing sucks for both of them, I guess.

  • All they're saying is that water treatment costs money. Not that you should buy nestle stolen and bottled water...

  • I went through so much lip balm over the course of a year while taking isotretinoin. Miraculous how well it works though. The acne hasn't returned since finishing the treatment a year ago.

  • This is the exact reason people tell you you're wrong when you say "I don't have anything to hide" in the face of anti-privacy laws.

    If you have used your ID to access porn sites they already have you on the list. You've put yourself on it, even. If Project 2025 succeeds in criminalizing porn users then guess what? You're on the list to get arrested and shipped off to prison to go be a slave productive countryman.

  • The appeal of iDubbz back in the content cop days was that it was unfiltered and gritty. I never much cared for the jackass style shock factor things he did together with filthy Frank but he was the king of burning down vapid youtube one-day-wonders like ricegum.

    It has a huge "you had to be there" factor nowadays though in my opinion. I have never felt compelled to go back and rewatch anything because it just doesn't seem to fit into this era of the internet.

  • Off the top of my head: right click the task and hit end process. That has literally never failed me. Back in windows XP it might sometimes not actually kill the process but then there was always the "kill process tree" button to fall back on.

  • So, nobody got paid to make that.

  • The point of that meme as I took it is to illustrate the uncertainty women face when it comes to the intentions of (strange) men. The bear, an actual killer, at least is predictable. Not a criticism of your hot take btw, just sharing my thoughts on this meme.

  • I don't remember a friends episode about this either. I do remember it being on how I met your mother though so possibly the person you're replying to was thinking of that.

  • I work in microbiology and only recently learned it's actually a fungus.

    Disclaimer: I'm sure I've learned about it in the parasitology classes I've had but that was 15 years ago and since then I've been in bacteriology and sequencing.

  • I ragequit the puzzles on the rockstar captcha. Incredibly infuriating. I was reminded of the famous greentext from way back predicting we'd have to drink a verification can of mountain dew and for a moment that seemed less insane than the reality of these impossible puzzles. Had to get someone to help me solve them after cooling off for a moment.

  • Sounds familiar. Are you on an alienware AW3423DWF by any chance? Because if so there's a fix for having 165hz with hdr by manually setting up a custom resolution to enable it.

  • Last I played (couple weeks ago) insurance didn't cost anything. At some point it'll cost in game credits but right now there's no insurance premium. You can spend some credits to expidite the return timer if you can spare it.

  • What? The point of star citizen is exactly that kind of emerging gameplay. I can almost guarantee the person whose spaceyacht was stolen had fun here too. Nothing was lost, the ships are insured and you can just call them back a short while after they're destroyed.

  • It's international but every nation would obviously use their own flag. It's a practice that dates back to the times before the USA was even a nation.

  • You’re the only other one than OP piping up.

    Don't forget all the people that were already too tired from this conversation before even participating in it to pipe up and decided to just click on the down arrow instead. Here I am piping up, though. You should change your ways if you genuinely want to "have a discussion". You're very right that you don't have to do that for anybody here, though! We don't give a fuck if you ever do find that discussion you're after. But if that is something you might like in the future you might want to examine the way you go about that. But I get it, it's hard not to stay defensive once you've dug yourself in already.

  • Yes, or someone did show up despite knowing the risks because they trusted Hawking to understand the dangers of revealing the secret of time travel and not sharing it with any living soul. If time travel were to ever become possible and somewhat commonplace then the chances are probably close to zero that everybody chooses not to attend this party (assuming the invitation remains famous for long enough). Perhaps the party was crowded with people thinking the same way.

    It's much more likely that it all just played out exactly the way Hawking said it did, of course. But it's a fun thought experiment to play around with.

  • I'm fairly certain she didn't lose the ability to laugh. I don't think that's entirely possible. Either you weren't as funny as you think or she was awkward and nervous and that suppressed her real laughter. Or, hang on, there's a third option which is she's rotted her brain by being terminally online to the point where real experiences lose their meaning. Actually now that I think about it, that's probably what you're getting at here.

    Fuck, wait a minute, am I losing my touch with reality and human connections?
