  • Well, I can't say I necessarily agree with everything, but I can see your points.

    Thanks for sharing your POV.

  • Hey man, future Julie got a haircut. Don't tell me there's no character development

  • So if I hypothetically own a home and rent my basement suite out, you think I would be inherently exploiting someone? What's my alternative? What if I need the rental income to afford the mortgage?

    I feel like following this train of thought results in either nobody owns anything to keep it fair, or everyone is entitled to a home for free, both of which are not realistic.

  • I don't get how this above conversation isn't just /thread.

    7 people who downvoted, care to explain? Genuinely curious what your take is.

  • This is coming off as deliberately obtuse.

    If you have a nuke, and someone wants to take your shit or kill you, they will be deterred from doing so. Will anyone ever use a nuke in this situation? Who knows, but it would probably cause a world war. Millions, if not billions could die. Governments could collapse. Entire species could be wiped out. The results are nearly unfathomable. I don't think anyone wants to be the cause of that.

    If Ukraine nuked Russia, or vice versa, it would likely result in the destruction of both countries regardless of who the nuke hit, hence the previous commenters wiki link to mutually assured destruction.

    It's uncharted territory for humanity, and no one wants to fuck around a find out.

  • I thought it was alligator on a dictator for sure but these comments sure opened my eyes to the possibilities

  • I switched from Windows to Bazzite on my main rig 2 weeks ago. Likely won't go back to Windows for gaming as I've had pretty much no issues with Bazzite.

    I did also get a Steam deck recently, so anecdotally, both above answers are right.

    Insert "I'm doing my part" meme

  • I'm the executive director of a very official organization I just made with just me as the sole staffer, and I'm warning that Bruce Pardy is a dumbass

  • Surprised it's not mentioned yet.

    Severance.

  • To add to this with my own anecdotal experience: I got into a trade at 18, right outta high school. Had mediocre high school grades, and decent college grades for electrical. Got a job in a place I didn't wanna work for about a year, but made good connections and got good experience. Used that to get a job in my home town, and literally jumped from job to job, or was able to keep my job through intense layoffs by being a good bullshitter.

    Some of the best advice I ever received was "it's not the grades you make, it's the hands you shake"

    Get into something that might interest you, and network with people. Networking for me from a trades background as a young guy got me a work from home job doing IT in my 30s.

    Best of luck mate, you'll figure it out. Time is on your side, just don't be idle for too long if you can help it. Older you will thank you.

  • Same here. The Dark Eldar builder slaves, the chaos lord, the space marine voice lines coming through their vox grills. So peak

  • The actual end goal is how much science per min can you pump out to flex on other autists. If you think the game ends when you launch a rocket, or when you get to the edge of the solar system, you are certifiably not autistic enough.

  • Dirt star?

  • Haha damn, totally missed it.

    It's actually significantly more expansive than it looks. Part of the bridge you see runs under our deck, and then on the other side there is an enclosed ramp up to our kitchen window. Another part of it forks off to the front of the deck so they have a primo sunbathing spot .We simply unlock the little cat door that was installed in the window screen, and they are out.

    Thanks for the kind words. We feel good about the compromise of letting them outside, but not letting them kill all the surrounding wildlife.

  • I made a catio in my backyard (3rd one attached the house) because our little bastards will kill everything in a kilometre radius. Not that we've ever tested that, but we've seen how they act when creatures smaller then them are out and about within their purview.

  • Equating Jagmeet to both Taylor Swift and the Trumps? I'm not sure I'm following you point, unless your point is simply "rich people bad".

    Did you have a better candidate to cast your vote to?

  • That's a weird take. Family name and upbringing aside, he was the most "on our side" politician available at the time. I think his main fault was simply that he wasn't very likeable.

  • How about you just ignore it and move on, instead of asking everyone to pander to your standards? Not to be rude, but no one on the internet gives a shit about your standards, and no one is going to try to comply with them. Use the downvote button if you don't like the word

  • Linux @lemmy.world

    Thinking about making the switch and need some advice.
