Betwixed and between
works though, look at the LNP in Qld. Shit canned the electric tram extension on the Gold Coast, to be replaced with buses, shit canned the move to electric buses and just ordered 630 diesel buses, during a diesel crisis ;)
They spent the first 12 months in Government running around like headless chickens, responding to climate change amplified weather catastrophes.
This is the best Qld has…
because if they advocate for actual action and not performative theatre they’d not be elected, nor reelected. ehg who’s going to vote for politcans banning cars (the IPCC has said multiple times that cars are the problem, not just the engine), banning flying, starting with private jets, a large tax on meat, banning advertising and on and on)
Can’t remember who it was, Michel Barnier perhaps ? “We’re all well aware of what needs to be done, we just haven’t figured out how to be re-elected after we do it”
So, why aren’t they advocating for performative climate theatre ? because they are aware there’s less votes in it, regardless of what the polls say, the only important poll is an election. An example with socialized heath care, which is widely supported in polls, yet voters who often need it most still vote Republican anyway.
maybe it’s just me because im old but the photo itself shows why I have zero interest in owning a game, or any physical media (a someone who had vinyl originally, then tapes, seeing the back of both those was a joy. I’m also seeing “kids” return to analog cameras but that will pass, like bell bottoms.
a physical game that needs online authentication, or a server for collaborative play are all only here for a “short time” anyway, physical media aside.
I’m a reader more than a gamer, my books are all digital with no DRM, most of my games are digital from GOG and no DRM and are all single player, my music is all MP3 or flacc , zero streaming. It’s why I get pissy when phones don’t have an SD card, I can throw a TB of movies, books etc on a card and have another with me if I want but you streamers have killed it :)
you’re getting lambasted in the comments but hyperbole aside, I have to kind of agree. An appropriate repsonse moght be a snail ans a thabk you to the giver befire the next gift. This looks like some weird performative staged nonsense though.
I showed the video to my gf and she said asked, what’s a video card and why is he crying over it.
I am guessing though his new wife is well aware going in, she’s not #1 on his list.
leys hope not, next up Elon Musk, then Melina Trump etal
haha same here :)
every time I finish using it I switch it off, I might not use my PC the next day, or if so it will be late in the day, I can often go 2 or 3 days and don’t start it, attending to a few things I need via my phone.
nek minute, Russian drones in Paris
is this better then darkreader ?
well, that would be most of the UK yeah ?
he’d the exchange gifts at “Christmas”, similarly at Easter, that sort of stuff, which is about my limit as well… rather than a fire cracker at Diwali and wash your hands in some cow urine ?
yeah, better to vote ONP /s
Shoebridbe is 100% wrong on this, we should double our military aid, reciprocity is a thing. We fuck over another democracy why would anyone come to our aid in a time of need ?
As a Greens voter I’m disappointed in this and several of their policies but broadly supportive of many of their other polices. The other side of that coin is I am disappointed with nearly all the polices of the other parties.
The only path to sanity lies through the Greens and moving the Overton Window to allow the rise of the truly radical politicians we need, every other political choice is deliberately choosing failure.
right… and for that to be the case, it has to have broad support amongst the populus. I mean someone votes for the likes of people like Mitch, Trump, Cruz, Hakeem, Schumer etal not primaried decades ago ffs
Trump’s not stupid, he’s a sociopath, schemer and grifter though, he’s making billions of the people who elected him (and those who didn’t) , he has near unlimited power, immunity from any law, command of the biggest military on earth and as he stated he can say the stupidest stuff, grab women by the pussy, or shoot someone in Times Square and people will clap. He’s not the stupid one, those who elected him are.
the witchcraft dude though…
stop joking ? last time we got Gingrich! :)
many of them voted for him three times!
Should have put Geet Wilders in that image as well.
well, so do corporate social media apps and they’re routinely defended on Lemmy when bans are introduced. AI will also be normalized in a few years.
seems unlikely
yes, just like it is with smoking, gambling, alcohol (I’d argue religion as well) and on and on.
the main problem with social isolation is cars. Need one to do any fucking thing in cities and sonlittke infrastructure fir alternates and then kids hanging around together is seen as bad, so they have “move on” laws. A good start would be a goal of removing 80% of cars from cities and ban dropping kids if at school in a car
