  • Is there a way to reset your nose after olfactory fatigue? Sorta like a palate cleanser for your nose?

  • Wasn't trying to be a dick, pard. Apologies I came off that way. Hope you have a relaxing evening!

  • My brother in Christ, you are confusing Richard Nixon with Ronald Reagan. Nixon resigned. Reagan was wildly popular while implementing policies that have fucked over America for nearly half a decade now.

  • Huh

  • Я думаю, що багато європейців вважають, що расизму не існує в їхніх куточках світу. Це легко стверджувати, коли всі у вашій країні виглядають і говорять так само, як ви.

  • Linux @lemmy.world

    I broke my Arch Linux installation yesterday

  • Flying is so bad now if you don't book a flight at the ass crack of dawn you're basically guaranteed to get delayed so I always bite the bullet and book as early as possible!

    Has anyone else watched this documentary yet?

    Trump is in the Epstein Files

  • I like this summarized as "don't let perfect be the enemy of good enough."

  • Also if you just want the audio to listen to (I like to do this with TTRPGs) you can do:

    yt-dlp -x -f bestaudio

    Also works great in a pinch for getting sounds and music for FoundryVTT.

  • OH thank you I understand now. Unfortunately, no.

  • What?

  • I don't have any revolutionary advice to give to you my friend. I'm quite a bit younger than you and I already am feeling the creep of losing touch with the speed of new technology. I think to a certain extent that is inevitable. I will say that there is a tremendous amount of survivorship bias in the videos of young people making racks off of day trading. These videos are designed to get people hooked on what is functionally gambling. No offense meant whatsoever, but if you're living paycheck to paycheck it's the exact type of slippery slope that can turn a bad financial situation into a ruinous one. I hope you find something that you like though and wish you the best of luck in whatever you do!

  • I imagine interstellar coalition governments probably function a lot more like the EU than a single country. Individual planets/solar systems would probably function under a somewhat independent governorship that is still subject to the overall laws of the federation/republic.

    It's sort of like asking "how big can a city get?" before states and nation-states existed, when in reality at some point a higher tier governance inevitably takes over. An interstellar or galactic scale government is necessarily going to be massively stratified with many levels of hierarchy in between. I think this is why many sci-fi governments at this scale are also described as bloated, unintelligible bureaucracies.

  • A USA today article seems to dispute this slightly. It's a minor tweak but in the sake of fairness it completely changes the interpretation.

    "The job of the U.S. armed forces is not to host drag shows, to transform foreign cultures (and) spread democracy to everybody around the world at the point of a gun," he said. "The military's job is to dominate any foe and annihilate any threat to America, anywhere, anytime and any place."

    Does anyone know whether he said "but spread democracy..." or "and spread democracy..."?

    If the former like this post suggests, then it is indeed another notch in Trump's belt of horrific quotes that would get any other politician at any other time in American history vilified. If the latter like USA Today is reporting then he seems to be arguing that the US military's role is not to "spread democracy at the point of a gun."

  • Even more disturbing is that if we have evidence of one Signal chat that must mean they regularly use non-official communications channels to discuss things like this. That means no formal record retention, no safeguards against export control and protection of classified information, and no pathway for transparency. These communications are entirely FOIA proof such that the American people have no way to even attempt to obtain information through legal channels from government officials.

  • The main point is to take advantage of Trump's reckless misunderstanding of how the modern global financial system works to deliberately drive the United States into a recession so that American oligarchs can buy up all the collapsed pieces and force ordinary people into permanent rental of all essential services. My perspective is that RFK is a eugenicist with respect to vaccines in a, "if you die when you get sick you weren't strong enough to be worth keeping alive anyway" sort of way. And of course there are the Curtis Yarvins of the world who want to turn the "mentally unfit" into biodiesel. Combine that with the recent own the libs joke bills about making so-called "Trump Derangement Syndrome" a classifiable mental illness and you can see where the writing on the wall is. The broader goal is to make it so any disagreement with Trump and Republicans is either a deportable offense or a mental illness.

  • Just a friendly reminder too that a 2015 report from the ATF found that 71% of the guns the cartels use are bought in the United States and carried south across the border. The United States is just as complicit in the rise of cartel related crime as the cartels themselves!

  • I love this so much!!
