Most can. The DoD has consistently failed for years. Yet we still keep ballooning their budget.

I mean, how else is the US going to afford to kill brown people in other countries to ensure rich white people can keep getting richer?

Such worthless, juvenile commentary. Fucking Redditors.

Crucifixion was a common method of execution at the time. That must be Uncle Bob on the wall.

You’d think they’d hang a picture of Uncle Bob in happier times.

Your mother and I are divorcing…. from you.

Is the second pic photoshopped? The kids sad/crying in the foreground with the dad creepily smiling in the background is something.

Well of course they hung up a crucifix. You don’t think Mary and Joseph were bad Christians, do you?

CarlsIII , to lemmyshitpost in That’s some other guy I swear

Reminds me of a Noah’s ark tv special where they claimed to have found the ark and that there was a bunch of gold jewelry in it, including crucifixes. But…why would Noah have crucifixes?

Korne127 , to lemmyshitpost in How many extensions do you have installed on your Firefox?
@Korne127@lemmy.world avatar

Ruffle :D
An open source Flash player emulator. I definitely recommend it because I also contribute to it. But it’s great, if you stumble across any old websites using Flash games or animations, you can just continue to play and watch them with it :D

@Historical_General@lemmy.world avatar

That’s cool. Will this ever be needed and/or usable on Android - idk much about Flash except that it’s no longer supported but still somewhat popular because of it’s past and capabilities.

Korne127 ,
@Korne127@lemmy.world avatar

It is usable on Android. Websites can embed Ruffle in their backend, then everyone can just visit the website and play the flash game / watch the flash animation without installing anything at all. If you play many browser games, chances are good you’ve already used Ruffle. And that goes for mobile browsers as well; I can even play flash games on Safari on my iPhone if the websites embed it.
I’m not sure about if / how you can install the extension (which you can use to access all flash content, even if the websites themselves didn’t embed it) on mobile browsers, but I think that there is a Ruffle app for Android, and a demo page used to execute any swf (flash) files.

However, most flash games are made for computer and some may even require mouse hover events or something which just doesn’t exist on any mobile phones. So while Ruffle works there, the flash games of course also need to be playable with a touch screen.

Mannnn… I wish we had this in the U.S. Unfortunately it would ruin a lot of the propaganda forced down our throats, disabling some talking points for our dumbass politicians.

They’d never give us something so comprehensive.

You can go here and get something pretty close to OP’s posting.

CarlsIII , to pics in Week 3: Congratulations to Milx for their photo of the week.

How come whenever I hear of a photo of the week, it’s always someone named something either like Milk or Milx? Not a problem, just a weird coincidence.

@Alchemy@lemmy.world avatar

Week 1 was SeedOneTheWind

Week 2 was BeardyGrumps

Or do you mean POTW’s in general?

CarlsIII ,

When the “guy explaining” meme photo first got posted, I remember seeing “Congratulations to Milk for their photo of the week!” I had no idea who or what Milk was. (Turns out it’s the name of the club where the photo was taken). https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/milk-edinburgh-club-photo

Edit: also turns out the post text was "Congratulations to Milk in Edinburgh on taking what I suspect may be the most relatable nightclub photo in the history of the art."

Milx ,

My name came from an old MMO-ish type web game where you could milk butterflies and when you did sometimes they said “Milx 4 u!”

So, it’s probably not related to any other Milk-related usernames lol.

I think something like this would make U.S. citizens feel better about taxes in general, since it can sometimes feel like you’re throwing a large portion of your hard-earned money away.

Dran_Arcana ,

The data to create this is essentially public with budget bills right? It would just take building a percentage tree and categorizing them appropriately. I might look into how complex this would be to build.

jcit878 ,

its basically just proportioning out the nations budget against the amount of tax paid,assuming you had access to how much was spent where by category, it would be a peice of piss to make

cubicle0924 ,

Luckily they even do the categorization and calculate percentages for you!

Dran_Arcana ,

I had no idea this existed; thanks for the share!

a9249 ,

true but seeing how much goes to welfare might make republicans hit the roof. Everyones got that uncle that hates the poors.

Gerbler ,

Mind you the largest chunk of that is the elderly with the unemployed being one of the smallest ones. I’m very much in favour of both by the way.

If you think your taxes are too high then it’s not because too much is going to welfare; it’s because too much is going to tax breaks (which won’t show up on a chart like this) for fossil fuel companies and the wealthy.

Most in Australia don’t read where the money goes. Taxes aren’t too bad (IMO) and the system is so easy that once you submit you don’t really go back to see where it went. Or maybe I live in a bubble.
