The phrase “snitches get stitches” makes a lot of assumptions about the quality and expediency of healthcare.
Imagine everything humans could accomplish if we were not a commerce based civilization.
A billionaire could finance some UFO-looking drones to swarm a town, then invest in the real estate and tourism in that town and profit.
I was just thinking about how people still go to Roswell, NM to visit the alien museum and yet those UFO sighting events took place decades ago....

Video games are one of the few places where failure motivates us to get back up. It's a temporary setback that allows you to keep going, teaching us resilience and the power of a second chance.
i swer i’m not high…
it's weird that we are prepared to die for democracy, yet willingly enter dictatorships daily for work and spend the majority of our waking lives with people we vaguely know
I feel like we're all stuck in a movie where all the rich people live on some kind of floating island or satellite with everything they need to live well, and all of us have zero chance of going there
I have seen a few of these with similar story lines and realized we are living it right now. They have the best healthcare, the best food, the best everything and most of us are a few dollars from disaster. That scares some of us to death literally from all the stress it causes.
Between two married professional actors, the roleplay foreplay must be incredible.
Viggo Mortensen has be in The Road, On the Road, and about a dozen road genre movies.
Big Tech companies are finally getting the names we thought dystopian megacorps would have
Meta Platforms. X Corp. tell me those aren’t straight from a strangely prescient cyberpunk classic
Pedro Pascal and Norman Reedus now have 2 IPs where they travel with a kid in tow
Apple Vision Pro from a Young Earth Creationist's View
I got the Apple Vision Pro. It’s awesome, but to be honest, it doesn’t do much, yet. It’s amazing hardware and software, but there are few built-in apps. It’ll grow and expand, but there’s just not a lot you can do with it yet....
The release date of Bowling for Soup's hit "1985" was closer to 1985 than it is to 2024
Pride flags make rainbows straight
There's probably a word I've been pronouncing wrong my whole life that I don't know about
Just based on how often I notice someone mispronounce a word without realizing it (or have done so myself and realized it later). Statistically I’m probably still doing it with some word.
When Billy Idol said Mony Mony made him feel like a pony he probably meant "really hungry for some hay."
Anyway, awesome rhyming.
Any 'creation' of information (pictures, books, code, etc) is just pruning the huge space of possible information to leave just the information you want.
Like carving a block of stone to leave only the form of a horse....
We could not stop Gary Thuerk and subsequent followers, so why do we think we can contain AI?
The first recorded instance of spam, not yet referred to as ‘email,’ was sent on May 3, 1978, to several hundred ARPANET users. It was an advertisement for a Digital Equipment Corporation presentation showcasing their DECSYSTEM-20 products, sent by Gary Thuerk, one of their marketers. The Air Force, outraged by the misuse of...
Old articles are clogging up search engines
The internet used to be where you found the latest information. But it’s old enough that you could easily find info on 10-20 year old articles that are out of date and irrelevant
With the web overflowing with garbage, each secret incantation (URL) you learn to trust allows you to access more of the promised perks of the internet
It seems like I feel safer now in the inner city than the suburb I grew up in
Is it just me or do poor neighborhoods of the US have a safer vibe now and the suburbs like a distinctly threatening vibe? I live in a poor neighborhood and these days being somewhere like this and seeing like a gangbanger-ish car roll down the street doesn’t make me nervous but a cop car definitely does kind of like how those...
Lemmy is a perfect reddit replacement in terms of saving a post "for later" and never coming back to it
If I ever got a Canada Goose jacket, I'd take the badge off.
I would get it for the warmth, not the appendage measuring contest....
When talking to people who dislike UBI about UBI, they'll often say both that 'people need a purpose in life' and that 'nobody will work if they get free money'.
Those seem incompatible to me....
