Happy cake day, twin. I guess June 12th is like the baby boom for lemmy

PolydoreSmith ,

One year of beans and jeans. Here’s to many more!

PolydoreSmith ,

I carry them because I’m a professional musician and I just get sick of spelling my name for people. It has my booking email, instagram, and phone number on it. Super handy.

PolydoreSmith ,

The first rule of comstruction: attention to detail. Got it!

PolydoreSmith ,

So, I’ve been on lemmy.world since I joined last year and everyone’s saying it’s too big. Lemmy.ml is the next-largest so I’m conflicted. What do?

PolydoreSmith ,

I’ll always remember being 14 and going to get my pre-ordered copy of SC2. It came with a free t-shirt. They hand me this shirt which is just a giant picture of Ivy wearing basically nothing. The look on my mom’s face lol

PolydoreSmith ,

Seath the Scaleless caused me actual trauma.

PolydoreSmith ,

I’m not sure where I read dark souls 4. It’s very late here in the US…

PolydoreSmith ,

Yeah he does an emergency broadcast at least once a fuckin month. Just like Trump raised over 38 mil after his convictions. It’s all a con job. To take a page from Knowledge Fight, the media really needs to learn how to cover ol’ AJ.

PolydoreSmith ,

Are they not smoking Virginia Slims these days?

PolydoreSmith ,

Looks like it got scraped from an Onion article.

PolydoreSmith ,

The “one issue” happens to be supporting a genocide, so it’s kind of a big one? I haven’t seen anyone calling him right-wing, but you can bet if cops were firing rubber bullets at peaceful student protesters under a republican administration, every lefty from NY to LA would be wringing their hands and crying “fascism”. The times they are a-changing my friend. It’s not just about left or right, and I’m glad these kids understand that.

PolydoreSmith ,

Jeez, troll harder dude. Pathetic attempt.

PolydoreSmith ,

No, it’s low-effort rage baiting so I conflate it with trolling. That’s why I said “troll harder” lol

PolydoreSmith ,

You’re really bad at this - seriously, it’s sad.

PolydoreSmith ,

The article (correctly) names David Icke within the second paragraph or so. That dude popularized the “lizard people” thing and he is EXTREMELY antisemitic. This the whole point of a dogwhistle; it leaves room for plausible deniability. See also: Alex Jones.

So, sorry friend, try again.

PolydoreSmith ,

You’re talking out your ass. Do some research on David Icke, the dude who started the whole lizard people thing. Dude is an antisemite.

PolydoreSmith ,

Found the AI

PolydoreSmith ,

The comment fell over and needed to be righted.

PolydoreSmith ,

They’re talking about the scam of NFTs in general, Bored Apes in particular.

Apparently the company announced a restructuring in early October.

PolydoreSmith ,

Seriously, this article is garbage. The author intentionally mis-genders the person in question throughout the whole thing. It’s bigoted nonsense from start to finish.

Okay, so y’all found a trans person who’s a child molester - great job! The fact remains that one group of people is still responsible for 99.9% of all child abuse. So let’s start taking rights away from cis white men. See how that logic works?

PolydoreSmith ,

I saw a recent clip of him somewhere the other day and thought he was Alex Jones for a second. The roids have not been kind to him, I can’t imagine what he’ll look like in his 70’s

PolydoreSmith ,

Think about it this way, sushi chefs know how to prepare raw fish safely in the same way any other chef knows how to prepare cooked meats safely. The risk is the same.

I’ve been eating sushi for 30 years, and the only time I’ve had food-poisoning I got it from a rotisserie chicken.

PolydoreSmith ,

I don’t know what you mean, he says right in the song he’s never gonna hurt you.

PolydoreSmith ,

I’ve been on the internet since AOL free trials, and this is among the top ten worst things I’ve seen. Congratulations.

PolydoreSmith ,

I just imagine him running a hotdog cart outside the gates of hell. Back to his humble beginnings and all that

PolydoreSmith ,

I’m not sure if you posted the entire article (can’t check b/c paywall), but I’m surprised the NYT didn’t mention the 98-year-old co-owner of the paper who fucking DIED a day after police raided her home. This whole story is absolutely horrific.

PolydoreSmith ,

Okay good well at least they mentioned it, even if it is at the very end of the article.

PolydoreSmith ,

This is one of those situations where the fact that they pointed out it was fart-free makes it that much more suspicious. Like, “Drink this - we definitely didn’t fart in it!”

PolydoreSmith ,

Part of me wishes he would try it, because you just don’t come for the US Federal Government. Trump talks a big game and has a following, but the Feds are fucking psychos. These people killed MLK. These people have overthrown countless foreign governments. They’ve been trafficking drugs, weapons, and humans since before you and I were born.

I’m not saying I’m happy about it. I’m ashamed to be American every day that I wake up. But Trump is small potatoes to them. If he ever tried a coup for real it would end very badly for him, I promise you.

PolydoreSmith ,

Uber’s net profit for the twelve months ending March 31st, 2023 was $-3.36bn. That’s negative 3.36 billion dollars. They posted their first ever operating profit today. August 1st, 2023.

So yeah, really cool company. Not at all some sort of horrifying demon of modern capitalism…

Atlanta Sheriff Rules Out Special Treatment if Trump Is Indicted There (www.nytimes.com)

The sheriff of Fulton County, Ga., said on Tuesday that if former President Donald J. Trump were to be indicted in connection with efforts to overturn the 2020 election in the state, he would not receive special treatment, and would be booked and photographed like any other defendant.

PolydoreSmith ,

Firstly, I can’t read this article as it’s behind a paywall. I have, however, read other articles about it.

Second, imagine how famous the image of a former president’s mugshot will become. This idiot is going to have his picture in every newspaper, for the 500th time. And anyone planning on voting for him currently is not going to change their mind because of it.

I want him to get charged with every crime under the sun, but there has got to be a way to do it without giving him the national stage time and time again. It could be 2016 all over again if the media doesn’t change its behavior.

PolydoreSmith ,

I guess you’re right, I just automatically cringe at the thought of his photo going down in history as the first mugshot of a former president. Like it’s the kind of infamy that he probably gets off on. This dude deserves total washed-up obscurity and nothing more.

PolydoreSmith ,

I’m with you, I was totally on board until the reply.

China says US military aid to Taiwan will not deter its will to unify the island (apnews.com)

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — China accused the United States of turning Taiwan into an “ammunition depot” after the White House announced a $345 million military aid package for Taipei, and the self-ruled island said Sunday it tracked six Chinese navy ships in waters off its shores....

PolydoreSmith ,

I was gonna say, loving the use of the word “unify”. I also feel like the AP could have editorialized just a bit at least for the headline and maybe gone with something more along the lines of “reclaim”.

PolydoreSmith ,

Wait, really? My experience has been the exact opposite. Where do you live, generally?

PolydoreSmith ,

Huh, fascinating. I grew up in the Northeast and live in the Southeast now. I wanna do a sociological study on this.

PolydoreSmith ,

Politically, it was championed by some of the country’s most prominent Christian conservatives — like Bush speechwriter Michael Gerson and mega-evangelist Franklin Graham. The evangelicals provided the political muscle on the right, as well as a kind of unvarnished Christian moral argument for healing the sick, that ultimately got Bush and Congress on board — leading to PEPFAR’s creation in 2003. PEPFAR thus should not be seen only as a great American accomplishment, but also a great evangelical accomplishment.

When people talk about AIDS relief to Africa that provides zero funding for contraception on religious grounds, this is the program they’re talking about. It’s the same imperialist bullshit that’s been going on in Africa for centuries. If they really wanted to help people, they’d be sending billions of condoms a year. Prevent the spread instead of treating the disease.

The article completely glosses over what the evangelicals wanted in return for their support. Because just helping people wasn’t enough, it had to be on their terms. The writer for Vox then goes on to spend several paragraphs making the same weird “Trump was worse than Bush” comparisons that have become so popular among neo-liberals in recent years.

All-In-all, this is a terrible piece of journalism.

PolydoreSmith ,

Tom Waits for no one

PolydoreSmith ,

War Elephants are the next logical step, imo.

PolydoreSmith , (edited )

It actually is better. It’s crazy that someone on the internet will post your shit, not credit you, but still take the time to edit it. Somehow I both hate that and love it.

PolydoreSmith ,

This is like the opposite of the Bowie album “Aladdin Sane”.

PolydoreSmith ,

Definitely worthy of a subtle eye roll at least. My number one would have to be “it is what it is”. They all fall under the category of “saying something without saying anything”.

PolydoreSmith ,

It goes even deeper! Sir Isaac Newton only discovered the visible light spectrum to push the gay agenda. And you ever notice how there were a lot fewer queer folks when movies were in black and white? You can thank the liberal Jewish media for that. It’s pedophiles all the way down!

If the sub is on the instance you’re logged-in to (lemmy.works for you, I assume), then you just need to expand the “Sidebar” tab and tap “Subscribe”.

If it’s on another instance, you have to navigate to lemmy.world/c/sub@instance. So the main sub for sh.itjust.works would become (lemmy.world/c/[email protected])[lemmy.world/c/[email protected]] THEN go into the sidebar and the “Subscribe” button will be there. I think of it as just using a different door to get to the same content. And at this door you know the bouncer.

Alternatively, the sorta short linked version within lemmy would be !sub@instance . So that would look like (!main)[!main]. You can type that into the search from your main instance and the first result should be a link. That link will take you to a version of the sub with the same “Subscribe” option under the sidebar tab. Hope this helps!
