Likely owns a vending machine business. They’re easier to return than a handful of quarters if someone uses a 5 dollar bill to buy something for a buck and change.

DAE have a the problem where they click on a post for an image, and the image appears briefly before showing a broken link icon? Using Connect for Lemmy browsing on Mobile...

Question is the same as the post title. I’m using Connect on mobile and very often I’ll click on a thumbnail for an image, the post will open and the image will appear briefly before turning into a broken link. Just wondering if it’s something specific to Lemmy, if it’s just Connect, or if it’s something I’m doing?

TheOneAndOnly OP ,

Huh. Are you using Connect, or something else?

TheOneAndOnly OP ,

Exactly. Sometimes I can get it to load if I try opening it it a few times… But not that often.

TheOneAndOnly OP ,

Is that a function of Lemmy, or just federated links, I wonder.

TheOneAndOnly OP ,

What client are you using?

TheOneAndOnly OP ,

Thanks for responding, all the same!

TheOneAndOnly OP ,

Not sure what you mean about sending one of these posts…

I’ve not yet met a device whose Bluetooth name i couldn’t change. Just Google, “How do I change the Bluetooth name on “x device”?”, and substitute, “x device”, with the manufacturer, make, and model of the device whose Bluetooth name you want to change. I believe in you.

Heard this a lot in basic training. “You all ate up like a soup sandwich, private!”, meant you were all kinds of screwed up.

This is the part where someone comes along and tells me this bird is suffering from some neurologic disorder that will lead to it’s starvation and eventual death.

It’s simple… If you convince the communists that the capitalists are trying to destroy them, (and vice versa), they fight each other, distracting them from the real enemy: the 1% with enough money to directly influence the folk that make the rules that keep them in the 1% club. We’re fighting culture wars so we won’t fight class wars, my friend.

TheOneAndOnly ,

The 1% exist in every form of government, my friend. Billionaire capitalists == Russian Oligarchs. The name changes based on the audience, but the idea is money influences politics. The folk with the most money to do so are the 1% who actually rule, not the interchangeable talking heads who take their money to live a comfortable life acting as the mouthpiece (or scapegoat) for that group.

Look… It’s all tribalism, in the end. We can argue semantics, but doing so it’s exactly their point. It keeps us busy with pedantry, while they continue to enjoy their wealth from on high. I am not educated enough to debate the pros and cons of each group, but I am intelligent enough to smell an attempt to distract me from the point. To know there’s some sleight of hand fuckery happening right in front of my face.

TheOneAndOnly ,

Exactly! This is exactly what I’m saying. The 1% is still the 1% calling the shots… No matter where they are or what you want to call the type of government they influence.

TheOneAndOnly ,

Help me understand how I’m close in what I’m saying, my friend. It feels like we’re saying exactly the same thing.

TheOneAndOnly ,

Oh! I see. No…I’m only saying the minute you start talking any “-isms”, you trigger feelings of tribalism that exist in all of humanity. We want to be on the “good team”. No one wants to be on the bad team, and that feeling is what the Uber wealthy uses to keep us busy. Debating all of the “-isms” is the problem. Let’s figure out how to take care of the masses so basic human needs are met, allowing humanity to prosper, and figure out what the hell to call it later. Otherwise, we just quibble over semantics and nothing gets done.

You are 100% correct in your assertion, my anti Mario sex toy friend, and I love your passion. I worry that the minute you call someone’s intelligence into question, they’ll take a defensive posture and stop thinking critically. Critical thinking is what we need more than anything else in this world right now. That’s what’s in short supply. It’s why the news is constantly being flooded with new things, and why there are so few media outlets that don’t have a slant. If I can get you outraged at team blue, or team red, or team US, or team THEM, your anger overrides your reason and you stop thinking about who benefits from the distraction provided by us arguing over whatever this new bullshit thing is we’re arguing over. Hopefully that last statement makes sense.

TheOneAndOnly ,

First…I love this discussion. Thank you for it. It’s what made me love Reddit in the early years, and why I’m so enamored with Lemmy. Secondly…You make an excellent point; one I can’t refute. I don’t know how we move towards a solution without having a way to succinctly describe an ideologic structure. I just hate how partisan the world becomes, and how much the media plays off of it to help the fuckers in charge sell ads, or maintain power, wherever you live and whatever ism you subscribe to. Maybe all I’m doing is just missing the point and muddying the waters…

Really? Season three is where I really thought Seth toned down the dick and fart jokes and started focusing on what made ST amazing. The whole left behind story where Gordon is trapped for long enough in the past that he has a whole family he has to leave behind was heartbreaking and exactly the sort of storyline that made me love TNG in the first place.

TheOneAndOnly ,

Well done.

…Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain…

I’D HAVE A REWATCH!

TheOneAndOnly ,

Right? I’ve been using it to mean, “acknowledged”, for years now. My kids told me just the other day that their group does not, and that they have to remind themselves I’m not being sarcastic when I send it. I have reached “that” age, it would appear.

TheOneAndOnly ,

Right? My reaction was to give them a thumbs up and move along. They laughed.

Your thoughts on The Orville? (lemmy.world)

When I first started this show I found it to be a really awkward mix of comedy and seriousness. It had some jokes thrown it at the most inopportune times as some kind of comic relief from a really serious situation. Perhaps the first half of the first season was actually a bit rough or maybe the show just grew on me, but by...

TheOneAndOnly ,

The Gordon/Time travel episode was brutal. It’s the episode I keep referring to when attempting to get my girlfriend to suspend her dislike of Seth McFarlane enough to give the show a shot. I will be very disappointed if there isn’t a 4th episode.

Whatchu wanna talk about, friend? Let’s get niche-y!

TheOneAndOnly ,

Good grief…I had no idea this monstrosity had become governor of a state. It makes sense that it’s Arkansas… But still. Who the fuck takes one look at that beast and thinks, “There… That’s the person I want in charge of the lives of those around me!”. Honestly…If I saw this thing at dusk walking towards me on some street, I’d immediately cross both myself and said street out of fear of the eldritch horror streaming forth from it’s eyes. Look at that face! Tell me it doesn’t scream, “I eat souls and shit demons”. Every day, I want so badly to buy a ship and sail into international waters, to avoid fuckwit shit bags like this douchecanoe having any say whatsoever in how I live my life. Fuck “her”, and everyone who voted “her” into office. May the beyond accept you into it’s dark and torturous embrace.

TheOneAndOnly ,

I know. I just hate that thing’s face so much it spawned a rant.

TheOneAndOnly ,

Deactivating is for wafflers. Delete that shit, burn the crops, and salt the earth in your wake.

TheOneAndOnly ,

I told myself that… And then would reactivate and spend a day or two falling back in. Like a shitty relationship. Eventually, I had to cut the cord entirely.

This is just the sort of comment that would have become a thing back in the early days of Reddit. Welcome to your stardom. I want someone to point out my comment for being prescient 5 years from now when you’re the next Unidan, but maybe don’t turn into a toxic dick like he did.
