Imagine being on a yacht and still managing to set a forest on fire

Putin pledged military aid to South Korea’s greatest enemy, but then throws a hissy fit when South Korea considers military aid fir Ukraine in response. I’m sick of seeing the world being run by idiotic toddlers.

fluxion ,

Imagine you frantically forward that to ten people and dude dies anyway. Not cool.

“Go fuck yourself.”

fluxion ,

Surely the appreciate the “authenticity” with which he told them to “go fuck yourselves” before flip-flopping and begging them to come back?

fluxion ,

A better way to propose your question is: out of all the millions of people on Earth who hear about these activities, will literally 0 of them take any meaningful action against climate change?

The likelihood of that quite small, suggesting a non-zero value. That non-zero value is likely to be smaller than the damages of water-washable paint.

I’m not advocating for anyone here, but I think that’s the calculus OP was suggesting, and it makes perfect sense to me.

If eye-rolling and annoyance produced greenhouse gases, then it might be a different story.

fluxion ,

There are so many “annoying” protests that this logic can be applied to that would seem pretty short-sighted in retrospect.

It’s not these people that future generations will think poorly of.

It’s all going to scammers anyway

US aircraft carrier counters false Houthi claims with 'Taco Tuesdays' as deployment stretches on - AP (apnews.com)

“I think it’s been about two or three times in the past six months we’ve allegedly been sunk, which we have not been,” Hill told The Associated Press during a recent visit to the carrier. “It is almost comical at this point. They’re attempting to maybe inspire themselves through misinformation, but it doesn’t work...

Taco Tuesday is a human right

How many times does Trump need to blatantly lie to people’s faces to convince people he’s a liar? How many porn stars does he need to bang before Christians stop thinking he was sent by Jesus?

The death throes of these regimes will only come when every child is taught critical thinking and can no longer be turned against each other through baseless/lazy manipulation tactics, but even education itself is under attack so none of this is a given.

FWIW they did a pretty good job covering an Excel competition and actually making it interesting/readable.

The anti-AI sentiment in the free software communities is concerning. (lemmy.world)

Whenever AI is mentioned lots of people in the Linux space immediately react negatively. Creators like TheLinuxExperiment on YouTube always feel the need to add a disclaimer that “some people think AI is problematic” or something along those lines if an AI topic is discussed. I get that AI has many problems but at the same...

fluxion ,

The AI in my head is a bit underpowered but it gets the job done

fluxion ,

Simple mechanisms for flagging/reviewing misinformation would be helpful but we’ve gone in the completely opposite direction with Musk’s shittified twitter and every platform being scared to provide a dislike count so sll the scummiest shit just floats to the top with zero indication of controversy

fluxion ,

Stay vigilant for the next phase where the fascists start attacking the voting infrastructure to manipulate/discredit the results of future elections. People like this don’t willingly give up power, nor do they care about what voters want

fluxion ,

Tesla getting a new CEO is the only way Tesla is going to win back the demographics that Musk chased away acting like a dumb toddler.

Then it proceeds to take 10 minutes to boot. Happened to me before an important meeting once and i just couldn’t believe it. wtf makes Microsoft think they can get away with shit like this?

fluxion ,

Honestly im surprised bugs aren’t a more popular food. Lots of places where they are boutique street food but haven’t seen anyone try to do it at high-volume. I bet you can make a spam-like product that isn’t too bad to eat and not really think about what exactly is in it.

fluxion ,

If the tax also applies to retailers buying in bulk then maybe it’ll have some benefit to local business

fluxion ,

Hmm …what about continuing to go on benders every night and not addressing the problem at all? Would that be bad?

fluxion ,

“sales lost due to Putin being an incompetent genocidal maniac”

fluxion ,

How long before Netanyahu starts jailing Israelis who criticize his Special Military Operation?

fluxion ,

Their support of Russia alone should earn them a tarif

fluxion ,

This is the age of fascist trying to overthrow democracies though so nobody is safe with people like this in office

fluxion ,

How many times do we need to fight these assholes?

fluxion ,

This post embodies my entire experience with Myst and Riven. I was just constantly bewildered thinking I’d missed something important and broken the game or something.

Luckily i had a buddy that had a knack for those games so i got to experience the full game without constantly banging my head against a wall.

fluxion ,

Long overdue. Orban is Putin’s puppet and has no business dictating EU decisions

fluxion ,

Retuuuuuuuuuuuurn!

Of the killer tomatoes!

“Oh please, you just don’t wanna get embarrassed by my 5 ft vertical again…”

Just ended up with a bunch of human pups

Climate crisis is out of control and Putin ends up dragging us all off to war and weapons production. Absolute worst timeline.

fluxion ,

Steve McDowell, chief analyst at NAND research, told The Register that VMware by Broadcom is “laser focused on high-revenue, high-margin business” and has priced its wares “just below the pain threshold for customers they care about.”

Interesting way to word “we charged as much as we could possibly get away with”

fluxion ,

Fuck off. That was the deal you signed up for.

fluxion ,

“Stop genocide.”

Oh right right. We’ll get right on that didn’t realize it was a big deal.

fluxion ,

Wow, apparently in some places there are consequences for completing tanking your country’s economy and global standing. Which that was true everywhere

fluxion ,

Hope the junta regrets what they did in the end

Sausage, bacon, or ham are fairly standard

Daughter of prominent Palestinian poet killed in Israeli airstrike in Gaza (www.cnn.com)

Shaima Refaat Alareer, the daughter of a prominent Palestinian poet, was killed alongside her family in an Israeli airstrike on a house west of Gaza City on Friday, according to multiple sources, four months after her father died in a similar attack....

That 2-month-old baby could’ve grown up to be anything. It’s just too much of a risk. Honestly I’m not surprised that more countries aren’t also participating in baby extermination.

Israel, US said working to prevent ICC arrest warrant against Netanyahu (www.timesofisrael.com)

According to reports in several Israeli media, the United States is part of a last-ditch diplomatic effort to prevent the International Criminal Court from issuing arrest warrants against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli officials....

Stopping the genocide might help prospects

They literally went bankrupt spending $166 million (600% over budget) on a financial auditing system… and it can’t be audited. What a dumpster fire.

Tesla’s in its flop era (www.theverge.com)

When Tesla releases its first quarter earnings this afternoon, the company’s CEO Elon Musk will field the usual questions about new products, new factories, and progress toward its futuristic vision of self-driving cars and robot workers. But Musk will also face increasingly urgent questions about its current state of affairs...

fluxion ,

Unfortunately this is gonna bite NASA due to them handing the lander mission to Musk and his bogus claims, and in that case there won’t be many competitors ready to pick up the slack

fluxion ,

I think “start a war and lose all your fucking money to pay for it” is a good precedent and everyone should immediately employ it.

fluxion ,

People get drafted, innocents gets killed, citizens get taxed, all considered a given when war comes knocking. But God forbid some rich oligarchs lose some percentage of their wealth over it.
