FULL SPEECH: President Joe Biden gives address after dropping out of 2024 election
  • He’s given the description of something with fins and teeth, but that could be any number of animals. Typically, a gargantuan decision like this isn’t made unless there’s a similarly massive realization. Did advisors say his polls were unfavorable? Were donors pulling out? Did he come to terms with his age? Was his party begging for his retirement?

    I’m not looking for souls lore and feelings in abstract, I’m asking for events.

  • FULL SPEECH: President Joe Biden gives address after dropping out of 2024 election
  • If by “they” you mean the news, then I’ve noticed a change. Insofar as actual human people and their opinions in my city, they’ve been static. Progressives sighing and regressives screeching. How have the human people in your city changed their opinions?

  • The Apothecary Diaries' Manga Artist Has Been Sentenced To 10 Months In Prison for tax evasion
  • The Apothecary Diaries'

    Oh, anime news? That’s neat. Lemmy isn’t huge on discussing media of any sort.

    …Manga Artist

    It was child pornography

    …Has Been Sentenced

    I knew it. That industry needs to be burned to the ground. It’s endemic and utterly unacceptable. I’m glad they caught them.

    …To 10 Months In Prison

    A slap on the wrist like that samurai artist? How can Japan tolerate this?

    …for tax evasion

    Oh. Well now I feel foolish. Good thing no one was privy to my insane leaps in logic.

  • I don’t believe that he relinquished his campaign out of utter beneficence. I skimmed the transcript but never managed to find it, does he touch on what in particular compelled him to pass the torch?

    It’s hard to believe that he’d just wake up one morning after six months of campaigning and say “yeah, it’s about time I hang up my suit.” Especially with only a few months remaining for Harris to campaign. There had to have been a coming to Jesus moment for the spontaneity of this about face.

  • Elon Musk Reportedly Offered SpaceX Employees Sperm to Seed Mars Colony
  • Anyone know how much the additional ~30 pounds of a human man, compared to a human woman and a test tube of cum, would cost to fly to mars? How many women would each mission need to take to offset the weight of a precisely calibrated refrigerator full of spunk? If, upon arrival on mars, they immediately begin pouring cum all over the ground, how delicious would Elon’s tears be?

  • Harry Potter and the Nuclear launch codes
  • That’s one interpretation, absolutely. Or you could say Han Chinese, racist Han Chinese, and Uighurs. Or Israelis, racist israelis, and Gazans. Or white Americans, white American racists, and native Americans. Or white Brits/Irish, straight/gay, seafaring Scandinavians/prey, etc..

    In group vs out group, with perceived genetic/social differences.

  • Let's Go [Rule]
  • Shit, it’s real and they have a website. Also, they lie about printing their shirts in the US. I’d link their site but lemmy isn’t big enough to DDOS it and I don’t want to provide them entertainment and hope in the form of a sudden rush of visitors.

  • Harry Potter and the Nuclear launch codes
  • This is explored at length in the books. The wizard supremacists are an allegory for race supremacists, and it’s pointed out repeatedly that they’re delusional, broadly impotent, and small-minded. The death eaters believe so completely in their godhead and his divine right to rule that they neglect to consider even the most basic countermeasures or alternatives. There’s some “death of Stalin” paranoia but it’s overwhelmingly unforced incompetence.

    Voldemort, likewise, blocks out even the potential for his lessers to outdo him. He is utterly infallible and his insecurities as an incest orphan to a fallen house will not allow him to feel any differently. Meanwhile, he’s been repeatedly circumvented and beaten by a group of teenagers, and his brewing plans will lead to the complete genocide of wizardkind upon reaching the world stage. It perfectly encapsulates the way race supremacists view the world and why they fail so frequently. The enemy is both strong and weak.

    Darn shame rowling’s turned into what she hates. She wasn’t terrible at writing populism 101.

  • The interior of your house is hot, the exterior cool. What would the most efficient orientation be for a box fan? Pushing hot air out of a window or pulling cool air in through it? (Solved)*

    Secondarily, should the fan be outside or inside the window?

    Asking for a friend. (Me, help. I can’t remember physics, it’s too goddamn hot)

    Edit: I’ve opened all the windows and set up a fan a short distance from the window pointing out and it’s reduced the temperature to near-tolerable levels. Unfortunately, venting through the attic was a no-go but moving things aside might make it an option next time. Thank you all, I appreciate the help!

    A dog’s life

    [panel 1: A small, bespectacled man sitting at a table takes a bite of pancake. Their glass is filled with golden liquid, matching the color of the dog staring over the edge of their table. Their eyes lock.]

    [panel 2: the dog’s tail shifts into overdrive and its eyes pleadingly grow to the size of saucers.]

    [panel 3: the man grins and hoists a pancake above their canine companion. Its eyebrows arch and body quivers.]

    [panel 4: the man releases the pancake and it stops with a soft plop atop the dog’s head.]

    [panel 5: the dog searchingly turns toward the noise, pancake still resting between its eyes.]

    [panel 6: the dog’s brows lift in grief as it turns right, continuing to helplessly investigate the mystery of the missing pancake.]

    Patterned clothes are less interesting than textured clothes

    I rarely find myself taking a second look at a piece of clothing whose only notable quality is a properly applied shade or hue. The main draw in every piece of compelling apparel is its texture. Does it look sheer? Soft? Stiff? The emotion evoked by a slogan, illustration, or pattern is nearly always superseded or at least altered by apparent textural context. A bad Christmas long sleeve or a knitted “granny’s little cumstain” sweater would elicit vastly different reactions compared to their more conventional cousins.

    All of that is to say that texture is the end-all for clothes. It is the medium through which your message is broadcasted. Tones and shapes are transient, texture is forever.

    Love me… love me not

    [panel 1: a cartoonishly drawn child wearing a pink t-shirt and black spandex shorts sits on a grassy hillside, nearly resting their back against the verdant scene. They put their weight on their elbow and pluck a flower from the grass with a smile.]

    [panel 2: they lean over the flower and, whilst plucking petals, say “Loves me… Loves me not… Loves me… Loves me not…”

    [panel 3: they point at the flower and focus their attention further.]

    [panel 4: their finger wags at the petals as they enumerate and whisper “Loves me… Loves me not.]

    [panel 5: they sit up and glance about to see if anyone is watching]

    [panel 6: they simultaneously tear off two leaves and say “Loves me…”]

    [panel 7: the flower shouts at the now sobbing child, “HEY, HEY, HEY. NO CHEATING! YOU ALREADY KNOW YOU’RE NOT LOVED!”]

    Timeless

    [panel 1: a large dodo approaches a clean, well dressed vagrant youth sat beside a well fashioned wood and stone building. The youth warily guards a bag holding their belongings and the stick they use to travel with it. The dodo asks “Pardon me, do you have the time?” and the youth replies “yes, it’s -“]

    [panel 2: the dodo exclaims “You have the time!”]

    [panel 3: a quartet of dodos appear and excitedly chatter over one another: “He has the time.” “The time! he has it!” “At long last! Our desperate search is at an end! The time has been found!”]

    [panel 4: they lean in amongst one another and whisper “PSSHHWSSSSPTT SSHSSHHPSSTT”]

    [panel 5: the group approaches the youth and asks “Will you… give us the time?” And the youth replies “It’s nine fifteen.” The dodos exclaim “AAAAAHHH! NOW WE HAVE THE TIME!”]

    How do I direct link to an Imgur gif/video/webm?

    I’m trying to submit a direct link on lemmyshitpost but not one of my attempts has yielded a direct image link that actually plays the giffeo.

    The gif

    https://imgur.com/6VfBQfa

    Links I’ve tried so far:

    https://i.imgur.com/6VfBQfa (obviously not right) https://i.imgur.com/6VfBQfa.gif (doesnt play) https://i.imgur.com/6VfBQfa.webm (doesn’t load) https://i.imgur.com/6VfBQfa.gifv (doesn’t anything) https://i.imgur.com/6VfBQfa.mp4 (nope)

    Anyone know how to direct link to an Imgur giffeo?
