The Supreme Court must be impartial regardless of legislative and executive political mudslinging of the time.
Yeah sure, except that they clearly aren't. So the question is what do we do now?
[edit - actually nevermind i can't just bring myself to care enough]
It's a majority (or close to) 40yr old tech autists. I'm not trying to be funny, I'm not trying to be offensive, that's just a statement of fact.
Which is interesting, because the point of the phrase is to imply something is so commonplace that it practically has no value. It's so commonplace you can get a dozen of them for a dime!
So technically while the relative value of the dime in this phrase decreases, the relative value of the phrase itself increases as the dime's value ever further approaches negligible, ever better emphasizing the point!
Words are fun.
Gotcha. Sounds like a blast, honestly. One of my most played games this past year has been Metal: Hellsinger, and I'm a sarcastic dark comedy metalhead, so it sounds right up my alley!
Never heard of that one so I can't compare
I watched it with my child niece. The first two seasons are legitimately great for a children's show with a surprisingly deep narrative.
But then season 3 or 4 the production team changed and it went from being deep like Adventure Time to just being generic "good enough" kid's show.
Legitimately kind of a sad thing, actually
edit: typo
Abso-fucking-lutely 100% the correct take right here. We need to absolutely be wary of opportunists trying to remove nuance from the situation. That doesn't mean don't be realistic about the horrors, that doesn't mean treating the vile guilty parties with kid gloves, it just means ensuring we don't let our outrage carry us away with the current. And we have to be honest with ourselves that there are legitimately an astounding amount of outside forces and actors trying to manipulate the situation from all sides to score wins and promote dangerous ideologies.
Seek justice, seek peace, yes absolutely, but don't let yourself become an unwitting soldier in somebody else's war.
I've never played it, but I've heard from a friend that it is actually a total blast assuming your group has a good attitude and open mind going into it
I agree entirely and will add that hell, I even miss the satisfying sound of the CD drive opening and closing slowly with its mechanical whirr
I've been following Alexandr for years, and the dude is crazy talented.
But also if I was a guitar he would be like the boogyman to me, because this man seems to eat guitars
We ain't a monolith bro, and you don't speak for me
This whole "all the homophobes are closeted gay men|all the racists secretly fetishize black men" thing is reductive, unrealistic, and unproductive. This dude is gross as fuck and I'm glad he's getting charged with something at least, but chocking these things up to underlying latent sexual urges is weird and doesn't solve anything. I'm going to pivot to homosexuality as it think it's a clearer example now: yes there have been a number of bigots who have turned out to be closeted gays in denial, but concluding from that that all bigots are closeted muddies the water and prevents us from tackling the real root causes of bigotry and, frankly, makes "our side" (for lack of a better term) seem unnecessary sexually-obsessed.
Both are victims
Every so often I think about the fact that there are actually real people with real chodes and it legitimately makes me kind of sad
Why the sudden increase in removals?
Not trying to start anything, and if this is the wrong place to post about it I apologize, I'm not sure where else to broach the topic, but as a user I've noticed an enormous increase is moderator action today and I'm curious if there was some catalyst that the userbase should be aware of. Prior to today, the modlog shows only a few mod actions most days, and previous entire months can fit within one screenview. Furthermore, most of those actions were locking posts or removing and reprimanding specific offending comments. Yet today there is an entire wave of moderator actions, including such vague notes as "Troll Post" on meme posts with significant engagement.
I promise I'm not trying to start drama, I am just concerned as I love Lemmy and want to see it and the community thrive, and I am concerned about the same issues that plague Reddit could potentially find their way here.
That said, I also understand this isn't a democracy, so if the reply is simply "that's how it is," I guess I'm going to just shrug and accept it.

You won't be wrong if you say this song sucks, but also that bridge is fucking hilarious. "Twerkle pit" randomly pops into my head all the damn time.
