Something tells me they'll go scorched earth.
Russian asset.
Trump doesn't want any more nudes of his wife getting shared so Putin is calling these shots no, no question.
Treason can carry a death penalty.
Just stating the facts.
Fuck the DNC for propping up a dynasty (Clintons) to follow another (Bushs) instead of bringing an actual leftist to fight the all right. Fuck Hillary Clinton for embodying it.
Circling the drain.
If I found a cop mistreating my elderly father Id be going full black hat in that fucking precinct if he weren't immediately terminated without pension.
Fuck Biden for not packing the SC over the last 4 fucking years what the fuck. We lost RBG, and they get boof-master fratboy.
Yeah, I know that I'm reasonably articulate.
If the audience isn't picking up what I'm throwing down, I ain't here for it.

Haters gonna hate lol. Sucks to suck I guess.
Edit: lmao, reported for this comment, really?
Guess it does suck to suck.
Are you telling me it's a good thing I still own 100 doge coin and 1,000,000 Shiba Inu?
Never thought I'd say that out loud.
At first they came for the immigrants.
And I did not speak out.
Because I was not an immigrant.
Then they came for the trans people.
And I did not speak out.
Because I was not a trans person.
Then they came for the journalists.
And I did not speak out.
Because I was not a journalist.
Then they came for the women.
And I did not speak out.
Because I was not a woman.
Then they came for the non Christians.
And I did not speak out.
Because I was Christian.
Then they came for me.
And there was no one left
To speak out for me.
Education is the backbone of any new frontier.
If brain drain were to recur and end up elsewhere, that elsewhere will certainly prosper.
School.
Hand signals.
No. Permission.
Schools are in loco parentis , and designate how to handle things mime these.
Yes. Absolutely. There's a fuck ton of things you shouldn't tip for. This is not one of them.
Listen, guys. It's bad. Yes.
Please if you're freaking out, watch this.
If you don't know this guy, he's an OG Security guy, very frequent speaker at Black Hat and DEF CON. Brilliant guy in many ways.
The tl;dw:
Government is a lumbering giant that is as hard to change negatively as it is to change positively. That's not to say things are a-okay. They're not. But there are solutions to every problem, and historically, love wins.
Yeah, if CPS isn't involved then this is almost surely a lawsuit.
Homie I'm a millennial and I was able to ride my bike to school in the 2nd grade. Just needed to show them I had a helmet and knew my hand signals. I didn't know my hand signals but my mom told me before I went to take the test.
This probably even mortifies older Gen Z folk.
I grew up in the 90s.
When we got to 2nd grade, we became eligible to take a road-sign test. (Left, right, stop). If you could demonstrate that you knew what that meant, and show them you owned a helmet, you could then ride your bicycle to and from school.
I was 7.
This was more than a decade after the term "stranger danger" had been seared into the American psyche.
I worry of the future.
That's the thing about the massive lumbering behemoth that is "government".
Despite anyone's best efforts, actually changing shit is a slow, arduous, sometimes impossible process.
Not saying he won't try, but he'll be about as successful as making America fit his vision as Biden, Obama, Bushel, Clinton, .... Etc were.
The other good news, is that historically, 100% of the time (except for NK), When the strong man dies, the party dies with it.
My optimistic prediction is that Trump keeps all of our blood pressure high for 4 years, and then we witness the actual death of the GOP, and that in average, most things will stay more or less the same.
people should know about Pete Davis
I'm approaching 40. I've been all over the internet my whole life. Mostly a metal head. I love me my prog rock. I love my folk, and a little indie here and there.
I won't give away too much, but if you know where I know this music from, give me a shout. I'm sure some of y'all are out tofu aware out there.
Pete Davis never got the fame he deserves in this genre. Maybe Foss platforms can give a hum le ho ie a signal boost. This is his most popular track with a band from cages ago, but peep his shit. He deserves it.
Anyone Else been following the countdown at blackmesa.com?
The bottom of the page there is a countdown that will expire at midnight Eastern standard Time tonight.
This company claims to be in Boston. They've received federal grants. I've done a small amount of digging, but it would be entirely within valves resources to set up such a company. They have a LinkedIn, but it doesn't really seem like anyone really works there? It seems like a viral marketing campaign.
There was a Reddit thread. A while back. Some people noticed classes in the HTML that referenced other half-lifey things. But, some people in that thread shut it down as nothing out of the ordinary.
Then, there have been recent leaks with regard to a new game being developed. Someone found a resume suggesting that a person had done voice-over work for an unreleased project with Valve in 2023.
There was also a leak of some files with .hlx file types, and I guess prior to the half-life alyx release some .hla files leaked.
In the .hlx file leak, I guess there was found references to things like the EV suit.
Here's a YouTube video that touches on all of this.
what are your favorite condiment creations?
Acceptable range of answers:
"I mix mustard with mayo"
to
"I emulsify a blend of herbs and mustard seeds and chilis in clarified butter to make and herbaceous fatty hot spread"
Bonus: what's it best on?
Eyedea & Abilities - Color My World Mine
Legend has it, Eyedea wrote these lyrics when he was 14 years old. What the actual fuck.
midnight club: the unsung hero of arcade racing.
This is an appreciation thread. All 4 games are iconic to me. Way underrated.
To me, midnight club is everything need for speed wanted to be. Need for speed had a few hits and many misses. Midnight club was 100% hits. And they aged incredibly. They're still fun as hell.
If you never played and you dig arcade racing games, go play. It's an open city racing game. Variety of racing types, endless challenges, and really great mechanicsi just wish it was as.pophlar as it deserves to be.
Worse and worse
Anyone else getting worse and worse service with chat gpt?
I am getting repetitive incorrect and lazy answers and then rate limited. Idk what I'm even paying for at this point. It's happened the last 5 times I've used it over the last week or so.
Am I alone?
screen blackout, app still functions.
Im on a galaxy s22+. This started happening the same time the upvotes downvote buttons started to glitch in the UI which I have also posted about.
This issue is more annoying. When I am mid response, I'll often leave the app to get more accurate info in what I'm trying to say. When I come back to Lemmy, it's all black. Nothing. But my button presses are still registering.
If I go to the app switcher (bottom left android button) thing, and reselect Lemmy, it fixes and the display returns.
But if I react by pressing the back button, I lose my response, I lose the post I was responding to, I sometimes can't even relocate the thread I was in easily.
voting buttons bug
I need to hit the upvotes and downvote buttons twice on the main page.
It will flash it's color as I press on press 1, but then quickly revert. On second press, it behaves normally.
Tom Brier sight reads Super Mario World Ending Theme - incredible ragtime improv
This guy was something special. Not too many prodigies can improv like Tom Brier. Someone posted Nyan cat the other day and it reminded me of the incredible body of his work.
This guys relative made this YouTube channel when he realized Tom could play anything and turn it into a full length song ad libertum, AND that he was incredibly out of touch with pop culture. Most of the time he is completely unfamiliar with the song being presented to him. You can tell how much he enjoyed this song by his enthusiastic laugh at the end 😊
Guy sadly was in a bad car accident in 2016, and can no longer play. These videos just make me cry now, but God damn does this mean deserve keep being found and revered.
feature request: custom feeds
Right now there are three feeds available to me, that, as far as I can tell, I have minimal control over.
It'd be rad if there was a way to add feeds, and for each feed, be able to manually select communities I'd like to see.
This would be great for news, porn, sports, pornography, adult content, and so much more.
Your Personal Metal Deep Cuts
Last week we had a great thread about metal without growls. In reading suggestions, and conjuring up some of my own, I re-realized a bunch of stuff.
I wanna see your top 3 metal deep cuts.
What do I mean by deep cut? I mean the formative shit. The stuff you found and loved along the way but lost track of, that when you revisit you go "fuck what happened to these guys?" The ones that helped guide you but fell off the face of the earth (or just your radar).
