Nah, an Irish Republican is a very different thing.

So he’s saying “send a German” but what I’m hearing is “tow a gurney with a bike.”

There’s no more reason to doubt the existence of a Jewish carpenter who pissed off the government and got nailed up for it than there is to doubt the existence of the Roman official who ordered the nailing.

The supernatural stuff is a different matter.

Try making Bismarck jokes instead.

(Warmongering, full of Nazis, hit in the rudder… the analogies are endless.)

You underestimate how much of a

mood a lot of Lemmy users are in.

At this point I consume most media literally on my computer or my phone, but I still want there to be a good solution for a big living room TV (50"+ range). I have yet to see any reasonable ‘computer monitor’ option for that.

The other problem with using a monitor as a TV, BTW, is that they often don’t have built-in speakers.

Buying the TV and then not connecting it still rewards the bad behavior.

We have to boycott these fucks and lobby to get the behavior outlawed.

This is why, for years, I’ve been trying to point out that “if you don’t like it, just don’t buy it” isn’t good enough. Boycotts aren’t enough; we have to force the law to change to prohibit the abusive corporate behavior.

I used to recommend Sceptre, but even they appear to have stopped making dumb TVs now too.

That’s a good point: it’s not just that LLMs fail to give you an optimal password, it’s that they’re inherently designed to give you a pessimal one.

Scroll down to the “prosperity” section. You’re welcome.

Good point; I stand corrected!

(Any other difference between Georgia and more reliably “blue states” still comes down to having a slightly lower urban/rural population ratio, not ideological differences between the urban people of different states or rural people of different states themselves, though.)

The only thing that stops Georgia from being a blue state is that Atlanta’s population isn’t quite big enough.

“Ignore” is not the word I would’ve used.

This isn’t about Americans’ obligation to pay. It’s about hassle being forced upon foreign companies that have fuck-all to do with America (except for having American expat customers), to make them help collect the taxes on the US’ behalf.

You think I’m American because – checks notes – I care about getting names and relationships right and understand that there isn’t necessarily a 1:1 relationship between what a name actually is in its native language and what it looks like written in English?

I am American, but I don’t understand why you apparently think that’s a common characteristic of us or why you want to give me an angry backhanded compliment about it.

Most of mine have already been mentioned, but the biggie that hasn’t is: the Back to the Future trilogy.

Not only are there lots of little details you probably don’t catch on the first viewing, I’m surprised they don’t make more millennial-and-older users’ lists just from them being often the best thing on TV, in the ancient times before streaming.

Are all those actually different names, and not just varying latin alphabet transliterations of the same farsi word?

From AIPAC’s perspective, they’re very effective.

No it’s just a fact you are lying about San Jose.

You spout nothing but bad faith bullshit and you accuse me of being the one who’s lying? That’s rich.

The fact that San Jose’s zoning law got overridden by the state two seconds ago doesn’t somehow magically instantly change the entire built environment of the city that resulted from decades and decades of the previous policy, and you fucking know it.

YIMBYs oppose public housing more often than NIMBYs.

Cite or GTFO.

My point is trying to inject your libretarian housing politics focused on zoning to a discussion about gas reserves is stupid.

THEY WOULDN’T NEED THE GODDAMN GAS RESERVES IF THEY DIDN’T HAVE SO MUCH CAR DEPENDENCY!

How absolutely moronic and dishonest do you have to be to refuse to acknowledge that extremely basic connection?!
