SARGE

Look at those soulless, lifeless eyes.

Black eyes...

Like a dolls eyes...

Honestly, can you be sure you wouldn’t get distracted and forget the next step

This would help me and my wife. We both get distracted and this would remind us to finish the task before doing anything else.

One scoop of shit in a sandwich is better than two, but it's still a shit sandwich.

Open question to the floor: what is the most "Ska" song I could send to someone? Like the most iconic or the most stereotypical "Ska" a song could possibly be.

Edit: I've got some listening to do, thanks for the responses, keep them coming! I've never heard of half these bands, and while Ska isn't usually my thing I definitely vibe with some of them.

Ew. Gross. I liked not knowing better. Ah well, at least I can't check it myself so I don't really care that much. I didn't want lemmy to feel like a competition like I used to feel occasionally with r*ddit.

Also this is the first time I've noticed my name doesn't show up as "Miles O'brien" for everyone. Now I'm sad :(

Honestly I've thought cm002 was a bot before as well, but they engage in comment sections often enough to say either it's not, or it's a user hopping on to check bot progress.

Either way, most likely case is it's a user that saw a funny meme, and reposted it since not every sire is federated with others and some communities might not see it, especially if it's to a world or ml domain.

Possibly related, I did not see your post from this morning, this is my first time seeing it. Not sure about federation between instances but yeah.

Also tangentially related, anyone remember the huge r*ddit drama over a poweruser constantly reposting things with top comment responses to farm karma? That was a fun glance into people who take imaginary internet points too seriously. I'm glad lemmy doesn't keep track of total votes.

"You have to protest!"

"no, not like that"

Think of it like when you know you need to have the car keys taken from grandpa because he's an actual danger to himself and others.

But it's easier said than done, especially when grandpa is surrounded by people who either refuse to acknowledge his bad driving, or actively encourage him to go out and drive.

Also grandpa is armed and there's no guarantee that any of the people around him will stop him from shooting you and everyone in the neighborhood for trying.

And don't forget that half your siblings are actively cheering grandpa on and calling you slurs for even suggesting something is wrong, and they are also armed and aching for an excuse to shoot you. Your own gun isn't much use since you aren't close to grandpa, and by yourself you can accomplish little to nothing, and you can't reliably call your saner siblings to help out without drawing grandpa's caregivers attention.

The whole government is one giant dementia patient and needs to be burned to the ground so we can build something better, but there's no guarantee any of your siblings will make it or even be successful.

Unrelated, my mental health is great these days.

10 years ago you're absolutely correct.

Now? Just one less barrier for fascists to do their thing.

In a way that will realistically never happen in such a large country that arms it's police like they're military.

I'll happily arm up, call the people I train with, and get to work. unfortunately without large scale organization that simply isn't allowed by the alphabet squads because "domestic terrorism" or any number of made up bullshit claims (any leftist/progressive group. see also: black Panthers) the only thing that would result is 1-15 people dead in the street. Or more likely their beds, because they got raided at 2am and the cops just dropped grenades on their houses/apartments.

I do love how much I've been seeing ".ca" users clearly advocating that the US go through another revolution/civil war/domestic disturbance that causes the deaths of thousands, if not millions.

I'd rather just use the internet and look around for an hour or two.

Wastes way less water and power than asking a single question of an LLM and I'll have a much better idea of how to accomplish my goal.

Luigi (who I am not convinced actually did it) only stopped at one.

I bet if we kept going, things would change pretty substantially.
