Watch the infomercials until something remotely interesting starts.

Remember when Israel kept yanking the football away from the Biden administration every time that Biden announced new Gaza ceasefire talks? At this point, you’d have to be a fucking fool to believe a word that slithers out of Nettanyahu’s head. Israel is working damn hard on burning as much political capital as it possibly can as fast as it can. Of course, they’re not doing it to do something cool like fighting climate change or build a moon base, it’s simply to murder as many people as they can as fast as they can.

"They’ve been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the fuck they’re doing.”

I honestly to goodness can’t think of the last time I heard Trump drop an F bomb. I think he’s actually rather cross with them

Is this boomer shit really making the rounds again? This is so 2003.

E: downvote all you want; eat my ass, CIA

ColdFusion

I was there, 3,000 years ago

That is a problem, but not an intractable one. The first easy win would be to just stop wasting so much water. CA could be a lot more careful with water than it is by just leaning on industry and ag to cut wasteful water use harder than it leans on the suburbs. Don’t get me wrong, green lawns in our Mediterranean climate are a stupid waste too, but it pencils out to less than a percent of all water use, where ag and industry are both in the double digits.

• Never cut spending

• Cut taxes on the rich

“Wow, that’s a lot of debt”

• Cut taxes on businesses

“Wow, we’re really broke”

• Cut taxes on the rich

“Golly, this is a serious problem!”

• Cut taxes on the rich

“Nobody really knows why we’re in so much debt or how to deal with it, but it’s probably the fault of poor people. Guess we better cut taxes for the rich more lmao”

I mean, if you can reasonably bridge the gulf between stars, scientific advancement is basically all that’s left, unless it’s just your culture to be slaving, warmongering dickheads. Your home solar system probably has all the raw materials and energy you could ever ask for.

IIRC, you can get into public games on roll20. I also know Lemmy has an instance dedicated to TTRPGs; do they have any kind of game matchup community?

I’ve never met a public-facing tabletop group that wasn’t enthusiastic to introduce new people to it. I think honestly my worst experience was when some dude brought his insanely broken D&D 3.5 character to play in a level one 5E game. The DM handled it very well; much better than I would have, I think.

Your nearest, biggest city’s library is a good place to look. Libraries almost always have something going on in a spare public room or have public event flyers hung up. If you’re interested in politics, going and yelling at city council is a great way to meet local activists.

Oh no way! Agh! Okay, I know what I’m trying next time.

I just… I will never be able to recruit Minthara.

Remember when Gemini said that you should eat at least one small rock per day?

I’ve started the process of moving my communities and stuff, but I plan on continuing to post on .ee until it goes down. Btw, is there an easy way to check which instances a Lemmy/piefed instance is defederated from?

I’ve applied for .zip; is .sdf a more general purpose instance?

Yeah, I gave volunteering a good, long think because I’m mostly sure I’ve got the right proficiencies for it, but my plate’s already overflowing as it is. I like lemm.ee, but when I sat down and considered my priorities IRL, I am legitimately sorry to say that it didn’t make the cut. I guess everyone else did that same math.

I’m moving to both piefed and .zip

Talking a whole lot of shit for someone riding around in a machine that will find literally any excuse to break down. Helicopters are sketchy as fuck, and even if you manage to autorotate perfectly to try and recover from a stall, you’re still liable to suffer severe or fatal injuries. It’s super easy to crash due to human error or some kind of mechanical failure.

Bruh wow
