I had my computer plugged into a power bar and we'd turn off the power bar to turn off the computer so that we wouldn't wear out the switch on the computer.

People actually thought you'd have a computer long enough to wear out its power switch.

I don't want Elon to win, I just want Trump to lose. And also Elon. Fuck that guy.

Invest in the future? But how will that affect today's profits?

Maybe we need to be targeting share holders and not just CEOs

Is this because every time he gets a girlfriend it's only so he can suffer because she immediately dies or suffers a fate worse than death?

If you’re seeing dying much sooner as direct result of his actions as an equal outcome, I’m not sure what to tell you.

There's dying, or a 1% chance of not dying. These are in fact not equal.

he saying whatever he thinks you want to hear to give him your vote

Which to someone starving to death is a lot better than someone saying "everything is fine, keep the status quo".

Are you glad he got voted in?

Nope. I was spending time trying to argue with people to do the bare fucking minimum to stop this, and the Democrats did not help with their campaign of "lets change nothing because everything is fine."

Is your life better now?

Not an American. I'll be fine. I can just understand why someone who is desperate (which according to polls is over 50% of your population) could decide to vote for someone who says they want to fucking change things, instead of the people saying everything is fine and they will change nothing.

it could mean girls or young women

young female is less opinionated & unlikely to clash with varied opinions on the distinction between girls & young women.

So how young are the girls OP is upset about not accepting his friend request? If there's concern that some people would refer to them as "girls" instead of "young women" the grossness of the statement stands.

You go on this long when people make grammatical errors like using the wrong "their" in their posts? Or is it just excusing language the dehumanizes women that gets you fired up?

[–] CileTheSane 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That's my point. If OP wanted to use clearer language "Young Women" would have been better, unless they are in fact creeping on children.

Best case scenario with the honest man: he does nothing and I starve to death. Worst case scenario with the lying man: I starve to death anyway. May as well try changing things.

Sure, maybe I starve to death faster, but you give most people a choice between "100% chance you starve to death" and "99% chance you starve to death and 1% chance you don't" and they will take the 1% chance.

At least the lying man admits there's a fucking problem. "Everything is fine and nothing needs to change" was not a good strategy.

So "young women" instead of "young females" would have been more clear and appropriate?

If a known liar is lying to you and you take action supporting those lies, should you be responsible when the lies are indeed shown to be lies?

If I'm starving to death, and the most trustworthy man in the world says "I will do nothing to help you" while the most dishonest man in the world (Donald Trump) says "I will shower you with more food than you have ever seen in your life" I'm going to take my chances with the dishonest man. Maybe the lie is how much but there will still be something. Better than a guaranteed nothing.

Received a text from a pollster asking me who I'm going to vote for, is there any good reason to respond?

This is a weird one.

I am subscribed to [email protected] When browsing on my phone I can see the thumbnails just fine. When browsing on my desktop ublock origin blocks the thumbnails and avatars, but only from the startrek.website instance, and only when I'm accessing it through Lemmy.ca

If I go directly to startrek.website I can view everything fine, and other instances I am not encountering this issue with. Any idea what might be the cause? I am using Firefox.

 

I can go to the main page of a Lemmy instance and see whatever is active on that instance at the time, but is there a way to get something like r/all for all federated instances?
