You need to allude to him also being a rapist, why else would they vote for it?

A fair bit was accomplished during ww2

Hard agree. My takeaway is the moral of the story is always do quality engineering. There have been like 10 movies and they still don't know how to construct an enclosure.

I don't understand why he is censoring his robot

"Certainly Sir! Money well spent!"

You have to understand why they are employed though - somebody stands to gain from doing some thing, so the way they get to justify doing that thing is to hire these people, so they come in, deliver a report that says the thing is the best thing to do with graphs that go up, and it happens, McKinsey gets paid, the beneficiary gets what they want and life goes on.

In the end I popped up the terminal and used some pot command with some flag I can't remember to skip the login step on setup.

I reckon there is good chance you aren't using windows 11 home though right?

Were you too young for Iraq?

It was a bit different, Americans were baying for revenge after 9/11, but also many people were adamantly against going to war.

I think there was less evidence of any WMD, everyone knew it was bullshit, but someone had to pay for 9/11.

In this case, the USA doesn't really give a shit about Iran, nobody has a score to settle, but the killer is - and the thing I remember from last time - is that at the beginning everyone was like cut the bullshit - but as time went along the media convinced a majority it was a good idea.

The same will happen here, they just haven't had a chance to catch up yet.

 
 

This whole situation reminds me of the fable of Sun Tzu and King He Lu's concubines. I've linked a copy of the story, better than my TlDr, but here it is anyway. TlDr; Sun Tzu was tasked with training the kings concubines as soldiers. He gave them instructions, and they refused to carry them out, laughing and not taking it seriously. He then had two of the Kings favourite concubines executed against his wishes. Suddenly they were taking it very seriously and doing the right thing.

It doesn't take much to control a populace. The arrest of Luigi will make people he might have targeted feel safe again. But if they didn't feel safe - ie he was never caught - he might have made real change and the targeted group would start doing the right thing for fear of retribution.

It would have been an interesting alternate timeline.

 

I'll admit I've drifted off Lemmy the last month or so.. content was a bit repetitive and felt like just an echo chamber of the same ideas. I didn't go back to Reddit, Reddit lost me to tiktok it turns out.

Jumped back on now and so many more posts have inspired me to comment. I'm a comment contributor generally but I wasn't feeling it.

Anyway.. just wanted to pop in and say I'm really enjoying it. Not that I was ever going anywhere but this is a great trajectory

 

Ancient Rome's debut, Romulus, Remus, they knew, City's birth in view.

Monarchy did start, Seven kings ruled, played their part, Republic's fresh chart.

Power to the plebs, Senators and their webs, Cicero's wise pleads.

Conquests, Punic Wars, Carthage fell, triumphant roars, Empire's first great doors.

Julius Caesar's fame, Brutus and the Senate's aim, Ides of March's claim.

Augustus did rise, Pax Romana's grandest prize, Empire's steady ties.

Trajan, Hadrian's reign, Empire's borders did sustain, Height it would attain.

Christianity's spread, Persecutions widespread, Faith the martyrs bled.

Invasions, turmoil, Huns, Visigoths, Roman soil, Empire's slow uncoil.

476 AD's fate, Odoacer's conquest state, Western Empire's weight.

Byzantium's gate, Constantinople, strong, great, Eastern Empire's fate.

Justinian's name, Hagia Sophia's fame, Empire's legal claim.

Arab-Byzantine strife, Crusades brought further life, Empire's later life.

1453's fall, Ottoman Turks did enthral, Byzantine's final call.

Rome's history vast, Kingdom, Republic, held fast, Empire's echoes cast.

 

Not affiliated with these guys, just a fan and this is a great doco. Understand its not the exact target of this community but hopefully those interested will find this interesting as well

 

This is one of my favourite YouTube channels at the moment. Really high quality medium form documentaries. I particularly love this episode. They are growing but still pretty small.

 

Not a pimple but still an extraction

 

Was thinking this after a rough landing today

 

Hey, one thing that has confused me a bit about Lemmy is just how bad it seems to be at handling any traffic at all.

Do you have any stats on how many request per second etc you are getting? I saw the thread the other day with your 24cpu server and the graphs and figure if anyone has a bit of a handle on it, if figure this community can work it out.

Like, if its just doing a couple of database reads and (from what i can tell I'm on mobile) just serving a JSON API to a single page JavaScript application, why is it so hard on the server?
