I taught my kids never to touch a gun unless the owner cleared it in front of them and showed them the empty chamber.

The Half Life demo was 50MB. Took me 4 tries to get it over dialup. Played till the sun came up!

In America, and other countries, it used to be backed by gold.

Best ELI5 here!

Women could change the world overnight if they’d ban together on denying sex. There were two warring tribes in Africa (last century, I forget) where the woman came together and said no poonanny until you boys are at peace. Instant peace.

This is part of what Forrest Gump was about. Think Forrest and Bubba would have made it to boot in the first place?

FYI: A “school shooting” is anytime a gun is discharged on school grounds. If I go shoot the soccer field on a Saturday afternoon, that counts.

And the San Francisco shooting? That was one kid purposefully going after another. It was a fight with a gun involved, not some random kid shooting the place up.

Give up. Lemmy understands business… I don’t have a metaphor. They don’t understand business. At all. But yes, that’s how sales targets work.

Sorry, but planning a Linux PC sounds hilarious to me.

“Meh. This piece of crap will do great.”

Yeah, I would say so.

Huh. I called it “singing through your teeth”. That’s how I karaoke 90s songs! Had no idea there was was a word for it.

Well I would hope we could find someone with more qualifications than running a satire account.

Well then, good thing Newsome didn’t post this!

All y’all need to join with the FaceBook conservatives for a social media literacy class.

“NOOAWW! I believe whatever I want to believe and it’s all TRUE!”

Straight out of The Shimmer (Annihilation)!

our aim is to keep Reddit the most human place on the internet

Every time this guy posts or speaks publicly he has to mention the “human” aspect of reddit. No idea why. 🙄

Very close to giving up on this site. I’m not sure there is a single soul on here that is not neurodivergent, not taking every word at literal, face value and able to grasp context clues.

Your understanding of legal issues astounds me.

Japan will be the first industrialized nation to suffer depopulation. Been saying it will be interesting to see how they navigate the problem because sooner or later we’ll all be faced with it.

The org wanted to retain trans women but the UK’s court ruling made that a legal hazard? I’m not sure who would have standing to sue and over what exactly?

No way! And all these years later I learn this.
