Rocky would approve.

The void is not impressed with your attempts at entertaining.

No, they want robots to work in the factories, because they don’t complain and don’t unionize, and don’t take time off, and work for electrons.

Fucking ads in my Lemmy.

NRD claims the battery can deliver power outputs ranging from 5 nanowatts to 500 nanowatts.

Envious. A bit.

But, I prefer the website.

INB4 “bidet”

I’m 60, I’ve never bought a brand-new car, and I doubt I ever will.

The car I’m driving now, which is two years newer than the car I drove for 18 years, is a 2006. I paid $6000 for it about eight years ago, and I’m very happy with it.

Yep. There’s always a new crop of motorcycle riders who think they’re the greatest thing.

Including the stress from noise, lights, and concentrated pollution? I’m not sure.

We’ll have more people walking in cities, anyway.

My car radio is tuned to the 80s/90s station. When I start my car if a song is playing, I’ll listen. If an ad comes on, I’ll mute it, and usually forget to unmute it again. Sometimes I hear two or three songs in a row before an ad. Sometimes I remember to unmute it, and maybe hear another song.

I could make an effort to have music in the car, but I don’t care that much about it. I’m okay with silence.

I wonder if he’d written a death threat in chalk on the ground, if that would be a greater or lesser crime?

What about “burn, baby, burn!”? Would that count as equal death threat to “Imma murderize you!”?

Wait, do those bona fide idiots reject gravity, too? I mean explicitly. Or, would they think the goats would stand perpendicular to the rim?

JFC, I hadn’t considered this before. So, the Earth is flat, because it looks flat from the ground, and down is down because it is. But the moon disc faces the Earth, which means it must be perpendicular to the Earth so “down” is local, but it’s not gravity? Is that it? Or, the Moon is spherical, but Earth isn’t? If there’s gravity, then what is on the other side of the Earth? Lemme guess, some bizzaro-world, alternate dimension?

Wow.

When I first heard about flat Earthers, I was certain it was parody, to the point that I didn’t realize it wasn’t for years afterward. It’s just so fucking ridiculous.

Kudos to the one guy I heard of that realized it was all bullshit when he saw the Earth from high up. It takes courage to admit you’re wrong about something so fundamental, but he owned up to it.

Maybe. But, it will happen nonetheless if the filthy rich don’t stop their march.

Also, the people who feign sympathy for the filthy rich are suffering under the delusion that they are as rich, or will be someday. People with $50 million don’t know which side of the wall they’re on.

Mamdani has realized that New Yorkers — and all Americans — need to see the government working for them.

… instead of to enslave them?

Yeah, that makes sense.

I suspect for those to whom this looks fake, it has to do with the scale of the person in the hatch compared to the capsule, and the combination of his generic pose, waving, the smile, and that he’s looking off-camera, instead of at the person in front of him.

There used to be a dog in my neighborhood that stood in his backyard, staring and barking at the same spot in the sky. I saw him doing that several times.

I was thinking aliens, but maybe it was just capitalism.

He’s saying their values are everyone’s values. “Our way of life” is trying to rally us to his side–“rally around the flag”–to divide us against ourselves. It works pretty well with MAGA, and they all know it.

And, in their bunkers, and on their islands, and hopefully first in their boardrooms. I wonder what they’re saying to each other.
