this is NOT comparable to the situation in switzerland. i quote:

The first step is to fill out a request form and a member of the EPB Tech Pros team will schedule a consultation to assess your needs. If you are a business, you may also call 423-648-1500 to speak with our sales department. Your consultation will include discovering the locations and specifications of your current computer equipment, wireless networks and any other devices. We will determine the best path to run new Ethernet wiring, which is required to handle 25 Gig Internet. And, we will work with you to determine the best possible location for the special ONT box we will need to install in order for you to receive 25 Gig service. Afterwards, we will schedule the actual installation with you for another time. Both visits can be scheduled at your convenience.

This is a vastly different experience to calling an ISP of your choice, giving them the number of your fiber endpoint, and having service in a few days.

I agree, especially don’t cheap out on the mask, that stuff will fuck up your lungs real good.

My 2 cents: She was 11 when the movie was shot - it’s one thing to replace a 16 year old with a 18 year old actor, even with a similar story, but there is not one 18 (or even 16) year old you could put into that role and say it’s still the same movie. The psychological impact of being confronted with literally a child’s body in this context is not comparable in my opinion.

Personal experience: yes, the medication they put me on when i was suicidal and stayed at a psychiatric ward numbs you emotionally, which would also mean that the emotional response to awful news is very muted. I did not feel nothing, but it’s a bit like the effect of noise cancelling headphones, but for emotions.

I was not happy about that at that time, but it made functioning and working in therapy a hell of a lot easier compared to the dumpster fire of emotions i had to deal with before that.

And everyone reacts differently to bad news - damn, when my sister was in an car accident where she got pretty hurt, her first reaction was to laugh her ass off, and then hurling abuse at the medics during the whole ambulance ride.

Sad that they don’t mail stuff, i’d need a few household items currently, and if they were star trek themed, well that would be awesome.

I’ve seen doorways, but no arches :-(

I am already prepared by having about 20TB Fitgirl Releases, and a complete collection of NES/SNES/GBA/NDS/Mega Drive/SegaCD/PSX/PS2 games.

which reminds me that i still have to get the PS2 games in a format where i can play them without rummaging through giant archives urgh

Damn, the comment of the greens by Vieira made me smile - didn’t think that i would ever hear a list of gamer memes in the EP: direct link to timecode

Yeah, before the internet every little town had a few lunatics and mentally challenged people, but they were alone. The net has connected them and gave them a voice, and by god, is it loud and obnoxious.

Yeah, he’s still in campaign mode, and that won’t change until power has officially transferred over. Also, since the media landscape is still very much in Orbans hands, he probably wanted to avoid giving them ammunition. To be honest, this is the hardest part to fix - i don’t have many ideas except of nationalizing all of Orbans media - which is more than 90% - and then reprivatization afterwards.

anarchist.nexus is a piefed-instance in the anarchist flotilla.

You can read up on it here in the announcement post: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/52641276

A very important lesson is hidden in this article:

Of the other two ridings, the Bloc Québécois is in an extremely tight race with the Liberals in Terrebonne, Quebec. The Liberals won it by just one vote in the last federal election, but the result was overturned by Canada’s supreme court because of a misprint on a voter’s envelope.

If ANY side had seen only one more person voting, everything might have been different! Never think that your vote isn’t important.

After reading the article, i had long lost count of how many people she had killed, poisoned, accused of witchcraft, accused of conspiracy, exiled, forced to commit suicide and so on - and that was BEFORE she became officially empress, which led to her cranking it up to 11 with a secret police that did not fuck around and installation of postboxes where people could denounce each other. Other rulers for sure learnt a thing or two from her.

Lol Biden is old, but not THAT old

There is the hypothesis floating around that he didn’t say anything about LGBTQ in general to make him palatable to as many voters as possible, which was a success. But he seems a lot more socially liberal than Orban, and wants to position closer to the EU, so a normalization and realignment of the laws with the larger EU Space is what i would expect, probably after restoring a functioning judiciary which he will need to fix the widespread corruption.

Even Moscow proclaimed they were never friends with Orban lol

But it’s the same issue Biden faced where he couldn’t even trust the Secret Service, or Germany after WW2 - you can’t really discern who was just keeping their head down and who was a true believer, except if there is material evidence. Magyar already announced that he will partner up with EU institutions to deal with the widespread corruption, and i think that outside view will be a valuable help it attaining that goal.

Maybe it would be easier to dissolve the state and start from a clean slate - but even then you couldn’t be sure that the people you take in for their know-how aren’t guilty as well, potentially setting yourself up for a few not so nice surprises.

“piss up a rope” is an expression i haven’t heard yet, it’s mine now :-)

calm down, cartman

That’s what i was thinking - the dense atmosphere might even allow for platforms which are permanently suspended in the air like an inverse submarine, offsetting a large amount of needed fuel for a space launch
