There’s that old legend about the Symbolics Lisp Machine keyboards which had, like, a bazillion modifiers (and were a big influence on Emacs). Someone suggested that they would eventually run out space to put in more shift keys, so they’d have to introduce pedals. I suppose organ stops would also work.

I just wanted a small nook of the web where I could find art reference pictures and create a huge folder of cutest turtle pictures. It’s getting gradually harder with all the slop, yes!

Entirely hypothetical conversation:

Musk: “We really, really want to buy the xVideo domain. We have the money. We really need to do this.”

xVideo rep: “Uh, right. But why, though?”

Musk: “We really care about the branding. It’s a powerful thing.”

Well, now that Trump is a demented dictator of a backwater country, he also needs to update the aesthetics to match. Putting gold everywhere while the impoverished populace is getting whacked by police just makes sense, you know? A time-honoured tradition.

I can get frozen chicken bits pretty cheap. My cheap options right now look like a half a kilo plus sauces, or (with some walking) a full kilo, plus no extras.

“Man, however, is not a being whose exclusive purpose in life is eating, drinking, and providing a shelter for himself. As soon as his material wants are satisfied, other needs, of an artistic character, will thrust themselves forward the more ardently. However, if there’s some rotisserie chicken available, you absolutely should grab that immediately, because that’s a rare treat.”

• Peter Kropotkin: The Conquest of Bread, ch. 9

" Man shall not live by bread alone, but if you grab some of that damn good rotisserie chicken, mm-mmm, that’s some good stuff." Jesus, Matthew 4:4

Folks! Are YOU thinking of getting Disney+? Well, you can see the only content worth watching there, right here. …that’s not much, now is it?

Obligatory comment from someone on the !fuckcars@lemmy.world crowd:

How cars fly on planes? WELL THEY USUALLY DON’T. We just make shitloads of infrastructure for them. BCUZ OF FREEDUMZ

All the good luck with that!

These things happen, can’t expect five nines from every server.

…Is math related to science?
If the universe is so big, then why doesn’t it fight me?

(Yeah, I know, I shouldn’t be quoting Internet Historian, these could be stolen jokes. It’s funny because these are the sort of jokes I could come up with)

Lollipop snatching? Amateur tier. Now let’s do some bronze tier stuff.

You can register on a Piefed instance and use Lemmy’s subscription export feature and Piefed’s import feature to retain your subscriptions. Porting comments/posts isn’t a thing.

There’s work underway creating migration scripts for Lemmy databases to be imported to Piefed, but that is a tool for instance administrators only, of course.

Well, the .ml folks are often espousing authoritarian points of view and I fail to see how that will bring forth a more positive society. I think authoritarian societies have been problematic in the past. But that is just my opinion.

But there are a lot of societal issues that need to be improved for good though!

I remember the comic being much larger than I expected back in the day.

Technically it was a three parter: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3. Just that it was published in Flickr which really wasn’t good at this whole “webcomic” thing.

Well that’s just a contentless bait. I’ve never seen this, even in Reddit. True garbage for the ages. Goodbye, good sir. May you be remember’d as the shit’st troll of ever.

I’m not spewing any kind of “insane word salad” here. I’m just questioning what you are doing.

So let me reiterate.

I keep thinking of one of the old videos I saw.

“…I dunno, maybe we should get rid of all of the landlords!”

“But who would we then pay rent to?”

I was, like, holy shit, things are so much more complicated than I even realised, everything is based on some dumb suppositions or some shit.

Singular “porvari”, plural “porvarit”, social class “porvaristo”. Finnish is easy!
