Let’s take a page from Helldivers and call it “Managed Capitalism.” Surely far better than rootstock /s

Thw books, obviously! Been decades tho

Su Cuy’Gar, Mando’an!

The purpose of life (imo) is to discover humanity in yourself and what “the best human” means to you. People get their ideas on “the best human” from many inspired examples. The Buddha, Mohammed the Prophet, Jesus of Nazareth, Julius Caesar, or Jimmy Buffet. Some people need no such idols and can form their own understanding of what it means to be human, but all of these scale.

Your humanity plays into the identity of your family, plays into the identity of your city/town, plays into the identity of your region, plays into the identity of your nation, and at the top is the true meaning of life: the culmination of every dream and desire, the moral fabric of our species, and the embodiment of the only such entity in existence to our knowledge. The purpose of life is to find that, reconcile with it, and use the wisdom you gain in doing so to help shape our species into a happy, healthy, and mature civilization, or die trying.

Piiiitchforks! Getcher pitchforks heeeere!

Me writing my silly little forms apps in silly little VS Pretty drop-down fields :)

It’s a folder that you put files into, but acts as a file itself. Not at all like zip.

I wonder, if I put image posts without context as a comment, will I, too, look as desperate for attention and legitimacy as yourself?

It would change nothing for us. Most of it is all black box and they could leave any number of “dials” and not tell us what they are set to.

Be less Christian to be more Christ-Like.

Being gay is not something you’re stuck with, it’s who you are and you have every right to celebrate it.

You’re very clever. Don’t use your cleverness to manipulate or do harm.

You will find love.

That’s an old white-hat trick. If the tables drop, the wrap helps them bounce.

Muhl-tee pahsss!

“An old Indian taught me that.” (Idk where I learned this)

“And we’re off like a turd-of-hurdles/smelly underwear.” (Underway)

“Oh, I know it!” (I agree whole-heartedly)

“(That’s) big noise.” (Nonsense)

“Slicker than dog snot!” (The bee’s knees)

I’m sure you’re right, but I’ve seen that little orange devil do very naughty things with the BT protocol before. My coworker has one and it makes me very uneasy with my BYO devices.

By that logic, Elvis or Michael Jackson would be a better contender.

Unfortunately, Taylor Swift is probably the most traditionally american top 40 artist, given her genre inspirations, but the US is probably too large to pick just one artist. I bet it’d be far more interesting to find out what each state has contributed to our national artistry.

Freedom means nothing without rights. Every society is a “free” society to kings and billionaires, not so much for the poor. Freedoms are rights plus allowance. We allow for much in the US, but we do not universally uphold rights.

If anything can do it, I bet the Flipper Zero could.

This is my take. I choose the instance that fits best for me, and I know what my admin, u/db0, uses as his litmus test for defederation. As long as you find the instance that is handled how you want, you can avoid whatever side of Lemmy you choose. That’s not to say badmins don’t exist or won’t replace the good ones eventually, but that’s the nature of decentralization. You have to be prepared to move in those cases. That’s why I bounced from .world real quick.

I whiteboard my pseudocode, but that doesn’t use brackets.
