I have 2 screens connected on my Radeon HD 6770 and for a reason, when i exit the TTY and start Dwm one of them go black.

Some of these guys make it seem like they have no prospects because they're like 5'7 or whatever .

Do you actually feel this way?

Honestly myself im 6'1 and my 5'8 pal gets way more attention from women than me.

Of course thats anecdotal, but.

Asking because I'm writing a paper on her and I think a lot of you like Chinese history/politics. Please don't shoot me for being non-Hexbearian.

Do you like the way she ruled? Was she a positive influence? Do you agree with the critics or people who praise her?

I'm starting to work on creating my own Fire Emblem game as of recently, and I thought it would be a great idea to ask you all what kind of character you would like to see.

For those who don't know already, Fire Emblem is a fantasy setting. I should definetly be able to add humans and dragons (manaketes) to the game, though anything beyond that isn't guarenteed.

If you have any ideas, please put them in the comments. A submission (sounds way too formal but idk what other word to use) should have a name, species (human or dragon/manakete), a gender (or specify agender), race, and a class. If you want to, get creative with the classes, as long as I understand what you mean, I should be able to get them to work within established FE classes. If you want to get really creative, come up with a physical description, and/or even a personality!

I'll turn on upvotes temporarily once post traction slows down, and whichever character has the most upvotes will be added. This means that, even if you don't want to design a character, you can support your fellow hexbears who created characters that you like. If there's a lot of submissions, I can pick the top few and do a recount, and then add the winner of the recount. If I have the space in the ROM, I could possibly even add multiple characters.

If you end up submitting, thank you, and I look forward to seeing what you all come up with.

I forgot to add, if you are interested in any established details about the game/story, feel free to ask. I would honestly love to talk about it!

I see this term a lot, people saying "that's just vulgar materialism!" I haven't seen an explanation of what it is yet.

My prediction is that the corpo media will take whatever babbles or mutters about and use sophistry to spin it into an epic comeback because the "horse race" mandate is that necessary for corpo news business models.

It will be startling, even to some casual observers, that might say "wait, that rambling about Hannibal Lecter is supposed to be part of an epic comeback that places at a 50/50 chance to win again? Did I just hear that from those talking heads on TV?" And they'll get used to that as the new normal but for a moment things will feel a bit unprecedentedly strange.

Need to post to my group chat and I need to show how cool I am

I'm trying to find decent sneakers that would last at least 3 years, preferably more, but that are not genocidal brands. It would be awesome if they didn't support slave labor and animal cruelty as well.

Internet doesn't provide help. https://huffsports.com/which-sports-brands-support-palestine/ Adidas? Nike? Puma?! Aren't those brands which actually support State of occupated Palestine called Israel?

Edit: Checked out some ethical sustainable brands in EU. Expensive, so I'll see if I want to spend that amount of money on sneakers, but, having Miret/Earthbound ones I bought on a really good discount, seems that's a good long-term sustainable eco ethical investment.

Emails: permanent written record I can refer to later

Can reply in my own time

Low labour

Low resource use

Phone call: Times/dates mentioned will be forgotten often

Active demand of time

I don't pick up because that phone number looks weird but also my phone's vibrate function is weak

High labour

High data cost per information

My shrink's office seems to want to keep billing information and past/present appointments secret. (This also seems to be worse in local industry, everything has to be a meeting instead of a two line email)

I hardly use the site and I just tried making an account to ask a question on a hobby subReddit.

The site is plagued by errors, every five seconds "We had a server error"

Any time I tried to post "You post was automatically removed" no explanation. And this isn't a "you posted something against the rules" kind of thing because the posts I was trying to make were the same as the one other people were making on the sub. Half the time even when I tried to comment on a post the "server encounted an error".

Not to mention the site blocks you if you try to use a VPN.

Is it because I'm using mobile Firefox? Who cares? If Lemmy can function fine on a mobile browser, Reddit, one of the most famous and popular social media platforms on the internet can.

So I deleted my account. Why bother having a Reddit account if you can't even use it? I know complaining about Reddit is cringe and overdone, but damn I had no idea how far the site had fallen.

I swear these popular sites are trying to destroy themselves. There is no logical reason they should be this broken. It's almost like these corporations are purposely trying to break the internet.

There's something special about "Patriot Day." It was so hastily scrapped together, overmined, and cynically exploited that I don't think even most chuds give a flying fuck about it all that much.

There may be attempts, again, to try to stoke that "9/11 spirit" that Glen Beck cried crocodile tears about. Any guesses to what might try, or if will vaguely remember to bring it up while talking about the Hannibal Lector treats?

I mean, I'm already looking into it on the internet and am asking my family who worked (and work) as professional drivers on how the job looks. However the family part is not very useful as all I get is either "Shit's hard, you won't last a day." or other condescending bullshit. I know shit's hard for fucks sake, good thing is for some fucking reason I like long distance driving. And dealing with assholes and idiots at the job? Yeah fucker, like I won't have to anywhere else, especially in IT.

But to add context, my father tried to work as one in Germany. He doesn't know German. Supposedly it was extremely difficult and cruel, couldn't do it, so he quit very quickly. Now, I don't think I'm built different, but I do think the actual company he was working for was the main culprit for the shit working conditions. Not to mention the language barrier.

I do plan and want to finish my Engineer's degree (undergrad), however for fucks sake I don't want to slave away on Github on shit I don't care for nor have an interest in to pad out my CV. And still, I'll be lucky to find anything that pays even OK, or will hire me in the first place, after getting my degree.

That's why I consider trucking in the Ireland and maybe UK, cause supposedly even entry level drivers get on average £30,000. Long distance £40,000. That's lods of fockin emone for me.

The median pay in Poland is 6550zł before taxes. That's something like £1294 a month. After taxes? 4800zł, that's something like £948 a month.

Now for the more realistic pay I'll get. Before taxes, minimum wage is 4242zł. 3261,53zł after taxes a month.

only 645 fucking pounds a month

Yeah mate, I'd like to own my own fucking home please. And with even £30,000 a year I'm gonna get there in like 4 or 5 years. No loans, no credit, nothin.

🎶 Sing a song of six pence, a pocket full of dosh Dibble dibble, dibble dibble, bosh bosh bosh 🎶

Thing is, the thing kinda sounds better than it really might be, despite me constantly looking into the reality of this difficult work. I don't know, the ££££emone££££ is really enticing for me to seriously consider it... and apparently there's a pretty big driver shortage on that island and it's wretched neighbor...

i cant help it. i really like how he looks.

My uncle asked me for a primer on socialism. I was thinking maybe Socialism Made Easy or Socialism: Utopian and Scientific. Anything that might be better?

For context my whole family are through and through vote blue liberals. It's sad to say but most of them didn't even like/vote for Bernie during the primary cycles. They aren't really hardcore anticommunists though and have always been good on unions and labor generally, moreso the problem is really anti-Trump/pro-Dem brainworms. Maybe there's something more modern to share that I don't know of.

Is there even a difference? Cat i found for size comparison👍

What are the methods you've found to make the most amount of money with the least effort? In Germany it seems that draining the government of funding is a great way to get rich. More specifically, getting paid to present shitty video game prototypes. This one managed to gather up 176.776€:

Any other ideas? My dream job is to one day become a perma-NEET. But first I gotta find a way.

Especially in the modern context in the year of our lord 2024. Is it relevant? What do I need to know about it ?

EDIT : Thanks everyone for this really informative thread.

Assuming that its accomplishments include moving manufacturing back into the US and securing the border, what good could come of a populist movement? The interests of the American labor aristocracy would just be consolidated with Imperialism to an even greater extent, and any conflict against China would see no resistance from organized labor because of the incestuous relation of the MIC and organized labor. Any anti-war movement would have no power at all, there would be no positive argument for stopping the conflict when it keeps everyone employed as contrast to the current state of unemployment and precarious work.

Potential benefits include the cessation of the export of capital, less capacity for the US to project power across the world, and less state repression of anti-imperialist movements. But I can't help but think that if the US pulled its production out of Asia, South America, Africa, and the Pacific, it would redo Gladio/Bloodstone to prop up fascists to hold down anti-imperialist movements, or create a dozen Israels to keep a way to quickly kill nascent revolutions. Am I wrong?

I'll give mine to get the ball rolling.

There was a user that, before getting banned, declared that every single living human being alive on Earth right now should not exist because no one had the benefit of a pre-conception device on hand to somehow determine each individual's consent to exist before they started to exist.

I don't know if that take would make David Benatar blush, make David Benatar cackle with glee, or if that was posted by David Benatar himself.

How did it go? What did you learn?
