People should be more lazy actually. Why the fuck is everyone working so hard? We are at peak capitalism, its already downhill since a decade back...

In peak capitalism, workers are maximum exploited and companies act like kings and get away from almost anything. So workers should work hard in this environment? I dont think so.

No, thats a conspiracy theory. There are no differences between anyone existing in the universe, we are all exactly the same.

How did you last 5 years of that crap? Your brain must be half broken now. Can you even focus for 10 minutes on a book or does your brain constantly feel the need for dopamine hit?

I see teenagers on the train on tiktok and they all seem lost.

Anyway i wouldnt worry about what people write there. Its not reality, its just kids with phones. But you should get off tiktok yes. :)

“Now this—this is the greatest sandwich ever created. We’re talking historic. It’s got the best balloney—the best, not that fake deli junk—they say it’s 100% truth meat, just like me. The Russian dressing? It’s strong, it’s bold, it respects strength. Putin himself said, ‘Donald, this dressing is beautiful.’ And the pickle—tiny, yes, but it gets the job done. Tremendous flavor, very efficient. Some people are even saying it’s a perfect sandwich—maybe even the most masculine sandwich of all time. Crooked media won’t admit it, but they’re eating it too, behind closed doors. Everybody wants a bite of the Trump Sandwich. It wins. It just wins.”

Your friends will actually be very curious if you do it.

Just do it. See it as a test of your inner strength. This is something i wouldnt dare to do myself, but that means i respect people who do!

Hitler got elected because people wanted change. And he was appearently very popular at first, with a very unique, strong and beautiful voice and nice blue eyes that the ladies went for. Tons of charisma.

Of course almost all mentions of Hitler shows him as a raving lunatic, because thats how we want people to think about him. But its dangerous, because it doesnt show how someone like that actually ended up in power and was popular and listened to by the entire country. How he did that is what we need to pay attention to. He probably had a simular mix of charisma, confidence and even charm that the orange man has.

You guys have to be careful to not let Trumpster get too far. They never teach at school how to go against leaders, because they want obedient workers. But you have to learn that and realize how some peoples brains are tricked into supporting someone like this.

You know, those oneliners may sound cool when you are a teenager, but they are signs of a mind who thinks in absolutes, because there is no wisdom yet.

It will come through life and getting older. :)

How did you try being nice? You have a war on everything... Drugs, freedom, privacy.. Im honestly not sure how you see yourself as being nice...

High road? Im also not sure how you took the high road. Im genuinely interested, maybe my perspective here is completely wrong.

Amazing guy. I always love those people who are honest when there is nothing to gain but self respect.

Most people dont say anything because they are afraid, and they know its not smart for their careers. But thats exactly why I like those people who are honest so much. They get a lot of shit for it and they do it anyway. Thats really cool i think. Thats being actual cool.

They are, because corporations are about taking as much profits away from others as possible and getting them for yourself. Its nothing nice about it. But it gives jobs.

This entire society is built on just taking resources, taking land, taking power from someone else, so you can benefit and not the others.

If there would be cooperation instead, humans could make a dream world here. But they cant. Its just in their fucking heads that they need to take more from others instead of sharing.

Yep piefed seems cool, and it should develop faster than Lemmy since its easier language to be quick in too.

Will check it out, just for fun. I prefer apps on my phone but of course everyone is different. Sometimes the web version is so good that the app is just a wrapper around a web browser anyway.

 

Seems very promising. Does not support async yet though but still.

 

Now you can play a game while spyware installs in the background.

 

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will conduct an emergency alert to all consumer cell phones on Wednesday, October 4, at 2:20 p.m. ET. This test measures the effectiveness of Wireless Emergency Alerts to determine how well FEMA can alert people of emergencies via cell phone.

Counterstrike 2 laggy (self.pcgaming)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by 1984 to c/pcgaming@lemmy.world
 

I tried CS2 yesterday and it had better graphics but felt laggy during play with other players. From what I've seen online, lots of people feels like it's just not smooth, which is pretty critical for a shooter.

I'm playing in 144Hz but it feels like 60hz and i get frequent lag spikes.

You guys tried it yet?

 

Just in case it wasn't obvious...

Uncapping (self.uncapthehouse)
submitted 2 years ago by 1984 to c/uncapthehouse
 

I had to do a web search to understand what uncapping meant... I guess its a sign that I dont follow these things very closely. :)

Uncapping refers to the idea of removing or raising the current cap on the number of members in the House of Representatives, which is currently set at 435.

The U.S. House of Representatives has had 435 members since 1913, except for a brief period from 1959 to 1963 when temporary members were added after Alaska and Hawaii became states. This number was capped permanently by the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929.

The call for "uncapping" the House has been a topic of discussion and debate among some activists and political analysts. They argue that the fixed number doesn't accommodate the growth of the U.S. population, leading to decreased representation for certain states and citizens as the population grows. For instance, when the cap was set in 1913, each representative served about 210,000 constituents. Today, with the U.S. population over 330 million, each representative serves an average of around 760,000 constituents.

Advocates for uncapping or raising the cap believe it would provide better representation and make the House more responsive to the needs of a larger and more diverse population.
 

This one is pretty cool for quick navigation. :)

 

As a very happy Kagi user since launch, I think you should check out this search engine. It's fantastic.

 

This was a very interesting read.
