It requires a Facebook account to use.

Facebook is privacy invasive.

If you're tech literate, there's much better headsets.

If you're not tech literate, there's VR for consoles.

Damn it Jerry, stop getting children killed by Israel!

And for sure they are, but n95's are best and since the stockpiles were depleted and/or expired and manufacturing capacity was at nil and shipping was jammed a lot of people died that didn't need to, not to mention the credibility erosion that could get more people killed in the future as well.

On the other hand a lot of people started questioning the USA in general so that's something but I'd still rather that happened without unnecessary pain and suffering.

I mean, "experts" did lie about COVID, but not predominantly that it exists. Fauci lied about the effectiveness of cloth masks over N95s because the US can't produce shit to save their lives (literally). So your relatives are partially right, but they've been propagandized against anything that could give them the full answer (like that supply chain issue was a crisis of capitalism and capitalism can't handle real crises, rather it often causes them) so unless they can overcome that partial truths are probably the best you're gonna get from them. I just interact with people like that as little as I can for my own sanity.

Donald Trump has entered the Canadian girlfriend phase of his trade war with China

Don't ask for it, just take it

Satan's too busy running United Health.

Well, except for that one time he got sent home.

That's just because they recognize that the US isn't a democracy. Don't need the peoples vote when the peoples vote don't matter.

Comrade Shark: Eating shit to make the Israelis eat shit

 

My understanding is limited because my knowledge of Mandarin is limited but it seems like a lot of the characters have translingual meanings that can be recognized and interpreted by speakers of other languages that also use Chinese characters. If this is indeed the case, is there any reason English sentences and texts couldn't simply be written in these characters to be read by speakers of English and other languages who read them since English doesn't already have logograms anyway (besides numbers) and there's a void that could be filled? Like the sentence structures might be strange to a Mandarin speaker but possibly still interpretable.

I swear I'm not high [right now].

 

and his Dad actually wanted him and gave him a hug and Amazon is a non-profit that delivers everything you want but only on Fridays and is super eco-friendly and paid people a living wage and people wanted to work there the rest of their lives and could?

So always remember to treat people well (unless they become Jeff Bezos)

 

I know I'm about 9 days behind on this but how much do you want to bet that Trump pardons him on the Federal charges?

 

A general outline would suffice, just trying to get a sense of the scale

 

Except for the people who knew better and chose a third party that was against genocide (Claudia/Karina)

 

You know what thread I'm talking about.

Edit: Sorry, I saw so many fellow bears there that I assumed everyone knew about it. Since there's been a few requests, here's the link.

 

Was reading about The Offspring due to this post here: https://lemmy.ml/post/2628198

As I read their Wikipedia page I noticed that Dexter Holland (lead singer) has a PhD in Molecular Biology. Then I remembered that Greg Gaffin (lead singer) of Bad Religion has a PhD in Zoology.

Is this a trend in Punk Rock or am I noticing a freak coincidence? If not punk rock, is there any genre that stands out in its number of highly educated artists?

 

For me it's Planetina. While the whole episode was as chaotic as any episode, I felt that her arc through the episode was extremely deep for such a brief appearance, rife with symbolism and philosophy.

 

Even if we're subscribed to them? Could a temp block exist in conjunction with a subscription? I love c/memes but holy shit no matter which sort I select by they've managed to overwhelm my feed.
