Over clocked remix

You are awesome.

Lemmy is better for you being here. Thanks for the reading material!

I’m just going to assume those 4 dollar words are real and you aren’t just misspelling normal words to fuck with us.

Non surjective free magma? What about the doblastic amortized basalt?

Nice.

When I was in high school and I replied to the appearance of an army recruiter in my social studies class I objected to his presence there with the phrase, “surely you don’t think it’s appropriate for you to be here recruiting impressionable youth to bomb brown people in the name of fascism?” My teacher made me stand in the hallway and gave me a “0” on the days quiz. There was no fucking quiz.

That just goes with a territory of having an iPhone. When you bought that device you signed on to a culture of consumption that is enforced by the developer of that device.

The developer can’t force Apple to let the developer give it to you for free. Apple doesn’t tolerate free very well and anything that is free on Apple is likely either a privacy nightmare or is paid for by some subscription you have with Apple.

This isn’t a problem with the app It’s a problem with the Apple.

I think it’s short for negligently discharged but it’s kind of stupid to shorten that. I can’t imagine what reason there is to not just write " negligently discharged".

Frankly I think calling it a “negligent discharge” is giving the officer too much credit. The gun shouldn’t even have been unholstered. Guns are used to shoot not threaten. If he was pulling the gun out then he intended to fire it and if he pulled the gun out without intending to fire it then it wasn’t a negligent discharge it was an incompetent booger hooking by a pants shitting coward.

The series has a very satisfying conclusion.

It’s one of the coolest fucking things we watched this last year.

My hourly rate for tutoring is actually about 50% higher than my hourly rate for on call support which is about 100% higher than my hourly rate for work.

I’m trying to afford groceries here, It’s not 90 days payable It’s pay-per-play. I’m tired of trying to finance an inhaler while the boss’s favorite child can’t decide on a font color and thinks that 5 minute phone calls at 7:30 on a friday are free.

Am the grammar an spelling part of joke?

It turns out unemployment is low if you don’t count most of the people that are unemployed!

Me too but I always knew that it was my eyes not the maximum draw distance of the universe that was to blame.

If light got tired, wouldn’t everything get blurry the further away it were?

They are really pulling out all the stops for the new “Raft” sequel.

My father used to make fun of me for saying that I could hear the TV on even if it was muted, or that I could hear the furnace ‘scream’ before it came on.

One year, I got as a gift for Christmas, a handheld recorder and a fancy microphone from my stepfather a university music professor And that recorder could actually record the sound which he was able to show me on the computer.

That was like 25 years ago, I’ve been working with computers ever since, and now I am familiar with many many many devices that make high pitch whines.

Politicians corrupt cronies fund politicians party and get that party’s protection. It seems pretty obvious now that that’s what happened.

It’s almost literally the plot of the beekeepers If it took place in Australia and it was a shitty real estate company rather than scam call center.

My comment is not long enough for you to have misquoted me twice. You can literally read the entire comment while you are responding to it even if you’re on mobile.

I also went on to explain why just because you don’t choose what the government does, doesn’t mean your vote is irrelevant.

It’s also not me making that claim It’s Princeton University that had a particularly well cited study showing that your vote actually does not influence the policy decisions of lawmakers.

Your vote is about preventing the creation of policy that is even worse. It’s not about enabling the creation of policy that is good. We are not at the phase of our relationship with our government where we can make them do good things. If we don’t keep working towards that we will backslide into fascism.

You have the wrong expectations if you think your vote is going to tell the government what to do. We’re just not there yet. You still have to vote If you’d like to get there one day.

Well then it’s a good thing I never asserted that voting doesn’t matter.

Yes voting is important, but it doesn’t have the impact we often think it does.

The people we vote for aren’t necessarily going to be able to make policies we want, That’s not the reason why voting is so important right now. It might be one day, and I hold out hope that if I keep voting for democracy, it’ll happen.

Voting right now is basically an up or down vote on “should we keep seeking democracy?”

The Republican party is perfectly willing to make policies we do not want, and their end goal is actually the end of democracy.

So although our votes won’t necessarily compel the government to take actions we want it to take, they can help prevent it from taking actions we would like it to not take.

It’s a shitty deal, but considering the alternative…

Trump didn’t get into office because he got the most votes.

In fact voting as important as it is doesn’t actually decide what the government does. There was a whole Princeton study about this recently that your vote essentially has no impact on what the government chooses to do.

Voting is largely a public demonstration of how much we are willing to tolerate the government turning on us in any given year. The fewer people that show up to vote the more quickly we march towards fascist dystopia.
