21st century Russia would turn Ivan the Terrible’s stomach.

The internet comments, apparently

It’s true. The times I’ve gone to the polls in America, I’ve had to rely on voters guides. There are too many issues to properly research.

It’s really jarring. Especially when someone makes him laugh? It’s like hearing Bob Ross shriek. You don’t do that.

Yes, so much. I listened to that book and his writing voice is a lot less natural, almost stilted. I’m so used to his style of highly refined extemporising that hearing him read aloud weirds me out. Dan if you’re in danger blink twice! Help is on the way just do whatever they ask!

Let’s be real, they’re audiobooks

At the risk of being super obvious… Give Hardcore History a try. It’s long, highly subjective, and the subject matter tends toward intense subjects.

I see people who are showing concern borne of experience, and with marked consensus. If you’re confident they’re wrong about your situation, it still may be worth reflecting on what they’ve learned and to limit your ambitions - or at least, consider building things on a more conservative timeline than you were imagining. Have big dreams, but start with biting off an amount you can certainly chew.

What the fuck is a gaming browser. Browsers show web pages.

If I was alone, get satellite internet and set up a solar powered remote working squat in some remote desert outpost. Far from the impending water wars.

Since I have family I’ll just uh probably still drink. My kid’s a handful.

We have middle sibling energy at best

It’s very twee, but it has ironic capabilities.

I like rhyming slang. Mostly for torturing my fellow Americans. I also enjoy clunge, jobbie, and being “sick to bastard death” about things.

The Australians have my heartstrings though, when it comes to inventive slang. They’re not here to fuck spiders, tell you that much for free.

They’re right that we should at minimum not allow them to define how we talk about this, and we should call it what it is.

But we should also have a plan to avoid getting put in a concentration camp when we do so. Stay safe, and be good everyone.

They haven’t. I saw Short Circuit 2 this year again and it’s really unfortunate how much the appalling racism sullied an otherwise charming film. It was especially dear to me as a kid because there was a Johnny 5 animatronic at my science museum, and it encouraged in me a lot of hope for the future. I miss having that optimism.

Yeah no, it’s not the best. But I’d still curl that monkey’s paw any day

Y’all paying what rent should cost just to have electrons

It’s the worst thing about Lemmy and all it really does is make me more hesitant to squander potential friends by acting shitty, and less liable to spend hours chatting.

At that age it’s less about the math imo and more about the maturity levels and clear communication/mutual good intentions.

I’m not sure how to interpret your counterpoint. Can you clarify? It’s an unprofitable business model unless people pay and don’t use it?
