e; I should read better, someone else asked this here already

Daily Mail readers

I don’t know anything for sure, but if he were a registered confidential informant with some agency they could shut down investigations and prosecutions for him

Related personal theory that I have no evidence for - Donald Trump was turned into an FBI asset sometime in the late '80s or early '90s to get them info on Russian mobsters that were running around NYC in his circles but he flipped on them at some point and they decided to sweep the whole thing under the rug rather than air their dirty laundry

protect our fellow citizens humans from kidnapping, torture, and death.

Forgive the pedantic nitpicking, but we are so much more than our relationship to a state

Otherwise, excellent comment

One of the better moments of my life was when I confessed a bunch of stuff like this to a friend after flaking on him and he said “Yeah, I know you lied about why you couldn’t make it, you’re a really bad liar. I think probably all of your friends know who you are by now and they like you anyway.”

He tossed it off like the most casual thing in the world, but the whole “you’re not fooling anyone but some people still like you anyway” thought turned into a mantra for me that keeps the imposter syndrome and anxiety manageable.

[rips blunt] The dissonant design philosophies between the text and the image emphasize how technological progress guided by an uncaring market will gradually create greater psychological distance between people over time

I have, but I also have a touch of dysgraphia, so my handwriting is serviceable but really slow (like, the 2d spatial relation skills of being able to keep the different bits of letters proportioned to each other takes active concentration for me), whereas I can use keyboard without thinking about it

Incidentally, the fact that cursive was a graded subject for me in elementary school that almost led to me getting held back a grade probably played a big part in who I grew up to be (i.e. someone who usually doesn’t like authority figures but does like misfits and outcasts)

You’re the only program that loads quickly enough on my pile of junk machine to write down my impulsive ADHD ideas before I forget them so I can forget to read them later

Ah yes, progressives and leftists, notoriously concerned with government waste and undeserving foreigners, this original tweet definitely wouldn’t have any effect on the “I’m not racist but” moderates that the Biden and Harris campaigns chased after by getting tough on asylum seekers and talking about having the most lethal military in the world /s

Incidentally, what do you suppose that watermelon in the reply name means?

Wow, if they invented the word they must really have had a lot of respect for this kind of person throughout their history

I mean, jazz goes from like Kenny G to Sun Ra. There’s a type of jazz for every drug trip, I’d like to believe.

How hard is it to manipulate votes on Lemmy instances? I’m guessing the answer varies depending on the instance but I don’t think it’s completely impossible on any of them.

“Imposing any kind of environmental regulations in businesses would destroy the entire economy, concludes team of economists paid by those businesses. Coming up next - are you doing enough to protect your family from dangerous toxins in our environment? We’ll tell you what a dumb and lazy piece of shit you are, after these ads!”

“They asked me how well I understood class consciousness. I said I was a member of the conscious class. They said welcome aboard.”

Ah, you’re totally right,thank you, I’d been using those interchangeably without thinking about it much

Synthesis: everyone should have a well constructed residence with ample sound dampening where late night fireworks and early morning traffic noise wouldn’t be a problem. Capitalist real estate developers minimizing their costs and maximizing their profits have us fighting each other when they’re the real problem.

e; I was actually thinking microphones would pick up and retransmit sounds after running it through some reverb and flanging to get a cozy underwater effect, but damping external sounds makes a lot more sense

FWIW, the article author also wrote a book called “Freedom from Want: The Human Right to Adequate Food”
