I think this is a big chunk of it and the other large portion is the fact that the DNC picks terrible candidates to back. Harris is leaps and bounds better than Biden, but Biden was the nominee up until a monthish ago despite everyone’s objections. He barely beat Trump I’m 2020 and prior to that they backed Clinton who gave Trump four years in the White House to begin with.

They need to stop catering to the right and fucking get behind the leftist people that actually support the party.

I think the problem is they don’t want this to become a ‘thing’ with people trying to push the envelope further and further.

Flathead/standard not a straight Philips.

The latter is aided by the same things as the former. Too many youtubers condition young men to think that women are the problem and the fact that they don’t take care of themselves or socialize with others doesn’t matter and it’s really the fault of everyone else. I used to online game with a couple of these guys who weren’t too bad until recently. They were both basically shut-ins who still somehow held strong beliefs about the outside world and why things are the way they are even though they didn’t really participate with the outside world.

There’s the story of singer Ted Nugent who, like his fellow far-right “patriot” buddy Trump, dodged the draft during Vietnam. He apparently refused to bathe for months and kept shitting his pants so that they’d declare him unfit for service and it worked.

Sees letter is dated 2004…

Why have you done this to me?

I don’t think that’s exclusive to men.

Know what else is in October? HALLOWEEN and all the wickedness!

Unless you have the giant skeleton from Home Depot and dress it for each following holiday.

People have no idea how fortunate this is until it’s gone. Several years ago we had a bad algae bloom in the river that supplies our water and we couldn’t drink it for a couple weeks. Every store in town was out of water and you had people with well water leaving hoses and signs out front of their house offering it up to people. One Pilot gas station tried scalping 6 packs of Dasani for ~$50. It’s so crazy how you take it for granted until you can’t just go to the sink to fill up a cup of water (we have excellent tap water) along with taking for granted the fact that stores have bottled water on the shelves.

Ever since then we’ve kept a small stock pile of water in the garage just in case.

The speed of love.

They’re saying you can pirate a copy from the high seas to keep on Plex/Jellyfin but pay for a digital copy in order to pay the artists/studios. You won’t want to rely on Prime Video to actually store or watch your purchases because it’ll be disappointing in both regards.

Often times on this sub there’s always an alternative being proposed, so I’m a bit shocked that this time most of the answers are simply “no”.

That’s simply because we can make our own rules and don’t have to abide by the terms IP holders set. Studios won’t give out DRM free media because then you can just copy it and share it online easily. That’s not to say you can’t already do that with current media, but there are ‘barriers’ in place along with laws against it.

As far as paying artists, with regards to TV and movies, who would you even pay of the hundreds/thousands of people that it takes to create them?

It’s real hit or miss. I’ve had TSA search through my daughters bag of Goldfish looking for stuff in a podunk little airport while I’m rushed through in busier international airports.

Someone took Monster’s “$100 gold plated HDMI” cable and one-upped it.

Carl is an amalgamation of 4Chan users as a whole, so it makes sense.

That’s my gripe with it. Its single comment fills the entire screen of my phone when scrolling past and it uses gigantic font, a big separator line (?), and links mixed with text mixed with more links.

Additionally, it fucks with the “new comment” and “hot” sorting, depending on how active Lemmy is at the time, by spamming post after post with a comment even though there is no actual discussion happening.

That’s how it always goes but after a year or two the prices hit rock bottom once the market is flooded as long as there aren’t weird restrictions on licensing.

Does Ohio not have medical marijuana for sale? Typically these stores just switch to retail + medical or open a second branch to keep them separate depending on how the state laws are written.

Nah tankies are just people who push pro-China and pro-Russia propaganda. I haven’t even ever seen one of them actually talk about communism.
