Elon Musk will not receive highest-level government security clearance – reports in c/news
[–] Chainweasel 1 points 13 seconds ago

It's inevitable.
They're both extreme narcissists and only Trump has any legitimate power out of the two. Eventually musk will try too hard to control him and Trump will use everything in his power to destroy him, which thanks to the Supreme Court is now unlimited.
So I'd expect to see the IRS weaponized against Musk sometime in the next 12 months at the absolute latest.

There was a guy outside of Taco Bell in Columbus Ohio who was begging for money so he could get himself a burrito.
So I went inside and bought the man several burritos and soft tacos and a large drink. I walked back out and handed it to him, and he promptly threw it straight in the trash and looked in the eye and reminded me that he had asked for money.

Should people get preferential treatment because they have kids? in c/nostupidquestions
[–] Chainweasel 36 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I don't have kids myself, but I understand that it's the employers fault they don't extend the same privileges to me, not the parents fault for receiving the privilege.

Israel launches dozens of airstrikes on Syria despite rebel leader's peace pledge in c/world

They're just bound and determined to start WW3 aren't they?
At some point they'll piss off another major player in the region like Saudi Arabia or Turkey and it'll snowball into a conflict that can't be talked down.

Is it because they're moving to the coast, or because the coast is moving to them?

For those who play games using a controller, do you use your middle and index fingers to use the triggers or just your index fingers? in c/asklemmy

Middle fingers on triggers.
Index fingers on shoulder buttons.

None of this would have been possible without Moscow Mitch to begin with.

[bug] can't highlight text at all to copy. (self.lemmyconnect)

Long pressing on a comment has always collapsed it unless you were replying to the comment, then you could long press to highlight a string of text to quote for a reply.
Now, long pressing closes the parent in reply mode and there is no way to highlight text to copy for quoting purposes.

every left leaning person should be exercising their second amendment right. (self.politicaldiscussion)

Every self-respecting Democrat or leftist who cares about themselves or their family should own a firearm and know how to properly and safely use it.
We're entering a time where it may be critical that you need to defend yourself. It is not out of the realm of possibility that you or your family may be targeted in the not distant future for your political leanings.
We all know that the Republicans have guns because they never shut the fuck up about them, and we also know that in their wildest wet dreams Trump will let them run the streets gunning down anyone who is isn't white or anyone who voted Democrat.
They have guns, they know how to use them, how are you going to defend yourself when they come for you?

why isn't anyone calling for Trump to drop out. (self.nostupidquestions)
 

I get it, Biden is old and that's a problem, but why doesn't anyone seem to have a problem with the fact that Trump is almost the same age, has 34 felonies, raped at least 2 women, went to Epstein's Island 11 times, sexualized his own daughter, stole classified documents, aligned himself with Xi and Putin, and can't remember common names?

Is all of that really better than being 2½ years older than he is right now?

My OS is on a 512gb M.2 drive, but the main storage on my laptop was a 1TB HDD, it started making noise about 2 weeks ago so I backed everything up onto a 1TB SanDisk USB SSD. This afternoon it got very clicky when I booted it up after work and icons for a few games I had stored on it, like KSP and YUZU, disappeared from the desktop and taskbar.

We already knew the September release date, nothing has changed on that front.

But, There are a few other interesting things. Mainly We're likely to see at least 5 more bob books but that's subject to change.
And Roadkill 2 is coming!!

If we're supposed to be able to understand math as easily as a language, we should be able to read it from left to right like a language.
Yes, I know there's lots other languages that go right to left or top to bottom, but the point is you don't have to go jumping around the page or sentence figuring out which word should be read first based on which characters it contains.
We put the first word first, then the second word second, etc.
Why can't we just write equations in the order they were meant to be solved?
