Now you're roughly getting how I felt reading the comment from OP!

80% over 24 is pretty solidly an "old people thing."

As an old man I demand those 20% get off my facebook and turn down that 101 gecs!

I am so glad I left this bubble for a spell, because it's fun to come back and see all the great new propaganda tactics being floated. Blue maga is hilariously internet! Love that for you.

Anywho, blaming the dems for trump winning, and ignoring all the people who voted for him is not coping, but pointing out that cities are liberal havens is?

I guess I'll get back to focusing on my job instead of lemmy nonsense, because this place has always been completely unreasonably biased nonsense. My job is in a blue state whose taxes pay for the welfare of the rest of this shithole of a country, after all, so if I don't do it, those trump supporters can't buy his merch!

It's not. My family is anti-trump, and mostly harmless these days.

But blaming the democrats for the people who voted republican is a stupid online trick that both sidesers like to use.

The fact is, if the democrats were "more in touch with this country" they'd all act like Trump. That's what this country wants. That's what this country deserves.

Or it shows that when you are truly awful, racist, homophobic, transphobic, idiots, your children move away from you to the cities where they don't have to talk or interact with you, which concentrates the intelligent and worthwhile portion of the population into blue centers that aren't evenly distributed across the electoral college?

She isn't a controlling spouse, she's a controlling housewife in an exaggerated disappointing version of a post-nuclear American family.

The show states over and over again that Walt believes a man provides for his family... a necessarily and pointedly gendered role that is central to his entire character's motivations. Skyler's nagging is framed exactly in relation to his perceived shortcomings with respect to this gendered expectation.

In a gay relationship you don't tend to just mirror straight relationships but the bottom replaces the women, or something. So you can't just conjure Skyler as a dude and make it make any sense as a family.

When there are two or more men coming together, usually they all have their own separate careers and plans for life. There is no template gay relationships have to build off of, and having children is way more difficult and complicated. We have to define everything for ourselves.

None of the tropes that are foundations of Breaking Bad work if you swap the genders of the characters. If walt were a woman nothing she does would make sense to the audience and the treatment from her annoyed husband would be absolute nonsense. Why would he expect her to provide for the family? Why would he expect her to man up? Etc?

Don't touch her, she'll steal your football powers!

They would be android devices, then.

So no. They wouldn't be good.

A mild copyright violation based on a system designed around the constant distribution of copies of things is NOT a parable about sexual violence, people.

I feel like this extremely insensitive rape take is the fediverse's version of the Godwin Law.

Read up on RCS' history, and current standard.

RCS is a clown college of brokenness that doesn't include encryption, and not even all of the telcoms in the country put together could make an official client for it. It is no more a standard than iMessage, and it certainly isn't as good of one.

 

Enterprises including KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, SAP, Porsche, Lowe's, and EnBW have publicly confirmed using Apple Vision Pro with custom visionOS software.

This just seems like good news for VR as an industry.

I think this is a (minor) bug I noticed just now.

A post with the green megaphone from a sub that I subscribe to was showing up in All just now evening though I have the option turned on to hide subscribed in All/Local.

Specifically this is the post in question:

Edit: on further thought, I'm not sure if the announcement part matters since I see other subs with that green megaphone in my Home feed and not in All. Sorry this is a terrible bug report.

It would be nice to be able to block instances from the context menu now that it's a supported feature of Lemmy!

Justification:

The scaled All feed was just spammed with tests from the same instance but different communities. I was able to block the individual communities, but didn't see an option to block the instance.

The instance in this case is some longish IP address-like numbers with extra words after, and I couldn't find a way to copy past it to the block instances section of the app.

I apologize if this has been posted. I searched but didn't find the request for added UX, just lots of asks for blocking instances itself prior to the addition to Lemmy.
