Agreed. Lemmy seems to be Linux, Star Trek, politics, and a dash of shitpost.

I can handle all of it except the constant feed of politics. It's a US election year so that probably accounts for a lot of it.

I absolutely agree, eating meat should count as eating at least one salad too.

That's 32 earth seconds when rounded.

It's probably the difference between life and death in this scenario.

4/2=2, upside down.

(1/4) / (1/2) = (1/4) * 2 = 2/4 = 1/2

"My son's murder is not a terrible tragedy regardless of how many times you reiterate those words in order to feel better," she said. "My son's murder was 100% avoidable."

God damn she worded that well. I'm glad she called out their bullshit pity party.

At the risk of sounding like a conspiracy theorist, that's why I've been curious.

I'm pretty confident we wouldn't show our hand on that defense strategy, but there's no way there's not a plan for it. It's obviously better for everyone to avoid a need for that strategy in case it doesn't work perfectly.

I've legitimately been curious about this. The nuclear arms race has been a threat for so long, do western countries really not have a mitigation strategy for them?

I assume we could shoot down any intercontinental weapons, and any airplane that entered allied airspace would immediately be shot down before it could drop a nuke.

Your statement implies a gayer mf'er on the other side of the Mississippi. Be the gayest mf'er on both sides of the Mississippi.

I would say most of those examples don't advocate violence. Don't get me wrong, they're controversial, but they aren't immediately calling for violence.

Roger Stone posting a picture of a judge with crosshairs next to her head - that was directly advocating violence.

That's the "tenacity" bit in this comic.

You won't get lucky and win the lottery unless you buy a ticket. But there's still a huge amount of luck involved once you make the effort.

Yeah, I got the impression that he's just opportunistic.

My dumbass cost about $6000 by eating plastic and suffering near kidney failure from not being able to eat.

They finally figured out it was plastic blockage, yanked it out, and she bounced back in a couple days.

Lesson: if your cat likes to chew plastic and starts looking bad, get an ultrasound first.
