A part of me wonders if Obama really wanted to say that. But then again, Obama is also part of the corporate machine.

Trains AND high schools in Utah?

I thought it was silly and funny. It has classic Reddit all over it.

Honestly I miss early AI.

I miss the ugly art. I miss the weird tangents. I miss Will Smith eating spaghetti and consuming himself.

I know you can set up a quick AI to relive this… But it was better when it was the norm.

I live in three different cities and in those cities, people use train, subway, and trolley interchangeably.

Thanks Obama.

Would love for your mod experience to come over here!

There’s a lot of growth and community organization we need at Lemmy!

I never even heard of Blorp.

That’s what makes this piece of the internet so cool.

AI brings MAGA a reality they can’t have. Like family who likes them, children who didn’t abandon them, and support a President who didn’t cheat on his wives, have multiple divorces, rape a bunch of girls and may have killed a kid.

That’s what happened in Cyberpunk. Internet became garbage because of rogue AI.

You get 10+ texts in a row?

I usually respond in paragraph form and then as they’re typing a reply, I panic and ghost them for another day.

Will somebody please think of the poor dad who was drunk who fired the gun that killed his young adult daughter, who has a boyfriend, a future, a life of opportunities cut short?

First rule of gun ownership is you point your gun only at what you want to destroy.

Guns are not false threats. They are not tools to make everyone chill out.

As a gun owner, I don’t “show” people my gun unless I plan to destroy them.

I know for sure the best time to clean my pistol is during a heated argument.

I came to this comment when you had -2, which was ridiculous.

It’s really frustrating reading Lemmy commenters like, “America do something!” Like God damn! The news doesn’t want to report on all the work the millions of Americans have been doing to protect our streets because they’re paid by billionaires.

Pretty much. Going to bet that maga nut had that whole complaint prepared days in advance for this.

Average conversion at the supermarket

Not sure who is downvoting this. If you’re young, you may have never experienced this in your life. But this comment nailed it.

I’ve reached an age where Im reminded of this constantly at all levels.

• I’m here for the money or conservative principles, never intended to change anything, and didn’t sign up for this shit: Retiring to my Swiss chalet.

This one is the most common from my perspective. A lot of cheery hopefuls run for politics for one or two very specific causes. Then after watching the slow machine of government move and it takes 9 months to even get traction on their cause, they check out mentally and are just staying for the money.

In my town, while ICE is kidnapping people off the street, half of the local gov are silent because their political platform was to upgrade a park’s dog area, or provide snacks for libraries, not dealing with armed masked goons.

For every AOC out there, there’s a thousand acting gov officials that quietly just want a paycheck and healthcare, and then causally run again unopposed.

Five years ago, a open-source project I worked on moved to Zulip (from Slack) and it was a small hurdle. But after a month, I really like it!

So much that I’ve pushed a few other open source projects (who lived on Discord).

I was really surprised when I started a new job two years ago and THEY used a self-hosted Zulip. It’s everything Im used to on Slack.

Discord has team speak/video sharing, which I don’t think Zulip has. But then again, we use something else for video calls.
