And as we enter the “Entire cities burning down” part of climate change the world will do… Absolutely nothing.

But normally the fucking happens in way-off corners of the country that the majority is happy to not think about.

Not that it makes it right, in any sense, but the grand fucking canyon? Conservatives are getting more brazen by the day.

The criminal court gave him a pass. I believe this is a civil lawsuit from the families of the victims.

It’s not justice but it would be better than nothing to make sure he dies broke.

I don’t know what the whole answer would be, but a huge part of it would be whiskey.

Hurt my knee cuz I sat down wrong. Had to add “can’t tuck my leg behind me when I sit” to the old man list.

Always the nature. I’m probably more “west” than Midwest but, hiking, camping, mountain biking… What more could you want?

It’s not that anyone had to do anything.

But if a particular demographic is dying more frequently of a specific cause, it’s worth digging into why that’s happening. These are people for fucks sake.

Never tried meth but I was homeless for a time. I can absolutely see why you’d flock to it if you live on the street.

It’s not safe to sleep, even more so at night. Cops make a habit of stealing/destroying your stuff, and because of that other homeless people steal your shit. It makes you feel invincible, helps you ignore the cold, and 10 bucks keeps you high for 2 days.

It’s all well and good to say don’t do drugs, but not having a place can really change your priorities in ways you’d never expect.

I’m a fan of Lemmy, for the memes and link aggregator aspect of it. And sense of community, there are trolls but it’s generally pretty positive.

I also like the Old Internet feel that the Fediverse in general has. I’m going out and looking for things that interest me again rather than hoping for something new to come into my feed. Actually reading articles. Commenting more than twice a year.

We’ll see what happens but overall, I think I’m staying.

He’s justifying it by saying she was being disrespectful. I wasn’t there, maybe she was, but that’s kinda what you sign up for as mayor. I’ve been disrespected worse, for less money.

Nah my job is terrible I’m barely getting the due benefits lol. Thank you though. I figured I’d have to do something malicious for it to matter, but I’ve never even thought about this stuff.

It is kinda odd that they ask at all.

It almost reads to me like he worries how much support he had in Moscow. If the Wagner group is 25k strong and 100s of kilometers away why flee? Unless there seems to be grumbles from the royal guard about killing their countrymen over 1 dude.

Launching a nuke would have to be the dumbest thing Putin could do. A huge chunk of NATO must already be salivating at the internal chaos.

I bet Polish social media is on fire right now.

How many do they have not in Ukraine… Who are also willing to kill fellow Russians? If the average Russian military sentiment is, “Eh, let them through” this could be huge.

Plus a lot of the “Royal Guard” may be well-connected rich kids who are even less inclined to fight.

Way too soon to know for sure, but. 🍿

I believe most of them have a “free” mode, but it’s just a matter of time. Peloton was floating bricking their treadmills without a subscription but I think they backed down. Still, why would I buy anything that could be remote bricked?

Fortunately a lot of normal countries have laws against stuff like that. We may have to buy Australian treadmills in the future.

Someone who’s more informed than me, please chime in.

As I understand it Alexis stepped away from the board(?) of reddit in 2020. Supposedly in protest after George Floyd was murdered. I believe he’s just your standard “Hey look, I’m woke too!” venture capitalist nowadays. Likely still heavily invested in reddit, seeing as I don’t think he’s spoken out on the controversy lately.

He caught a lot of heat for firing Victoria back in 2015 iirc.

Most of what I saw about him was from his own website so take it all with a huge grain of salt.

Although as much as I hate to give props to a rich guy, he does put on a much better Real Human act than spez, Musk, or Zuc.

I feel like this would be highly dependent on your resume.

Might catch some looks if your work experience is mostly Dennys and Walmart and you’re trying to hide a six month gap behind an NDA.
