It’s already too late. HL1 came out 27 years ago, HL2 came out 20 years ago.

Only old people will be hyped. Old people don’t hype well.

Only the cool kids know where to get FOSS.

It’s all funny until you realize that the people willing to go back will be a bunch of spineless loyal yes men.

There’s no mention of it in news in Denmark.

All the tabloids are pointing to this page as “source”: https://denmarkification.com/

It’s obviously a satirical site. My guess is that it’s made by an American.

I had a horror/comedy dream last night. It was pretty funny in hindsigt, so here it goes:

I am in my office at work, and I get a really important call regarding a case I’ve been working on (in real life) for a while. So I already know exactly what I want to say, but to my surprise my throat is so sore that I can hardly speak.

Every time I open my mouth I just either yell loudly or whistle silently. I only manage to say a few syllables in each breath.

This goes on for quite some time in which I barely manage to explain my unfortunate situation and that it’s important that they hear me out. The call repeatedly gets cut off and starts over, forcing me to go through the whole thing several times much to my frustration, before I realize that I’ve actually just been snoring in my sleep and wake up.

GrayJay seems to work for that.

A carving of Trumps face is hardly a national monument anymore than a statue of Lenin or Saddam Hussein was.

It would be vandalized very quickly, which could be a nice outlet for a lot of people.

With time it would probably turn orange from all the piss too.

In Voyager: settings/user tags/enable

To tag a user: go to their profile, click the 3 dots top right, add tag.

There are many posts preaching for the choir, but I wouldn’t call it an echo chamber. It’s more like a dead sound chamber where the ideas dies in agreement. It doesn’t bounce off the walls or resonate. It’s already there so no answer is required.

Lemmy would benefit from more users playing the devil’s lawyer, but I think it’s too small for anyone to use their main profile for that, and alt-accounts would quickly get blocked or banned.

Actual users with opposing views wouldn’t be of much help. Politics isn’t very nuanced these days. It’s not red or blue, left or right or whatever. It’s polarized into a new duality: Those that give a shit and those who are proud idiots. Lemmy is on the good side of this and will not benefit from being more accepting of idiots.

The plan was to go to the Titanic, which is on the bottom of the sea. Controller malfunction or not, the hull was the issue.

The original “academic” is a philosophy professor, so unless you want to act like The Thought Police, then you shouldn’t have any reason to be angry over this thought being thought.

Her actual paper also warns against the idea. The whole story was blown out of proportion by the media.

If you still want to shave her, you should probably ask for her consent.

Don’t worry. I’m on a streak. If I keep it going for 30 days I will unlock the flushing feature without having to pay for premium.

Nah, it doesn’t always make the news. I know of one time where they flew right over my house and there was no mention of it anywhere, so I tell this story every time anyone mentions those “routine” fly overs.

It was New Year 2019-2020 about noon.

The MIG came in from the Kattegat coast and roared through a fjord well below reasonable eardeafening altitude, which made me go outside to see what the fuck was going on. It got intercepted by one of our own F-16s and they did a few rounds of dog chasing right above my head before it flew like hell back towards Russia. The fucker must’ve dodged the Swedes on the way here.

Way out of line. It’s completely reckless to put some kid into a machine like that and have them fly this close to residential areas. Who knows what would’ve happened and how many people would’ve been hurt if the idiot had hit a tall antenna or lost control from the g-force or whatever. They were flying low, fast and swirling like moth being chased by a flyswatter.

The Russians are reckless assholes even in peace.

I suppose so. The only one I found explained was the donkey one.

A town was flooded in 1924 where they wasted a lot of time searching for a missing donkey. To avoid it happening again, they banned donkeys sleeping in bathtubs at night.

The cheese factory law is probably an interpretation of a more general law about not being allowed to sleep when working in food production.

The ban on kangaroos in barber shops also includes flamingos. I do not know the source of that, but Alaska does have a lot of strange laws about animals. Mostly moose.

It’s illegal to keep a sleeping donkey in a bathtub after 7 pm. in Arizona.

It’s illegal to fall asleep in a cheese factory in South Dakota.

It’s illegal to bring a kangaroo inside barber shops in Alaska.

The conspiracy theorists fall for the same falacy that they accuse the media and cops of doing: That it’s only interesting because the victim was a CEO.

If this has been any other shooting, they wouldn’t be theorizing about the “message” or reasoning in his manifest. Every fucking murderer has a message or believes in a reason to do what they do.

Until the proven killer has confessed and stated an actual message, the whole thing is entirely made up by people who want to align the story to their own interest.

It would be nice if organisations were run by people who were so dedicated to the job that they’d do it for free or at least on a survival wage, but it is difficult to find someone with both the right qualifications and the willingness to do it cheaply.

The figures aren’t outrageous for those positions and as a non-profit they do have a board who made the decision to pay those amounts.

It’s not like a private company where the owner/CEO can just grab the money. The board members voted to hire someone and offered those amounts.

If you want to change this kind of thing, you need to attend the annual meeting in which the board is elected. I’ve been elected to a few board positions in non-profit organisations and let me tell you: It’s really easy to get on a board. Most places have difficulties filling the positions or you can easily outcompete other candidates simply by wanting to be there. It’s boring as fuck, but important stuff sometimes happens and it’s a good experience to have.

So if you want to actually contribute to that non-profit, you might want to save your few dollars and instead give them some of your time to help them in the right direction. Assuming you’re dedicated to the cause in the first place that is. If you have something to say, you will be heard, because quite frankly, half the board members only come for the free food.

Some animals are more equal than others.
