This is interesting, I’m currently in Japan and noticed the Starbucks here are huge with many tables and chairs and they are packed with people sitting and reading, doing homework, etc. Many don’t have drinks or appear to hang out there all day.
Why has America made everything so hostile?
And here is the original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X13N-Bx17Oc
Yup. I hope they make it through this.
I read every line and looked at every picture. I feel we owe it to them, to at least look at their faces and read their stories.
They were so happy and beautiful. Clearly very loved.
I agree, losing it would feel like losing the library of Alexandria. We do need more doing this!
Yeeah, I watched the first little bit of it, and it’s a rather disjointed collection as well.
Got a guy describing the working conditions in the usa. That seems on point, then a girl ranting about how her guests came over and ate half a fruit (left the other half of the plum uneaten) and drank only one sip of a water bottle, and how wasteful they were and how it got on her nerves. Then makes a show of finishing their “disgusting” half eaten plum and gross sipped on water bottle.
That’s not a boring dystopia, it’s a lady mad at wasteful guests. I suppose it could be tangentially related to a wasteful society contributing to the dystopia, but her example of guests in her home not finishing every bite of food and drink they were offered is just weird. Also, how are you going to go on a massive rant about wasteful guests while providing them single use water bottles.
Well, I think the self driving taxis across the us apparently need human interaction every 6 minutes on average… So are they self driving? I don’t know.
We can’t use our phones and drive, but someone can have a screen and drive 6 cars at the same time…
Wow, I left the US ten years ago, I had no idea it had got this bad. You need a VPN to browse porn? :(
Yup. When we went to buy a TV I knew this was happening because the smart TVs with wifi and extra hardware and software were cheaper than the dumb TVs. Nothing is free, I knew they had to be doing this shit.
That is a scam, they probably send mass texts linked to tracking numbers that have a registered phone number.
Odd, I don’t recall private lobbies being a thing, and a quick google shows lots of people asking for them and a few “workarounds”. Perhaps they are a recent addition or a console thing?
I bought Red Dead Redemption for myself and three friends, super excited about the game, the lore. I had never spent that much money on a game.
We all played through the single player tutorial, and finally into the open world. We meet up and begin exploring and trying to complete quests when suddenly one of us just … drops dead.
Then another is hit by a meteor and caught on fire?
I am thrown up into the sky.
An alien ship?! Appears and messes with us for a while. I try begging in pub chat for the hacker to please leave us so we can play, which seems to goad them further. This continued for an hour.
A quick look around the internet told us that this was par for the course for RDR and GTA and Rockstar couldn’t/wouldn’t do anything about it.
We ended up refunding all the games through steam. Sad times.
Brandishing a firearm when not in fear for your life is illegal.
Whoah, thanks for that. I rarely use fb and while I knew that they collected and connected information anywhere they could, but I had only ever seen the main fb settings and turned those off as much as possible.
This is wild.
Which Lenovo laptop, if you don’t mind me asking? I know there are Lenovo laptops with Linux support, but I am on a Lenovo Legion Slim 5, and I have heard there are quite a few issues that would need to be sorted.
Wait wait… So his supporters are on a witch hunt for anyone who made assassination jokes… but they can sell these sneakers?
Also the fact that these exist at all is … just surreal. I don’t understand. What is this timeline?
Only because Google purposely crippled itself…
I know, just today on my lemmy home page was a w10 user who had their desktop background image changed and the stupid search bar added to their task bar again after an update. This is why I don’t allow my machine to update. It’s rediculous!
Linux will be so much better, but it will require some effort and time, and probably some help. I will have to get there, and once I do I know it will be a relief to have an OS that only does what I tell it to!
Thank you for the kind wishes stranger. I wish you health and happiness as well. I am sure you will see me again after I have made the leap, with some silly question or another. :)
I was a stay at home mom/wife at various times in my 10 year marriage. I hate the term tradwife, but I guess I fit the picture.
If I wasn’t working, the house was my job. I did all the shopping, cooking, cleaning, laundry. I made an effort to freshen up before he got home from work.
We found that when I was a housewife we actually had more time together, instead of trying to smash out laundry and un-fuck the house on weekends, it was all done, meaning we could just hang out when he was off work.
I do enjoy my work so for now I keep doing it part time, but I don’t think being in a marriage that has traditional roles is all that polarising.
