Just play on an emulator. Save states anywhere you want.

Those things are mundane in that context.

Case in point, if you spent time with people who live in Sub-Saharan Africa and have elephants raid their crops, lions kill their kids, or hippos and crocs make every waterway dangerous, all those stuffed animals and children's books about the zoo that Western children have are full of genuine monsters. Real life, dangerous killers. And your baby from Iowa says "bi-bo-bopimous" and it's cute? Hippos murder people daily.

Also, you forget that plenty of people also genuinely believe in and practice magic, give things to house elves and fae, banish spirits, and take potions. That context doesn't make stories any more or less valid. Stories make stories valid. And any context or setting removed from your own, is exotic to you.

All that Freedom in Texas, huh? Now show ID to check your facebook, grandma.

Isn't there a King of the Hill episode that is literally about both of these things?

[–] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Sure, man. Sounds good to me!

Y'all, this is a direct response to all the boycotts this last year over that one country's participation. Between UK and French affinity, Canada will easily replace the viewership of a good chunk of Iceland, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Slovenia. Probably not Spain included, as that probably also drags in a small but significant number of Latin American viewership and votes.

"But we got all dem Gravy Seals! Ain't they good for somtin'?"

Yes, and you give yourself da Beetus buying soda with the food stamps paid for by New Yorkers.

The sad part is how hard the South committed to losing. Not lost take the L and walk it off. Generational losing. Epic, century-long losing every single fucking day of every life of every redneck, cracker-ass dipshit. Systematic losing, so deeply ingrained that even when they get ahead a little bit, one fucking Yankee asswipe cons half of them out of their every last dime. And they're glad to give it up.

Roman empire levels of tragic, really.

Hey now, Chuck Schumer probably has a very strongly worded letter just in the chamber, ready to rip.

You know, the human body is amazing. Given the right conditions, one of us thinks 25°C is hot, and the other, cold. 20°C at the beach? That's a jacket, jeans, and flannel shirt for me.

Sorry about your sunburn. That's never fun, regardless of temp.

A sign? You expect them to read?

 

Hi all,

I want to spin up a small home server. Nothing crazy, maybe 4 or 8GB ram at most. 1 Docker instance running a few privacy frontends (Invidious, Redlib, Xcancel, SearxNG, etc.) and split tunneling VPN connections for each one.

Obviously, a Raspberry Pi 4 or higher is the internet's favorite choice, but I don't need wireless connectivity, I just need a single HDMI and 2 USB ports to get everything set up, one ethernet port, and a dream in my heart.

Has anyone use alternatives like Le Potato or Orange Pi? I'm curious what their community support is like, and if there's a FOSS-friendly standard.

Thanks!

Finally at peace.

 

1950's advertising is hilarious to me

I don't mean gross stuff like SomethingAweful.

I'm talking someone's fever dream neocities page that details how to make a UFO engine using element 115.

A blog that is wild conspiracy stuff that has aged like fine wine.

Or some serial forum post that makes no sense but seems too complex to be performative.

17776 is a good example, if you're not familiar.

 

Hi everyone - posting here mostly interested in connecting with fellow esoteric-friendly lemmy users.

I've done blind-to-target remote viewing, but a problem with that is that you can't just pick your targets. I've tried map dowsing and did....meh. I haven't used tarot in a while, but thinking about letting a deck come back into my life if it happens to happen. I'm out of practice and coming back to it.

Curious what others around here are favor or have had work well for them.

 

Pundits love to say they see Trump's pattern, but they also love to talk about their areas of expertise.

Remember that trade war with China? That help we were going to give to protesters in Iran? Champaign tariffs? Billions in investments from the Saudis and Qatar?

Trump's pattern is that when he fucks up and affects the money, that issue is no longer in play. That's why the TACO term came from Wall Street. They see the pattern as well because it's their daily life. He did the same thing in the first term.

Trump's pattern on anything that sticks around for more than 14 days:

  • Float the balloon to get your meager base on your side and ramped up. See if meme traction materializes. Three stupid memes to share from some groyper? Nod from Peter Thiel? Now you're hooked.

  • Move the Overton Window so far that slight capitulation might get you something.

  • Throw everyone else's resources at the problem to exhaust opposition. Make everyone else waste time and money just to stand in your way. The costs are theirs alone.

  • Lose and say you won. Explain the win as something just around the corner, long term, etc.

Greenland as a topic is 100% dead. It ran the course and he lost badly. The EU told him "maybe we'll get you a puppy next year for your birthday, OK Donnie?"

Oh....hey, how are those troop movements near Iran going?

 

I put down a few bucks on the horses on the first Saturday in May, but it seems like online sports betting is just specifically designed to screw people out of all their money as fast as possible.

I guess....change my mind? Or don't.

Edit: I wasn't asking anyone to convince me to gamble, I was curious who the hell actually throws money in a black hole and wanted to hear their perspective. Thanks for the downvotes.

 

No AI used. I have 5 fingers on each hand! There are 27...wait, no, 5.... wait... no, 4 lights! No, that's not it. Oh, no , it's 3 Rs in strawberry. That's it.
