I guess this is that sign for me to talk to someone who would know if something happened to me and get it officially confirmed. I’ve been going over and over whether I should, but this solidifies it.

I mean, underfunding our own governmental space program might also be a contributing factor. 🤷

Elon Musk poses a clear and present danger to American national security. The sooner the US government revokes his security clearance, terminates its contracts with him and the entities he controls, and builds its own alternatives to Starlink and SpaceX, the safer America will be. (emphasis mine$

The government not doing that in the first place lead to SpaceX having the monopoly, so I think that is part of the problem.

I hope you can avoid it because it’s shit. 🙃

Sounds a bit like the US when you describe it that way…

I loved my DS Lite. It was so smooth and compact and could play GBA games. I also still play my 3ds.

If he doesn’t win in November, he’ll probably arrange that himself.

One extra vote per child!

I mean, most of them want a strong man dictator type anyway!

Me too.

I believe .ml was the first lemmy instance - the one made by the developers.

Wrong. They federated with them then had a big discussion on if they should defederate (you can probably still find it in meta). It’s why I left - I prefer to make my own defederation decisions (and I like Hexbear, and Piracy too).

“People who are barely surviving have extremely limited freedom,” he writes.

"All their time and energy go into earning enough money to pay for groceries, shelter, and transportation to jobs … a good society would do something about the deprivations, or reductions in freedom, for people with low incomes.

More like to protect them all those angry Austrian Swifties who got their concert canceled.

Add onto this that he is using lotteries to get people to buy his chocolate (even though its consistently rated as not as good as others) and he is lying about the healthiness of said chocolate.

From the link:

And despite what you may have heard, pusillanimous does not serve as the basis for pussyfoot, pussycat, or a certain related vulgarism.

Right to work means they can’t be required to join a union. They / you are thinking of “at will employment”. You may get this confused because some states pass them together.

Could it be our weakness to act that is encouraging more genocides?

Rip to the doge who made shibe an internet sensation!

Your comment is confusing me.

While I agree that Ticketmaster is a fucked up monopoly,

Implies that what you’re going to say next is something that either excuses them or is worse than them, but you go on to say:

the only one fucked were those buying tickets.

Which, imo, is true but does not follow the logic of the “while” statement.

Then you go on to say:

Taylor will easily survive another day; those that sold their pancreases for a seat…not so much

Which makes me think you are blaming Taylor Swift for Ticketmaster’s prices, or at least saying that she is complacent in some way. But the point is the prices were set by Ticketmaster, and padded with exorbitant fees that Taylor had no control over.
