some_guy@lemmy.sdf.orgto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Was there ever a time where you were incredibly lucky?English222·12 hours agoBeing born a cis white male in the USA. It’s not right, but it was lucky.
I’ll come back with an answer more in line with the intent of the question if I see this again later.
Seriously, my life is (unfairly) so much easier than it could have been. That’s not lost on me. Let’s change that.
some_guy@lemmy.sdf.orgto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why do people switch from chrome to Brave browser and not to Firefox?English2·12 hours agoYou’re assuming people know things about the tech field. Very few do. I mean, those of us that do recognize the name Firefox. But someone who heard from a friend that Google went on trial for bad monopoly practices and wants to deGooglefy has no idea what’s available or what any of it means.
This is straight out of the film Naked Lunch.
some_guy@lemmy.sdf.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•Linux Reaches 5% Desktop Market Share In USAEnglish24·12 hours agoFinally, the year of Desktop Linux. Twenty years after we were promised. And it’s still a pittence, but I’ll take it.
I’m on a Mac, only use Linux for server stuff, but the more people we can get off Windows, the better. Let’s go!
some_guy@lemmy.sdf.orgto World News@lemmy.world•Priest, 83, arrested at Palestine Action rally – on day it was bannedEnglish24·13 hours agoHe added over the last 18 months, the group had been accused of committing “some really serious criminal offences”, some of which are being taken to trial.
Provide examples, coward. Oh, were you excusing genocide with empty accusations?
some_guy@lemmy.sdf.orgto World News@lemmy.ml•Donald Trump asked Volodymyr Zelenskyy if Ukraine could hit Moscow, say people briefed on callEnglish73·13 hours agoThe problem is that while Putin was servicing Donnie, he didn’t provide a courtesy reach-around. I mean, that’s just a manners issue.
some_guy@lemmy.sdf.orgto /r/50501 Mirror@50501.chat•They seem pretty upset over on r/conservativeEnglish0·13 hours agoAll politicians would include their god-emperor, so even then they have dualistic thinking. I think someone once called it doublethink, but don’t quote me on that.

Meant to reply to specific comment.

some_guy@lemmy.sdf.orgto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Humans domesticated wolves into dogs. Then domesticated wolves' food. Then trained dogs to protect that food from the wolves.English14·13 hours agoHoly crap. This is the best shower thought I’ve read. Good job! I’m gonna share this with others.
some_guy@lemmy.sdf.orgto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•At least I know what opinions are wrongEnglish7·14 hours agoBut I do! The ones that are hateful, bigoted, etc… they are wrong and I’m not going to let them influence me. So long, Mom. You voted for a fascist. We aren’t friends anymore.
some_guy@lemmy.sdf.orgto News@lemmy.world•Hungary opposition figures urge Democrats to organize against autocratic takeover by TrumpEnglish53·14 hours ago“What particularly rings out is how certain large media outlets or owners or large conglomerates try to appease Donald Trump by settling lawsuits or by firing journalists [or] editors,” he said. “It really resembles what happened in Hungary in the 2010s.”
This is why we’re fucked. Huge media corporations are selling us out rather than fight back against bullshit lawsuits from this corrupt administration. I blame you, ABC.
some_guy@lemmy.sdf.orgto News@lemmy.world•'That's a cult': Alex Jones disavows Trump after he tells fans to drop EpsteinEnglish4·14 hours agoI never thought I’d agree with this lunatic. And because he says he was never in said cult, I guess we still disagree. Whew, what a relief.
some_guy@lemmy.sdf.orgto News@lemmy.world•'That's a cult': Alex Jones disavows Trump after he tells fans to drop EpsteinEnglish26·14 hours agoI mean, can you even point to an example of flip-flopping?
I’m kidding, we all know. We are a circus.
some_guy@lemmy.sdf.orgto World News@lemmy.ml•The New York Times Finally Stops Avoiding The G-WordEnglish2·15 hours agoIsrael’s image is cracking. Let’s make it shatter. Keep talking about what they are doing to a captive population: it’s genocide.
some_guy@lemmy.sdf.orgto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's something people incorrectly assume about your line of work and/or hobby?English3·15 hours agoUsed to be that because I was an expert on Apple platforms, that must mean I can fix a Windows computer. I hadn’t the first clue where anything was. I’ve since learned, however. Because of work. Oh well.
some_guy@lemmy.sdf.orgto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's something people incorrectly assume about your line of work and/or hobby?English1·15 hours agoThis is very enlightening. Great way of framing the difference between the two.
some_guy@lemmy.sdf.orgto News@lemmy.world•New York clerk again refuses to enforce Texas judgment against doctor who provided abortion pillsEnglish6·15 hours agoHochul, responding to the latest request from Paxton’s office, claimed he was attempting to dictate “the personal decisions of women across America.”
“Our response to their baseless claim is clear: no way in hell. New York won’t be bullied,” she said in a prepared statement. “And I’ll never back down from this fight.”
Ken Paxton is a dickless moron. Tell your friends.
I point them out to my partner when we see one and we both laugh. It’s the ugliest piece of shit on the road.
Yesterday, we were returning from a road trip and saw a semi hauling three of them. It was completely full. Other semis on the trip had like eight cars. How inefficient and riduclous they looked. We laughed at that, too.
I’m so sad that the nazi asshole’s stupid truck is a failure. /s No I’m not. I love it.
