I think it’s more important than ever to learn how to fix things.

i almost killed myself when i taught myself how to change my brakes – i did a terrible job and they failed.

i agree w your sentiment 110%, but i don’t partake because i like being alive. lol

i’m wondering if nobody understood that this was a joke post – maybe i should have put in on the shitposting community.

is this quoted text?

i’m too fat and too old to be conscripted like him. lol

🔊🔊🔊 Crash Bandicoot is uncircumcised.

where does this come from? lol

i’m surprised to learn that anyone was still using tape.

WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!! you have nothing to lose but your chains!

the europeans are the only ones besides the american gov’t w the institutional weight to force the tech giants to behave and i hope they follow through this time.

Old ass pre-connected car.

this is me and i think now that i’m going to keep this thing until i die. lol

wikipedia is like google or facebook – we’re going to be stuck w it for a very long time

Have also ever noticed that they tend to get Real Mad when you ask them question because the conversation quickly switches to in group/out group dynamics and you just revealed that you’re not in whatever group they are? And they also probably have very specific definitions of words and phrases as part of their mental framework that you don’t know, so both sides completely misunderstand each other?

this hits the nail on the head – except where you say “mental framework.” for most of the global south and its periphery, that’s not a framework; it’s just reality.

the rest of the world gets a mix of western echo-chamber noise and raw government propaganda, which actually lets them build a more nuanced, tankie-adjacent understanding. western liberals – especially americans – don’t get that mix. they only get the echo chamber, with propaganda buried inside it like pills in a dog treat.

that’s why they get “Real Mad” – the smugness of that echo chamber provokes anyone who isn’t infected by it since there’s documented proof from sources as reputable as the u.s. government itself. but westerners dismiss it as tankie nonsense in the same way that maga dismisses evidence that contradicts their worldview.

jessie won’t be able to explain anything to you until you’ve done the work to purge those brainworms – and that means understanding how words like “authoritarian”, or “autocrat”, or “state-sponsored terrorism”, or even “tankie” are used to reinforce the echo chamber, not describe reality.

i used to be a liberal, so i know this won’t land right away. concrete advice: stop using echo-chamber outlets – wikipedia, fox, npr, cbc, abc, bbc, le monde, der spiegel. go to primary sources. read the epstein files. read foia releases. sit with the implications.

there’s a shortcut – listening to tankie influencers like madeline pendelton – but i also know you’ve been conditioned not to bother, but it’s here now if you should ever end up realizing how much control the epstein class has over your life and want to understand why.

and “kill-cycle” work in Israel

this is the first i’ve heard about this – can you share more about it pls?

i’m genuinely surprised this isn’t more downvoted given the nature of this community. lol

For me it felt like the words came directly out of Sam Altmans asshole where he had embedded himself firmly and deeply. It

altman gives off power bottom energy – shit is the only thing coming out of that asshole. lol

do i have a malpractice claim because no doctors have ever done this and i’m middle aged now.

i’ve gone the other way – going from debian to red hat – so i don’t blame them. lol

it was 6.5 hours back in 1994 in the american southwest.

make sense – a huge majority of lemmy seems to be running on hamster wheels of geriatric hamsters. lol

i wish that show would come back so i could get some more shoreleave. lol

it sounds like you chose to patronize places that force you to use an app – there are alternatives that don’t require apps.

they’re sometimes inconvenient AF, but convenience is literally the reason why we’re brining climate change down upon us and how the epstein class has so much control over us.
