I mean he’s literally being charged with murder and the last event like this was back around 2005, but do go on about how it’s basically the same as a country where police murdering citizens and not getting charged at all is the norm.

Dude! She isn’t even dead yet!

He’s a neoliberal which is an economic stance that promotes deregulation of the markets and support of free trade along with government austerity.

Well you need to start with a bunch of billions and some billionaire friends.

Liberal in economics and Liberal in US politics mean two very distinct and different things. It’s like the way a ‘runner’ in a race is different to a ‘runner’ in a restaurant. They’re not the same things at all.

Economic liberalism means free trade and deregulation. If it makes money, it’s good. Neoliberalism is also referred to as ‘hypercapitalism’.

‘Liberal’ in US politics means ‘left of the GOP’ and is its own unique thing. It bears no relation to economic liberalism at all. The two may coincide but they’re independent of one another.

LOL. Unfortunately he isn’t Gibbs.

My choices now are

Mastodon
Lemmy

Actually edit the novel

Sweet!

I used it to overwrite everything so if they restore it they’ll have a whole lot of comments saying “So long and thanks for all the cheese.” I did it twice just in case of reversion.

I used it yesterday to overwrite everything, twice, before I deleted every comment more than a week old.

It was very freeing!

That sounds peaceful

I picked up Sun Haven. I was thinking of playing it the other day, and the steam sale reminded me it existed. (I’m having fun with it, but the play experience is somewhat janky.)

Other items on my wishlist on much bigger discounts are just sitting there because I don’t have the mental space for them.

For the chess rule, you may need an x before and a + after.

Very good luck with all of that!

We’re just along for the ride. The people profiting from this have all the money and aren’t going to change their mind because they think they can buy a solution for just themselves.

So, like the knowledge that we all die one day no matter what happens, it just has to be something you live with. Until you don’t.

The Finnish song Cha Cha Cha is awesome. It should have won Eurovision!

If you can afford it, I found that the Pimsleur technique taught me how to speak well better than anything else I tried. I’ve forgotten the Spanish I know because I didn’t keep using it, but it got me to a decent adult conversational level in about a month at half an hour a day and I was always speaking ‘adult’ sentences right from the start, both copying then making new ones.

Okay but how do I not do weird shit for three days straight?

I think over time it will be. Usenet used to hold the body of knowledge, then it was fora and then reddit.

I think from Gen X onwards it just gets more and more common.

Also, people will say “I don’t play computer/video games” and then spend hours on Candy Crush or whatever.
