    1. Fixed the title lol.
    2. Yeah that's accurate
    3. Yeah, I did. There's even my favorite Lt. commander Worf quote in there

    "We killed our gods. They're more trouble than they're worth." -Worf

    Edit: actually I had that quote in a different draft, but it still goes hard tbh

  • Americans of Lemmy, what are your thanksgiving family traditions?

  • We go to a buffet by the lake.

    Its honestly really nice not having to Cook, but it does feel quintessentially american to make someone else do it.

  • I agree with the stoicism bit and that is what I personally do other than joking about it. But I could see a use.

    I also heavily recommend making an altar! They're a really nice excuse to collect antique knick knacks and often upset door knocking Christians and landlords alike.

    Oh and all this other stuff I said. That's nice too

    There is no shitty YouTuber treatment of the octopus BTW.

  • You are the fourth Wise Man that nobody talks about. What did you attempt to bring the baby Jesus that they cut you out of all the stories?

    Kinda shocked I've never seen a "worlds richest gay man!" Headline. That feels like low hanging fru-

  • I just want busses. That tears up nothing.

    I just want bollards protecting pedestrian and bike traffic. That tears up nothing.

    I want passenger trains between cities where there's already railing. That tears up nothing.

    Is this honestly a bigger ask than a decade long rebuild of an interstate that will need another widening in 5 years after?

  • I actually said they're a net negative and I stand by that.

    Lithium mining, their fixed short life spans, and the problems of car focused cities as a whole are not addressed by going all EV. Marginally better than combustion? Sure. I'll give you that.

    But ultimately its manufacturing and the lack of repair ability make it bad over all.

  • How far back in time could you go with your skills?

  • That's true. I'm young ish and fully vaccinated so I've got a lot of years on humans from most of history.

  • Jesus would probably get on my nerves.

    He never called people by their names and gave them weird nicknames and spoke in riddles like a guy who fried his brain on weed and LSD in college during an ethics class.

  • My family name is pretty uncommon outside of mexico and when you googled my dads name the top result used to he an obituary of another man with the same name, birthday, same KIDS name, same time served in the army, and same job as a truck driver.

    Only difference is he was from southern California.

    Also turns out we were kin as my great grand father was addicted to traveling the country and making babies.

  • Gods, this is how I sell public transit to pro car people.

    I am traffic. I want to be off the road and in a bus.

    I just don't want my bus ride to be over an hour and a half long when the car ride is 10 minutes.

    I'll settle for a bike commute because that's 30 minutes but it would require riding down a major road where the only thing protecting me from a car going 60 MPH is a painted white line and trust.

  • I do think there's a debate to be had as to if were in a "better place" then if Clinton had won

    If she had won, we wouldn't be better off relative to 2015. We would have been in the same shit we were in 10 years ago with a housing crisis on the rise and COVID would have still happened and probably wouldn't have gone too radically differently.

    Wed still have increased income inequality and we saw under Biden that the main Liberal answer to climate change is Electric Cars which net doesn't help and in fact worsens our e-waste issue.

    Obviously, I don't know this is how it would have gone for sure, but the democrats really haven't given me much to believe in.

    So would we have been "better off" with a dem successor compared to the 2015 status quo? No I don't think so and I think we all knew that and it doesn't inspire people to vote or participate in elections.

    Would we have been better off to what we got? Yeah probably. But that's stuff we didn't completely know until hindsight kicked in. I think we all assumed he'd be a lame president and not a modern Commodus or Nero.

    Now, I don't subscribe to acceleration ist views, but there is that view point as well.

    Under that ideology, we are better off compared to a Clinton or Harris win because they would have subdued the flakier radical elements in society longer.

    Trump being president and his flagrant disregard for our status quo system is a massive stepping stone towards a revolution of some sort to hopefully fix the problems of our 2015 society plus the additional inflated issues by Trump.

  • I want to believe we could have a woman president so long as she ran on something other than being a wet noodle that's trying to be #relatable more than just being a good candidate.

    Or better yet, running on something more than

    "Are you really gonna let Trump win?"

  • Linus vs Linus

    Jump

  • I'm on year 5 of fully committed to Linux everything (minus work) and I still assume "oh yeah I can probably just sudo force the thing I want. Reading logs takes too long" and yeah it bites me in the ass sometimes.

    Its weird to hold Linus (Tech Tips) to such a high standard for no other reason than he makes tech YouTube videos.

    I'm a fucking sys admin and I make the same mistakes. Its human. I'm glad he's at least making Linux seem accessible while also bringing to light the realities of how different the troubleshooting strat is from Windows to Linux.
