"Away from the hot steaming water? Oh, I’ll rebuke you in the name of Jesus." was apparently enough for a white police officer to pull out his gun and shoot an innocent black woman three times.

What the fuck?

This is legitimately worse than what happened to George Floyd. Like... I genuinely feel angry for the relatives of this poor woman after watching that bodycam footage.

A literal billionaire with a sheepish following of mainly fangirls that could easily rival Trump's supporter base.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Pete Buttigieg, Elizabeth Warren, Andrew Yang, plenty of good candidates.

Sanders would be a bad choice because he's too old and while he's certainly more compos mentis than Biden, he cannot escape that criticism. Michael Bloomberg would also be a similarly bad candidate for the same reason, plus also for running an incredibly expensive and half-assed campaign last time around.

Ladbrokes currently have Michelle Obama as the second-favourite to win the Democrat nomination. She would actually be a great choice because it means Barack gets another four to eight years in the White House, albeit as the First Man. She also seems like a very sensible candidate in her own right.

Alternatively, they could go the Reagan/Trump route and usher in a celebrity as their candidate. Someone like Oprah Winfrey, Taylor Swift, Stephen Colbert or Jimmy Fallon would be huge.

Funny the page recommends OpenOffice when the entire FOSS community has moved on to LibreOffice in a middle-finger to Oracle.

Besides, OO and LO are shit. AbiWord is where it's at.

The disaster likely happened because Crowdstrike didn't do any phased rollouts or testing, which would have picked up a glitch like these before it could brick countless millions of systems. Blaming Microsoft for what is most likely gross negligence from a major cybersecurity firm is downright disingenuous.

Also, recommending an overglorified web browser baked into an OS which can only run web and Android applications to run critical infrastructure is downright laughable, ESPECIALLY when Google are known for their downright nonexistent customer support.

People use Windows because it's the most well-known and used OS on the market, and because Microsoft is a multi-billion dollar tech giant with a dedicated customer support and tech team to fix issues posthaste.

Kamala Harris is probably the second-worst candidate behind Hillary Clinton that the Democrats could field against Trump. She's disliked, she's a hypocrite (look at her current 'stance' on legalizing marijuana compared to her previous record as a prosecutor where she ruined thousands of lives with criminal convictions for smoking wacky tobaccy), and a vote for Biden was going to be a de-facto vote for her regardless, because we know that if Biden was going to fall seriously ill or die during his second term, she'd take over the presidency.

The Democrats have many better candidates to run. I hope they don't make the mistake of backing Biden's running mate.

Sounds like Kamala Harris is gonna be the next candidate. Biden's already endorsed her and I'm sure there's some superdelegate bullshit going on that will screw other candidates.

It could be the second time the Democrats field an unpopular and disliked female candidate against Trump.

My ex wanted to get back together with me. We went for food, I insisted on splitting the bill. She blocked me afterwards.

I've seen people caught in paedophile hunter sting operations get less prison time than Just Stop Oil did.

Hinge also sucks, to the point where calling it 'the dating app designed to be deleted' is blatant false advertising.

"If you want minge, don't use Hinge" would've been a more accurate slogan.

Postponed is kinda inaccurate...

1. Kyle Gass's talent agent has cut ties with him.
2. Jack Black made a statement on Instagram to announce the tour's cancellation and that any future Tenacious D projects were on hold indefinitely, stating that he was "blindsided" by what Kyle said and that he condemend any calls for political violence.
3. Tenacious D were big promoters of Rock the Vote, a nonpartisan organisation dedicated to encouraging more young people to register and exercise their right to vote, to the point of planning a campus tour in partnership with them. Can't really appear nonpartisan if you (even jokingly) wish for a presidential nominee and former US president to be assassinated.
4. Black had a lot more to lose from this than Gass, since he's the one with an actual Hollywood film career.

I wouldn't say I switched because Lemmy isn't perfect and lacks a lot of the smaller communities that Reddit still retains, but:

1. API apocalypse. I didn't like Reddit's upper management at the best of times, but Spez showed how much of a money-grubbing snake he was.
2. Power mods. Many of them are sociopathic basement dwelling assholes who will banhammer you for breaking hidden rule #273, and then cry 'harassment' to the admins when you call them out. To be honest, the only silver lining to come out of the API purge was watching iBleeedOrange and AwkwardTheTurtle finally piss of Spez enough to get the banhammer. Fuck those guys.
3. Bots. Aside from automoderator being used to effectively censor and shadowban 'bad words' on a lot of subs, the fact that 95% of the chat requests I get are from spam accounts and e-girls mindlessly spamming their OnlyFans to every user in existence should say it all.

Metal fans are outraged.

What standards?

I've lowered mine substantially over the years and women still treat me like I'm scum of the earth, but will get with douchebags like this guy.

Any point & click adventure game, especially old Sierra series like King's Quest. They have so many bullshit mechanics designed to trip the player up and cause an immediate Game Over.

I am baffled at how bloomy rind dick cheeses like this guy can find one night stands, girlfriends and spouses, while I have struggled for years to date.

Because if you drunkenly boast to airport staff that your wife left you whilst on vacation, and you're driving 200 miles away to get another one, then you come across as one of those womanizing pieces of shit who somehow pulls when they don't deserve to. Actually no, you're worse than that, because your average douche wouldn't drink drive at 141 mph whilst taking dashboard pics on his phone for clout.

Biden: Refuses to step down after a dismal electoral debate performance that makes people think he should be in a care home and not in the White House.

Also Biden: Wrongly introduces Zelenskyy with the same name as the Jasper Carrott looking dictator who invaded his country two years ago.

I mean... aren't GNOME and KDE the two main GUI's that you use?
