I'm not sure how common this knowledge is, but the default Lemmy web-interface sucks. There are web portals that improve it considerably. Some of them may be available direct on your instance. If not, I use https://alexandrite.app/ for my frontend.

There are others, at least one of which looks like old.reddit, but I'm not sure the address of them. I would trigger Cunningham's Law, but I don't want to add confusion.

Nobody is taking this seriously, except racists. Were I stationed at Fort Bragg, I would take pride in knowing the fort was named after someone with actual patriotism. But I'd be shamed in knowing the real reason for the name.

Oh, no reason. But I was called into my manager's office because I hadn't turned it in early. I told everyone around me that they were looking to cut employees by figuring out who could handle more jobs.

Under "Hobbies" I put "Privateering". Under "Fluent Languages" I put "None".

We had to fill out a "personal biography" at work a couple years ago. Under "Thing I'm Most Proud of" I put "Time Magazine Person of the Year, 2006".

I was going to comment this. I think there's a mode you can use that doesn't require USB debugging, it just won't mirror the screen.

nicknamed SERI for “Stop CybERgroomIng.”

Maybe we should have an AI that generates proper acronyms.

I used to think the government was hiding evidence of alien UFO encounters to prevent widespread panic. Now I think they're using general UFO encounters as a cover for weapons testing.

To be fair, in Musk's fantasy Mars is the easier planet to live on.

The vast majority of people would make as much money as they could. Quickly, the economy implodes. People soon realize they can exchange their matter replicator for eggs. A new billionaire class arises, using their millions of matter replicators to make basic necessities for the worker class. The modern assembly line is now just row upon row upon row of matter replicators. One man per warehouse, just moving from matter replicator to matter replicator.

A few smarter people used their matter replicators to make more matter replicators. Lobbyists quickly pass "safety regulations", and these "black market" replicators are outlawed. Soon local police start advertising "amnesty", where you can bring in your illegal matter replicator and exchange it, no questions asked, for a gun.

A few unlucky people used their matter replicators to make drugs. The purity of replicated drugs quickly renders these people unable to continue using their replicators. These replicators are collected by next-of-kin, stolen by the people that exchanged their own replicator for eggs, or accidentally destroyed.

But that's the most appealing part.

This is just the Republican/libertarian fantasy. So many people I worked with at the time thought we should have taken all the Iraqi oil after we invaded.

Aren't the rights in the Bill of Rights granted by God? I seem to remember hearing that a lot during discussions on the 2nd amendment. The rights are granted by God, and the Bill of rights just says the government isn't allowed to take them away. I hope you can see where I'm going with this.

Two boobs or three boobs.

It would be interesting to know who Waltz thought he was adding to the group.

The difference with the old trim is that the new one will have a better adhesive assembly and “a stud welded to the stainless panel with a nut clamping the steel panel to the vehicle structure.”

It's a good thing Elon doesn't think "exposed screw heads are cool.". This could have been fixed with a carbide drill bit and some self-tapping screws.

Sorry, none of those are true.
