  • TOYOTA: Won the War on Terror. For TERROR!

  • Look, I'm just saying, the ad campaign writes itself: "TOYOTA: Trucks so powerful the Taliban beat the USA."

  • Are you referring to some pre-capitalism economic systems?

    Yes. The person with the hammer and sickle handle, who moderates Leftypedia, thinks we should retvrn to a caste system. You nailed it. Your question is definitely in good faith.

  • Sort of correct. Red Star OS has been in wide use for nearly 20 years now, but it is definitely not FOSS like actual Linux distributions.

  • pluto

    Jump
  • False. Pluto is the greatest robot on Earth.

  • Museums Victoria acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Boon Wurrung Bunurong peoples of the eastern Kulin Nations where we work, and First Peoples across Victoria and Australia. No, we aren't giving your land back. But we did want to remind you that we stole it. You're welcome.

  • Hey, wait a sec. That's the same percentage of the entire Gazan population that are children. Israel would have to be just indiscriminately killing everybody if that were true!

  • The man, who has been identified as [full name]

    Do you mean known pedophile Timothy Alan Livingston of Fort Lauderdale, FL? The one depicted in this photo of a passport? Is that the guy we're talking about here?

    Just clarifying.

  • Yeah, that tends to happen when you get you provoke a war then get your shit stomped. All this could have been avoided if the West kept their dick out of the former Eastern Bloc over the last couple decades, but they didn't, and this is where we ended up. We fucked up their country, and they get to pay the consequences for our actions.

    The "I'm not hitting you! I'm not hitting you! Look! I'm not hitting you, nyah nyah!... mmMMMMOOOOOMMMMMMMM HE HIT ME! HE STARTED IT!" defense doesn't work if you're a fucking country.

  • Everyone's allowed a couple problematic faves. My favorite turn-brain-off movie is still Anchorman, even though they drop their first R-word about 90 seconds into the film.

  • but 90% of it is it just me pretending to work by watching YouTube videos so my screen doesn't go dark and I can make sure I'm not showing as Away in Teams.

    Get a hardware mouse jiggler! I bought one for my partner as a gag gift during the start of the Pandemic, but it's seriously improved their mental health. Taking naps, reading books, and writing all became possible with next to zero risk. Just get Teams to ping your phone when you get a new message.

  • You can tell a real programmer made this because it's unreadable.

  • Clickbait headline.

    Chemtrails aren't mentioned anywhere in the bill. They're banning solar geoengineering tests in the state. Which is at least something that some companies are studying, even though the tech doesn't exist yet.

  • Your numbers are way off. A nuclear power plant generates about a tenth of the emissions of a coal power plant over its full lifecycle. This includes things like:

    • Plant construction
    • Plant decommissioning
    • Uranium mining
    • Uranium transportation
    • Uranium enrichment
    • Fuel reprocessing
    • Uranium mine reclamation

    But none of this really matters in comparing the two. Coal power plants also need to be constructed, and have fuel transported to them! They don't just sprout out of the earth like manna from God!

    Is it better than solar, wind, or hydro? No. Those generate about 5 to 20% of the emissions as a nuclear power plant (depending on which you're talking about) when you include manufacturing and construction. Fortunately, functional governments (read: not the West) are capable of walking and chewing gum at the same time! They're doing both! Which is smart—I'd rather have a nuclear fuel storage problem in 100 years than a "whoops, humanity went extinct!" problem. We don't have a lot of time here.

  • Being defederated by lemmyworld is a badge of honor. Keep up the good work!

  • Wow, stop saying sensible things. Be less correct. Thanks!

  • Sure, we could save ourselves from extinction, but what about shareholder value?
