If they also have a teaching position, they might get a tiny tiny bit from the university, but that’s it.

Granted this is a best-case scenario, but the salaries for profs at my alma-mater (a public tier 1 research university) are public and I looked one of them up once. He was getting well into six-figures for teaching classes.

To be fair, if your son cares it's only because you/society taught him to care.

DSA according to conservatives and liberals: ☝️

DSA in reality:

I've been buying a bunch of camping/backpacking gear recently, including a couple of water filters and a bunch of freeze-dried meals I found on clearance at Costco (assorted 10-pack box for $10, or $1/meal!). I tell myself it really mostly is for camping (especially since my kids are getting into cub scouting), but I'd be lying if I said the possibility of bugging out wasn't also at the back of my mind.

I also built myself a new computer recently, and went for small-form-factor instead of a normal tower case just in case I need to move on short notice/with limited ability to bring belongings. I've also been simultaneously waffling between trying to fix a bunch of stuff on my house so that it's in good saleable condition and hesitating to spend money on stuff that can't be easily moved. It's a weird feeling.

I mean, yes, but no. I hate (and I mean really, really hate) to admit it, but the success of all the right-wing propaganda as of late has made it undeniable that perception is very capable of creating reality.

My initial impression of Moonstone Island is that it's kind of like a cross between Stardew Valley and Pokemon. Does that sound about right?

And he inflicted JavaScript upon the world, completely wrecking the World Wide Web. Fucker should burn in Hell for that, let alone the other stuff!

Does Lemmy have a !rareinsults community yet?

To be fair, not considering unicode support a priority is a pretty damn English-language-centric attitude.

It is this or bloody revolution and that would lead to the US being invaded by multiple other countries and shit getting worse and worse.

No other nations are going to be invading the US, let alone multiple of them. They don't have the logistics for it.

That's the sort of stuff that should've made the city refuse to issue a certificate of occupancy. Where was the building department inspector in all this‽

You if bugs didn't exist:

(Grasses are angiosperms and rely on bugs to reproduce.)

There is no such thing. If you think Gates, Buffet, or Cuban is on your side, you've fallen for the propaganda.

Well, they sent me a letter a few years back saying the loan had been forgiven since I'd owner-occupied the home for a decade, so now the only other entity that might claim to own it is the creditor for my regular first mortgage. And the state (in the sense that my title is 'fee simple' and not 'allodial' so I'm still subject to things like taxes and eminent domain), I guess.

Yes, I also read it as the attack on Gaza being the thing described as incompatible with Jewish values. I almost downvoted the guy's comment before I realized he misread it.

The oligarchs can't win on the merits of their policies, so they desperately resort to identity politics to try to divide us.

That sounds less like clickbait and more an object lesson in the importance of copyleft to me.
