TIL that saying "if you come to our country illegally, we will arrest and deport you" is propaganda.

Edit: oops, I seem to have accidentally posted a reasonable thought that goes against the circle-jerk. I'll try to be a bit less objective and a bit more filled with myopic, conformist, unquestioned rage next time I comment here.

Don't worry, I still believe that disappearing people to El Salvador is a terrible thing, and it makes me really angry, so I think I still pass the tribalist purity test.

This is an example of folk etymology. The original word was Spanish cucaracha, but English speakers couldn't make anything meaningful of that when they borrowed it into English, and so they folk etymologized it into cock "male chicken" and roach "a type of fish", that sounds similar enough to cucaracha to be reasonable.

The same thing happened to Cayo Hueso "Bone Key" as "Key West", for example.

I wasn't talking about a trade surplus - I was talking about the huge amount of extra money that we throw away every year on wasteful, nepotistic military contracts with little to no return.

The country absolutely has an enormous surplus, it's just that we waste it all on military contracts with little to no return.

Honestly, using the country's surplus to fund a sovereign wealth fund like Norway instead of throwing it into the black hole of the military industrial complex seems like it would be a pretty good idea.

Too bad they're stealing taxpayer dollars through tariffs to throw into the additional black hole of crypto market manipulation instead.

Exactly.

Nintendo is never getting another cent of my money.

Holy shit this is a quality comment

Since Mint 22 is based on Ubuntu 24.04, I'm pretty sure it only has access to KDE 5.7 in apt, not 6, so I still won't be able to use HDR.

A post completely misunderstanding Batman on Lemmy? Must be a day that ends in "y".

This feels more like "10 guy thoughts" than shower thoughts

Zero chance they don't

The first line of Beowulf starts with "Hwat!" in Old English (technically "Hwæt!"), so I finished the line.

Wē Gārdena in geārdagum, þēodcyninga þrym gefrūnon.

Same. My 6700XT is solid as a rock playing games through Proton and doing a bit of light AI work on the side.

I'm sure that's never occurred to them before, that a comment like this definitely isn't posted in every single thread they comment in, and that they're incredibly thankful for your input.

Why can't I, hold all these eggs?

The irony of calling someone else pedantic after what you've done to this thread, when op only wanted to share a video they enjoyed. smdh
