Trump is a textbook fascist.

• Populist

What more do you need?

That was hilarious. I don't usually care to watch a lot of videos online, but that was well worth it.

And holy shit, Tom Hanks playing the least racist person ever to wear a MAGA hat. Not nearly offensive enough.

From like three years ago? Why post about it now? Especially without providing additional context.

Technically two syzygies.

Last time I made it, I fried the bread in a little bacon grease.

The point is that you don't want the bread to distract you from the core ingredients. Bacon and cream cheese are magical, the way they complement each other.

None of that affects me, but if I switch, which one should I switch to?

I’m so sick of this dumb ass argument…

The server question was 100% the reason I didn't join Lemmy right away. It's not that I didn't understand what a server is. It's that the signup form was asking me to make a decision I didn't know the answer to, so I gave up.

With a little more hand holding, I'd have joined months before I actually did.

I tried to join Lemmy during the API debacle, but then it asked me to choose a server. It didn't explain what that meant or how it would affect me. I could read a long, confusing explanation of it elsewhere, but that illuminated nothing. So I gave up.

Eventually I tried again and just chose lemmy.world, since it was the largest. After that it was smooth sailing, and I like Lemmy a lot more than reddit. It turns out it didn't even really matter which server I chose. (Although now I see some comments from people saying there's something wrong with lemmy.world.)

You just need to hold the new user's hand a little. Anyone who has ever designed a UI for an office environment would know immediately that the server question is going to be an impenetrable wall for many users.

Usually when I see the same meme reposted over and over, I start to downvote. But not this one. This one always gets an upvote from me.

Pretty sure that's the emoji for "thwip".

Peanut butter and jelly, of course.

I was having lunch in the break room once, and a wise old man came in and asked me what I was eating.

"Peanut butter and jelly," I said.

"I think that's the best sandwich they ever did come up with," he replied, then walked away.

I think about that a lot.

Why would you disregard the political implications?

Bacon and cream cheese sandwich on white bread.

It's the second greatest sandwich ever.

I have looked it up. That's why I'm correcting you.

The country changed it in 1991, which is the year they got their independence.

"Ukraine" means "borderland". Adding "the" in front of it makes it descriptive: the borderland of a larger nation. Removing the "the" makes it a name, which it is, because it's its own country.

I don't correct people unless I've already looked it up. And I don't continue the conversation without looking it up again. Just say "Ukraine".

Except it's not like that. "The Ukraine" is how it was referred to when it was part of Russia. "Ukraine" is correct.

It's just "Ukraine". "The Ukraine" implies that it's a territory and not the name of an independent country.

Oh, he's just going down a rabbit hole! He's going on a cute little adventure where he does a fucking Nazi salute in front of the whole country, then proceeds to recklessly dismantle huge parts of the US government, but it's all just part of his magical little journey! Teehee!

That solves the problem this time, but it doesn't help if I'm trying to navigate somewhere new.

If it doesn't have the address for a 30-year-old house in a major metropolitan area, then I just don't think it's a viable replacement for Google Maps, unfortunately.

I'm all for swapping apps, but Organic Maps doesn't even have my home address. And I live in a major metropolitan area.

When they come up with a good replacement for plastic straws, definitely. Again, I'm not in any way trying to say plastic isn't bad for the environment.
