Thank Dessalines for Lemmy and Jerboa

People who name themselves after genocidal warlords can make some pretty good software

Biden wasn't pro-union, and he was unfit for office. Sounds like Conover was absolutely right

Literally the only thing I can find is an opinion piece about his electric vehicle video.

Notably, Electrek offered discount codes for Teslas around the time the article was published, giving them a massive incentive to lie about Conover's credibility

Some say the number is even less than 50%

You acknowledged the awful history, and then proceeded to ask why we shouldn't do it again.

I personally don't agree that overpopulation is a problem we need to try and solve. If overpopulation kills people, let it. We won't go extinct. It's not our place to try and solve a self-correcting problem by deciding whose human rights we should violate.

Why should a species, faced with the problem of overpopulation and gifted the power of sentience, not elevate it's best and suppresses it's worst?

For fucks sake dude, literally every time this sentiment comes up someone points it out: who decides who is the best and who is the worst? Your idea of who is worthy of reproducing and who isn't is just as subjective as any nazi's. Why should you get to decide whether I can have kids, and who would give you that authority?

Forgive me, maybe “punching up” is now a ban-worthy turn of phrase.

This isn't reddit, you can say whatever you want

Luigi did nothing wrong and neither did the guy who actually fired the gun

Science then: if you try to prove that the Earth orbits around the sun, we'll have you tortured and killed

Science now: 2x2 is not 6, but go off Terry

Canada can't exactly cut off power to Texas

BCBS reversed their decision to not cover anesthesia like a day after Thompson got deposed. It turns out direct action is actually effective

I'm not just okay with it, I endorse it as much as Brandenburg v Ohio allows me to. People should be out there bringing actual justice to legal mass murderers.

They could simply not work for a fascist. That's what I'm doing, and I'm doing fine

There's an app for that

It's not as good as a physical numpad, but it gets the job done

I think it's tremendously funny that you saw a list including Stalin, Putin, and Mao, and your only response was "I've never seen anyone defend Pol Pot.

Proves my point, there are plenty of leaders that users of this instance think were good people.

Some of them are, you just have to scroll way way way down

A lot of people think that to get to orbit, you just go up. That's partially true, but in reality you go up to get out of the atmosphere, and then go sideways really, really fast.

Imagine throwing a ball in the air. If you throw it straight up, then no matter how high you throw it, it just comes back down. Now imagine throwing it across the room. It falls in a curved arc, right? Now imagine throwing it so fast that it goes past the horizon. That curved arc is still there, and it's much longer now.

Now imagine throwing it so hard that it not only goes past the horizon, it actually never hits the earth in the first place. That's an orbit! Of course, the earth has an atmosphere, so it would slow down because of aerodynamic drag. That's why we send rockets way upward—to get out of the air.

So a satellite in orbit is literally just falling constantly, but because it's going so fast, it's always missing the earth. It's for this reason that an astronaut can't "fall off of" the space station. They're moving just as fast as the station is, and so even if they pushed themselves off of it, they would remain in orbit.

Kinda like how the only thing John Brown did wrong on May 24th, 1856 was stop at 5
