I sometimes wonder if we're in the wrong timeline like on that episode of NextGen where Tasha Yar was never killed, they encounter the Enterprise-C, and Guinan tells Picard "it's not supposed to be like this, there should be children on this ship," or words to that effect.

However, people probably felt that way too when JFK was shot; from where I'm standing, the real fracture in the timeline occurred on 9/11, and things have only gotten more batshit crazy and fractured as time goes by.

Putin's (very) useful idiot is now in the process of completing his work destroying the US federal government. Hope state governments can pick up the slack, because they'll have to.

EDIT: And, surprise! Red states are more dependent on federal funding than blue states are.

🙁 Crap, didn't see that part.

EDIT: Also, another thing I hate about most sites that sell ebooks is that they're rarely explicit about what their file formats are.

Hey, how did you get hold of my passphrase?! 😵

"Does your tobacco taste different lately?"

Has a certain ring to it 👍 (Should we vote on this? Can we vote on this? Probably would want to get the ok first from the Admins since it is their baby).

Snaggletooth is kind of scary-looking 😱🙀, but ok!

From Wikipedia: "It was later suggested by some that the name originated from the phrase "lemmy a quid 'til Friday" because of his alleged habit of borrowing money from people to play slot machines."

👍

🤘😎🤘

Frasier Crane, the sitcom character, is played by Kelsey Grammar who is a Trumpster.

Also

🤔 Is that official?

Though I was on a secession kick for my particular blue part of the US a while back, and as tempting as the idea remains, I'm worried that splitting up the country would probably sink the world economy. What would happen to the US Dollar, which is the world's reserve currency? How would you divide up the national debt? How would you divide up the military? etc. Fun to think about, but probably not a great idea.

Hopefully he'll end up in the same circle of hell as Kyrsten Sinema (if I remember my Dante correctly, this means that Satan himself will be nibbling on their heads for all eternity alongside Judas, Brutus, and Cassius).

Ah, well that's not so good then . . . 🙁

Not to put on the tinfoil hat or anything, but the Dems are so clueless and ineffectual that I sometimes wonder if one or more people on that list are GOP moles.

Sad, but probably true.

Unless I'm missing something, didn't Yen just praise 🍄's pick for antitrust AG? I forget her name, but her Wikipedia page didn't make her sound all that great, so I'm not sure what exactly he was praising her for. If that's all it is (and it might not be!) that hardly sounds like a betrayal.

EDIT: I was missing something! See this.

I was sad enough to know that all of your deleted everything are saved in lemmy and never truly deleted.

Another concern of mine; I was under the impression that while the posts/comments a user deletes on Lemmy are still there, or at least visible to the original author (and therefore on the server too, I guess, they'd have to be!), but not visible to other regular users, the content can be deleted by being overwritten, and that deleted posts disappear after 30 days . . . ? (very tired here, did I just contradict myself?) Anyway, that's at least the impression I got from here:

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2977

and here:

https://lemmy.ml/post/22763196

I haven't been here long enough to see if a deleted post of mine has disappeared after 30 days.

In another life I was on an instance where if I deleted something, it disappeared as it should, though I don't know if it also got deleted from their server(s) . . .

@dessalines@lemmy.ml, could you please clarify this for us?

Some apps do.

But not on the web interface, I guess, whether desktop or mobile?

What Lemmy app do you use?
