That’s funny. I’m watching it for the first time in a long while right now. I wanted to watch Less Than Zero but I can’t find it anywhere.

Gammonsayswhat?

It’s not hard at all. But due to the fact that stealing other people’s words and aggressively mispronouncing them seems to be the official British pastime, I don’t give a fuck how you pronounce it. I’ll pronounce it how it’s spelled, or any other way I damn well please.

There are more of us than there are of you. It’s our language now, you’re an anachronism.

A “yes” vote means no slavery. See my comment in reply to lanik2000.

I think you’re misunderstanding them.

A “yes” vote means no slavery. This was a prop to make forced prison labor illegal. Our voter guides contain arguments for and against propositions and rebuttals to those arguments, usually. No group even bothered to make an argument against the prop or a rebuttal to the argument for. They’re also saying, in general not just this prop, if no one can even be bothered to make an argument for one side, they’ll probably go with the only side that did make one. In this case that would be no slavery.

This was weird. There are always arguments both ways unless it’s just some editorial change to some law that for whatever reason has to go before the voters. This was totally non-controversial, or at least it seemed that way. I don’t understand how it didn’t pass.

I’ve already heard “it was the war and Holocaust that were bad, not necessarily the fascism.”

Keep fighting the good fight against the unnecessary \s. I appreciate you.

I’ve heard a lot of that, I’ve also heard that pollsters have overcorrected because of those misses and are now overstating Trump’s numbers.

I have no idea which is right. And I wouldn’t know where to start. How do you separate reasoned analysis from people saying smart sounding things with lots of numbers because they’re either scared what they’re proposing is true, or because they hope it is?

I remember my parents civilly disagreeing about H.W. vs. Dukakis, and later H.W. vs. Clinton. There was never a problem there, just a civil discussion and a difference of opinion. But if either of them was a MAGAt, I think they would be spending their last decade or two apart, and they’d be better off that way too. Shit has been on a while different level the last 10 years, at least.

This would make a good “What if?” for XKCD. In a frictionless vacuum with two spheres the mass of the earth and a bowling ball how far away do they need to start before the force acting on the earth sized mass contributes 1 Planck length to their closure before they come together? And the same question for a sphere with the mass of a feather.

You have an old favorite team-up of Germany and Japan?

Yeah, I’m probably being too optimistic.

That might be their outlook on “local” pollution for a while, but you don’t think going from 20 years left to centuries to live might affect their opinions on global climate change?

To me it looks like the green from the iris bleeding in due to low resolution, not yellow.

Might be the only way to get them to give a shit about the environment.

Do I want to know what a virgin boy egg is?

I wonder how much more it would cost to just donate or throw away your printer every time it runs out of ink and buy a new one. Printers are sold at a major loss to lock you into their ink. It might be worth the expense to know your costing these pricks money.

Talking to other people is part of what I mean by seeking things out. If you do all you can to avoid ads, along with the 99% that are useless you also block the 1% that you might actually find useful.

For example; I recently heard about this show from a friend that is right up my alley. When I looked up a trailer it’s the kind of thing that seeing a commercial once would have caught my eye and ensured I watch it. She was surprised I hadn’t heard of it because it’s on a network with a few shows she knows I like and they’ve been pimping it pretty hard for a while. Because I block the bullshit I either have to hope cool stuff comes up in conversation or seek out new stuff elsewhere.

Where on lemmy did I suggest that?
