Gotta brush up on the ol’ powershell
Gotta brush up on the ol’ powershell
One day I hope to write a “go fuck yourself” email of this caliber.
I hear you, but consider it goes well beyond the sticky plant - simply possessing marijuana in many areas of the US can still get you thrown in jail. With many of those same states enforcing “mandatory terms” for drug crimes, we have thousands of people jailed for years for non-violent offenses. We have a lot of huge issues to deal with, but the “War on Drugs” from the start was a thin veil for persecuting minorities, and it’s still going.
I’m hoping for the rest of your list of requests, too, but personally I think federal weed legalization would have a wider-reaching, far more profound impact on our population than forgiving student loans.
is now suspended with pay — her salary is $232,600 a year
For her outburst she’s been rewarded with not having to work & she’s still getting a six-figure paycheck. Must be nice.
Genuinely wonder if there’s some correlation in there. It’d be fascinating if global acceptance of homosexuality would eliminate fascist tendencies. I’d watch that movie.
That sounds awesome.
It’d be cool to get enough of 'em together to start a decent Lemmy community.
Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
She’s such a badass I almost feel sorry for the cancer. “Preventative” sounds like they caught it before it spread too much; here’s hoping to a speedy recovery 🤞
I left all my friends behind!
Which other Sim games are you eyeballing? I’ve been craving a good non-EA Sims game.
lol genuinely misread you there, however if you read the rest of the comment that typo makes no difference. I’ll correct it
a lot people haven’t stored music locally for a decade or longer
Yeah, digital sales have greatly outpaced physical, but more people are discovering how little control they have over “their” music library.
The alternative to “building a library” is to stick with services that will constantly increase in price & decrease in quality. You have no control over whether your favorite band(s) are available, and no recourse if their catalog disappears for whatever reason. You will be forced to scroll through “suggested content” (ads) regardless of your subscription, and the musicians see depressingly little of the money they make for the service.
“Building a library” can be as simple as buying an album based on a song you enjoyed on the radio. There’s no “lock-in”, there’s no always-increasing monthly bill, and there’s no chance of the store saying “uh you can’t listen to that anymore”. It’s dead simple, but certainly not as flexible as streaming.
Side note - I’m absolutely the type of person who would take the time and “re-build” my library, but I acknowledge I’m in a small minority of people, there. I also love shuffling through playlists which is impossible to do with physical media. Until I find a magic answer I’m right here with the rest of you with a streaming service.
but I want music streaming
Hey, that’s fine & I get it - so much easier to shuffle a playlist than figure out which album you won’t mind hearing front-to-back again. I’m eyeballing old iPod Classics for that - I’ve seen folks mod them with sizable drives and better batteries. Dunno that I want to put in the effort, myself, but I love the idea of “upcycling” old tech.
Getting back to my original reply: my main point was you don’t need these conveniences, much less having them built into your phone. Yep, music streaming is wonderfully handy & I use it every day, but practically speaking there are other methods.
Without knowing anything about you or your habits, I’m going to offer a counterpoint -
I’d suggest you don’t need music streaming, email, or a fitness tracker built into your phone. “Back in the day” we’d have a small collection of tapes / CDs in the car for trips, most (all?) email providers offer decent web apps, and while I agree it’s useful to track steps and food intake and such - anymore I’m not sure I trust the makers of these fitness apps to not sell my health data.
Personally, I’m trying to move towards a “dumb phone”, but like you I use my phone for a lot more than just social media & I’m finding it very tough. I think a phone with just a decent web browser could do the trick.
Wait… so it’s just a hardware middle man for Do Not Disturb?
You can leave the key behind
Fun idea until I’m out and about & realize the one app I locked would be useful.
They get sore before it rains, now
“Fraud” is the correct term here.
Played a little bit of the first game and while aesthetically pleasing I couldn’t get into the actual gameplay. I’d watch the fuck out of a Hellblade show, though.
The thing is - there is no evidence of sexual misconduct. He’s been investigated by just about everyone from local cops to the FBI since the early 90s, and despite the outcry there’s never been evidence. Considering how our justice system dealt with another high-profile figure’s history of sexual abuse, I have to believe something concrete would’ve turned up by now.
Inappropriate? Absolutely. Illegal? Pedophilia? Doubtful. I mean, provided we genuinely believe in “Innocent until proven guilty” ideal…
