So what is the answer?

Maybe push for laws - the purchase of a plastic bottle include 25 cents surcharge on the bottle.

Then you can toss the bottle in the street, and the homeless can scavenge for bottles and make a decent wage for a day’s work - and still there’s enough left over to deal with the plastic.

When 33% of the population agree that immigrants ‘poison the blood’ - what’s your take on that?

Should we assume that some very well balanced people believe that foreigners have poisonous blood?

So all the Caucasians must leave? How dumb are you?

I’m struggling here to avoid being offensive - but really, Americans often appear to me to be averaging subhuman intelligence.

Yesterday I was reading about Latino MAGA’s who just assume Trump isn’t talking about them…

For sure, as a teenager - interest in music switched from interest in music to finding music videos that got girls in 'em'.

I talked to a guy from Springfield - and he says personally he doesn’t think it will make any difference to him whichever one gets in, because right now it’s just talk.

So his idea basically is that whoever he votes for, he’d gonna get screwed over again… this is the decline of democracy and the rise of the post-truth politicians… in many ways, watching Trump is like watching Putin’s mill putting out news - all fake and contradictory news helping to convince that all news and politicians are fake.

I’d agree with this - for Trump, it’s basically just a personality thing and his policies and what he says are less relevant (everyone knows he’s just a joker that talks crap… so you should ignore what he ACTUALLY says and trust that he will deliver… sth like that) whereas for Harris, people listen to what she doesn’t say and expect that she’s hiding the fact that she’ll install surgeries in schools to do stealthy operations so she can send Harry home as Harriette…

I do feel more optimistic that the world can be saved from more Trump - but it’s not yet guaranteed.

Is this thread intended for 1. Android/mobile users 2. iOS/mobile users 3. People with computers/mouse/keyboard or what? It seems most Lemmy threads are pretty exclusively aimed at mobile users.

On a limited connection, I’d advise not updating whilst watching a video. It’s also possible to download a video and watch it whilst updating.

Beyond that it’s not easy to answer - as I don’t use discover, but also never do updates without paying attention, so that watching a video at the same time isn’t something I’d contemplate.

Haha marketing is what it is… a joke I made up some 30 years ago was that, despite what we see on the surface - the evidence proves that women are disgusting, dirty, fat, ugly animals that need a vast array of products to be created so that they can go outside without offending everyone…

So yes, you’re right to find this ridiculous and offensive - but at the heart of it is simple greed, which is the real meaning of the American Dream.

You’re joking, right?

My computer is set to 1. Warn me at 9.25 to accept or cancel suspension at 9.30. 2. Set volume to 10% and suspend at 9.30 (just in case it gets woken up, I once woke it up at 4am and had a radio application wake up the family). 3. RTC Wake set to 5.59 4. 6.25am my wakeup music plays.

I have suspend, also hybrid - where it will suspend, and after a certain time (useful for laptops, mine’s set for 12 hours so I never hit this unless I go on holiday) it’ll hibernate.

Fundamental error - as usual with Windows news.

These ‘Start Menu Ads’ aren’t rolling out to everyone, I have zero ‘Start Menu Ads’. In fact, I have Zero Ads in my operating system.

Why must Windows news always assume that everyone runs Windows? Isn’t this the main bug with all operating systems?

Haha Pornhub - proof that most visitors use Windows, and they’re a bunch of wankers.

I was under the impression that ALL websites are basically a kind of webapp. Some (like Lazada) are what you’d call ‘Progressive Web Applications’.

I use Webapp-Manager on Linux, which will set up a shortcut to launch any website/url as a Webapp… at the time of creation, you can choose Firefox or some other browser as the backend (works well for sites that dont work in Firefox).

So for me, the BBC Radio website is a webapp, Overseerr and Sonarr are webapps too.

Yup, after seeing a University student trying to point out the Civilian toll, I remember WWII - did everyone forget Dresden?

Laws of war are designed to make it somehow more civilised - but the more we see war, the more we see that it really cannot be ‘more civilised’ and that the ‘fog of war’ is a bitch.

For sure, if someone shoots your kid, you must turn the other cheek because they’re gonna dress in civilian clothes and pretend to be innocent when you shoot back. It’s what these pricks have been doing to U.S. troops for years and it’s the reason that civilians are more at risk when fighting animals like this.

There are a couple of things here… firstly you’re thinking about him being with someone else - that’s not just a ‘breakup’, that’s worse.

Anyway, I found relaxing to be difficult so I went out and did stuff - also I just met lots of friends and tried not to be on my own. During my last breakup, I had someone to meet every day after work for a week - and that put some distance which made it easier.

They’re mostly for defence. The best way to attack snails is with an a-salt rifle.
