I have accounts on both. Sh.itjust.works has a piracy community that .world blocks and is still federated with Hexbear for some reason. .world has old.lemmy.world if you liked the old reddit UI.

Otherwise, not that different.

I’d vote for Jake

It’s anecdotal, but I second the guy recommending in-person clubs. I was very much in the same boat this time last year. In the spring I mustered the social courage and reached out to a local LARP group.

The people I’ve met through that have been extremely welcoming and kind. I very quickly made friends and my mental health improved a lot.

None of us are going to get to vote anymore

Guys, I know we all mean well, but no amount of activism and voting is going to make a difference anymore. They will suspend the Constitution and ensure we never have elections again. The Democratic experiment is over and we can’t keep thinking that we’ll be able to vote it out.

If you want to help, try and do it tangibly. Organize underground support networks for your queer and minority friends, seek or create covert resistance orgs, and have a realistic plan for pogroms.

Maybe after 9 trillion fucking dollars they’ll realize that it’s a scam and you can’t achieve AGI let alone super intelligence by throwing infinite data at an LLM.

Just tilt the seat back a bit more?

Do whatever you want. I like setting goals for myself like building stasis chamber farms, maxing equipment, getting all the techs, building beautiful bases, collecting rare ships, etc.

A buddy of mine has a PHD in Cajun Fusion. Turns out, harnessing the power of the sun is only slightly more complex than a good gumbo. Who knew?

Late to the party but I used to work in the Auto industry.

The brands I trust in order: Toyota, Honda, Volkswagen, Mazda, Subaru.

That’s the whole list. Brands outside this list tend to produce dogshit cars, IMHO.

Brands on the list are known for being fairly reliable and easy to maintain. Buy the lowest trim options for the least amount of tech if that’s your prerogative.

I really want a set of movies or a long form TV series on the Butlerian Jihad after Dune 3.

A high velocity paycheck

I think this is more about signaling to Azerbaijan that Russia will support them military in a campaign against Armenia. Don’t get me wrong, Turkey loves denying the Armenian Genocide, but Azerbaijan and Armenia have been in hot wars as recent as last year and Azerbaijan has very close ties to Russia.

This one is definitely going right to the ideas bin. I love new and creative ways to make the party question their sanity.

I went to a Hotel Furniture liquidator for some new furniture. Saw a good looking office chair and they only wanted $20 for it.

Brought that bad boy home and only then did I find out that they had sold me a new Herman Miller Aeron for only $20. Completely insane.

I used to work in an Engineering role in the Detroit auto industry. I think this is a good thing. The big three have been stagnantly focused on building their cars to be as cheap and shitty as possible for decades. Over bloated and perpetually behind the curve.

Maybe this will light a fire under their asses and motivate them to invest in EVs properly and improve their quality.

Probably not though.

Make sure to loop a lock through the frame and both wheels. I use an ABUS frame lock on my rear wheel (never has to be removed) and a kryptonite chain lock for the front wheels and frame.

If you want to get really secure, replace fasteners with tamper resistant versions.

Nothing is ever theft proof, but there’s lots of ways to make your bike very theft resistant.

Because the people in charge of enforcing and interpreting the law are ideologically aligned with him.

Do you ever take the time to gaze across the river and feel like you’re looking at a zoo enclosure?
