What is the distinction between that and selling hot dogs you made yourself using store bought ingredients?
Pretending to enjoy video games is work, considering how much video games suck.
Arguing on the internet will make you miserable.
Dollar Tree has a lot of budget options in the toy section.
What if mmaaaaann? *puffs joint
Im forcing you to be a man and stop playing video games.
It really is amazing to me that lemmy suddenly has an army of anti linux shills on it. Idk what the purpose of that even is.
Adults who play solitary video games or multiplayer video games with people they dont know as anything more than a once a week thing are man babies.
Ive played games once in about the last month. I really enjoyed it.
My laptop ia mostly a writing machine. I also browse the internet and watch movies - which is a social activity with my husband.
Settings -> click scroll enable. Maybe you had some weird version or you couldnt do that before. You can now.
Youve never been poor
I could see trying to change someones mind if you knew them closely, but otherwise its a waste of time. Racism and homophobia have social value because it isolates people they dont like. That is why they are open with their racism. If you try to change their mind, then not only will they not change their mind, not only will they report you to HR for harassing them, and not only will the homophobe running HR think youre a pussy, but a conga line of ugly fucking orcs is going to want to fight you now.
Its interesting you bring up the KKK, because its exactly that sort of prejudice i bring up. If you see one person say something that shocking and nobody is shocked, then they all agree. You can either realize that YOU are the outcast removed boy, or you can quit your job. If you fight it because youre the next Martin Luther King, then youll just get a bunch of harassment before you get tired and quit.
Ive lost so mqny great jobs because i thought id be openly gay in an industrial setting. Its not worth it, and neither is saying anything when cletus and jimbob are laughing about putting all thr trans people in a lathe along with the foreman. (Imagine their fake tits exploding when they hit the ground, and their wieners getting stuck in the bar! Herrherr herr herr. )
Now i keep my mouth shut and respect the fact that rednecks are subhumans that should all just be shot when they think these things. Sin e imtoo much of a pussy to go on a killing spree, i guess i just have to sit and get fucked, like how you should.
I basically write about slavery and oppression so maybe my job gives me inspiration because it is backbreaking labor.
It really seems like a distinction without a difference since its on their site. The capital is going to be where the supporters of the old regime are. Its a biased poll designed to get a result in favor of the old government and it failed.
Sure :)
Here is an image of the poll https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/b4bd0c20-8521-465f-955e-522fd5a3abfc.png
Here is the actual article, but you’d have to pay the Economist to see the whole thing. https://www.economist.com/middle-east-and-africa/2023/08/07/after-nigers-coup-the-drums-of-war-are-growing-louder
Upon actually finding the specific poll I was talking about, it is actually that the vast majority of people in Niger feel the coup should remain in power, which is technically not the same thing as saying they wanted it to happen. However you can look around and find that support for the coup is very high. Niger’s government was not popular. Only 21% of people polled by this very hostile to the coup source wanted the old president to be restored to power.
My understanding is that the majority of the population supports the coup even when the poll is done by biased media opposed to the coup like the Economist or Forbes. If the majority of people supported overthrowing the government then it doesn’t seem like an actual democracy. At least, its not something imposed on the people against their will.
I guess its a matter of perspective where if you care about the will of the people or if you care about power being transfered via elections even if the elections aren’t for anyone who represents the people. I definatley don’t like the second option but some people do feel that way I suppose.
I make 20 an hour at a coal mine. It would be really awesome if i didnt have to be congested all the time and could still get all i need. Im not an ambitious person but i wont let my husband live in poverty. If the minimum wage went up a lot of coal miners would become fast food workers, and the coal company would raise its hiring pay to cope with that. Also, theyd start a hiring spree.
So by raising the minimum wage a lot of new desirable jobs would open up in my community and all the old workers who only did it for the money would have more freedom.
It might sound ridiculous, but A LOT of people in heavy industry dont do it for the money. They like the work. I sort of do too tbh. I woild probably quit and then come back to the mines once the next hiring wave started so i could get a quick raise.
I downvoted you, but i dont like how everyone is so mean on Lemmy now. Just a few months ago it was all smiles and conversation. Now its like reddit and everyone just want to argue. Im not arguing with you. Im adding on to what you said.
I work at a coal mine! _
I yearn for the mines. Its nice and chilly and dark. I wear all black and hate the sun. I thought it would be bad for my skin but the coal dust dries me out and killed all my acne. Now im nice and smooth, unlike my coworkers.

Did i do it right? I am trying to see if i remember Algebra.
