And how many alt right neo nazis have you slain in the street in your own country? I’ve a feeling I would have heard of you if you had.

Yeah, you’re right, your fantasy that you’re never going to do in real life is so much better than that other fantasy that isn’t happening.

Time travel, evidently.

Why do you use the distro you use?

People said Ubuntu is easy, but I prefer green to orange so I went with Mint.

Biscuits/cookies. If you tighten the lid it’ll be airtight and they’ll stay fresh for a lot longer.

It was a very clear, very coherent, passionate and informative explanation of why some important things are important. Thank you for taking the time to write it. Lots more people will read it than respond to it. People like you make lemmy a better place.

The IT Crowd

What’s the correct interpretation for cat in pants?

That graph should colour and sort by percentages, rather than raw figures. At the moment it’s primarily a graph of population in EV-buying countries.

Putin holds elections. He wins them by implausible margins. Trump plans to do the same.

But billionaires are so desperately unlike the office worker. You know, how if someone took your penny, you wouldn’t worry. And in fact they could take a penny from you every day for three years and now you’re down a whole ten dollars but it just simply isn’t an issue. You know that a thousand times as much as you’ve lost will be turning up in the next few months. That’s how billionaires relate to a million dollars. A million. It’ll show up for them in the next month or two. They’re not worried. Why would they worry about money? You don’t worry about pennies, they don’t worry about millions. Stop thinking that billionaires worry about money.

Now if the entire global capitalist system were to completely crumble, then that’s an issue, but that’s absolutely not what’s happening. Billionaires are almost incomprehensibly wealthy and a crash of 10% just doesn’t matter. At all. There are other countries than the USA and they’ll absolutely leave if necessary. They spend plenty of time in their overseas properties anyway for tax purposes. Borders are for ordinary people.

On trump’s new voting machines with back end processing via musk’s starlink. Like I say, he’s not going till he’s dead.

Strangely not to some people.

Does the day end in a y?

Yes. They do. And they’re right. They’ll be fine. Billionaires will be absolutely fine. The stock market crash doesn’t worry them. Not even a little bit.

They’re still incomprehensibly richer than millionaires in the same way that someone with an office job, a flat, a TV, games console and a car who goes out to eat on the regular is incomprehensibly richer than someone who lives under a piece of sheet metal next to a rubbish tip and scavenges for food.

Why do Americans still talk about the constitution like it means something or is still relevant?

Your constitution is GONE. It’s a historical artifact. It has no meaning in today’s America.

All that matters now is the whim of the emotional toddler in the White House. Get used to it. He’s not going until he’s dead.

Vast swathes of the USA is accessible by navigable river ever since the Louisiana purchase. It’s one of the three main original reasons the USA was so powerful economically before Trump.

Billionaires will be absolutely fine if they never make another penny and even if they lose 99% of their money in some stock market complete and final death. Millionaires are worried, but they aren’t the ones with the real power.

Yup. Donald Trump is a joke.
