I have an old stone foundation and recently discovered that, at some point, the mortar holding it all together turns to dust. I have to tear down all basement walls to expose the foundation so a guy can come in and do “repointing” (scraping away the old dusty mortar and reapplying with new mortar). FML.
That’s where I’m at. I got one for Christmas and then learned about all of the politicization after the fact. Now when I play Walkabout Mini Golf I have fun, but also hate myself for not throwing it all away.
That looks like what they used to call a “Displaced Person”.
I see a lot of the same passive/aggressive bullshit on both reddit and lemmy. I’m quite new to lemmy and have recently quit reddit. The one thing I’ve noticed so far, that is distinct on lemmy, seems to be intellectual and moral superiority. We cannot judge human behaviour when the participants hide behind a digital wall so you cannot see their face when they spew. That is not bravery, that is anger (I noticed the phrase “impotent rage” is starting to make a comeback).
Overall. I like lemmy better than reddit but am considering why I feel compelled to throw words into the digitalarium at all.
I love peoples comments though. It’s a mad, mad, mad, mad, mad, mad, mad world.
I’m still shocked at how america is being taken apart and taken down by a white supremacist south african. Maybe their power wasn’t so super after all.
The Polish president is not a little man. Elon is.
The old “fire them all and then rehire them and add them to the job creation numbers” gambit.
Some good stoic advice and then it took a dark turn.
So he’s never personally physically harmed anyone while his heroes brutally killed millions.
A rose is a rose is a rose. I get your point though. Terms must be defined specifically in order to hold academic discussions. Welfare is called socialism by some.
Socialism in america only exists for corporations. “Hey bankers! Screwed up again? Here’s more money to play with.”
I’m not joking and I am not a troll. I’m a billy goat, and I’m gruff. You shouldn’t call people names or attach attributes to them, worry about your own stance. There are lots of good citizen actions one can take but there is nothing wrong with getting angry when it is warranted. Sometimes a good “Fuck you” goes way further than cold calling organizations for donations, etc. There are enough people dong that already and we are still travelling a downward path. Maybe God will save us. Maybe the government will save us. Maybe you?
What is he supposed to do? At least he is letting the world know what he thinks. That’s something. Someone once told me that if you aren’t pissed off then you are not paying close attention. I don’t know about that. I prefer to be in good humour but sometimes I shake my head in anger and helplessness, so I can empathize.
If you’re looking for a business partner, then that would be a good site I guess.
Don’t feel sorry for that guy. He’s a hero. The only way for evil to take hold in any situation is for good men to do nothing (quote by Edmund Burke).
“My batteries keep dying for some reason, so I just buy new apple phones all the time!”
It was Hobbes who said…
“But his Lordship [tells]us that God is wholly here, and wholly there, and wholly every where; because he has no parts. I cannot comprehend nor conceive this. For methinks it implies also that the whole world is also in the whole God, and in every part of God. Nor can I find anything of this in the Scripture. If I could find it there, I could believe it; and if I could find it in the public doctrine of the Church, I could easily abstain from contradicting it.”
In northern Canada we have 63 names for “Trump”.
Why should we have ideals anymore? Wallowing in the muck is almost paradise. /s
I saw that video a while back. The guy said it would not cost over $5,000.00 in a worst case scenario but most likely a lot less. He won’t know for sure until I expose the foundation so he can make a more educated guess.
