Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Coffee people of Lemmy, what do you think about non-coffee people?
2·3 days agoBut i felt awkward when I asked the cashier for a hot choco
Maybe people think hot cocoa is a drink for kids
But now that you mention it, I have a lot of extra coffeemate that I got for my kids coffee and no way to use it - I wonder if I can use it in hot cocoa.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Besides "all of them", which movie is made immediately better if every character is conspicuously Australian?
2·3 days agoWait really. Why the efff would that be something to change? I just always thought the editor let an inconsistency through

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's an often hated movie/show/game that you experienced, that made you go "I get the hate, but I don't hate it myself"? And how much did you tolerate it?

Could have at least made one of them Master Chief for legit armor and bigger contrast
This guy in the image is almost as ridiculous as the woman: he’s highly visible and mostly protects shoulders and head.

3·3 days agoHow will we ever get to the point of treating g foreign nationals like people if we can’t even treat our own people like people? I hope she pursues this to the extent of the law

1·3 days agoI agree that justice seems out of reach: many of the perpetrators are ultra wealthy who are apparently above the law. Even if Trump were prosecuted, he likely would be able to delay it beyond his remaining life
But these villains don’t act on their own. They’re supported by legions of opportunists who believe an evil sponsor makes them above the law as well. That’s where the opportunity lies. If those minions and those enriching themselves and those offering bribes face actual justice, maybe it will have a deterrent effect next time. It’s not justice but maybe the best opportunity to restore law and prevent the next attempt at tyranny
For the wealthy sponsors, perhaps the best opportunity is prosecuting bribery. While there have always been too many loopholes for the wealthy, they really seem to be getting careless with their bribes. It’s not good business when the dictator-wannabe won’t shut up about being bribed
But in this specific case, those directly responsible for false investigation and civil rights violations should be brought to justice …. In 2.5 years, since we know presidential pardons are for sale and they have no shame in who they pardon

12·4 days agoNo, and not necessary. Democrats should pursue normal, legal justice.
Someone issued a warrant swearing there was sufficient evidence and some judge said “sounds good”. If there wasn’t, that’s a crime, that’s violating civil rights, and considering the blather from the administration, quite likely a racial hate crime.

26·4 days agoSomeone’s name is on a warrant and some judge signed off. They can be brought to justice in 2.5 years
Someone made the decision and deserves consequences

General Discussion@lemmy.world•Fuck the current administration and remember to VOTE if you're in the USA
1·4 days agoFar better. Something like 12 million people got health insurance who didn’t have it before (compared to the millions who lost health insurance now), there were standards to ensure plans actually covered common medical issues (also no longer true), and it was subsidized by income to be far more affordable than the true cost. Yes it also had clauses to better support medical providers (including rural hospitals that are now closing) while insurance remained profitable. It was far better than what we had and the hellhole we’re jumping back into.

Technology@lemmy.world•Not just AI. China is building technologies that challenge U.S. dominance: From batteries and solar panels to drones and satellites, China is building tech capabilities that extend well beyond AI.English
9·4 days agoWe tried that during the Biden administration. Investments in chips, bringing back manufacturing, working on our century of deferred infrastructure projects, beginning to invest in the future with renewable energy and starting to do something with education.
Then the pendulum swung violently the other way. We threw it all away. Then went much further back to a dark time that never existed.
One of the reasons for Chinese success is being able to stick to a plan. How can we compete if every four years a new administration takes a bulldozer to any improvements and focuses on enriching himself and his cronies?

Somehow paying for an insipid “reality” show to rehabilitate his image worked. What does that say about our fellow citizens?

YouTube needs to know we’re not ok
Same here. He may be spoiled that I have gigabit fiber, Ethernet to every room, and gigabit WiFi. Multi-gig switches are starting to be affordable and claim I should get several gig without even upgrading my existing cat5e …… soon
So far I’ve let him deal with it - he’s an adult now, technically. But it’s getting to be time to see if I can do any better












While I expect such interference in standalone films, wasn’t this the height of Harry Potter? They had a huge and dedicated fan base that would have gone to any movie in that series
