Honestly, the blue trim as a highlight with the brown door works pretty well in my eyes

He’s stomped on nearly every other bill of right, how long before they start hitting up the og meaning of the 3rd amendment?

but later commented that “all that transpired played a role in his condition”.[9][4][13] The ruling was criticized by some expert neurologists, who argued that stress resulting from the insurrection at the Capitol may have caused the stroke.

I see this picture going back to 2019 - i think commissioned by natgeo.

I dont think its ai slop

Just ~6 more days till the big morbid number

How does this differentiate from KiCad?

As long as they dont shove it down our throats, and then expand and expand and expand the features that are in their paid tier, and make you feel lesser for choosing their local only unpaid mode, and dont make the unpaid mode inconvenient with dark patterns.

Its happened too much, I’ve asked my friends to hop through so many different platforms over the years and decades

It always starts with something thats reasonable, and every time thus far, it expands into something I hate.

Fly by wire is not the same as IFR flight.

And being an engineer has nothing to do with being a pilot, I’m an engineer too, nobody needs your irrelevant pretentious credentials.

The orangutans better be careful or soon governments will start wanting taxes from them

As much as I agree, it was reddit going mainstream that brought all the bots and trolls and psyops and marketers and ai scrapers. Lemmy staying a low profile but active minority of social media will keep it truer and less attractive to manipulators in my opinion.

Reddit was great back when the normies were on Facebook, Facebook was great when the Normie’s were all scattered across MySpace, digg, tumbler, etc or just plainly not online yet.

Lemmy is great right now, I don’t want it to be mainstream, and when it does I’ll know to start looking elsewhere or at least to an instance that’s defederated from the mainstream network

I agree with you, words have power, but only the power we give them.

By adopting this growing strategy of using gay coded innuendo as a weapon - we are telling the maga crowd that we respect it as a weapon, we are validating that we think it has power.

What you mistake for “oh the soft weak left has a no-no list that holds us back” was us not reacting and thus not giving power to using gay innuendo as a weapon, so that lgbt peoples existence isn’t thought of as a weapon.

We were quite close too - I Haven’t heard much anti gay rhetoric used as insults by the right, no where neat as much as 10 20 30 years ago. The right had realized that that stuff had lost effectiveness and thus switched to different insults.

But here with these stupid memes and signs that I see more and more often are re-weaponizing anti-gay discourse and I hate it and it definitely will lead to a lower quality of life for lgbt people, it will definitely keep more lgbt people in the closet, and all the knock on effects of that including suicide.

Words have power, and we give them power by using them. Think about what you are giving power to.

This isn’t what 50501 should include in its movement.

In good faith, that’s how it’d work - but the system has set the bar for removal from office so high as to have never been completed - even by terrible presidents including trump.

We should change that so that citizens have a more direct way to force an election or vote of no confidence or recall or otherwise remove elected officials that have lost the backing of the people, despite still having the backing of the president’s cabinet and Congress.

As it stands there is no legitimate path for this action. Should we act illegitimately? To be determined, but we’d all have to get real comfortable that it’d be a textbook unconstitutional coup.

We dont live in a democracy we do not live in tyranny. I’d like to live in a true democracy. America is a republic, and that comes with all of its downsides and historical rationale.

But I get what you’re trying to say, the meme

I don’t think I think that way, and I have plenty of concerns with parties and establishment. I think the American constitution is fundamentally flawed, and I’ve said that both under Obama and biden as well as, of course trump.

We must acknowledge that trump is an elected president, he is not a king, and despite everything we dont like and that which makes me anxious and defensive, the system is working as designed, just no longer in good faith.

They are executive orders by the president of our republic.

Are we comfortable that our system can operate this way with bad faith actors? I know I’m not.

I think justice should catch trump and his enablers, and good faith returned to the system, and then likewise, the system updated to be more resistance and resilient against bad faith actors like trump and the maga movement.

If we just call trump king, we’ll blind ourselves to the structural problems and likely ignore them once he’s gone, leaving the door open for the next group.

Wholesome :)

I’ve thought about this to, I’m doing quite well financially, not rich, but rich enough where I could buy a humble couple acres in the countryside and do sustenance farming/gardening while following my hobbies and doing small work to sustain myself slowly rather than working my big corporate job and paying a mortgage and running the capitalist treadmill

I haven’t made the decision yet, but I’m building towards it

I have a nice, but small, garden in my backyard with a hammock, and I find myself escaping to it whenever I have a spare moment because its one of the very few places I feel calm and happy and meaningful - and eating veggies, herbs, and flowers strait from the garden, from your soil and labor, is something that truly is special and not reproducible at any store or restaurant - no matter how fancy

I think I’d rather live slowly and simply and humbly with my garden and hobbies, than how I’m living now rushed, complexly, hollowly in the city with my corporate job
