Recently switched to kde, and I’ve been enjoying it. The hardest part is the app names.

Political Humor@lemmy.world•Love It Or Hate It, Beats Whistling Dixie Whilst The Walls Are Tumbling DownEnglish
825·9 months agoDemocrats handed the presidency to Biden when he was the weakest candidate in the primaries. Then they spent four years quietly addressing issues while Biden aged completely out of being a viable president. He foolishly ran again, so Israel could keep blowing up kids. They then propped up a replacement candidate with no primary when they saw that he had a snowball’s chance in hell of winning. Harris was ok, but “more of the same” didn’t resonate with people and she had little charisma. Whatever Obama has, she does not.
I don’t think we are in this position because our candidates aren’t doing “Trump speak”. I think it’s because they don’t have a message that resonates with normal people.
Pete Buttigieg, love him or hate him, has a good communication style. He goes on Fox news and wins debates and hopefully pushes people towards more reasonable approaches. It’s not so much the high road, as it is having a message that makes sense.
I think the outcomes will be the same no matter how Newsom speaks until Democrats fight for the people they are supposed to represent instead of their donors. This just is the worst of both worlds.

249·9 months agoI think it would be more of a dig in he spoke like a respectable adult; to model what that looks like for Trump.
This is stupid. I don’t want prominent political figures speaking like biligirent teenagers. Can’t one of the parties act like they have their shit together, or does this all need to be an episode of Jerry Springer?
I enjoy Vegas to some extent, but it isn’t worth the cost now. I can go on an international trip or to a classier city that isn’t in an ever heating desert.
Gambling and shows are fun for a few days, but if I’m dropping thousands, I want to have real experiences, not some amusement park nonsense.

What is the use-case for fast USB transfer to/from a smart phone?
Are you using your phone as a computing platform / data transfer device? Just honestly curious why this is a showstopper for you.

23·9 months agoThe coolest thing ever was when those old receivers had a motorized volume knob that would move when you used the remote. I’m a simple man, but that always made me happy.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why people say they have a "boy cat" or a "girl cat" but when the cat grows up, they don't call is a "man cat" or "woman cat"?

The enshitification will begin soon. They have already talked about inserting ads in responses.
I fear people will grow attached to AI chats, which will emotionally manipulate them into buying stuff or supporting specific causes. The ads on a platform like this are going to make google AdWords and pay per click feel like advertising in the newspaper.

News@lemmy.world•Trump moves Obama, Bush portraits to hidden stairwell
31·10 months agoYeah… This I don’t care about. The fact he hasn’t crudely drawn devil horns and mustaches with a red sharpie on the portraits is an impressive feat of restraint for him.
Which reminds me of that time he drew a picture for Epstein’s birthday card. Remember when Trump said to his best friend, the convicted pedophile, "Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.”? I wonder what that was about?



I don’t use it to find good movies, but I will filter out bad movies with it. I only consider the value when it is low.
