3·7 months agoMy boiled egg slicer. It seemed really frivolous when I bought it, and I probably only use it five or six times a year at best but man if it doesn’t cut down prep time for any salad with boiled egg in it, it also works with avocados!
@httpjames Back in the day I liked to dabble in Linux, and I always liked the IT people in the larger firms I worked at so I imagine it’s understanding basics of code, and then a lot of googling for fixes to problems people have already dealt with, composting code with templates and tweaking it to work with the specifics of the job at hand and then taking credit for saving everything because people are dumb.
@TowardsTheFuture IIRC the SCOTUS struck Biden’s forgiveness down.
@tacosanonymous Moot point part deix: that motherficker and his party will run his campaign from the visitor’s wing of the county jail if they have to.
@YoBuckStopsHere There’s nothing picayune about the deep concerns reputable journalists are voicing.
That word comes in play with regard to how so many of us have just turned our eyes away from the threat Trump and his supporters pose because we have to deal with navigating daily life being entwined with these people that in the end are our closest family and friends.
Personally, I put a lot of blame for the US sitting on the fascist precipice as it is on the for-profit media that was so enamored of his f-list celebrity status that they couldn’t help themselves but divert actual political coverage in 2015 to covering this idiot.
In following the spectacle of a candidate like Trump because it gets ratings, they elevated him to legitimacy in the eyes of the public, and gave a platform to the truly evil ideas he espouses.
Sure, a lot of it is drunk Thanksgiving uncle bloviating - - but there aren’t any major “news” outlets covering uncle Bill’s every move and having panel discussions on what he has to say.
It’s all on the media for helping create then elevate this monster, and articles like this trying to exculpate them from what they’ve done are at the bottom line infuriating and insulting.
The media are absolutely incapable of taking responsibility for creating this mess.
@Chainweasel Remember the January 6 rioters that got into the Senate chamber rifling through senator’s desks? How when they came upon Ted Cruz’s desk they started reading the speech he had left there, got all riled up about it, then one of the rioters stops them and says something to the effect of “this is Ted Cruz - it’s okay. He’s with us”?
@YoBuckStopsHere I don’t know, I feel like I’ve been waiting 40 years for a new political party to be formed in the US.
It seems more like the two we have just keep morphing.
@Hazdaz I kind of feel like the GOP has imploded, though. Since Trump especially (and really I think this strain of anti-democracy conservativism dates back to the 2000 election where they saw that they could just bully their way into stealing elections), there doesn’t seem to be much of the Republican Party that preceeded him left. Now it’s all antidemocratic fascists and nutjobs. Just because they call themselves Republicans and win elections doesn’t mean their politics really has anything to do with what their party stands for on paper.
I think it’s more a case of being careful what you wish for. Yes, they imploded. Yes, they don’t really exist anymore. What has supplanted them is so much worse
@stopthatgirl7 She also ended up with slightly frizzy hair compared to her relatively straight hair.
All around messed up and creepy.
I just fell in love with West Virginia a few weeks back. So beautiful and while not a blue state, exactly, the people there were so welcoming and kind.
I’d say the best places to reside in Michigan are going to be in the lower half of the Lower Penninsula if you want a temperate climate. Doesn’t mean winter won’t fuck your shit up at least two or three times a year.
Beautiful nature spots are a day trip or long weekend away and quite lovely, though smaller in scale than the sprawling, mountainous naturescapes of California. We don’t have anything quite as epic as Big Sur, Lake Tahoe, or the Redwoods here (souece: Michigander lived 13 years in the Bay Area), but we do have some very lovely areas and they’re imo much more accessible for the average Joe. Oh yeah and when fall comes in, the color is AMAZING. It’s a rather flat state all in all, though. Most places you have to drive to see anything rolling lamdscape-wise. It makes winter with all of the leaves off of the trees rather bleak if you’re in sputhern Michigan.
But, there’s a lot of interesting lore that you don’t really get anywhere else like Great Lakes shipping/shipwrecks, bootlegging hotspots, a fucking shit-ton of musical history, tons of breweries and local agricultural festivals. If you’re willing to pick and choose your urban areas, you can definitely find those spaces that have a Californian vibe about them, but they’re not really centralized.
7·1 year agoI love how, in the end, Boimler did influence the future timeline, but he did it in a really wholesome way.
@Fuzzy_Dunlop
It’s more like if you find the Lower Decks characters in the crossover amusing, then you’d probably enjoy Lower Decks, but the episode isn’t written in a way that you have to know that show to enjoy it.
Not to be one of those people that yaps on about that aggregator site that makes money leaching off of content provided and moderated by users or anything, but this would be my first instance of hopping onto something posted to the Fediverse that was unexpected and awesome and so much fun!
I’d have dully waited until Thursday, too.
@LaLeLuLiLo Fuckin classic.
In Soviet Russia, Beast is marked by YOU.
