Trump has the power (shortly) to direct his anger at companies in ways that do let him have zuck by the balls.

It exists because of a lack of affordable housing. If I’m gonna have infinite wealth it won’t matter.

It was around this time that a white guy adopted the clothing of an Arab country and passed himself off as an Arab to learn more about a country (Syria, I think?). I learned about him in the intro to an episode of the Fall of Civilizations podcast. Travel was definitely different then.

I think it was ep 15, about the Nabataeans.

Edit: the Nabataeans were in modern Jordan.

My niece liked watching my dad play Diablo 2. He told her he was putting the enemies to sleep.

I say we just get everyone on hard drugs. Only kidding, don’t worry. But I’d definitely like some hard drugs for me.

Yes. I would end homelessness by building housing for everyone that wanted it. Then I would donate almost all the rest to orgs that share my values while keeping a portion large enough to do whatever I want until I die and fuck off into obscurity. I would not buy media companies and try to get lots of attention.

I don’t understand people who need to constantly accumulate more. Once I can live comfortably doing whatever I want until death, that’s enough. Put the rest towards making the world a better place.

You clearly took some time with this. Hat tip.

Not me, but my mother sent her dna to 23andMe. I was not happy to hear that.

55 days, 34 mins

Edit: my Mac mini (the torrent client) is 199 days.

I’d forgot about that. Ha.

You’re posting that proposal on social media. I think most social media is terrible as well. What if it wasn’t?

I am not really tech savvy

I think you’ll find that a lot of things you think aren’t for you because of that phrase are more accessible than you realize. Look at you go!

David Cross wrote an open letter to Larry at the height of his career. It’s too long for Lemmy to paste it in, but here’s a link to it.

Thanks for making an effort to support your fellow Lemmings.

Mullvad is supposed to be a safe and secure VPN.

I love how they jam words together to make new words. As I understand it, German is easier to learn because the bigger words are made of smaller words glued together instead of creating new words with no clues. I got this from a book on the history of the English language, which I will again promote because it was so fun to read:

Highly Irregular: Why Tough, Through, and Dough Don’t Rhyme and Other Oddities of the English Language

My left nostril bleeds pretty much every time that I blow full-blast. I have to be gentle to avoid it.

I know there’s Fastmail, but I don’t know if they have privacy on the level of Proton. I just know that one of the hosts on a tech podcast that I listen to moved there from Google and was impressed at how smooth the process was.

No. Let it die. Let it become an obvious negative, like 4chan.

From alcohol but with medication to reduce withdrawal symptoms. Three times.

From soda. I drank a ton of water.

From cigarettes after I’d worked my way down from a pack a day to three per day. I’d gone back up to four and then five and stopped completely before it got back on top of me. Starting again (after seven years) was the worst decision of my life. I moved to vaping six years ago.
