Yes, thank you so much for your advice the other day!

And funny enough, when the vet asked me for a placeholder name for him, the first thing I thought of was "Todd". Sorry I stole your cat's name :')

No, in regards to Elon, he has always been a weirdo with women, starting with his first wife according to this essay published in 2010.

I really urge people to read it if you haven't already, there are some great tidbits in there like him saying "I'm the alpha" as they were having their first dance at their wedding (hilarious stuff).

None of the claims in the Verge article are surprising if you ever read Justine Musk's essay.

The Democrat's strategy to appeal to their base really seems to be, "Look, we're not as bad at the other guys." And they really aren't realizing that that isn't enough, because it's not just about Israel/Palestine anymore. I really don't think the people who are also repeating this party line (including the ones on Lemmy) are realizing how out of touch this sentiment is especially the younger Millennials/Gen Z.

I've seen my friends get attacked, arrested, and get criminal records from the university encampments and protests, and nothing was done to protect them. In their eyes, Trump would never protect them, but neither did Biden or any other Democrat in power. How can they be trusted to protect the people in the future? Seen from this lens, I don't think it's unreasonable to think that there might be people out there who find voting for Biden unpalatable.

Lina Khan, the current chair of the FTC, seems to have a history with anti-trust legal research and seems to actively care about pursuing anti-competitive industries.

I truly wish her all the best in this regulatory captured mess.

if I could only stop clinging to "societal interactions and infrastructure" I could have a great homestead!

This is so true, and something that really gets ignored in the discussion. I don't WANT to move to bumbfuck nowhere where I have no roots, I want to stay and give back to the community that raised and nurtured me into the person I am today. Unfortunately I (and a lot of others) have been priced out by home speculators.

How is there a loneliness epidemic in all age groups of our society, and yet no one is asking if one of the factors might be people having to move for education and then work to chase affordability, while getting pushed further and further away from their social networks?

Or it's a layoff without actually doing the layoff process because they don't want to pay severance, and it would look bad in the headlines when they just announced GTA6.

“Just run it in compatibility mode bro, it’s fine bro!!!”

My computer screen suddenly turns 640x480, flickers 5 times, then crashes because -checks notes- my graphics drivers are too new.

Yes this has actually happened to me. No I can’t remember with what game (I wanna say Deadly Premonition).

Ok seriously, who the fuck are these chucklefucks that keep getting into the news cycle??

I keep hearing about a new “right wing pundit” every week, are they being made in a factory?
