The soldiers that invaded Normandy might beg to differ from their graves in France.

Is it also ridiculous that the current overtly fascist administration would call out anti-fascism as a terrorist philosophy? 'Cos dude, it’s happening and there’s nothing ridiculous about it.

Respecting the uniform, in this case, is less about Vietnam or Korea or the Middle-east or any of the more recent wars the US enjoined in… and more about the invasion of Normandy, the battle of the Ardennes or the liberation of Auschwitz.

Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen, Dachau… Are you not seeing that ugly militant specter is goose-stepping its way back into political vogue again?

Take a breath, step back and look at the NOW.

To be honest, this has always kinda been how the conservatives in the US talk when they’re by themselves. I grew up in the 70s and heard it quite often from uptight assholes on the right.

It’s not anything new, really. It’s just that today the communications, instead of being face to face, are online and they leave records of their conversations.

Bigoted jackasses, gonna jackass.

I have a cup of coffee (milk, no sugar) two fried eggs and a piece of buttered toast.

I’d say Elon Musk. He threw how many millions at Trump’s presidential run thinking Don would return the favor once he was president…

So how’d that work out for you, Elon?

More opportunity for the left to file lawsuits and go after Trump and his billions!

All that lawyers need to realize is if they play by Roy Cohn’s own legal playbook - and viciously apply all the tactics he used… Trump will fold.

Dude’s like the schoolyard bully that would always shake down all the little kids for their milk money until that one skinny kid with the worn out sneakers that no one liked, kicked the shit out of him.

Ultimately, a coward.

This place (old.lemmy.zip) is downright chill. Then again, I just came off Reddit (after 14 years there…) and that is in full rage-bait algorithm-driven meltdown. Feels like Reddit in 2010 here. Just lovely…

Ignorance… it’s an apt word here…

Flying fish? Am in!

YOU! YOU are the one that left the frigging banana in the microwave w/o telling me?

The fucking thing rotted and became a fruit fly farm… When I went to heat my leftovers, last Friday… I released the swarm o’doom!

BASTARD! I curse theeeEeeEe for eternity!

Yup! Pull down a torrent of a current season broadcast TV show and check out how long it isn’t.

52 minutes was the length of shows in the 60s and 70’s. This is why it’s almost impossible to see uncut episodes of the original Star Trek on a cable channel, let alone a broadcast one…

It was already all but impossible to find when I cut the cord in '99.

Looking at the commercial TV cable channels - I have the first 8 seasons of The Walking Dead… they run from 43 to 51 minutes in length (though the longer ones appeared in the 8th season (?) - was that when the channels started overlaying ads during the credit rolls? I know that’s a thing.)

Well, when you get to the age where mom jeans are what you want, it’s a given that you’re also at the no fucks given age WRT fashion.

It’s as liberating as hell.

I blew past mom jeans and went straight to cargo shorts and a strap belt to hold them up (in spite of being fat, I still have no ass), flip flop sandals and leg warmers. And an oxblood woolrich winter flannel shirt.

There are many spiderbros… we are legion!

They way their faces are uncovered and the “don’t give a shit, I’m just tired…” looks on that guys face… Is that a NY cop?

I cut the cable TV cord in 1999. For whatever movies/TV we’ve wanted to watch, we’ve just gone to our public library to get DVDs and later on, streamed stuff.

uBO in all the browsers as well.

If you make a concerted effort, you can de-TV the household and it takes little time to find ways pick up on watching the things you like - w/o commercial interruption… I could not imagine watching an evening of broadcast TV.

Given that the average show is now 40 minutes long - thats an hour of commercials between the 3 primetime hours of 8 and 11 pm.

I’m not going to waste an hour every night looking at things I do not want or need in my life.

Fuck that shit.

Damn, that’s bad for the snek. Toddlers parasitize sneks when eaten… Poor snek.

OP is a snek bro…

If you interacted with a smooth green snake - aka “grass snake” - (they’re tiny) and checked out their color in the sun (it’s gorgeous) - they’d maybe be less nope ropes and more dinky slinky…

But yes, the “danger noodles” are the venemous ones…

I see you’ve dealt with comcast…

This was me with beer. Gave it up over 15 years ago, as what was making me feel shitty about it was putting out the recycling bin filled with beer bottles and cans… and realizing just how much money I was spending on something that was doing nothing good for me. Stopped drinking in 2009 and don’t miss it a bit. Saving a lot more money as well…
