Perfect opportunity to use “10 freedom bucks” instead, guaranteeing more Trump customers because it’s not so obvious to them.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The 24-hour clock might be the only military-grade thing Americans won't buy.
81·1 day agoThat’s not an assumption lol. Literally what 810 is.
Shit to get the job done. If it didn’t work for you, it did for 9 others, so it worked and the job was done.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The 24-hour clock might be the only military-grade thing Americans won't buy.
112·2 days agoNot quite. It’s anything that meets the minimum for the military. This, for most normal items, means getting the job done and lasting long enough, with an emphasis on low cost and bulk production. The result is “military grade” usually being the absolute worst that still works.
As someone that outdoors a lot, this shit is great for many items. If I base camp, all my water containers are military, and I have 120mm ammo boxes for food and stuff because animals, water, and air can’t get in. Heavy and inconvenient as hell, but cheap af and works well—that’s military crap for you.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Kevin O’Leary accuses data centre opponents of being funded by China
211·3 days ago“Who would want us to stop building our electrical grid? Who would want to stop us from having compute capacity to develop AI? Which adversary would want that? There’s only one. It’s China.”
Nope. They’re busy getting rich from investimg in shit the world actually wants.
Anyone can build a data centre whenever they want. There’s only one threat and China is already well ahead of it; cheaper data centre options thanks to dominating the renewables market.
So go on and expand your grid, Kev. Its the big-brain move 👍

News@lemmy.world•Record number of Americans are leaving the country and renouncing their citizenship for good, report says
343·4 days agoYep. You’re fleeced until your last American breath and the IRS will freeze your passport if you dont hand over your money. It’s kidnap and ransom for not making extortion payments.
I should put some coal up there.

Technology@lemmy.world•"Unethical use of Azure" reportedly leads to firing of Microsoft Israel execs — Microsoft has been investigating potential abuse of its products in targeting PalestiniansEnglish
7·5 days agoMS has really been starting to whistle another tune lately. Post-Anthropic leak, post-econimic market backing Zionism; just to name a couple.
It’s almost like, after 18 months of relentless PR onslaught, “Oh, we should adjust our business model before it’s too late” as we sit on the precipice of “too late”.
I used a similar technique once to have ~300 people stand up and check under their seats. All it took was a bit of hype and energy and they all listened to the one person with a mic.
It was meant to be an icebreaker, but it worked so well it backfired. Everyone under 50 laughed,; everyone over 50 was looking at me like I was the reason they were dealing with credit card fraud issues.

News@lemmy.world•A U.S. citizen is suing ICE for arresting him twice. He just got arrested a third time.
227·5 days agoThe article implies his skin isn’t too dark and he is a he.
These are things a US lawyer can work with well if he can afford the upfront cost of Justice.
Edit; Yup. That’s where we at.
Hmm. I forgot US voters don’t actually have a great choice…
Hey. Voting for the least shittiest option is a start for the people, yeah? 👍 Chin up! They’ve done it a few times, they’ll do it again. Hopefully not needing a WW to piggyback on this time, despite all current attempts.
Accountability and freedom and all of that stuff that made the world envious of the idea for a good run! It’s still there and always has been!!
Remember the Constitution! (And the amendments… definitely need those…in their literal form too… Plenty that could be enacted rn)
The damage control for the next US President is not achievable in one term. The population will expect it and vote them out, but they gotta dig out of a deep hole before they can start digging out of the legacy hole.
It’s either that, or “vivat Romae” on the final day as they continue infiltrating other country’s economies at full scale.
I wish I had more. I even discussed this with my friends and we all drew to the same conclusion; we just don’t know anyone like her.
There’s a few artists like others have mentioned, but she’s very unique in her style and writing.
Honestly, you’re best of listening through her awesome discography and checking similar artists on whatever service you use online.
There’s a lot of other great Australian female-led artists/bands similar to Courtney; Tired Lion, Camp Cope, Lyla Foy, The Jezabels, Thelma Plum… But at the same time, they’re nothing at all like her, just some cross-over here and there.
Kurt Vile is definitely the closest for US. He’s also the former guitarist of War On Drugs which have an amazing sound in the first albums he played in.
When I think Europe, there’s really nothing too similar in “vibe” I have seen. Just a different post-2015 scene—which I personally loooove—but different vibe in their own cool way.
If you liked the brazen Australian accent just poetically overcoming their daft tone with strong words, I can recommend Wil Wagner - Laika, but be warned, you’ll probably tear up if you’re a dog or general animal lover. It’s like the audio version of that Futurama episode. His writing is very similar. While his band, Smith Street Band, are very rock-centric, the writing is still raw, honest, and self-reflective of oneself. I’ll post some of his stuff.

World News@lemmy.world•French woman was told by doctors hantavirus symptoms were just anxietyEnglish
28·5 days agoNo. I saw someone being inventive with a new narrative that contradicts the actual narrative. I don’t care if the social agenda is gender-based, raising classes of ethnicity, or if they just started being all pro-MAGA; the behaviour is still the same, regardless of the diversity of values in their agenda. It is intentionaly deceitful and the plague that has killed the Information Age.
So, I think it’s insane to call out my behaviour like that. Not even a male but got “triggered” by a single word reserved for males that lean extreme on a spectrum for males. Gaslight all you want, I’m simply incompatible with what your convenience wishes of me.
That said, your links are excellent. I encourage you to post them as actual posts where discussion and awareness can be spread proactively, avoiding any disservice toward such important things. Let’s keep our information clean and honest, knowing many people rely on comments over actually reading the content of posts.







It’s Tom’s Hardware. You only share Tom’s Hardware articles when you need something to support your narrative but search results yield nothing.
“No! That can’t be!.. Oh! Tom’s Hardware gets it!”
Shame. It was actually pretty good until about a decade ago
