I don't know who said it first, but I heard it from a podcast episode with Matt Christman and Sean KB in an episode about fascism

Anyone have a best of (worst of Blinken) list or something? I really want to be able to read it off to libs who defend him.

The US military is definitely not the fourth Reich

Undoubtedly. Still profiling and protecting capital using force. I was only trying to add some context to the situation and point out the absurdity that these people would have a political agenda in the form of being a Russian troll or that constitutes a hate crime. These redditors need to touch grass and speak to someone offline.

Forgot about that little nugget

As someone who attends music events in New York frequently, the primary concern the security guards care about is that you're not bringing a gun into the venue. Secondary concern being hard drugs, depending on the venue and act. Msg definitely does not want drugs. Thinking that the underpaid and overworked security staff has a political agenda is absurd when they already have to deal with your bridge and tunnel antics.

As someone of a similar age and path, that should have been the takeaway. But, in my case it really took until 2016 DNC shenanigans to really cement that. It's just insanity for these people where we do the same horrendous shit and they expect a different result.

Also, something that has been mentioned on here before is reading mainstream news. Like, I consider myself pretty well informed, but I don't read the New York Times or listen to NPR. I think they don't realize the amount of propaganda that is contained within even the most neutral articles. Reactionary behavior is ingrained into the liberal, western brain.

Hopefully you can. Thinking about it now, it reminds me of one of those topics that every redditor™ who thought they were a genius talked to death 10 years ago.

Same here. Haha

Unironically Chasing Amy is one of my favorite movies. Probably one of Ben Affleck's best performances. Despite some of the dated references and views on sexuality, it is a very good portrayal of bisexuality. It has a good lesson on how to deal with relationships with partners with different sexual experiences. I think people argue that the characters are "immature" but that's precisely the point. If that sounds good to you, I'd recommend watching it.

I'm here for your Genshin posting

 

I've been pretty inactive on here for the last few months and I see that things have moved to lemmy and there's federating and defederating and the fediverse (just assumed this was a joke about fedposting) I feel dumb and I don't know what any of its means. Instances, controversies etc.

Can someone please give me a tldr or point me to a thread explaining the timeline and key information? Thank you!

 

A friend of mine works with a local hazmat team and told me another Tesla horror story. Apparently, the other day a Tesla veered off the road, hit a guard rail and caught fire. Luckily the driver was able to get out safely. However, the fire department recommended to just let the car burn because of how much water it would take for them to put it out because of the heat of the fire.

So the fire department just lets the fire burn out. Eventually it stops and they bring in a tow truck. They strap it on, and as they're loading it all 12,000 of the lithium ion battery rods spill out of the car. Now these are both hazardous waste and extremely volatile. So the hazmat team comes in and has to shovel up all 12,000 of these rods while wearing full flame proof gear in 90° F heat and put them into 55 gallon drums to get picked up as hazardous waste. All knowing that at any point, they could catch on fire.

These cars are so fucking ridiculous. Whenever I see them I stay far away on the road. Fuck Musk, electric cars are a mistake and an environmental nightmare.
