1st, to lemmyshitpost in LGBTQIA++

The second I have to use regular expressions I'm turning straight.

1st, to politicalmemes in His newest discovery

Sleep with the queen of Spain. But yeah let's be honest, he wasn't exactly the first.

1st, to oldpeoplefacebook in I’m interested!

Is this the crusty crab?

1st, to mildlyinfuriating in Brought my Chromecast with Google TV to a Hotel, TV is framed.

Chromecast doesn't work on most hotels WiFi anyway. At least it won't work if they have a page to sign into the WiFi after connecting. Pretty much have to use a HDMI cable in most cases

I know you meant to have the word "no" in there, but I'm loving the idea a business tiger getting used to his new environment

1st, to nostupidquestions in Bike Riders of lemmy, you okay with me riding my eScooter in the bike lane?

I'll be much more irritated if you're on the sidewalk. It's more dangerous for pedestrians and for you. When you're biking you expect to have to pass people whether it's because they're a slower cyclist or using a escooter. My old apartment had an exit at a blind corner and dealing with escooter riders on the sidewalk was hellish. I would pull out slowly so that pedestrians had plenty of time to stop, but when scooters became popular I had to start creating forward at a painfully slow pace because people going bike speeds somehow thought it was okay to be on the sidewalk.

1st, to 196 in Daemonized rule

Time to remove some native apps

1st, to memes in privatization of water....

Or that they use child slave labor.*

*Note: they don't own slaves just contract work out to slave owners

1st, to memes in They never admit they were just wrong

Okay, gotchu. The things you said were true just so wild to use as an explanation for ending quarantine that I had to take a second.

1st, to ukraine in "We've used 5% of our defense budget to arm Ukraine. And with it, they've destroyed 50% of Putin's army." - Ad targeted to Republicans to support Ukraine

It's worded in such a way as to be meaningless - half of what? The original number of Russian soldiers, the original number plus Wagner and other extra troops, the current number deployed with/without mercenaries? Plus Russia's numbers don't look like US numbers, don't quite look like Ukraines numbers.

That said heres the first source I found:

Russia’s military casualties, the officials said, are approaching 300,000. The number includes as many as 120,000 deaths and 170,000 to 180,000 injured troops. The Russian numbers dwarf the Ukrainian figures, which the officials put at close to 70,000 killed and 100,000 to 120,000 wounded.

...

Russia has almost triple that number, with 1,330,000 active-duty, reserve and paramilitary troops — most of the latter from the Wagner Group.

Those numbers refer to the current number of deployed and undeployed Russian soldiers plus mercenaries, which is clearly not the numbers the ad is using.

To be clear, I fully support Ukraine and fully support the US guaranteeing missile manufacturers that we will buy new missiles even if the war ends tomorrow to incentivise greater production. I just think the ad played with the numbers until they said what we want them to say.

I legit can't tell if you're continuing the joke or being serious. It's just crazy enough that I'm certain some people believe it

1st, to ShermanPosting in Grant vs. Lee? No comparison

Did Sherman ever face Lee? I think of Lee being in Virginia and DC while I only know of Sherman in Georgia and the Carolinas. I assumed the main factor effecting the numbers is general McClellan

1st, to technology in Why do you hate Microsoft?

SCCM > MECM, Azure AD > Entra ID etc

Wait... I'm only 3 years into it. Is SCCM the direct predecessor of AAD/EID? I follow the SCCM group on Reddit because they usually have good opinions on updates, but have never understood what the fuck they actually did.

1st, to rpgmemes in Another of my older memes [OC]
