WalrusDragonOnABike, to linuxmemes in Well that wasn't what I expected had happened to neofetch.

Too bright too. Needs a nerf.

WalrusDragonOnABike, to reddit in Reddit if full of bots: thread reposted exactly the same, comment by comment, 10 months later

My favorite reposts were the ones that were only like 6 months later, so they’re talking about christmas or r/place as if its that time of year when its the total opposite.

WalrusDragonOnABike, to world in Farmers warn food aisles will soon be empty because of crushing conditions: 'We are not in a good position'

Marriages are partnerships. No masters, no slaves.

Isn’t trad marriage just toned down master-slave relationships?

WalrusDragonOnABike, to chapotraphouse in Biden is toast with people under 45 isn't he?

Depends how much the election fraud narrative is pushed. If Trump convinces enough supporters that voting is meaningless, then both parties would be dealing with self-inflected low turnout. Granted, if the belief that democracy is dead is a strong enough belief to suppress Trump votes enough for Biden to win, then we risk bigger problems regardless of the outcome of the vote.

WalrusDragonOnABike, to workreform in Poll: 61% of young adults confess they are not saving for retirement

Inflation is there to inflate wealth accounts, which includes the same assets as retirement accounts…

WalrusDragonOnABike, to workreform in Poll: 61% of young adults confess they are not saving for retirement

Unless you think you need $200k/year to survive or you plan to retire in like 90 years, $10million seems like a pretty high estimate. Also, how long you live shouldn’t really be relevant.

WalrusDragonOnABike, to microblogmemes in Pronouns

Honestly biggest reason I list they/them is just because I don’t think we should gender language in general. Any pronouns are fine, as long as you aren’t trying to be dehumanizing with it. I use they/them a lot when referring to other people and most people don’t care, but a few cissies thought a hissy fit over singular they.

WalrusDragonOnABike, (edited ) to microblogmemes in Pronouns

Most commonly used English pronouns are typically listed as “he/him”, “she/her”. Sometimes people add possessive forms as well ("ie “she/her/hers”. “They/them”, “she/they”, “he/they”, “they/he”, “they/she”, “he/she”, “any” are other common options. There’s not hard rules though.

WalrusDragonOnABike, to worldnews in TikTok will not be sold, Chinese parent ByteDance tells US

The US government provides weapons for the genocide.

One of the main campuses in the protests is opening a campus in Israel, which students are opposing until Israel ends genocide and apartheid.

Many of the campuses donate money to or have partnerships with candidates and organizations that are also complicit in the genocide.

Of course Israel isn’t going to stop genocide because a bunch of college students in the US don’t like it. But that doesn’t mean students have to sit idly as their tuition dollars go to fund genocide.

WalrusDragonOnABike, to asklemmy in What's the best advice you've ever received?

When I was making that kind of money, I still saved way more than 5%. Granted, after inflation, it is like $11.50 now. Still, 10% would have been pretty easy. 20% would be possible if I didn’t blow money on things like spend $3K on a bike for hobby use. Also, that’s assuming you don’t have unexpected expenses. I lived somewhere where having a car wasn’t necessary, so that made a huge different in budgeting. And when I needed surgery, I was lucky with insurance. Otherwise, that could have easily have eaten up the savings I had.

So 15% is definitely possible… with lots of luck and good circumstances.

WalrusDragonOnABike, to asklemmy in What's the best advice you've ever received?

People with money usually don’t keep it as plain money though. On average, if you just invest it in S&P500 (assuming historical returns), it’ll be worth at least 4 million after adjusting for inflation after 30 years. 3 million dollars reward for having 1 million dollars. But even if you’re like a gold-standard fanatic and just put it in gold, the same applies.

Long-term consequences can be fun if you make it so. /hj

WalrusDragonOnABike, to pcgaming in Transphobes are doxxing Stardew Valley fans after they asked the game developer for pronouns

Sounds more like a way to make almost everyone annoyed. All the text would be more awkward for every player, so people who don’t care about NB pronouns would justifiably be annoyed: it would actually be a case of identity politics making a product clearly worse (granted, it would be conservative identity politics that caused it), unlike all the times conservatives get mad because minorities exist in media sometimes. And NBs would know the dev put in more work to change all lines of text to remove all personal pronouns just to avoid adding another option for them. It would be a much more direct “fuck you” than doing nothing at all.

I wish English did not overuse pronouns (personal or otherwise) because of the ambiguity and misunderstandings caused by pronouns, but if its gonna change its going to have to start with people changing how they use the language, not some 8 year old game to try to shoehorn in.

Arguments made in bad faith (such as that made by Sawzall) deserve any ridicule. ¯*(ツ)*/¯

WalrusDragonOnABike, to memes in Aren't you?

Do you know who won '96? Maybe the edit added that though.
