Up until 10ish years ago I had at least a better than average understanding/knowledge of WWII
My ex's grandmother's family was from Hiroshima and they had family members killed in the bombing.
All that said as tragic as they were I still think those bombs were the correct military decision at that time. I would be willing to have a rational conversation about it though.
The situation in Gaza is completely different and Lindsey Graham and the rest of the GOP are fucking ghouls.
Donald Trump’s main 2024 White House campaign fundraising operation sharply increased spending at the former president’s properties in recent months, funneling money into his businesses at a time when he is facing serious legal jeopardy and desperately needs cash....
If you own a catering business and are running for congress there's nothing wrong with you hiring your own firm, AT FAIR MARKET VALUE, for an event rather than hiring a competitor.
The problem is is that Trump has broken everything, and now takes what should be reasonable rules/laws and turns them into more grift.
M49, I tend to go a bit long between haircuts which is on me, but I seem to have a really hard time explaining that I want short hair, like 20mm / 3/4"...
In what world is that a question for a reasonable person?
A media company remade and re-released a piece of media and acknowledged that there may be problematic content, but that we should consider the time the media was made.
You don't need to know what the problematic content is, just accept their statement on it.
It's a bit pedantic, but I'd call it a rougelite since it has meta-progression. Still they found a way to make a no combat rougelite city builder an amazing game!
Have you been spending hours trying to pass a level? Or maybe you are completely addicted to a newly bought game. Do you have a question about a game or would like to share something else? In the Weekly Discussion Thread, you can do it all!...
It's like an algebra equation. Genocide is on both sides of the equation, so we can cancel it out. Then we are left with Biden being a ridiculously old Boomer and Trump wanting to finish destroying our democracy.
We haven’t been able to afford or had time to go to the beach in so long. It’s nice to get away. It was 11:00 PM when I took this on my shitty phone, but it still looks good!
The United Farm Workers on Tuesday announced its endorsement of President Joe Biden for reelection, saying that the Democrat has proven throughout his life to be an “authentic champion” for workers and their families, regardless of race or national origin....
This "take" is what's wrong with American politics. If Biden can't push either of those through an opposition House that would never do anything he wants, you will actively enable the other side, who would undo all of the good done, to win?
This is completely counter productive to growing Lemmy. I absolutely despise discord. Look at the network traffic it generates and tell me wtf they are doing. They won’t tell you. Their business model will leave you completely dumbfounded as to how they exist. Everything shared on the platform is lost in a black hole...
It seems that everything turned into scams, aggressive self marketing and just click bait irrelevant content. I liked finance videos, but every creator sounds like “the world will end soon” or “my secret method to make 1 million per week day trading stocks/forex/crypto.”...
The only YouTube channel I currently wat h is Cracking the Crypic. It's 2 British guys that solve various logic puzzles; mostly sudoku and most of those are crazy variations on sudoku. Each video also has a link so you can also play the puzzle if you want to.
There is one of the presenters I much prefer to the other but the entire channel and community around them is one of the most wholesome things on the web.
Highly recommended if any of that sounds interesting to you.
"Our new government['s]...foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests upon the great truth, that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery—subordination to the superior race—is his natural and normal condition."
Alexander Stephens, Vice Preident of the Confederacy in March 1861
I see a lot of posts on fediverse trashing reddit, Twitter, spez, musk and so on, and rightfully so. But like it or not, the mass majority of users on the internet still use these sites, and some of us still want to interact with the friends and communities we are a part of on those sites. And there's nothing wrong with that...
Lemmy (shorthand for the fediverse at large) was never going to supplant reddit in the short term, but the API boondoggle helped lemmy to grow at a huge rate since mid-June.
Does anyone think Reddit is done doing dumb shit? I don't, and thr next time they do a dumb Lemmy will be much closer to a true alternative to reddit than it was a month ago.
It will probably take multiple missteps by Reddit (or one huge one), but each one will chip away and then eventually I think lemmy will be in the spot reddit was in when digg did their final dumb.
Ive been loving this game. Its a card game with lots of depth to the optimization and some RNG but its not overly punishing. If youre looking for a fun casual game try it out! Its less than $10 on sale right now.
I'm over 50 years old and have been playing video games since before the atari 2600 and Slay the Spire is in my top 5 games of all time, but honestly probably top 3.
If any of Rouge like, deck building, dungeon crawler do anything for you I highly recommend you pick it up.

Today's my birthday and the only happy birthday I got was an automated email from my work. I'll also be spending the day all by myself... Feeling so lonely rn.

There's nothing wrong with using Reddit, Twitter, and other mainstream site still while being active on fediverse.
