The urinals at my work are terrible, even though I’m 5’10". One is so low that it’s like pissing in a bucket. The other is so high it’s like pissing straight ahead.

I hear it was the South African Shitbeetle.

There’s a good YouTube video titled something like “china’s economy is 60% smaller than they state”. It’s worth watching.

Currently. I’ve got none.

It might surprise you to learn that Canada is really big, not everyone lives in cities, and some places are inaccessible by transit.

I’m not sure where else, but Canada desperately needs more cost-effective electric options.

If nothing else, Zelensky knows he has to toe the American policy line. I don’t blame him, really. It’s self-protection.

Net negative matters.

I could, for example, kill every animal in the forest then claim how good it is that the plants grew so much that year without so many things eating them. In the long run, it’s very negative however.

Same for billionaires. You could say how great it is that we have electric cars, but who gets hurt and could it have been done without harm to people or society?

Far better than the shitheads that add nothing to the world and become billionaires through financial manipulation and employee exploitation.

I spotted a Vectrex in a flea market in a small Canadian town and had no money. :(

I hate that I got rid of my tapes from the 80s.

I don’t know about paranormal, but maybe just access to the savant part of my brain. A friend was counting a ziploc full of pennies and was about 10% of the way. I blurted out a number without thinking, and I was correct in the end. Not a small number either…something like 879.

Kid wanted to be tiktok famous.

There’s always ‘self’.

I hope they eat well.

I don’t feel bad for deleting my account with 120,000+ karma.

This is the right way to solve paralysis, not Elon-killing-monkeys.

They imagine this place where only rich people live and work, but don’t think to the next step of who does the things that rich people don’t care to do…so they’ll bring in poor people and then eventually complain bitterly that they either can’t get what they want done at poverty wages, or that their local exclusive society is falling apart.

In short: there is no valid reason for the ultra-rich to exist. The rising tide doesn’t lift all boats: it sinks the boat that have been tethered to the sea floor.

I have to agree. Federation only goes a little way on the path to a proper decentralized social media system. Ideally, defederation should not be possible, and rather, community subscription should be the norm without concern over what instance it exists on.

I’m not saying it should become Usenet, but it should be more similar to Usenet than it is now.
