Cruz was such a shitshow. “I don’t have to answer because I’m not part of the state legislature”. We know exactly what that means you fucking coward. Brave Sir Rafael ran away.

Trump is a deep cover Democrat trying to force conservatives to be gay through the music of the Village People.

I have made no claims as to the goodness or badness of the situation. I’m just observing.

But no matter how many Texans show up there’s no replacement for us.

Apparently there are more Texans around than we initially thought.

@thefartographer@lemm.ee Have you checked yours? Mine is all good.

is an overly-emotional drunk whose hysterics and lack of self-control during his

You leave me out of this!

nomination hearings

Oh, carry on then. That motherfucker is giving the rest of us overly emotional drunks a bad name.

I won’t say why but I feel personally attacked by this duck. Well done!

And to Oklahoma schools.

One of mine is in a tortilla and American cheese phase. I don’t worry about it because I’ve seen kids have all kinds of food phases and as long as they’re exposed to good food they’ll get there eventually.

His brother pretty much just eats vegetables (either vegetable soup or salad), fruit, and will have a slice of pepperoni pizza once a week. That’s about it.

Nobody pays for troll posts on Lemmy. Lemmy is completely irrelevant

Absolutely. Couldn’t agree more.

and additionally the people are above average smart and critical etc. so far harder to influence.

Hahahahahahahaha. Hahahaha. Hahaha. Ha.

Defederation makes it so that figuring out which instance to sign up with in order to see your friends and local businesses (since we’re talking about vs Facebook instead of Twitter or Reddit) would be a nightmare for the average person.

I have multiple accounts on some services trying to get to everything I want to see. I mostly gave up on Pixelfed. My main Mastodon account can see people on other instances but has problems seeing their posts. And I’m absolutely not willing to troubleshoot it because between work, a social life, and other hobbies I just don’t have the time or give a shit.

I like the fediverse. I’m here. I use it. But I’m only going to use what’s convenient and I promise that I have more patience than the average non tech person who wants to sign up using a linked Gmail account and see all the things they expect to see without having to think about it.

Edit: I think my brain skipped the last two sentences in that comment. I just sat here and bitched about something that was already mentioned. I have brought nothing to this discussion and have brought shame upon my house.

I use a VPN for the same reason I use the Internet. Porn.

Drunk blue Texas!

Chrono Trigger (and Chrono Cross for that matter) is a better game for sure but I played Crystalis as a kid when it first came out so it’ll always hold a special place in my heart. Chrono Trigger came out when I was about to become a teen so I had other things on my mind at the time.

As for Baldur’s Gate…kind of? Without going too far into it, most of the D&D worlds had some sort of apocalypse in their past. Faerûn’s apocalypse was so far back that they’ve completely rebuilt, and they were already fantasy so there was no serious genre shift (it’s high fantasy) and it doesn’t fall under the Earth All Along trope. The floating city that crashed when shit went wrong was held up by magic.

Ok, I went further into that than I meant to. I’m an old nerd.

I loved Chrono Trigger! The very first example of this that I ran into as a kid was Crystalis. You are told at the beginning that it’s Earth after an end of the world event, but it’s a sword and sorcery overhead action RPG (think original Legend of Zelda with slightly more RPG, slightly more action, and slightly more varied combat) and ends with you shooting advanced technology with your magic sword.

If Hobby Lobby doesn’t want to provide insurance that provides coverage for healthcare issues then they should lobby to have health insurance nationalized so that they won’t have to provide shit. Because having healthcare tied to your job is batshit insane.

I can’t tell if you’re a true believer or a really good troll. If the first, eat a whole bag of dicks. If the second, great job. I truly believed you’re an idiot and a complete piece of shit. This is a masterpiece of satirizing cranial-rectal inversion the likes of which you rarely encounter in real life.

Do I need to roll out and perform a wellness check on you?

I think there’s a time between “This thing is possible I guess” and “you’re already fucked” that I’d like to hear about things.

And ebaum’s world. And rotten. And something awful.

I never put that together with wardriving but that’s exactly what it is. Thank you for that.

Unrelated story: ~20 years ago I was in the military and broke as hell. I went wardriving in my neighborhood looking for open wifi and found a business not too far away that had it. So I built an antenna out of a coffee can, mounted it up just outside my window, and got free wifi for months.
