No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What can Trump get away with and what can he not? Hell one president shot an enemy to him. Can he do that?
4·9 hours agoHe got away with more murders on the American people than the 9/11 hijackers, at least 120 fold. All because he mishandled, deliberately, an active pandemic. 350,000 lives lost.
And he disregarded advice and the playbook by people like Obama but he didn’t want that because he believed that Obama was inferior to him.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are mundane actions we get to do everyday with technology that would be a superpower to people from before say.. the 1600s?
2·10 hours agoI just learned today that the concept of timezones was not invented until 1876.
That feels relatively young for something like that, I would’ve thought maybe that would’ve been a little further back.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Who are the members of your chosen families?
3·16 hours agoI have two aunts, one in the UK and the other about a state away from me. I’ve known them for about 4 years and they’ve been the best aunts I’ve come to know. I used to have a chosen mother but things with her are up in the air after coming to light some very questionable content being shared on her FB that takes jabs at transgenders.
No but there are some people who tend to act holier than thou because they have hundreds to thousands of meaningless points. I find out that they tend to be uptight assholes.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•I went to a grocery store in the morning that I normally go to at night and they had dimmed lights, soft music, as well as no sounds coming from the cash registers
21·3 days agoYou’re on the money with this one.
ADHD, Depression and Anxiety is stupid common for this very reason. People self-diagnose themselves all of the time, too afraid to go to therapists because maybe there’s a good chance that the therapist might tell them that they’re wrong and over-blowing themselves about what they think they have.
I sympathize with actual mental health sufferers, who have had their care stalled and stagnated, because a lot of these self-diagnosing types are blurring the lines.
Then when you try educating the fakers, out come the accusations that you “hate people who suffer mentally” and that “you don’t understand.”
Oh we do, we’re waiting for you to finally come around!

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•I went to a grocery store in the morning that I normally go to at night and they had dimmed lights, soft music, as well as no sounds coming from the cash registers
14·3 days agoI really wish this was the norm. I never understood why the lights have to be so damn bright, why the music has to be loud and repetitive and just general noise. I remember having gone to Wal-Mart when they once were 24/7 and going in at 2 in the morning to shop was pure damn bliss. Much better than the times I’ve gone in and people are stupid, noisy and in your way all of the time.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is a celebrated invention/discovery attributed to a single person but, had they not done it at the time, it is likely that someone else would have done it anyway not long after?
8·3 days agoDespite Chuck Berry predating them by 2 years. Elvis, Buddy Holly and several others making their crafts.
It was exactly the same case for metal music. Black Sabbath is hailed as the founders of Metal music, but there had already been seeds planted for the genre to blossom anyways before they were a thing.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is a celebrated invention/discovery attributed to a single person but, had they not done it at the time, it is likely that someone else would have done it anyway not long after?
5·3 days agoThe thing about inventions is that, a fair amount of them will have a name tied to it who you’ve never ever heard before. But you’ll most likely believe the name that is tied to it but should be more credited with refining the invention to what it would be. And one poster clearly explained that.
There will always be someone somewhere inventing something, but there’s also opportunists out there ready to pounce, take up the invention, patent it before someone else does and run away with the credit.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Parents of Lemmy, how much do you spend on Christmas presents for your kids each year?
3·3 days agoMan, look at most of these well-off parents splurging on their kids. Are you sure the economy is in the sinker? /s

politics @lemmy.world•Johnson told White House that Republicans aren't interested in extending ACA subsidies, sources say
16·3 days agoThen they’re probably not interested in, once again, not finding an ACA replacement. Heres to pissing 3 more years away kicking that can down the street again.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•WhatsApp appears to have ads now. Good thing I don't really use it anymore.
5·4 days agoWait, who owns WhatsApp again?
checks
Oh.

politics @lemmy.world•Republicans dumbfounded by Trump’s calls for harsh retribution against Democratic lawmakers
13·4 days agoThey’re dumbfounded because he’s the one doing it and not them.
Republicans have had a long history of stone-walling Democrats and outright working against them in spite. Nothing new, people.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•So now that it's that time of year again in the US, what are some tips and tricks for dealing with that one relative who goes on about the same bullshit for hours and won't shut the fuck up?
1·4 days agoI am thankful I do not have such relative.
And if I did, to the discard bin.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•PetSmart won't let you leave a review if you have adblockers on
1·4 days agoAnd that applies to generally any big company.
Like why bother asking for reviews if you’re Wal-Mart or Target when the shit is still going to somehow sell and customers aren’t usually the brightest when it comes to making purchasing decisions or evaluating what they have bought.

Technology@lemmy.world•In wake of Windows 10 retirement, over 780,000 Windows users skip Win 11 for Linux, says Zorin OS developers — distro hits unprecedented 1 million downloads in five weeks
57·4 days agoEh, that’s fine but I’m good until 2032 with my Windows 10.
Also, we aren’t for sure certain how many of those people are uniquely downloaded from Windows and specifically the purpose or reason.
Some could’ve downloaded Zorin for experimental purposes. Some could’ve downloaded it from a Windows VM. Some could’ve downloaded it from Windows when they’re in a dual-boot system.
Hate to burst that bubble, but you need to consider these things before big numbers are boasted. There’s a lot of variables involved.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you think there will be a point where the world stops letting violent aggressors get what they want or is that ingrained into society?
6·4 days agoAs long as moral constraint is prominent, there will always be an eternal struggle with peace and violence.
Someone who wants to do good, will fear of doing what’s necessary, even if it includes violence.
And authority is another constraint, we can’t just simply dispose of those who we absolutely know for certain, are irredeemable that resolves things through violence. Because justice, due process, yadda yadda
Make disposable e-mails.

politics @lemmy.world•America Is Finally Starting to See Trump for the Bullsh*t Artist He Is
201·5 days agoWell, let’s see how much America is seeing it come time in mid-terms.
What a megalomaniac.
Yeah he’s inspired by a system which country banned it and yet he still wants it?
