  • Worst part is the racist old bastard probably voted for the orange guy, too.

    Just like those who died while on a ventilator throughout 2020 in their barely open (and now probably shuttered) rural hospitals swearing every moment that the vaccine would have been worse… coughing up blood until passing out - never to wake again.


  • Classic neo-liberalism - privatize the benefits, socialize the costs.

    Corporations : “We should get to gobble all power with our projects… and you should have the personal responsibility to reduce power usage even though it would - at best - only improve things at the very edges of the margins… and then we can get away with whatever we want.”

    Just like with paper straws. You get crappy straws and they hope you feel like you’re helping the environment (even though the plastic straws account for like 0.00002% of plastic waste generated) … meanwhile 80% of the actual pollution and waste being generated by like 12 corporations gets to continue.



  • Yep, and they must be forced to change, as they will fight anything that threatens the donor class that keeps them fat and happy.

    The only way to defeat the DNC is from within… by dragging the party to where it must be… in the same way MAGA reshaped the Rs and wrest control from Bush-era neo-cons like Romney and McConnell.

    Primary the DNC’s 3rd way neoliberals at every level and chance you get (i.e. AOC, Rashida Talib, Zohran Mamdani, etc.), boost the good candidates on social media and at the same time try to teach others how to think critically so they don’t just slop up and regurgitate whatever narratives the consent-manufacturing billionaire-owned networks push out.

    1. Cook at home and eat healthy
    2. Sleep enough hours every night
    3. Cultivate and maintain healthy non-familial relationships
    4. spend meaningful amounts of quality time with family
    5. Work at a full-time job 40+ hrs a week
    6. Play video games or engage in other hobbies

    Choose 3

    You cannot effectively do the rest.


    I do 4, 5, & 6.

    I slept 3 hours last night and have an embarrassing number of Uber Eats deliveries each month… but on the bright side I count the video game time sometimes as “cultivating healthy relationships” when I can get ahold of my fellow gaming dads who don’t go to bed until after 1am… 🫩🥱

    Had all-laser LASIK done in 2007.

    Was scary, and the excimer laser sounded like a giant electrical wasp, but overall, I’ve had zero problems. Best procedure I’ve ever had done.

    My older sibling had it done back then, too. No issues. 2 other close friends did the same. Not a single issue.

    Give it a rest people.

    Go get checked to see if you’re a valid candidate, and have the procedure done by a professional ophthalmologist with an “all-laser” setup who has more than a decade or so of experience and also has the $200,000 equipment to do it right and a lifetime contract-backed guarantee, and you will be happy with the choice you made.




  • I’ve mentioned this topic in regards to animated images, but don’t see as big a reason to push for static formats due to the overall relatively limited benefits other than wider gamut and marginally smaller file size (percentage wise they are significant, but 2KB vs 200KB is paltry on even a terrible connection in the 2000s).

    What I really wish is that we could get more browsers, sites, and apps to universally support more modern formats to replace the overly bloated terribly performing and never correctly pronounced animated formats like GIF with something else like AVIF, webm, webp (this was a roughly ~60MB GIF, and becomes a 1MB WEBP with better performance), or even something like APNG…

    Besides wider gamut, and better performance, the sizes are actually significant on all but the fastest connections and save sites on both storage and bandwidth at significant scale compared to the mere KB of change that a static modern asset has.

    This WEBP is only 800KB but only shows up on some server instances since not every Lemmy host supports embedding them :
