It is. I dunno what this ice nonsense is.

edit: The actual origin of the word is referring to very large bombs in WWII, which clearly took place long after we were using blocks of ice to cool public spaces. But the modern usage in terms of movies does in fact come from the days when mega-hit movies started having lines around the block.

Yes it's fucking sad I even had to put that disclaimer in there, because it's not unthinkable anymore.

The United States is comprised of 50 states so your hyperbole is going nowhere. Israel is a separate nation no matter how close friends the pair of assholes are. You have not countered my argument.

We weren’t talking about Israel. That’s why it’s whataboutism regardless of the veracity of your claims.

You’re fine with the oppression of people that aren’t you. Ends justify the means mentality.

Yeah we do. I hope you’re right but when he owns the top court in the land none of the lower court stuff means much.

Where did I say they were THE big bad? I’m ok with hating all authoritarian regimes including the one I live under.

Why are you so big on defending their image?

Sorry to hear you are ok with the dehumanizing, ineffective, expensive system we use to incarcerate people, who not infrequently are in fact innocent people. Revenge is not rehabilitation. Torture is not ok.

All nations are terrible. All political systems are corrupt. In your lifetime that will not change. You can choose to search for happiness anyway. You are not responsible for the world’s problems. Just try not to contribute to them.

Won’t happen unless the FAA itself gets dismantled. The list of common aviation events that would lead to significant injury precludes it in any sane scenario. Clear air turbulence alone makes it untenable.

Thanks for the whataboutism. Israel can go fuck itself too, they are worse at the moment.

I don’t need everyone else to be perfect to level valid criticism.

[–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago (3 children)

I don’t know anything about that and I’m willing to accept it is true for the sake of discussion. That’s not what I found disgusting.

Yes I think complete abandonment of those two things is a fantastic description of the current USA administration. It’s not doomerism, I just read the news.

 

Even though I played for many hours after the 1.0 release last year... huh?

 

You screamed at me
  under a bright blue sky.

I looked up wishing
  you could see like I do.

Small clouds obscure
  with unsaid explanation,

All paths to us
  scattered and broken

Some tomorrow
  I will find a different sky,

Look again for you,
  and disappear in the blue.

Switched to Linux a little over a year ago and it's been great, but one thing eludes me. What's the best way to do the following when you don't use Windows or MacOS?

  1. Manage music collection - on Windows I used iTunes to sync my mp3's to the phone. Is there a linux solution?

  2. Manage SMS from desktop - I'd like to be able to read and reply to SMS messages on my iPhone from the linux PC right in front of me instead of this rinky dink iPhone soft keyboard. Is this possible?

And how the hell does anyone but a child type on an iPhone anyway, while we're at it? (rhetorical) Grrrr.

Thanks!

 

I would love to hear stories about how you came up with whatever unique name you call your SO. Nothing graphic and don’t doxx yourself, I just think some nice stories like that would be fun for everyone in these ridiculous times.

 

My cats fully agree with this assessment.

 

I don't miss those days. Restaurants were the worst. Yes, your smoke is able to go over the invisible nonexistent fucking barrier between your seats and mine.

 

A huge win for animal rights. It's not perfect, but we shouldn't let the absence of perfection get in the way of celebrating progress.

edit: Edited the title to clarify this is only for Mexico City, not all of Mexico.

 

This guy went to great lengths to acquire the thing (and the company that makes the thing) that ultimately killed him.

 

Also has croutons and baby bella mushrooms. Shredded carrots. Lots of green peppers. I like green peppers.

 

I hate that I have to ask this but the internet is awash in garbage these days and I hate sorting through it. Does anyone have a link to a good new player guide for this game? I installed it on Tumbleweed and tried it for a few minutes but had absolutely no clue what was going on. The love everyone has for this game makes me want to give a decent shot though!
