Oh hey, I’ve seen those guys in ZAngband.

Another option that usually works is just disabling JavaScript for that site.

Fun prank.

“How do you know they’re all booked? Maybe someone didn’t show up. Can you go check?”

Hehe, you could say that reply was done with much… celerity.

He’s holding a bean in his other hand. Presumably, he doubles as a scale.

He also flies sometimes.

It’s so super, it’s 10x normal math.

Nah, paying taxes just isn’t for me…

To be fair, it’s asking “Did Jimmy Carter die today?” not “Will Jimmy Carter have died today?”

Looks like the account posted no in the morning and he died in the evening, at least by UTC. So it’s not entirely wrong.

What do you have against sea lions? Can you name one documented case of when a sea lion ever did anything that personally affected you in a demonstratably negative way?

Well sure, but the fediverse is nowhere near that ubiquitous.

I wouldn’t attribute malice for… not using the same protocol others are? And the unnecessary work is posting on Bluesky too instead of just the fediverse?

Twitter was never part of the fediverse, so moving to Bluesky, even though it’s not on the same protocol, is still a step in the right direction. They’re not taking anything away from the fediverse… Well, they might be taking some users away because they’ve hit the critical mass of userbase to let people see what they want to see instead of the one-size-fits-all Linux Star Trek Leftism blend we’ve got over here, but people who are tired of that would be leaving Lemmy eventually anyways.

Not sure if your information is outdated or if you’re using a different definition of federate, but this blog post says they have support for a degree of federation: https://bsky.social/about/blog/02-22-2024-open-social-web

Well in that case, you can ascribe it to one side.

Just an FYI, if you ask a Republican, they will say that they’re on the side of patriotism and intelligence and that the left is superstitious and ignorant. Definitely a line between political parties, but I don’t think it’s really a gotcha to claim that “when Ulysses S Grant predicted one side being patriotic and intelligent, he was talking about our side.”

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not defending Republicans, and I’m definitely not defending Trump, so I’m going to pre-emptively request that you not tell me things like “well Trump’s a bigot and felon so anyone who votes for him is ignorant” and expect me to put up any sort of defense. All I’m saying is they see themselves as patriotic and intelligent, as any thinker who favors their country would.

What are you trying to accomplish by saying this? Do you want people to give up? Hope does not stop people from making things better. If anything, it gives you the strength to carry on. It’s not too late. Trump simply doesn’t have the backing to do anything to the Constitution if he wanted to - there’s not enough red in house or senate to propose an amendment (it takes 2/3,) and not even half of the states have a red enough legislature to ratify it unless it’s actually reasonable (it takes 3/4.) So he can do some damage, yes, but we are not at the tipping point. Democracy isn’t going anywhere.
