Yeah, because no one reads the goddamn community rules never mind follows them, making [email protected] a free-for-all.

a rusty pineapple.

That’s a new Yogi-ism for me, a mashup of “rusty pipe” and “pineapple.”

Relatedly, that internet-famous Nazi bar story:

I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, “no. get out.” And the dude next to me says, “hey i’m not doing anything, i’m a paying customer.” and the bartender reaches under the counter for a bat or something and says, “out. now.” and the dude leaves, kind of yelling. And he was dressed in a punk uniform, I noticed.

Anyway, I asked what that was about and the bartender was like, “you didn’t see his vest but it was all nazi shit. Iron crosses and stuff. You get to recognize them.”

And i was like, ohok and he continues. "you have to nip it in the bud immediately. These guys come in and it’s always a nice, polite one. And you serve them because you don’t want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after awhile they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too. And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh shit, this is a Nazi bar now. And it’s too late because they’re entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.

And i was like, ‘oh damn.’ and he said “yeah, you have to ignore their reasonable arguments because their end goal is to be terrible, awful people.”

And then he went back to ignoring me. But I haven’t forgotten that at all.

JWZ: “I prefer to meet people where they are” says reasonable-sounding white dude holding court at a table in the back of a Nazi Bar.

It’s Bluesky. The Nazi Bar is Bluesky.

Nobody seems to recall that this community was created as an r/askreddit clone, so now it’s become a Lemmy support* / catch-all community.

In the future, please note rule #3 of the [email protected] community: “Not regarding using or support for Lemmy.”

UBI on its own is a dead end under capitalism, because companies would raise the prices of good & services to absorb it, and real estate prices & rents would similarly go up to absorb it. And you know that other social safety nets would be dismantled, on the excuse that UBI serves as their replacement. Those social services would be privatized, making the situation worse.

(not gonna tell her, is that a bad call?)

Is this some vestige of Abrahamic religious guilt? 😂

No, Ohio is appropriately rated, which is why it is no one’s vacation destination.

Big deal, they have a tower just like this in Vegas.

I don’t know where you live, but my offline world is no more or less sarcastic than online.

Is it simply the lowest form of wit

You’re trying to account for taste, but there’s no accounting for taste.

They had spyware, anyway. We don’t know that it still works.

As of March 2023, Pegasus operators were able to remotely install the spyware on iOS versions through 16.0.3 using a zero-click exploit.

The current version of iOS is 18.1.0.

It’s about as good an idea as Hindus have about beef 🤷

If any of religion has an actual good idea it’s perhaps the Jains for being vegetarian/vegan. Animal suffering aside, it’s a great idea for environmental reasons in this Anthropocene epoch.

The rise of the megacorps was in the late 19th century as imperialism, otherwise known as “monopoly capitalism” or the Highest Stage of Capitalism.

The stage we’re in now is a further advancement known as neocolonialism, which began in the mid-20th century. You might say that neoliberalism and the rise of neoclassical economic hegemony are closely related to neocolonialism.

Moralities aside, some find it liberating to stop caring what is & isn’t considered “weird.” Conformity definitely has its advantages, but at least consider the possibility that, for you, it may not be worth the costs. Take it from Al, or DEVO themselves for that matter.

As for morality, I’m not really a fan of it in its conventional senses. Philosophy prof. Hans-Georg Moeller, author of The Moral Fool: A Case for Amorality.
