I would have given Kristi Noem as an example. Fun fact: her full name is Kristi Lynn Arnold Noem

OUR KITTIES COULD BE SISTERS! :-)

He taught me nothing, but i learnt a few lessons: to stay away from alcohol, to be more empathetic and to put a dampener on the choleric traits i inherited. Also to be left wing and to avoid rash judgment - i definitely broke the cycle.

Sadly it also means living with psychological issues like recurring depression, social anxiety and a personality disorder. But all in all i’m a better human being than he ever was.

Oh mine was no hero. He was spewing hate and voting far right for decades. Was a drunkard to boot. Went out stumbling in his flat and hitting his head. No heroics here, only wasted years and a broken home.

The issue is more that they sell 500-1000W ebikes that are not specced for road usage, only for riding on private ground - and then hand them to teenagers. As so often, the parents are the issue, not the teens. As so often, everyone will pay the price for it through stricter regulation.

This is fucking barbaric.

That might be because of the current issue of users creating an account, make one post and then after a short while deleting post and account. It’s often something divisive or clickbaiting.

The discussion has been popping up in a few communities, for example here: https://lemmy.world/post/42127013

Mine would have fallen for the same shit if he had lived to see it - makes me glad i don’t have to deal with that, i’m sorry for you and your family, wish you all the best

US-Americans should be on their watch - foreign policy has the uncanny property of coming back home after a while.

Guter Tip. Ich hab ne Heizdecke und nen Fußwärmer als eine 2-Zonen-Heizungslösung

Yeah, full membership only, no freebies. Because as we saw, the freebies made them too complacent and delusional regarding what they can do on their own.

If this policy has the aim to make sure the EU has a solid industrial base, it makes no fucking sense to shoot ourselves in the leg by including the UK. If they start picking the cherries again as they did while they were an EU member, and we allow it, i’m gonna lose it because that’s a lot like giving your abusive ex the password to your email account and a spare set of keys.

Does that mean that Knights are cute twinks?

I fully agree with you, but there is the issue of robotaxis crashing 3x as often as human drivers - and thats with a human supervisor on board. So if we switched completely to AI cars with the current level of integration, thats 120000 people killed.

Agreed. Would be actually cool if the reason UBI gets realized is the need for human creativity in all their forms - if big tech would push in that direction i couldn’t even argue against it.

There is a difference between standing for your core values and defending them vs crushing civil liberties and fucking up minorities. I would be very much china-friendly if they weren’t so heavy on the censorship - both wiping out a lot of local cultures and suppressing critics, at home and especially abroad - and less biased towards the Han-Chinese population, and to be honest, I don’t think the CCP actually needs those points to keep their power., these are self-serving actions to make sure that only themselves and noone else gets a say, like another communistic party that might do things different. Those points are a no-go for me, so i cannot be pro China.

Russia is not communist, not in the slightest. It’s the embodiment of feudalistic hypercapitalism - no worker has had any power in Russia for a long time. Wars of Aggression aren’t in the interest of the populace either - and it’s not their first - especially when it involves staggering losses that are only second to WW2.

I also didn’t say anything about GETTING power. I do not like the thought of violent uprisings, but i acknowledge that it might be needed for a change like that.

It really is time for UBI - this would take financial pressure off of OSS coders (and everyone else) and ensure that there will always be new source material for the data hungry AI companies.

I’m not anti-communist. I’m anti-authoritarian.

Being a communist does not imply supporting Russia, because Russia is not communist in any way, it’s a dictatorship.

Being a communist also does not mean being pro China, because even if China implements parts of communism, communism does not imply eradicating the identity of minorities and censoring whatever the party does not like - i think communism, free speech and a multicultural society do not exclude each other.

It’s the authoritarian part LW disagrees with. I think the .world admins would have long defederated ML, but since the lemmy coders are situated on .ML, thats not such an attractive option. Desalines and Nutomic are hardcore tankies and bigots, which crush any dissenting voice on .ml. Even worse, if you want to support lemmy development, the finances of .ml and development budget are intertwined, so every donation for lemmy also supports tankies. It’s the reason i switched to piefed,

If you want examples of how those two run their digital kingdom, take a look at !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works - most posts are about .ml.

Have you seen how it looks without the casing? this thing is filled to the brim, whatever space was left has been filled with cooling, it would be complicated to place a standard d6 in there - the whole system is built around the cooling that goes through the middle. but the ram isn’t soldered and i think it’s even placed so you can upgrade it without dismantling the whole thing.
