Barry Goldwater, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Newt Gingerich, Mitch McConnell, and now Trump (and arguably many others along the way) have been choosing self over country and intentionally breaking safeguards for longer than most of us on Lemmy have been alive. It’s indirect violence. But it’s violence regardless. And they’ve gotten away with it so far.

Neither are my parents

Same. Also. Now I’m hungry.

We have many options for people who just want to drink a bunch of cheap beer. Bud Light, Miller Light, Coors Light, Natural Light, Milwaukee’s Best Light, the list goes on. Most agree the stuff you can buy in a 24 pack at Walmart isn’t good quality beer.

But places like Dogfish Head, Ardent, Foothills, Bell’s, Cigar City, Oskar Blues, Three Notched, Flying Dog, Elysian, Anchor, Lagunitas and many others produce some great beers.

My cousin said the exact same thing.

They don’t know shit, but they still vote with such confidence. It’s maddening.

A little bit yeah. Really just all food is a lot more expensive.

I used to not have to check my bank account. Now my savings account is slowly shrinking. And it’s almost entirely because of the cost of food.

Inflation sent me from adding to savings each month to pulling from it instead. Just hope my wife or I get a decent promotion before the savings run out I guess.

I understand this meme because of Minecraft redstone.

I’ll be in the corner picking my nose if anyone needs anything.

Every comment after the first has been a response to someone else’s comment to me. You’re saying I didn’t heed any of that comment because I … responded to other comments?

It’s behind a paywall for me. Did you read it?

I found it interesting to think about his darker side hidden in plain view all along. Didn’t seem like the sort of thing that would be offensive.

It’s clearly a bad faith statement to characterize my comment as being about “coloring books” in a thread about “systemic and repeated rape”.

Read the comments. People are upset they don’t get to like one of their favorite authors anymore. That’s what the thread is about.

You evoked rape to strengthen your argument? That’s fucking gross.

As if the comment section is some sacred place where only somber reflection can occur.

I genuinely liked the other person’s thoughtful response.

You just seem bitter.

No clue what he did (have not yet read the article). Haven’t really consumed any of his media. But I did buy a coloring book based on some TV show he did?

Anyway, I bought that book because of how fucking weird it was. I remember thinking at the time the artist behind it seemed like a pretty twisted up dude.

I’m surprised everyone else is surprised, but my perspective is fairly unique - not having experienced/enjoyed any of his art beyond some crazy coloring book without the context to understand the pictures.

Somebody get this guy 4 grains of rice so he can feed his family!

Immortal, Flight because it’s more fun than teleport, and Magic for whatever else I want.

Black bunny gang

Double time half power gang. It’s so much better. I can wait an extra 90 sec for it to be evenly heated.

I saw something like 15 or 20 years ago saying the average “adult” (not in a sexual way) show is designed for 14 year old viewers. Our media has made so much more sense to me since then.

Or having both hands for the phone, or not needing to blind yourself with a light in the middle of the night. So many reasons.

Because this is the Internet, I’ll be pedantic and say the interface where each cord plugs into the next probably adds some resistance as well.

So, 50 cords 1 ft each plugged into each other would have a higher resistance than the same wire at a single 50ft length.

I doubt it really matters in the practical terms of your answer and the question being asked though.

Many, many of us do recognize it. And I don’t even watch a lot of movies. Also not your fault if you haven’t seen it though.
