The closest store to me is 5 miles away. And even then, it’s a gas station, not a full-on store.

Europe is a far more dense place than America. Public transit makes sense there. The EU has an average density of 112 people per square km compared to 36 in the USA.
I’d love for alcohol to be scheduled too. Make 'em all Schedule V. I’m tired of seeing “First DUI” cases get slaps on the wrist and a driving course.
It is disappointing that Biden only requested changing the schedule rather than descheduling it all together. Not ideal, but a hell of a lot better than now.
Which is actually the reasonable thing to do here. Marijuana is not something that doesn’t have brain-altering side effects. It has pretty clear effects which could impair driving, etc - It doesn’t need to be descheduled completely; that would be asinine.
Maybe don’t narrate videos when you have a heavy lithp.
It allows programmers to be paid to work full time instead of just for free in their spare time.
I can never stop looking at that goiter.
That way, if the VPN goes down, your torrent client isn’t just downloading stuff nakedly.
You always just bind the torrent client to the VPN adapter so this doesn’t happen. Most modern clients have this (qBittorrent certainly does)
Lemmy - “But muh palestine!”
How anyone took my reply to mean anything different than this is fucking wild on Lemmy. You seem to have understood, but holy crap. Look at how many people thought I was being disparaging…
Lawyers are NOTORIOUS for using wording to flip the meanings of things, and with the supreme court packed the way it is, this could easily be flipped on its head to discriminate against people.
change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity through counseling.
I mean, has anyone ever thought that this could also be used in the reverse way?
I know everyone is like “yaaaay they’re doing something good!” - but every time I see this, I think to myself that someone – somewhere – is going to sue a doctor or therapist over allowing some kid to transition. Because technically, hormones are a ‘therapy’, to help ‘convert’ someone to the other gender.
The MOST anti-immigrant fucking people I know, are immigrants from India…
It’s so WILD to see the cognitive dissonance they display.
There’s kind of a bell curve of users where their needs are so simple that Linux use is great for them. They’ll never do anything more complex than visit a webpage in Firefox, and that’s great.
Then as your needs get more and more complex, Linux isn’t quite a good fit – You’ll want to use a specific printer, or a specific software (looking at you solidworks!), or you’ll have some sort of organization that requires you use MS Office, etc. – There are ways around all of that stuff, but if you’re not already on the train, it can get frustrating.
Up until your needs get even more complex, where Linux starts becoming the best choice again - You want a tiling window manager, and ipv6 with firewall and ZFS on the network etc.
It’s the middle bell curve where your new user is already kind-of a power user, but not quite a technical-user yet that gets people.
I mean, it was less than 20 years ago that this used to happen to me, but it was usually a matter of going to archlinux.org, and usually right on the front page, they’d have a “You need to run this command to fix it”.
They even have one for July 1st right on the home page. So it absolutely does happen from time to time.
The, going from place to place and jumping in a portal bit. The platformer nature of a lot of the levels they’ve showed.
Good point. I usually look at this from the lens of “holy fucking shit nobody will shut up about him and I’m seriously overloaded” – This, I think might be better framing :D
Who cares? They’re dead. And we’re using the people that we were fighting for as an agent of genocide against Palestinians. Nothing is sacred.
Don’t mistake this as an argument for Trump in some way. In my opinion he should be strung up, but I don’t respect the rich using the masses as cannon-fodder either.
When I die, I won’t have any thoughts on the matter either way. I bet you the dead in those pictures don’t either. This is the result of unabashed “patriotic” brainwashing that people have been steeped in since forever.
It’s not a complaint, honestly. :)
Thankfully an actual grocery store is not too much further, but no - it would be nearly impossible to purchase enough food for a house of 5 on a bicycle. Having a car is a necessity.
The closest grocery store is, unfortunately both the most convenient, and the most expensive. If I were to travel 20-25 minutes by car, I could get to a cheaper grocery store. And I’m not in a particularly ‘rural’ area - there are places much worse than this. I even have symmetrical gigabit fiber, but barely a store nearby (unless you count a bar).
If I got any closer to the city, I wouldn’t have been able to afford a house.
Unfortunately it seems I’m somewhat of an enigma. I’m fairly left leaning, but live in the middle of people who are hard-right. I tend to have experiences which reflect rural life, and end up arguing with people who have never left the city. And it’s pretty clear why our founding fathers set up the nation the way they did; because it’s clear as fucking day that people in the cities have no clue what it’s like outside of them, and the reverse is true as well - many rural people not only don’t know about city life, but actively despise it (myself included).
I love not having a lot of people around me. I don’t have to deal with drug dealers, homeless people, and all the shit-stains littered around the city. I drive to work, and that little bit of time between work and home is the only solace I get to myself. I enjoy my car and not having to share it. If I could purchase a single-seat micro car, I’d jump alllll over that shit. Much unlike the folk I live around, who all drive 100k+ jacked up trucks.
