Yeah, because no war has ever been fought to bring capitalism anywhere. Ever. Not even one little time.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.ca•What was a lesson that was super rough and hard-learned for you but that you are genuinely grateful for in retrospect?English
8·2 days agoEvery lesson I learned the hard way.
If you ever have the opportunity to learn from someone else’s mistakes, do it. The reason most people don’t is because that usually involves listening to someone else and taking their advice and many people aren’t willing to do that.

United States | News & Politics@midwest.social•House Democrats block constitutional amendment to lock Supreme Court at 9 justicesEnglish
28·2 days agoTerm limits. Expand the court.
There were originally nine justices, one for each of the nine court circuits. There are now 13 (ish?) circuits. Increasing the number of justices isn’t some radical idea that came from nowhere, it merely aligns us with the original convention.
Convention. “Back in my day,” memes were made mostly in MS Paint or MS Word. With MS Word, impact was the default font for an out-of-box variety of Word Art. Since it worked well for the task and was easily accessible, it became a common choice, then a ubiquitous component of the “meme” format.

I Made This@lemmy.zip•Made this "Supercargo" Pocket 🧵🪡English
5·2 days agoIt’s a good idea in theory, but what could I put in there that wouldn’t swing around while walking? At a certain point, your pants falling down from the weight becomes a risk.
Something like this on a belt or LBV would be awesome though. One big empty GP pouch is an underrated item in the field; one that collapses down would be very useful

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do you consider as "unworthy moments" in your life?English
3·2 days agoIf you’re overtaking, you’re supposed to speed up. If speeding up would put you at an unsafe speed, then overtaking is too dangerous at that moment. If there isn’t enough difference in speed to overtake in a timely manner, there isn’t enough difference in speed you should want to overtake.
Just because cruise control makes you drive a constant speed doesn’t mean it makes you drive the correct speed. Either adjust it down and accept your place in traffic, or turn it off long enough to speed up and complete your overtake without turning your two-ton death machine into an obstacle for everyone else to maneuver around.
fuck them lol in a rush for nothing
First of all, you don’t know that. They could be having an emergency. If it was your relative dying at the hospital, you’d want people to move out of your way too. Second of all, it’s not your job to police the roads. It’s not your job to make sure people drive slow enough. If you think someone is being dangerous by driving too fast, the safest thing you can do is get the fuck out of their way. Adding another car to an already dangerous situation only makes the situation more dangerous.
Call and report them if tou have to, but don’t try to enforce the law, that’s not your job.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL that a man killed his daughter in Texas after arguing about Donald Trump. The local jury refused to indict him. He was immediatly released.English
52·2 days agoThey kinda do. There are five possible causes of death: homicide, suicide, accidental, natural causes, and unknown. All deaths not determined to be accidental or natural require a police investigation.
Small numbers begin appearing out of thin air. A red bar drains slowly.

FDR was a Democratic Socialist. Trump says socialism is great!

131·4 days agolicenses are a very IT central idea.
No, that’s just the implementation you’re most familiar with. Licenses are a copyright idea that IT adopted and made digital. Every physical movie and game you own also comes with a license that authorizes your retail use of it, but forbids your commercial use of it. You can’t rent your copy of Shrek out to people, nor can you charge admission to people to watch Shrek at your house, nor are you allowed to make copies of your Shrek DVD and sell them, for example.

Technology@lemmy.world•Flock Safety's controversial CEO just got a taste of his own medicineEnglish
371·4 days agoBen Franklin was very progressive for his time. He owned a few slaves early in his life, but soon freed them and spent the rest of his life as one of that time period’s most outspoken critics of slavery. He even bought a printing press so he could spread anti-slavery rhetoric more effectively.
You have internet, there’s no excuse for being wrong unless you just like spreading misinformation.





Oh, I see the issue. You’re one of those tankies who equates authoritarianism with socialism.
