Guns are fun and make everything fear you. Fear = respect. Also, wildlife is yours to kill if you like.

Teaching children valuable life lessons early on.

How drunk was he mowing the lawn?

Yes. The shuttle was both rocket and spacecraft, obviously controllable for landing. The Shuttle SRBs were reusable. They were not controllable for landing, but nonetheless they did land in a state that allowed reuse.

Musk achieved powered flight for landing his rockets, but even NASA had a long history of research with VTOL powered rockets that were not used for spaceflight.

He can certainly claim to have perfected it, but he certainly didn’t invent it.

I’d love to see a list of names for writing devices used by trolls/propagandists thar generate completely false information of varying types. Forced binary choices when a third way is valid or the choices aren’t even related. Most of them are just plain old lies, so I don’t think the list would be too long.

I’ve been participating in Threads (yeah, I know, should be ashamed) and I’m unfortunately a sucker for some of the ragebait, especially political.

Guess what Threads pushes at me. A lot of the dumbest ragebait. Not people that actually want to have a conversation. My fault for being a sucker, but the algorithms work.

Doesn’t really matter, I’m shadowbanned. Pissed off too many republican propagandists by refuting them, so as usual, the “report” button is their remedy.

The only problem I have with your statement is the implication that the only “someone” is trump.

Everyone should care about waste or excess spending.

Edit: and trump himself has driven a shitload of waste and excess for personal gain.

Prevents abortions, Republicans should be all for this, right? Right?

Iv’e spent enough time on Threads where seeing this is exactly what I would expect there. Warped my sense of what is real.

Still got a pretty good body count, though. Can’t have a sex scene, but films of virtually non -stop violence is cool.

Twitter or Threads? Threads has got some of the stupidest people, biggest trolls, or Dollar Store AI writing stuff on the platfom. It’s literally so bad that I have a genuinely hard time believing anyone could be so stupid to write the kind of material presented there.

This would be par for the course on Threads.

It was often owner/managers that couldn’t stay the f out of the way of employees who knew what they were doing, didn’t have a menu that was cost- and manpower-effective, or didn’t get rid of bad employees.

The show was obviously edited for effect, but IIRC the businesses were legit. They were usually on their last financial “leg”, and owners would give up.

Virtually all the failures otherwise were because the owner or management refused to follow Ramsay’s advice.

Putin agrees.

No water or other assistance for voters in contested areas.

Here’s $100 to say you like trump.

Man, this is a fucked up place.

Seems like the usual 1/3 that agrees with trump on whatever. Not gonna change.

Lemmy right-wing: Biden is too soft on Netanyahu!

The only thing that really concerns me about the election, other than the fact there’s any chance at all trump could win, is the people that are undecided. A decrepit, fascist, fraud, rapist, and convicted felon is running for president vs a female democrat - who at this stage is close to a ‘70s/80s republican, and people haven’t figured it out yet?

TBF, if someone tells you to chill, is your first response to double down on your first mistake?

Should be a sleep therapist.

Your comment looks only at temperature and skips past all the effects of said temperature. An unbelievably incomplete and willfully restricted view.

• Small push, ball rolls a very short distance and stops
• No color
• Male, maybe an extension of myself doing the push
• I did not visualize a complete person, only a suggestion of a body, and a arm/hand to push the ball
• Size of two fists together
• I did not visualize a full table, more like a camera view of a tabletop. Nondescript wood finish.

Did I already know? Sort of… My brain rotated through multiple possible imaginings. It worked forward, then reversed the logic to complete the scene. Nothing was set in stone: My brain decided that the ball would not roll off the table. Why? The ball has an uneven surface, it wobbled when stopping. Why? Because it has a surface like a soccer ball. Why? Because that was the first “look” my brain landed on that answered the question. I recall rotating through different colors and finishes, but after my brain imagined the ball stopping I had to come up with a why.
