On one hand, yes this was terribly stupid.

One the other, I understand why people are forced to drive under desperate circumstances to get to work, doctors appointments, etc. because public transit in most places is so bad it’s worthless.

There’s a reason that your instance (and others) has defederated from hexbear.

i don’t think hexbear is a good sample group for the average lemmy user nor representative of lemmy users a whole. you might do better sampling lemmy.world, or assembling a meta poll from the top 5 or top 10 instances.

curious: why would the fast animal consider the weapons primitive?

Pair that with the GOP systematically destroying public institutions by gutting public funding as much as possible while simultaneously eroding public trust. Our public education system? It used to be the best in the world until Regan and Bush I and II tore it to shreds. Same with our healthcare system. All in the name of privatization.

The NYPD is the size of an army and armed as well as one. They can handle it.

That would be some serious abracadabra shit if he pulls this off.

David Blaine, watch out!

I wanna know: How the ever living fuck does Trump get the apparently best, dirtiest lawyers that get him out of everything when he’s famous for never paying his lawyers? Wtf?

Ghouliani is about to not only be homeless, but get strung up and do hard time because if Trump. And he has multiple teams of new lawyers doing horrible things again for him now. HOW??

Not only did they encourage him, the bought him the gun in the ammo, and trained him how to use it.

Yeah, I decided to actually bother and read the article. That’s why I made my edit. This sounds like a very important technical milestone for the development of fusion reactors. Hooray!

Is… is that good?

Edit: it is!

lucky, those are all the best places! ❤️

I would, but mine’s on an upswing right now.

Thy couldn’t even recapture the magic with the sequel. There’s no way these movies won’t suck ass.

It should also be noted that copyright laws usually have all sorts of exceptions for fair use such as satire, education, etc. Typically, keeping and even using a copy without permission is legally allowed under certain circumstances.

lol, copying isn’t theft. You already had to download a copy just to view it. That’s how websites work.

Here’s the thing: Trek was never gritty before. Trek acknowledged the hardships of how we got to that utopian place, but only as a… distant abstract. It was in the past. As Trek went on and new series premiered, more history was revealed. It was gruesome. WWIII.The Eugenics Wars. Khan— who we then met, twice, and, who, then became a person of galactic importance.

But it wasn’t until DS9 that we actually got a glimpse of post-contemporary Earth, but pre-WWIII. We saw San Fransisco in 2024. We saw something we had not yet, as a society, yet conceived in the mainstream: Sanctuary Districts.

Today is March 17, 2024.

I’m not gonna lie: in 1993, I was 14. Even then, I didn’t see how we could stop all this from happening.

I’ll be 85 in 2064. I really hope I live to meet the Vulcans.

Now you’re just being mean 😢

Autonomous cars are barely working. How the hell is this a good idea?
