Cyberpunk dystopia at least has a good aesthetic…

I would absolutely advise talking to a doctor about this. That very much sounds like an allergy, and although there are many meds that may help, none of us online can safely advise them for you, you really do need a prescriber with access to your medical records/bloodwork for that.

As far as first steps go, regularly taking OTC allergy meds and developing a daily cleaning schedule + filters for the bedroom + keeping your dog off the bed at the very least, and ideally out of the bedroom entirely, will help. Also frequently bathing your dog can help keep the dander down.

And had they replied to that comment they would have had a point.

Its black humor, not cheering the deaths of people. It’s pointing out that we’ve been warning the world for years that exactly this will happen, and now it has in a way that resembles a system correcting itself. There’s no joy in hilighting this, just ironic tragedy and the laughter of the gallows.

The destruction of automobiles during a disaster which was made far worse as a result of climate change is a very poignant juxtaposition.

But they do still have analogies in spain, right? The flood didn’t wash away a fundemental facet of human communication?

They killed people they felt threatened by, and that they couldnt use. Teachers, doctors, authors, scientists, philosophers, social critics, journalists, midwives, artists, performers. Those are the people that died at the hands of Mao and Kim, not the capitalists whose wealth they both needed. Mao was all about investment into collectivist systems, one of the biggest factors driving The Great Leap Forward was the need to quickly develop new sources of domestic investment. And the DPRK is just a corrupt Juche system, they love foreign investors (and holding them for ransom!). Just because a few people you don’t like incidentally died in the purges too doesn’t mean they had “the right idea”, and it’s sickening to see you spout that revisionist BS here.

Hell I’m dead sober and I can’t pronounce it, this is some peak orthoepic warfare.

Melt the mirror. Who the fuck does it think it is anyways, shiny things don’t belong in the sky.

Pretty much this. How many artists did you follow on, say, reddit? There were so few on there, and those that were there mainly linked to alternate social media and just used reddit to get engagement. Lemmy is probably the most approachable activitypub interface (we all remember trying to find the damn content on mastadon/bluesky…) and it’s just not big or established enough to be worth trusting. Hopefully that will start changing soon as more people hop over from the myriad other sites, we seem to be past the critical point for new users, but it just takes time.

I have heard good things about the SMEG fridges, FWIW.

I feel that. All the information stored on my PC isnt worth a fraction of what my graphics graphics card cost…

It’s obviously more complicated than can be summarized in a lemmy comment, but that said you’re absolutely correct. That load management is the reason bitcoin mining farms undervolt their cards, so that they can maximize lifetime while minimizing energy usage.

Thermal cycling is one of the biggest stressors electrical components can be subjected to. Leaving your processor on and at a consistent load massively improves the lifetime of the chip. So take THAT, mom!

If it converts a single R voter, it’ll have a bigger positive impact on the election than either of us will.

And people who’ve registered with a party are more likely to be proactive voters. Honestly there’s so many complaicating factors here that trying to interpret this data is folly.

Probably they are matching voter ID to driver’s license records. Thats what we did when preparing this kind of report was my job, at any rate.

You’ve a winning argument, to be sure! Not sure where I quantified how much I think hollywood influences culture but okay.

FWIW, obviously popular media both is influential and responds to culture. “Hollywood” really shouldn’t be treated as a singular entity if we’re trying for a semblance of legitimacy. This is really quickly going to fall into a discussion of the role of the audience and how that’s changed in the digital era (vs. when Aristotle first brought it up…), and neither of us care enough to suffer through thay. Suffice to say it’s not cut and dry, and beyond that I dont know any better than you do what specific impact they have (and neither do they).

This is a real Im14AndThisIsDeep meme. More people have access to platforms where they can share their creative works than at any other point in human history, if you aren’t seeing it then you’re not really trying to find it. That point would be fair, too; its hard to find original content (even more so with the rise of AI-driven SEO). It’s not the trend in hollywood, but hollywood doesn’t define culture NEARLY as much as they’d like to think they do…)

TL;DW:

“Even on this issue, donald trump and his rightwing friends are worse.”
