The difference will be that we have guns and excellent communication technologies. Also, as a vet I refuse to believe our military members would obey such orders. That’s one of the things that was strongly taught when I was in, you have a responsibility to disobey an illegal order. The “I was just following orders” excuse hasn’t been acceptable for some time.

Reminds me of the Dursley’s house from Harry Potter… until it got weird.

What happened to us (Americans)? We used to look down on Soviet propaganda and book burning; congratulating ourselves on our free speech. Now we’re burning books and outlawing news sources that don’t abide by the official propaganda. It’s sickening.

Hardspace: Shipbreaker. If I’m wanting to play a game but don’t have anything specific it usually means I just want a mental break from life. Shipbreaker is perfect for that. It’s fun and engaging but you play at your own pace and no one is shooting at you. Plus you’re floating around in space with 6 degrees of movement (not considering 360 degrees of rotation) tearing apart spaceships!

Came here to say this, but you beat me to it.

Seconded!

Get a motorcycle. Ok, so if you don’t know how to ride, get a cheap second hand bike under 600cc and take the MSF Basic Rider course. Guaranteed to spice up your life, give you a desire to get out of the house, and you’ll meet many cool people.

The same way that AT THE TIME everyone rooted for the cowboys, not the Indians (Native Americans, but taking a little poetic license); everyone rooted for the glorious British Empire, not any the the “backwards 3rd world countries” they invaded; etc. The key is that public opinion is swayed by those that own the media, and that means rich old white men.

I played Atari 2600 back when it was the console to have. I didn’t see a pixel that wasn’t square until I was a man. You think you know old gaming. I was born into it, molded by it, and it made me what I am today; an old man with back pain.

The Beatles - Number 9. Such a ruinous track on an otherwise wonderful album.

The real question will be is +3% on everything you purchase greater or less than $1600. If you spend less than $53,000.00 per year it’s a benefit. We know the corporations will simply pass the 3% on to consumers (likely with additional percent or three thrown on for good measure). But if you’re spending less than 50K with those corporations it’s still beneficial.

*from autoerotic asphyxiation…

Please disregard, after reading further in the comments I get the gist. I guess as I use LemmyWorld I don’t have to deal with them.

As someone out of the loop, why is hexbear bad? Alternatively, what is hexbear about?

Al mentions 7 digits and not 10 because back in our day you had to pay long distance charges if you dialed a number outside of your area code. Therefore only the 7 digits were required because no one was dialing 1-xxx to get to another area code and have charges show up on their parents bill and then have to explain who you were calling and why.

Odd, the one on the right are my plans. I don’t know what the salad eating is about.

A nod to our straight allies 😉

That was the most horrifying thing I’ve ever read before realizing it was the onion.
