make your billions by buying lots of small, but super profitable investments.

what if you’re both?

as a queer brown man; i don’t want to be anywhere at all.

why 1949 and where?

fwiw: gay nightlife in san francisco was at its zenith in the 50’s & 60’s .

the san francisco we have today is a tiny dim more conservative ember of what it was back then.

We’re not stupid. We’re scared.

too scared. i very recently spent five years in austin and i learned that the 1) liberal texans are only liberal compared to other texans 2) they readily and easily shrug their shoulders in accepting defeat from institutions that they already know are racist, homophobic, sexist, and classicist and do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING else and 3) will fight and report you to the authorities from those same institutions if you try to do ANYTHING else; my favorite examples are of californians disabling driver-less taxis with traffic cones and new-mexicans pelting short term rentals with eggs and bologna, meanwhile liberal austinites will literally call the cops on you if do either of these (ask me how i know).

when it gets stuck on something like that, it’s because of a hardware related change; did you update or modify your bios recently or change hardware drivers?

execution

Still, for a party that has spent years ignoring or denying the biggest threat to our planet’s future, tonight’s responses were actually, almost, a little bit refreshing.

setting the bar so low that any response besides outright hostility as refreshing, is not refreshing.

As Moscow increases military spending and Western sanctions weigh on its energy exports, the currency dropped below the psychologically important level of 100 to the US dollar.

there are many currencies that go well below 100 per dollar; i wonder why this is a marker of any kind.

you can not blame them all you want, it’s still true; i speak from experience when i say this: gays are the most-clueless of all the minorities.

but only if you know enough about the fediverse to be aware; if i had no logged into like i usually don’t do on these days, i would never know and spend the rest of my time on lemmy.world trying to figure out why i can’t find any pirating stuff to share.

“There are many Middle East countries who do not tolerate homosexuals, they actually hang and execute homosexuals,” she said, according to Reuters news agency.

“In the US many states have passed laws that are either against or restrict activities of homosexuality… so why pick on Uganda?”

because they have more money than you.

If I’m going to spend all this money on living expenses I may as well do that somewhere better.

i did something similar between austin, texas and chicago, illinois. now my new place is 2x the size; w lots of amenities; costs less than texas; but most importantly, my new home isn’t descending into a conservative fascist hell hole while everyone just sits around and watches it happen while simultaneously ignoring the clear reasons why and how to help it. lol

Tell me you’re a white middle- or upper-class male without telling me…

also straight and clueless. lol

i had the same thought: NPR did a story on alaskan pipelayers & plumbers that were starting to experience the effects of climate change on the soil about 15-is years ago and then revisited them again about 5-ish years ago. in the first set of interviews from 15 years ago, a big majority refused to attribute the issues that they were experiencing to climate change and in the second set 5 years ago, they nearly unanimously refused to attribute the issues to climate change.

climate change is now politics and any and all politics will be denied if you want it bad enough

this why i’m skeptical of reports that people will stop voting republican in the united states. primarily because it’s been said before but also because climate change makes like harder and history has proven that whenever life gets tough; people become more xenophobic/racist/etc.

since making the fediverse my new home; i learned that i spend an hour (maybe 2 max) before i run out of content and i can spend 4+ hours without noticing while scrolling reddit even though i no longer have an account there and can’t participate in any conversations anymore.

that sounds less like a backfire and more like a temporary reprieve because the groups that take these actions are better organized, funded, and with more members than the library’s supporters can ever hope to match.

the examples they cite in the article happening across the country for this type of behavior proves that they usually win.

reddit has proved to be a jugernaut due to the multiple diasporas it survived in the last decade+ and also because it’s much easier for noobs to use and get hooked than the fediverse; so leaving it can only impact you.

i love how the people he’s screwed hard enough to be forced out of politics continue to publicly insist that they’re best buddies with him in the hopes of continuing to woo some kind of base; especially pence. lol
