What’s the over/under on Polio for 2026?

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 23 points 1 week ago

He’s lowered prescription drug prices by 1500%, too.

Like numbers mean anything to this deranged ape.

I was in that scene in the 80s. Been thinking about it a lot lately, it’s hard.

Bon Jovi’s crew had a designated chaperone, and I thought that was weird at the time. It was cool, though. I do appreciate it now. They wouldn’t allow the drugs or the sex – some roadie crews had that, and others didn’t, there was none of that (eta: the really bad stuff) in my circles, but I heard about the bad ones. I was like 15 at that time.

I was thinking the bear belonged to window guy. That the guy jumping out the window was that dumb kind of tough that does reckless things like jumping out glass windows and riding a bear.
Definitely wouldn’t have got it without the context.

e : and I thought the joke was that’s how dumb-tough guy thinks he has to evacuate a building, because that’s how it’s done, like in movies.
So there was a punchline in my head, but it was quite wrong.

Because in the grand scheme of everything ads have so little effect on life

That’s objectively untrue, though. It’s just so effective, you don’t notice it anymore, and that’s kind of scary.

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 week ago

Wow. So glad this is what’s on what’s left of his mind. Not soaring prices or atrocities committed in his name. No, this is what matters.

Anyone else see a red circle at their feet, or is that just me?

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well, yeah. Regulations are a major part of society, and a major reason we tend to come together. Yet another reason libertarianism is misguided.

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago (3 children)

You literally can do that.

Why do people seem to think this is impossible?

What’s changed? Some parts of that life are sometimes illegal, but most people haven’t been against it like this.

What’s different?

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

Well yeah, I get that. But there are plots for really cheap, but they don’t have any kind of access to water, sewage, or whatever. Plots for like 10,000 or less. That sounds like a lot, I suppose, but it isn’t. I think it’s more that people don’t understand how money works,

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

Of course I do. And again, that’s my point.

People romanticise this, but it’s impossible for many reasons. You can easily try, but we have societies for a reason.

Everyone is free to do this, but good luck in practice. It’s not just hard, and it’s not just stupid, but why the fuck would you want this? It’s insane, and we’re not geared for this.

Life in the wilderness is not a Disney movie. It’s so ruthlessly difficult, that’s why society exists. We are stronger, safer, and happier together.

Yes, that would need to be the plan. One upfront payment then never paying for utilities or other things forever. That’s the only way this works. You don’t need income, because you live on rabbits and fish and your garden. If your house burns, you put it out with buckets from your stream. You build your house yourself by cutting down trees.

If you get sick, you either die or you don’t.

I think this is madness, but that’s how you do this.

 

Animals live in an entirely different reality FYI

This video compares the perception of sound and reality ‘refresh rates’ between animals like dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, ducks, small birds, elephants, insects, etc.

 

‘Taco Bell isn't even good’

Yeah I know. Sometimes the raccoon inside of me craves garbage. Leave me & my Crunchwrap alone.

There are many reasons you might have unclaimed funds (abandoned accounts, uncashed checks, misspelled names, incorrect addresses, misplaced inheritance and trusts, etc), and your state is required to hold your property until you claim it.

They will not seek you out, and most people are completely unaware they may have lost funds or property being held by the state.

Every state has an official (.gov) website where you can check whether you have unclaimed property and submit a claim. Just search ‘[my state] unclaimed property’.

e: make sure you go to the official state website; I just noticed some state search top results aren’t the official (.gov) website.

e2: also, check every state you’ve lived in. Moving state is one of the major reasons this happens, and your unclaimed funds will not move to a new state with you.

e3: if you find unclaimed funds, please comment! I’m fascinated to know, no matter how large or small.

You’re lucky – an overhead cubby and 3 drawers. Plenty of places to hide booze.

 

The basis for my theory:

If we developed warp drive, genetic manipulation, and transporter tech, I’d reckon even before that we’d first figure out how to make dogs live for hundreds of years. Because that’s easier and of course we would.

I’ve seen people post that it must have been like Porthos v9 because of the time difference, but there’s no way that dog didn’t outlive Archer by decades, because if we’re going to do anything good as a species, it will be making sure our dogs outlive us.

So Scotty lost the OG Porthos.

e: better phrasing

It’s just sight gag after sight gag. I kept waiting for it to get better, but it never did. It’s like a live-action Woody Woodpecker cartoon, which was fine when I was 7, but is shallow and boring now.

Why is everyone raving about it? What am I missing?

 

Reddit has so many bots, formulaic comments, and clear patterns (reposts, call-and-response, joke chains, & copypasta), that it seems useful to farm Lemmy for more unique comments performing well to steal.

I could see value of someone farming these comments because there’s far less of all that and people are actually creative much of the time. I don’t know if this would be more trouble than it’s worth, but got to wondering.

Is anyone doing this? Farming Lemmy for, especially, comments to post on Reddit to make themselves seem more authentic?

Do you know of this is plausible, or have you actually seen it happen?

Just to be very clear, I don’t want to do this. I abandoned all my other accounts during the Great Enshittification. But there are a few bot accounts that post a lot here, across several instances, focussing on reposting from Reddit and elsewhere. Is that what they’re trying to do?
