  • Seriously, what the f*** is keeping Donald Trump in this presidential race?

    Jump

  • I feel like this is just gift wrapping being a dumb racist hick in prettier paper. They are scared of cities because their full of black people, gays, and Mexicans. They like assholes who show the same level of hate as they do - who will keep the black people, gays, and Mexicans away. And they like someone who justifies hiding behind religion so they can tell themselves that God made them this dumb and rascist. So they can delude themselves into thinking they are really the good guy.

  • What's the coolest thing you found while metal detecting?

    Jump

  • Nothing valuable, but I discovered a cache of Matchbox cars, coins, spoons, and small plastic toys all in a small spot in my yard when I first moved in. Seemed cool imaging the kids playing there years prior. Building tunnels in the dirt to drive their cars through and accidentally burying them for me to find later.

  • How much do y'all spend on coffee a month?

  • Where do you buy from?

  • What is the most quintessential 90s movie?

    Jump

  • Just rewatched that as well. Some of my favorite parts:

    • It's set in 2021
    • His brain implanted hard drive holds a whopping 80GB. He uses a "doubler" to increase his capacity to 160GB. The whole plot of the movie is that he loads 320GB in, which leaks into his brain, and he has to get it back out before it kills him.
    • The encryption key to the data is photos of a tube television screen that have to be faxed to the recipient.
    • One futuristic aspect to his hotel room is that the TV wakes him up with a personal message on screen and then he uses it for a video call.
    • The local rebels are a group called the Low-Teks - led by Ice-T. They end up having the highest end tech.
    • The best doctor around is Henry Rollins.

  • What's your favorite and best Content to fall asleep to?

  • The fetish stuff is all created by people who can't experience ASMR and just assume it's what being horny feels like. Sad really.

  • What are some fun ways to prank an asshole neighbor I'm moving away from?

    Jump

  • What, you think I don't have any friends? Sigh. You are mostly correct. But I have this one.

    He's been renting for years. He's definitely moving. All clear.

  • What are some double standards in society for men ?

    Jump

  • This is going to be my new way to antagonize conservatives I know:

    ME: Did you know Harris has had 5 kids with 3 different partners?!

    MORON: I don't doubt it. She's a whore!

    ME: Oh sorry, I meant Trump.

  • What was "the incident" at your work place?

    Jump

  • Guy on the team rage quits one day. Few days pass and HR goes to clean out his desk. Finds a paper bag full of syringes and a very graphic instruction manually on how to inject something into your dick.

    Whatever it was, I guess it can't wait until you're at home to inject into your dong. It has to be at work.

    Cherry on top was that HR policy was to box up all personal belongings left behind and have the ex-employee come pick them up. So, if he had forgotten these things were in his desk, he certainly remembered after he came back and they handed him the bag.

  • Popular Programming Book "Clean Code" is being rewritten

    Jump

  • The consultancy I used to work for in the late 90s would have crucified any developer that didn't write "a data abstraction layer that allows you to pop off the original db and substitute a different one later".

    How many times in my 25 year career have I swapped out the database (and been thankful for such an abstraction layer)? 0 times.

  • YSK Americans, check to see if you can vote. Its real quick.

  • I'm down

  • Story time! What's something that happened to you or someone in your life that still makes you giggle?

    Jump

  • Me and my little brother are riding in the car with our mom. I was 12 and my mom was teasing me about my first girlfriend. My little brother had met her, so my mom asks him "What do you think of Waldowal's girlfriend?".

    That when my brother decides to break out a new phrase he'd learned: "Let's just say, as long as I have a face, she's got a place to sit!"

    Does Kamala Harris have a chance and

    Jump

  • It needs to be a nobody. Frankly, probably an boring older white man, so people could picture them in the Pres seat if needed, but otherwise unremarkable. Keep the interest on Kamala.

  • There's just something about it

    Jump

  • That's one way to ensure you get shot by the police.

    What are some unwritten or written rules of lemmy.world?

    Jump

  • Yes, you're right, but I think Lemmy culture adds an unwritten "don't be an overly aggressive asshole" on top of it. (Unless that's also explicitly written)

    What are some unwritten or written rules of lemmy.world?

    Jump

  • The only unwritten rule I know of is "be civil". I've yet to see those typical reddit replies of: "You're wrong about everything and should die you fucking bag of cunt hammers!" (Except from the guy that will respond to this post with that exact phrase)

  • What's your plan if Trump wins in November?

    Jump

  • Well, more accurately, mass murders with guns do. I'm not saying we ban guns. But let's not ignore half the issue. It's mental health and easy access to weapons of mass murder. Some gun control makes sense. Doing something about mental health makes sense.

    But you'll never see a Republican vote for either. Government provided mental health programs? That's communism! They are fine to let both problems run rampant.

  • Market forces

  • One of my favorite Onion headlines is: "Landlord forced to increase rent because they thought of a bigger number."

  • What’s the worst piece of technology you’ve ever owned?

    Jump

  • Went down the rabbit hole on this guy a bit. He went on to participate in the CyberNinjas audit of Arizona's ballots after the 2020 election. He claimed to have technology that could detect whether ballots had been folded in the mail, and claimed to detect bamboo in "fraudulent Chinese ballots".

    He was such a kook, the other kooks rejected him.

  • Seriously, where do I go?

    Jump

  • Come to Georgia. It's close. We're a swing state now. We could use your vote.
