The bubble won’t burst so long as there is more money being printed and companies can just inflate their way out of debt.

I was guilty of that very thing once. During my first programming class back in college, I wrote an Asteroids clone as a project. My professor kept sending it back telling me to fix it. I really racked my brain trying to figure out what he was sending back to me (he wouldn’t tell me, I was supposed to find and correct the error). The game ran just fine. Finally a gave up and asked him to tell me the answer of what my code was doing wrong. He showed me that I had one line of code that was basically making a new instance of the entire game for every screen refresh. (I wrote it in Java, so Java was just correcting it for me in real time.)

It’s funny to me to see people mythologize how perfect video games were before they could be remotely updated.

Sure, game developers rely on fix-it-later updates much more than they should today, but games had bugs back then too.

Progressive voter: “I’m sick of how old cowardly the Democrat party is.”

Me: “Are you going to run for office.”

Progressive voter: “Uh… No. That’s too hard.”

One executive order. It could literally be one sentence long.

With the exception of the spending bill, everything that’s been done by this administration has been done by executive order. The real problem is that the administration ran off all the skilled and knowledgeable workers.

This is, in fact, the opposite of a stable regulatory environment.

That… Is some fucked up shit.

That’s what I thought, but I wasn’t sure. My family eats at least one a week.

Actually you need more than a few.

Remember, when push comes to shove, not a single Republican voted to remove him from office after he tried to kill them.

No that’s not it.

There are just a few left in the GOP that are smart enough to realize that the White “Christian” state that is developing isn’t going to put them on top like they thought it would…

In Dallas, you can get one at Sam’s Club or Costco for $5.

And “old” in this case means “cooked this morning”.

Rotisserie chicken is like the absolute cheapest food a person can buy.

Synopsis: Social media is really bad for kids. Especially girls. But bad for boys too. Delay your kid’s exposure to social media for as long as possible.

They were so… Innocent.

Like, everyone trusted everyone. Like, sure perfect stranger online, I don’t mind telling you my real name, home address, and age. What’s the harm?

I jump between social networks every few years. My social network path has gone from AOL chat groups, to Yahoo News groups, to Facebook for a few years, to Twitter, to Mastodon, to Reddit.

Last week I decided to test Lemmy out. Best thing I can say about it is that it’s not any worse than all the others. Which is a pretty good compliment really, considering the resources and network advantages that all the others have.

Everyone here should read “The Anxious Generation”.

NATO is one of those instances where I generally agree with Trump on the issue at hand, and then strongly disagree with him on the solutions to the issue.

Like going back to his first administration, I actually agreed with Trump that NATO is a bad deal for America, and also even a bad deal for the other NATO nations. But the solution back then should have been a slow 10-15 year dissolution of NATO. Give Europe time to reorganize themselves, and then end the cold war era alliance. If we has started that process in 2016, Europe would be ten years further along in their own self reliance.

(Where Trump got everything wrong was that instead of actually developing a realistic plan for the dissolution of NATO, he just used the threat of America immediately pulling out to extort our friends.)

Of course we were joking. I kind of thought that would be obvious.

You are right. I should just deal with it.
