I think Rule 63 is just gender-swapping

Rule 63 too, I think

That’s true and worth noting. The difference is much starker when the benchmark is food and fuel, since real estate (and stocks) rose much higher compared to other things.

Between 2020 and 2024 there was about 22% inflation. 1.22x$195,400=$238,388. So there’s still over $110,000 of price inflation to account for past devaluation of the dollar.

The Curtis Yarvin / Peter Thiel “Dark Enlightenment” was overtly anti-democracy and had some dollars behind it, but has been a clown show of an ideology from the start (over 15 years ago) and has only withered more in daylight.

Whether it’s morally right, there’s a wide canyon between proposing an entire alternative political system, and deplatforming people on X or Starlink.

Usually biodiesel compatibility is a function of fuel pumps and injectors, the high performance ones are $$$. I wouldn’t assume Euro models are biodiesel compatible, the VW diesels weren’t after the ‘Pumpe düse’ era.

My god what an embarrassing take

Correct, just the communities. I still see .ml user posts and comments in other communities, which is tolerable. Plenty of them are fine. For the that aren’t, the heckler’s veto sometimes keeps the dumber narratives at bay.

I appreciate that instance labels carry some meaning of how a user is likely to act.

I avoid phishing emails by avoiding all emails

The iron cross is still used by modern German armed forces

eat my ass if that annoys you

Everyone disliked that.

At least you acknowledge you’re being a dickhead, but don’t get so buttmad that it upsets people 😂

I fucking hope it’s AI lol, it looks like a theme party in a retirement community.

Never updating your browser again is a pretty bad idea when it comes to security

Lemmy.ml is the only instance block I have, after seeing too many illiberal shit takes, bad faith arguments and socialist astroturf posts.

My instance quickly defederated from HexBear and LemmyGrad which is just fine by me, it’s helpful most of the bad eggs are concentrated in just a few places.

I want to get off Mr. Bones’ Wild Ride

I still consider them fringe, they’re just now much more visible than they were before. I’m not trying to say that it’s not an in issue either.

These crackpots have always had an audience when they see returns.

The antidote is going outside, engaging with things and people you disagree with, and being a skeptic of your own beliefs. I was actually an Alex Jones listener way way back when Bush was president. There was this guy who superficially cared about civil rights and was railing against a government that operated in secret, and a lot of the appeals made sense - until you realized that his prophecies failed one after the next, and he was really just on the air to sell dick pills.

This isn’t so different from how it always was. Before social media existed in its modern form, Alex Jones used to broadcast from a 100kW shortwave station. The chem trail nonsense goes back almost thirty years. I suspect the spiritual origin is traceable back to 60s counterculture. Snake Oil type scams and witch doctors go back to prehistory.

The biggest difference is that people can now engage directly with these things immediately and worldwide, they don’t have to be part of an alternative magazine mailing list.
