  • How on earth?

  • Haha damn, totally missed it.

    It's actually significantly more expansive than it looks. Part of the bridge you see runs under our deck, and then on the other side there is an enclosed ramp up to our kitchen window. Another part of it forks off to the front of the deck so they have a primo sunbathing spot .We simply unlock the little cat door that was installed in the window screen, and they are out.

    Thanks for the kind words. We feel good about the compromise of letting them outside, but not letting them kill all the surrounding wildlife.

  • I made a catio in my backyard (3rd one attached the house) because our little bastards will kill everything in a kilometre radius. Not that we've ever tested that, but we've seen how they act when creatures smaller then them are out and about within their purview.

  • you ignore it until you can't anymore

    Jump

  • How about you just ignore it and move on, instead of asking everyone to pander to your standards? Not to be rude, but no one on the internet gives a shit about your standards, and no one is going to try to comply with them. Use the downvote button if you don't like the word

  • Anti-Trump MeidasTouch dethrones mighty Joe Rogan as top podcast in US

    Jump

  • Rogan used to have great stuff on his show pre-covid, especially MMA talks. He even had a great episode with Michael Osterholm at the beginning of the pandemic.

    Shortly after that, he 180'd on his vaccine stance, and moved from Cali to Texas. Since then, he's been a total conservative pundit.

    I've long since kicked Rogan from anything I listen to, but there was a time where he was entertaining, and did have great guests. Some of his "talking nonsense" was kind of what made his show fun, when it was harmless. Now he spreads misinformation and perpetuates brainrot in young men.

    Whats a good Linux distro to dip my toe in with in a laptop running Windows 11? Is there a decent longer form guide to doing it successfully?

    Jump

  • I was in your exact spot some months ago. I went with Linux Mint, and I have been thoroughly converted. Feel free to check my post history, there was a lot of great information provided by the Linux community. Good luck and enjoy!!

  • GOP Senator Admits He Wants Epstein File Release Blocked to 'Cover' for Trump

  • LOL good catch

    I'm not editing it

    We wouldn’t need the Epstein files to prove DJT’s guilt if society just trusted women in the first place.

    Jump

  • Trial by socia media? Fuck outta here.

    All these scummy shitbags are certainly guilty, but this needs to be proven.

    The motto I get behind is "trust, but verify".

  • It's payday if a judge in 10 years gives a shit about constitutional violations, or if judges are still non-partisan by then. The dude also looks Latino, so his odds are even worse. I am an outsider looking in, but I wouldn't trust that shit hole country to uphold any sense of the law after what I've seen over the last few weeks. Fuckin' embarrassing mess down there.

  • Total asshole thing to say on his part. We have down vote buttons for a reason.

    I have to say, I'm not sure I agree with your points entirely either. However, I do appreciate you voicing a pretty unpopular opinion, stating your points in a calm manner, and not taking rage bait. Lemmy can often feel like a left wing echo chamber, and it's nice to know I'm not seeing comments from the same 5 people with multiple alt accounts. The fediverse is starting to feel alive.

    what are they bombing yemen for?

    Jump

  • Well, alright. I just don't think you should make definitive statements based on speculation considering how many stupid people will take that as fact, but to each their own. Just my own opinion.

    what are they bombing yemen for?

    Jump

  • That's just like, your opinion, man.

    In all seriousness though, Michael Waltz being informed the bombs had dropped and responding with "👊🇺🇸🔥" seemed the opposite of presentable to me. That's something my retired tradesman father would text me if his football team won the Superbowl, not something that is appropriate or presentable to the eyes of the American populace after killing a bunch of brown people in Yemen.

    Jump

  • Hard disagree. If you read the signal transcripts, it sounded like frat boys planning a bombing run.. highly unprofessional.

    I think it's also a good idea to state this is your opinion, and is not, in fact, "100% arranged and intentional". We don't need more misinformation spread around.

  • Classic Lemmy downvoting shit they don't like to hear when it's true.

    I fucking hate Joe Rogan and think he's a total cunt, especially as of late, but at the beginning of the pandemic and prior, he did have some great guests like Michael Osterholm.

    My best friend might be a Nazi sympathizer.

    Jump

  • Just my 2 cents, and echoing some of the sentiment in this thread.

    IMO, if he's buying Telsa stock, it doesn't make your buddy a Nazi, or even a Nazi sympathizer. He's just a guy making money in a capitalist system. It is what it is, and I'm not going to blame anyone for trying to make money where they can. I have friends in the same situation, making money off Telsa, and also despising Elon as a person. I don't hold it against them, everyone needs to find a way to support themselves. You aren't going to sewer your own financials just to be morally superior, because that's going to be a net loss, and it's pissing into the wind in terms of fighting the system.

    If he's overtly supporting Elon himself, that's a different story, but it sounds like he just is making bank off the stock, will ride it out as it's in his best interest, and there isn't much cause for concern.

    Again, like other commenters have said, just talk to him. Make him aware you understand he likes Tesla, but ask him if he supports Elon politically/ethically. Make your decisions based off of that. A lot can be accomplished with just a casual conversation. I wouldn't recommend talking to him with an accusatory or defensive standpoint. I would be pretty casual about it to see where he sits.

    Good luck friend. It's nasty out there.

  • Donations to Luigi Mangione's legal defense fund slowed, then surged

    Jump

  • You're missing the point, especially if you think a fair and just system even exists within the US. If you want to take the stance that "murder is illegal", sure, what he did was illegal. Jury nullification is a way we peons can still hold an iota of power. It's spitting in the face of unjust systems.

    Let me ask you this. Would you prefer a situation in which Luigi was convicted for murder, sentenced to life in prison, and the system never changes? Or would you prefer a situation in which exceptions are given in exceptional circumstances in an attempt to change a fundamentally broken system?

    If your answer is the former, you might just want to apply at United and work your way up.
