Not quite a suitable answer, but I concocted the saying “stop negatizing”. My parents then used the term against me throughout my childhood when I would pout or mope around.

I quite like the saying.

It’s good work music; I listen to it all day every day at my job.If you’re actually interested, I will gladly gush about it!

Nope! I listened to rap and metal when I was in school. Now, I listen only to Colundi.

Thanks for reminding me. :(

We’d better get to work!

It frustrates me that nobody has attempted construction of a Coriolis station yet. They are so prolific throughout science fiction and theoretical scientific literature, and they have been prolific for ages.

Detractors of Coriolis stations will usually say that the scale required for the optimal 1G is not feasible, but the physics behind the idea are more or less sound.

We have the technology to build one, it’s just a matter of profitability. Nobody wants to burn their trillions on a moonshot.

So I’m exposing my ignorance here, but I have a question.

Apart from MTG’s association, how am I to make the distinction between a “real” bill and a “statement “ bill?

I understand what you’re saying, and have been persuaded by your latest comment; I’m just hung up on that “just a statement bill” thing.

E: I guess it’s literally as simple as “MTG is such a joke that her bills will never pass”.

Yeah, it’s amazing nobody in this pedantic thread mentioned that awful tweet. That tweet reframes the whole argument, if you ask me.

You make an important distinction, but by voting against the statement AOC is still saying “I don’t like the idea of defunding Israel’s Iron Dome”.

Is that not something to be frustrated with?

We have virtually no progressive politicians in the US. The ones that are progressive inevitably concede to safe and exhausted liberal ideologies, and this further proves that point.

Hurrr durrr horseshoe theory

Any substantive cut on Israel’s funding needs to be made if it is introduced. I literally don’t care what they’re defunding or who introduced the bill; the less my taxpayer dollars go to genocidal psychos, the better. End of story.

Um… what the fuck. This is literally how I was initially exposed to Coldplay.

Out of touch, suburban mom driving kids around on errands and dropping them off at their extracurriculars.

Yeah probably not. Instagram has a pretty big racism and bigotry and anti-intellectualism problem. The average user over there does not know what imperialism means, to my eyes.

This is Instagram.

I know, I wish I didn’t know, too.

Hasn’t this been known for some time? Perhaps I’m confusing these spiders with ones that simply form wind sails.

Fair warning: Noita is excellent, but it is also quite difficult and obtuse when you first pick it up.

My rec for Minecraft similarity is Terraria.

What about AP?

Pbs bye bye now. Me smarter now though. Me teacher reached me about god and told me that as long as I pray to my god I will be happy and that got tells us it’s okay because we are his chosen once and no one else matters and. We need to show them god too so we will make big holy weapons in factories when we grow up. Also I am so glad stients were deleted. Stients reached us false messages and that god was not real and stients caused people to live a part from god. I always sayed that oh wow it sounds good to be a part from god like god made the trees and the dogs but they told me it’s bad.

Talking about the left, no, we don’t like that. That’s a bad topic. The left is to blame for this war. Crooked Joe Biden is so sleepy all the time that he didn’t even know tue war was going on! I could have ended the war on day one, but Zelenskyy, well, he’s not a very good guy. He doesn’t ask a lot of good questions. When your asking the president of America a question, it better be a good questions. But sleepy Joe, oh man, he’s just awful. This war is all because of him.

Yes! It really is something special. Post something, and people will engage with it authentically. I love Lemmy so so much and I’m glad “normal” people are allergic to federation.
