The point of sanctions is not to deny a country access to products. That would be impossible. The idea is that acquiring sanctioned goods is full of friction and expense.

Smugglers don’t offer 2day shipping or easy returns. It’s also ironically a good thing to see Western tech in Russian weapons because it implies that they can’t produce the tech themselves or buy it off China.

Everything special about this man was true when he still had an umbilical chord.

He and Trump are what happens to generational wealth. You have clever criminals like Trump’s dad and Grandad, and Joseph Kennedy, only for three generations to pass and your left with stupid criminals.

I think that the Trump and Kennedy names belong next to each other. Even if it does ruin the opera for rich cunts.

Online debate is fun. I don’t care if it falls short of solving the worlds problems.

When I worked at Blockbuster, I miskeyed almost every credit card number on new-member applications. The system didn’t authorize the cards, or even check if the number was valid.

At the end of every shift, the computer would attempt to charge late fees to the card on record if your balance was >30days old. The failure rate was high due to expired cards anyway, so nobody ever got suspicious.

Professional wrestling was all fun and games until it started airing on CSPAN.

quit to the main menu

Fuck you, I wanna quit to the desktop.

It’s not like the regular numbers behave themselves. Have you ever heard a coherent, non-self referential definition of the number 3?

If you pay attention, there are only three humans in this picture, each duplicated. We know AI is fascist because it failed art school.

FF with Ublock should block Youtube out of the box. Have you messed with the block-lists or other configuration?

Homer is obviously white in terms of culture

You understand that race and skin color are not the same thing, which makes the rest of your argument confusing. If we are to understand that yellow is just a proxy for white, then making it the standard and default is preserving the essence of whiteness while flatting and erasing everything else.

Race isn’t real. Neither are laws, human rights, boarders, sovereignty, language, the law, and money. Just because something isn’t real doesn’t make it powerless or irrelevant. Only people with yellow privilege get to ignore race.

Look to the wiki link in my previous post for details, but the basic procedure was to uninstall the Nvidia drivers, shut down, install the new card, boot up and install the AMD drivers (there is a command to automatically detect your card and select the appropriate driver from the repos), and update the bootloader. I ended up having to do the second half through SSH, but otherwise a pretty painless process.

I switched from an Nvidia to AMD on catchy. There are instructions in the Wiki. https://wiki.cachyos.org/features/chwd/gpu_migration/

It worked for me with only one issue. When I booted up the first time, I had no signal to the monitor. No big deal, I just used SSH from another computer to install the AMD drivers and update the bootloader.

This is a false choice between huge lifestyle changes for everyday people and regulating the polluters. Regulating the polluters is going to cause huge lifestyle changes for everyday people.

The idea that any of us get to go on as usual is the main roadblock to meaningful climate action.

Inflation so high, my phone number went up 20%

I’m convinced that grammar/ spelling people think God is an English teacher and his cock is a huge red pen. Grading other peoples work makes them feel power and proximity to the divine.

If a person sleeps with their boss to get ahead, that doesn’t make the person a slut, it makes the boss a sex offender.

Even the “sexy woman controls powerful man” narrative is about power dynamics and manipulation. Some men fear this for the same reason buglers always lock their doors.

If you get this joke, it’s time to schedule that colonoscopy.

Do you know the difference between an ironic bigot and an actual one? Me neither.

If your confused, look up irony poison. Ironic bigotry isn’t funny. If not by virtue of bad taste, then by virtue of being played to fucking death.

Patches are not the worst thing in the world. There was a Robocop game, I think for the NES. The developers didn’t have time to complete the 5th level, so they put a time limit on the 4th level that was impossible.

Imagine if Cyberpunk or No mans sky were final at launch.

Yea, it’s pretty lonely being an actual progressive on lemmy sometimes.
