Elon has a cult following too and one of the largest media websites in the world. I hate the guy, think he's scum, but honestly if there's anyone who can actually do some real damage to the maga movement it's another drugged up billionaire with a cult and a bone to pick.
I've never heard that before, and doing some very light research, it does seem like "Spade" is a slur from the 1920s. At the same time however, the phrase "Calling a spade a spade." is a "modern" (1500's) adaption of an ancient Greek phrase.
The easy solution here is to just re-adapt it so it doesn't use a racist term. To keep the theming of shovels of course, the easiest answer is "Calling a shovel a shovel."
Thanks for the info, always good to learn a new thing or two :)
I've got an nvidia card and I've personally got no complaints about Wayland! been using it for some time to much success, I feel like x11 is just 'off' in comparison.
fuck republicans they're all god damn traitors, even the ones who just voted Republican. I'm so disgusted with so many people in this country, even family. fuckers.
As someone who feels similarly about AI art, but joined db0 anyway: I like the other things they got going on and I'm not stupid enough to whine and complain about the one thing I don't like. (I guess, technically this is doing some of that but shut up xD)
It's like if I went to a bar that has a bunch of games in it, and one is a bunch of pool tables or something and I really hate pool, I'm not gonna throw a fuss demanding they remove it? Some people like it even if I think it's not that cool.
Woah! BALL X PIT is shocking to me! This was easily my favorite second favorite next fest game I've ever played, just behind Balatro. The action is insanely cool, the combos are very unique and interesting. Loved every moment of it. Very curious to see how much the full game will have/add.
I am giggling over the idea of them fighting to the point they publically expose some of the crimes they have no doubt committed together. I mean give Elon enough ketamine and who knows what will happen xD
That's mostly right, though I'd like to add that gaming is a lot smaller of an issue these days thanks to proton, it's basically only multiplayer games with strict anti-cheat that don't work these days. (Valorant, League, Rainbow six siege, many others)
I tried a few flavors when they first came out and the only thought I had was "wow this tastes like pure sugar." So I can definitely see why kids would like them. I've seen a few kids begging their parents for them in stores too, which is crazy to me, because it's just a shitty energy drink/electrolyte drink.
I hate these because its impossible to remember people unless they had some super cool thing. my usual go to is "I'm Nora and I can scuba dive." which is cool and fine, but I could talk about that, and its so much more interesting and useful to find what people enjoy about their things.
as an example, you said you like reading! I enjoy a good book too! what are some of your favorite books and genres? do you have a Lemmy community you go to for book stuff? Tell me about a book you hate!
theres so many questions people could ask, but never do, so everyone becomes horribly forgettable.
This shit always pisses me off. I've encountered it in like 2-3 places over the years since I started using a password manager, and every time it's so frustrating and hard to figure out.
Yes, I frequently cook for my family and I use it on steaks, roasts, whole birds, pretty much anything big or where temperature is super important. I don't use it for chicken breast though as I tend to like that cooked beyond the recommended temperature anyway.
i hope so, alexandrite is what I've used for awhile now and I quite love it.
