See you on the front lines, boys.
How was the mini series? I’ve been meaning to check it out.
Go out and get a bike and a shotgun. Don’t let your dreams be dreams.
The book 11/22/63 by Stephen King had a great scene about the Cuban Missile Crisis that I thought was amazing at humanizing the whole situation.
Before reading that scene, the Cuban Missile Crisis was a short blip in my highschool history book. I had a vague idea that the Russians were moving nukes to Cuba and the US said that would be crossing a line in the sand which they would consider a nuclear attack. But that was it.
The scene from the book tells it from a family’s perspective going through all the fear and uncertainty that the average person was feeling. People were absolutely convinced that the world was ending. It’s worth a read.

A while back, one of my Trumper neighbors decided that she didn’t use an elliptical work-out machine that she had bought over 2 years prior. She took it back to the store without a receipt and demanded that they give her money for it - not just store credit - even though it was well past the return date.
When telling me this story, she acknowledged her crazy behavior by saying “haha I was acting like such a liberal.”
In her mind, it’s as simple as “liberal = bad”. The actual definitions of words mean nothing to them.

I’my first playthrough of Satisfactory, I was like “I’m gonna leave these trees up to not completely ruin this area and make things look nice.” After a few playthroughs I was full on “is it faster to use explosive rebar or cluster bombs to remove the trees?”

jballs@sh.itjust.worksto politics @lemmy.world•Trump coveted a military spectacle but his parade proved underwhelming: ‘Just kind of lame’English0·19 days agoA tent managed by a beverage company handed out room-temperature bottles of an energy drink, Phorm. The flavor, called Screamin’ Freedom, tasted like hard candies dissolved in water, and an advisory on the cans warned that they were not to be consumed by minors or pregnant women.
If we saw this in a movie, we would laugh at how overly top unreal it was.
Really? Do posts show as read for you? Maybe Lemmy.world is still running an old version of Lemmy. Once sh.itjust.works patched to a new version 8 or 9 months ago, Sync became completely unusable for me.
Not gonna lie, it brought a smile to my face when you were sitting in your house on a cool spring day, reading a somewhat plausible but lengthy story about a captivating subject. Then you got a slight suspicion that this story almost seemed too good. Too perfect for the situation. How could this random person on the Internet have such a great story about being a snake charmer, a stunt pilot, or whatever. Then it hits you just like when back in nineteen ninety eight the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.
I’ve been on sh.itjust.works for the last couple of years. The admins are cool as hell. Highly recommend.
I know right?!
my neighbors are trekkies and Linux, as a fan of windows and star wars
Made this a couple weeks ago for you
Glad to be of assistance, homie
Here are some sample questions
So yeah… we have a president who is bragging about being able to draw a clock and tell you that trains and boats are both methods of transporting people. JFC we are so fucked.
