Going to piggyback off your post with this comment.

Where can we get laptop (m.2) wifi cards that are supported by FOSS drivers? I’ve been having a hard time finding them anymore.

Free Luigi? 🙅

I avoid restaurants that require tipping. When I do have to tip, I give way too much if the service was good. IMO, good service is to not try to talk to me too much, and to be responsive to what I need done (refilling drinks, taking additional requests). Bonus tip if I know they’re overworked and handling it well.

15% floor. Throw an additional $10 sometimes. Always direct to the worker because these places steal tips. Also I tip cooks sometimes.

But I avoid going to these restaurants.

What if they just work 30 hour weeks for twice as many weeks?

Oh, I call it leaping. Quantum leap. It’s been almost 10 years. Decided to settle down and live out this life.

International Man of Warcrimes

Citations needed, comrade.

I re-read it that way and I agree. The sudden realization that he was in a class for windshield wipers, attended by actual windshield wipers was quite funny and the point (not belonging) was still conveyed, IMO.

I care, you care, and many of us here on lemmy care. We should work on how to coordinate ourselves together rather than try to change minds.

I’ve tried, a lot, to change minds. I started with the most difficult person, and recently a new hire at work is kinda centrist-left and I tried to convince him. No matter whether it’s a nazi you’re talking to (ahem… the first one) or a liberal, minds can only change themselves. They have to want it, you cannot hack their brain and override it.

I gave up, because even the people who are closest to me politically seem to move further to the right when faced with uncomfortable reality. They don’t engage with icky thoughts like “What if police killed an innocent man?”. They rationalize it to keep their comfort zone intact. “Well, if they just followed police instructions…” blissfully unaware of many cases like Daniel Shaver.

You point to an example that breaks their rationalization, and they will diminish it. “Oh that cop made a mistake”. Point to many examples and they suddenly got to go wash their hair. People’s psyche protects them from stress.

And that is the default mindset in this society. Avoidance of discomfort and inconvenience. Fear of the unknown. They want their life to be neat and happy and to all make sense. They don’t appreciate it when someone tries to take that away from them.

Do you think there’s something about people like us that makes us more accepting of challenging our own worldviews? I have some thoughts but I’ve written enough.

You do you.

Where do you go when TAILS doesn’t feel safe anymore?

Sorry, I don’t know anyone who uses WhatsApp.

(This is a lie, for comedy, sometimes known as a joke when not explained, but it has to be explained, because there’s a preponderance of idiots on the internet, hence the meme)

I actually didn’t expect that! Thanks for trying that for me.

Thank you for engaging in good faith.

Ask it about the Kent State massacre

“We accept these people, but we will no longer do business with the US” would have been nicer.

The coup would come swiftly after that…

Do to the US what the US did to cuba? That would be so cruel.

My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

Guantanamo Bay. Abu Ghraib. Proved to me that we were the baddies back in 2002. This is not a revelation.
