i know it, but haven’t spoken it for a long time.


The long term is typically what happens to empires like Rome or Britain: a slow, whiny, unstable decline into obscurity until everyone eventually leaves.
Rome had so many civil wars, imperial overextension, political instability, famines, and an inability to cope with disasters, that by the time it fell, it hollowed out to like < 1% of its peak population.

Highly recommend everyone read yasha levine’s surveillance valley for a lot of the specifics on this, looking at the internet in particular.


True. I have a decent hand-one for $50, but they can get pretty expensive.


You must buy $1600 iphone to support failing US economy.
Please don’t look at all the alternatives that are 3 years ahead in tech and 1/3rd of the cost.


The smart ones know how to avoid the shit now. I’m not testing that out tho lol.


You can find these old / used / open box pretty cheap now.
I got a 2+ year old model that originally sold for like $1500 USD, for ~200.


The best pourover kits in existence cost like $25 USD max too. There’s no reason to not learn how to do it right.


Streaming subscriptions. I swear the average nowadays seems to be like 4 per person because ppl don’t know how to torrent anymore 


Got memory-holed by google, not much we can do about that (apologies for the orwellism)

You’ll need to be involved in development if you want to contribute that setting.


Every other lemmy app I can find right aligns action dropdowns and thumbnails, we were the outlier. Pics of all those other apps were linked in my PR.
I’m making lemmy-ui match jerboa more closely from now on, so that we can have a uniform UI standard that works better on mobile.


Part of the reason is that he didn’t just want to live a life of pleasure… he also wanted to revert to a state of blissful ignorance, and not know that the matrix was a fake reality.
That would go against the moral principles of the ship, whose main goal is to enlighten and bring awareness about the matrix. It would be immoral for them to erase his memory even if they could.
Cypher also was extremely selfish, secretly hated the crew, and had no qualms about selling them all out for his own benefit.


Globasa. A constructed language, but with most world language families represented, and a process that ensures new words meet a few other good criteria.
Barring that, toki pona.
You would accuse your grandmother defending herself from an attacker as a tankie.
Go for a walk (outside) every day. I used to try different posture exercises, running, sprinting interval training, but as you get older, nothing is healthier and easier on your body than just daily walks.
We kinda are walking machines anyway:
Bonus points for mental health if you walk in nature, without any headphones or entertainments.
Also do strength training (you can get hand barbells very cheap if you don’t have a gym close by), starting very light at first, and working up to whatever feels comfortable.
