Mr anti climate change says not to worry when it benefits him.

Fuck bill gates, fucking nepo-baby

Phegan ,

This box gives hello my fellow boomers

Phegan ,

Based on the names I know on this list, I am super excited to check out the ones I don't. Thanks!

Also check out miniminuteman too. Good pseudoscience/conspiracy theory debunking.

Phegan ,

Don't you know that you can't say anything on the Internet unless it's explicit and literal.

/s

Phegan ,

I can't wait until this game is released

Phegan ,

They shouldn't do anything like that, or slash their tires, or put a brick through their windshield.

Phegan ,

Real alpha males don't exist. The study on wolves having alphas have been proven wrong my most.othet subsequent studies.

Phegan ,

They also found in other chimpanzees that alphas don't exist. I think we are both in agreement that it's a stupid construct to apply to humans though.

Phegan ,

When Nazi Germany occupied France, it was known as Vichy France.

Phegan ,

What, are we 80 years old here. Posting Facebook memes mad the damn kids are always on their damn phones?

I am a travel and outdoors enthusiast, I love being outside and experiencing a new city or the wilderness, but also, phones are powerful technology that allow us to find directions or look up where to go.

The real issue isn't that we are using it, it's that they are being used to collect and sell our data for advertising, that algorithms are designed to keep us on our phone instead of experiencing the world.

It's boomer shit to post this meme and be like, society bad, people on phones.

Phegan ,

I've hit 700 tonight and still have another 200 in my current playthrough

Phegan ,

They likely also think the US beat the far right because trump lost in 2020. WE DID IT! FASCISM IS OVER.

Phegan ,

Then let them die.

Phegan ,

Supporting artists directly via bandcamp and other options.

If you can't support artists directly, and would have to buy physical media which supports the record label and not the artist...pirate.

Phegan ,

I use Linux for work and windows for home. I will be swapping to Linux full time when win10 eol

Spotify is raising the cost of Premium subscriptions, again (www.engadget.com)

Spotify is officially raising its Premium subscription rates in the US come July, following reports of the move in April. The platform is increasing its Individual plan from $11 to $12 monthly and its Duo plan from $15 to $17 monthly — the same jump as last year's $1 and $2 price hikes, respectively. However, its Family plan...

I tried tidal for a bit, but ran into a number of issues with the various privacy methods I used and the lack of a Linux native client made it difficult to justify staying.

I am currently running a navidrome server and supporting artists directly for their music where possible.

Phegan ,

It blows my mind that these companies think AI is good as an informative resource. The whole point of generative text AIs is the make things up based on its training data. It doesn't learn, it generates. It's all made up, yet they want to slap it on a search engine like it provides factual information.

Phegan ,

Firefox is a good option.

But I will raise people one more. Waterfox. Been using it for over a year now and enjoy it.

Phegan ,

If people actually followed the teachings of Jesus, it would be a very difficult world. Christianity is supposed to be socialist as fuck.

Phegan ,

We have to all work together to give those consequences. Workers need to act as a united force to push back against the ruling class. Checking out hurt the movement. Help us show them the consequences.

Phegan ,

You can download YouTube videos via yt-dlp and add them to a jellyfin server. If you'd want to watch them without ads and off of Google.

Phegan ,

I've seen multiple instances of driving being mad that they are in traffic while bikes or buses zoom by.

If they weren't so infected with car brain, the easiest solution is to leverage one or both of those transportation methods that zoom by you.

Phegan ,

First of all, that makes sense, as if the media is saying two things that conflict with another, praise the one that is backed up by urban studies and the other IS spin

Second of all, a large section of media is paid ads in disguise.

I would recommend upping your media literacy as it helps you distinguish between spin and not spin.

Phegan ,

Those who work at this company should all no show simultaneously and see how it does.

Phegan ,

Millennials were called the participation trophy generation. At that time we were children. I would like to point out that SOMEONE was giving them to us. We didn't ask for them, SOMEONE felt the need to give them to us.

Boomers, you can't give us trophies and then complain that we got them.

Phegan ,

We should abandon self driving cars and instead make the roads more safe and provide multi modal transportation options like trains.

Phegan ,

Gotta prove that I am more left than every one else. /s

Aarrr (lemmy.world)

4 panel comic by War and Peas. 1. Panel shows two pirates, the first pirate speaks "Captain, our rivals have been calling us names again." 2. Panel: The pirate continues, "They said we were a bunch of handicaps." 3. Panel: The captain himself says, "That's ableism! And we don't tolerate that kind of talk here". 4.Panel: The ship...

Phegan ,

Is this a boomer comic? Is this mocking inclusivity, or is it just not funny...or both.

Phegan ,

How a guy can go his entire life as a virgin.

Phegan ,

You are underestimating christo-fascists and their desire for ultra traditional gender roles.

Phegan ,

Maybe? There is a large portion of christo-fascists who actually believe much of that. I am certainly not so naive that I am ruling out satire, but I would also be remiss not to consider that it's actually real and posted by an outright garbage human.

Women's Hockey - A place to discuss about women’s ice hockey, including, but in no way limited to: PWHL, Women’s Olympic Hockey, etc

With the North America's PWHL kicking off its first finals, with Game 1 being tonight, I wanted to create a community for discussion of all women's hockey, not just for the PWHL but for anything and everything related to women's ice hockey....

Phegan ,

It's perceived as degrading due to the societal stigma that has been created against it. If it's between consenting adults, there is nothing degrading about it. Don't degrade people for any choice that is not harming another individual. We've created a prudish society where we look at anything sex adjacent as someone we shouldn't talk about in public.

Phegan ,

I stopped drinking about five years ago, and I often can find a mocktail or two that I like on most menus

Phegan ,

Not to piss in the lemonade, but some places still have the divine right of kings.

Phegan ,

There is more to it than that. You may be able to be trained in a few hours, but mastery and efficiency come with time. Someone who works in retail or farming can output more productivity in a shorter amount of time than an average person. It's not about how long it takes to train someone to start the job, it's the mastery you learn over time. As you do a job longer, your productivity increases, as you move deeper and develop more skill at the job.

There is no such thing as unskilled labor.

Phegan ,

20-30 is too old for Leo to be concerned with.

Phegan ,

Conservatives are way more obsessed with gender politics than liberals or progressives

EA wants to place in-game ads in its full-price AAA games, again (www.techspot.com)

EA has tried this before, with predictable results. In 2020, EA Sports UFC 4 included full-screen ads for the Amazon Prime series The Boys that would appear during 'Replay' moments. These were absent from the game when it launched, with EA introducing the ads about a month later, thereby preventing them from being highlighted in...
