DuckDuckGo is ultimately just Bing though, which is what MrMakabar is complaining about

Only the silly parts of the UK. Some give education for free like a sensible place that gives a shit about its citizens.

Let the people who installed/created it maintain it or let a bunch of new folk do it, which is likely to work best?

The abroad part isn’t the issue. We’re a global village with the Internet now, after all. It’s the outsourcing part that’s the issue.

"You load 16 tons, what do you get?

Another day older and deeper in debt

St Peter, don’t you call me 'cause I can’t go

I owe my soul to the company store. "

The company store is slowly making its way back in vogue

Why even use precious metals at all? What is wrong with big stick?

“just”? Oh, well, when you put it like that.

No… salt? You must be getting salt from somewhere or you’d be dead

Join both?

I like alcohol. That doesn’t mean every bar should merge into one big bar. Sometimes, despite two identical themed bars serving the same drinks and having similar clientele, you can have a cracking time in one and a shit time in the other.

Sometimes, that’s due to the staff (or mods in terms of Lemmy), sometimes, that’s due to particularly fun customers being in that day, and sometimes it’s just your mood on the day.

Having multiple communities for the same topic is a feature, not a bug. It also prevents a community from being strangled by 1 or 2 bad mods as another community can be made in response. Unlike the Reddit model, where there is 1 community for 1 topic, and if it has bad mods, well, you’re shit out of luck.

That’s also where the term “fat cats” came from, to refer to the catipalist bosses

Calling what a Republic? Rome? There’s no other country implied in this meme, but I bet I know exactly which country you’re talking about…

Sadly his battery life is crap though. Doesn’t even last an evening before needing charged again

I want to get mad at your apathy, but really, it just makes me sad.

Of course it won’t be the end. In the same way climate disaster isn’t the end of the world, but it is the end of the world as we know it.

A fascist takeover of many of the most powerful countries in the world wouldn’t mean the end for all, but it does mean the end for whoever is deemed “other”. In the case of 1930s/40s Germany, that was political opponents, Jews, disabled, and LGBT people.

Today and in the future, who knows what arbitrary definition of a person will be chosen to make people “other”. It could be anything from traditional hate categories like race or sexuality to something new like length of hair.

I don’t know what kind of person you are but you clearly feel confident that you won’t be one of the ones on the receiving end of violence and the fact you think that’s okay because it’s not happening to you is so… depressing. If you don’t have a moral compass for the sake of others, at least try and have one for the sake of yourself because as fascism rears its head, whatever demographic you fall into may be next at the receiving end of the violence.

First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me

The problem with the beurocrats is that they take all their orders from the aristocats

What shit did they pull with their app?

Do you dry vape your concentrate soaked flower or smoke it? I’ve never smoked concentrate, but it sounds like it would be hella harsh on the throat

Yeah, that’s exactly the kinda thing I’ve poured it into!

The disposable cartridge it came in died so the atomiser must be burnt out in that one, but as far as I’m aware this one works.

Having left it overnight, it does appear to have mixed in with the e-liquid now, so hopefully you’re right and that’s all that’s needed. Got errands to do today so I can’t test it just now sadly.

So a difference of political opinion = toxic? Got it.

Obviously, being illegal in many places around the world this might be a bit difficult, but is there a book or something you learned all this from? I’m curious to learn more but don’t want my search history full of “how to grow pot”
