Every single fucking time: THIS IS THE FUTURE UNDER COMMUSOCIALMARXISM!

endless pictures of current capitalism conditions, usually centered around homeless people

Yeah, it sure is a good thing we have capitalism to make sure that every person is taken care of and nobody gets fed to the orphan grinding machine.

But like.... Organize first.

Otherwise you're just a crazed lone gunman dead in the street.

I'm starting to think "Fascinating" is the universal translator's attempt at censoring Vulcans.

Its basically what all of them say when what they should probably be saying is "What the actual fuck is wrong with you?"

Sidenote: I absolutely cracked up in the episode of strange new worlds where Spock

If they all got their proper iron necktie, French revolution style, the only time they would be discussed is when you read another report that the lasting damage they caused has been repaired and the systems they tried to eradicate have been restored.

I'm tired, boss. Tired of bein' on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. I'm tired of never having me a buddy to be with, to tell me where we's going to or coming from, or why. Mostly, I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world every day. There's too much of it - it's like pieces of glass in my head, all the time. Can you understand?

He killed the with they love. That's how it is every day, all over the world.

The green mile is a fantastic movie that makes me bawl my eyes out every damn time.

Human: "We took the second warp core you helped us build and plugged it into the first one, just to see what would happen.... It blew up. But we got to do some pretty cool science in the process!"

Vulcan looking on in pure astonishment

Vulcan: "Fascinating. You were meant to place that in another ship, or study it for improving your own designs."

Human: "yeah, crazy huh... Can we have another?"

Vulcan: arches eyebrow "Very well."

I can go to my individual comments and check the scores, but I like that I can't see any cumulative score. I'm a sucker for "number go up" games.

Lemmy isn't a competition.

Well, I'm not a primary target, but if I see someone rolling up on my street trying to force people into a vehicle against their will, I'm definitely grabbing my rifle and preventing a kidnapping.

They may not be coming for me yet, but I sure as fuck am not waiting until they do.

Honestly I think they're just waiting for people to fight back so they can justify lethal force from then on, "as a precaution"

Person 1: "this thing isn't possible"

Person 2: it is, and I have experienced it myself.

Person 3: "yeah but here is a list of reasons I just made up why your experience doesn't matter"

The first comment was not saying "after long enough time certain drives do this/hardware degrades/won't run in modern machines", they were blanket stating "no storage lasts beyond 2-3 years"

no storage drive on the planet last more than two to three years

I'll tell that to the laptop HDD I pulled out of a laptop last month that hasn't turned on since 2018 and copied a large portion of the data so my mother can have old family photos she forgot to transfer.

I'm positive there are issues somewhere on it, since radiation is a thing and the HDD case isn't 6ft of lead. I just didn't encounter any with the 50-60gb I transferred.

On a long enough timescale, sure. But not a couple years for HDDs at least.

It happens. I've definitely read a sentence, took it the wrong way, and only after rereading it later on (usually when someone responds to my comment) that I was incorrect.

I don't see anyone shitting on younger generations.

All I see is someone expressing what many in the younger generation are feeling. Like everything the older generations faced is happening again. Like the world is on fire and everyone is pretending it's fine. And they're wondering why nobody is as concerned as they are.

In other words, "WTAF is going on?!?!"
