  • How do y'all feel joy without alcohol or weed?

  • Smelly is, as far as I know, still sober. As is Hefe. I think Melvin is still using occasionally, and Mike does what the winds advise.

    Book is fantastic. The audiobook is hard to get through because they narrate it themselves, and it really drives home how much at odds they have been for a while now. There’s what’s not said in the inflection of their voices that makes it hit different than reading it did.

  • The irony of those lyrics being that the reason NOFX aren’t touring anymore is because Mike can’t do it without being really high and super drunk.

    But completely agree with you on music being an avenue for op to explore.

  • You’re right, and your take is more nuanced. A huge thing about it being a private company is that they aren’t required to disclose who has ownership stakes, performance against revenue targets, etc. Ostensibly, anyone who isn’t on the inside, and even employees who aren’t privy to management decisions, will be met with more or less a black box about the company’s drivers.

  • And yet the article closes with a farmer saying he’d vote for Trump again, despite the destruction of his labor force and the damage to his livelihood. The cultists are sick.

  • Many things aren’t important. Life isn’t about strict necessity.

  • The evidence doesn’t support the outsized FUD. Firearms in general are dangerous. A $500 novelty that very few gun owners will ever purchase or install isn’t a serious safety concern. Seemingly only one instance of one being used in a shooting in Fargo in 2023. That situation was tragic, and the police who responded likely prevented the shooter from committing a larger and more destructive attack. But the fact remains that these things are novelties or gimmicks. They make shooting the gun worse in nearly every way, and have extremely limited practical application.

  • This alarmist and factually dubious fear mongering is part of what is hurting the Democrats and the left in the US. Binary triggers do not turn a firearm into a “fully automatic machine gun”. What they do is cause the gun to fire on both the trigger pull and the trigger reset. This allows the shooter to fire very quickly, but not as fast as a true automatic weapon. Machine gun, and assault rifle both have specific legal definitions that hinge on the firearm firing multiple rounds with one trigger action. A standard trigger has two actions for every trigger pull - the pull and the reset. This is why these devices are technically legal. It’s also why bump stocks are legal.

    It’s splitting hairs and is pedantic, but the tilted and inaccurate narrative only serves to disenfranchise people who lean left but also enjoy firearms.

    All that said - restricting access to this vaccine is asinine and needlessly dangerous. To your point, we paid for this medicine with our taxes, our isolation, and unfortunately with many lives. Fuck this administration and the spineless republicans who enable them to trample on our rights.

    Trump hangs a copy of Declaration of Independence in Oval Office

  • The letters look pretty, but he never learned how to read. He’d be pretty upset if he could, though, so probably for the best.

  • Agreed. But I think it’s evident even in these threads why companies are slow to adopt. Lemmy is still a niche corner of the internet predominantly used by technology savvy people, and yet you see folks here saying that they hate the inconvenience of it. Less tech adept users are more likely to dislike the additional friction.

  • In today’s world, MFA (multifactor authentication) is a necessity for literally any account in which you store information you don’t want to be stolen by someone. I’m more upset that several services I use still don’t support it, or only support MFA via text or email, neither of which is secure enough to be of much use.

    You don’t want the place where you store your passwords, likely including your bank account, health insurance, social media accounts, etc. to be more difficult to hack? You live in a post-quantum world. Passwords aren’t enough.

  • Trump transition team has fleshed out its plan to destroy the US EV market

    Jump

  • Yes, but Trumps policies will only benefit Tesla both in the US and abroad. This news isn’t relevant outside of the US, where more than 50% of EVs sold in America are Teslas.

    Your point is valid, but irrelevant.
