Refugee from another, less-friendly instance. Please forgive the youth of my account— I’ve actually been around here for a while. Still, glad to be here!

  • AIDS is not a simple disease, but a constellation of effects and ills. It can provoke cancer (so can the meds), and it can also provoke early-onset Alzheimer’s.

    It’s much worse than either.

  • And it’s extremely disturbing as to how far the Overton window has shifted to the right when compared to that crazy.

  • Yes, capitalism is horrible bullshit that we all must suffer through (for now). No argument there.

    I mentioned this elsewhere, but I believe that within the next decade, car companies are just going to have to deal with the fact that a lot of very intelligent (and independent) software developers are able to work around their proprietary crap. Currently, they’re fighting it rather a lot, but that fight can only be sustained for so long before it becomes unprofitable for the corporations.

  • Having witnessed so many friends and a boyfriend die from this disease over the past few decades, I must say— you know nothing of how horrific this disease is. To live through or to witness.

    The only reason it is, now, a survivable disease is nothing short of medical miracles— but it is particularly offensive to downplay - or even to equivocate - on its horrors. Keep in mind that the vast majority of those with HIV/AIDS cannot afford effective treatment to mitigate the disease, and, thusly, will die horribly from it.

    We should always check our privilege. Not everyone in this world will ever get modern medical care. It’s something we all must work towards.

  • With great effort, I imagine. A pumpkin is also a squash.

    Pumpkins are cool

  • That is the colloquial definition. The scientific definition of a berry differs a bit.

  • Sadly, the only ones who will listen are the ones who already believe him. The ones that need to hear it the most have already been programmed to ignore this type of criticism. Even more are thrilled to hear that Trump is a fascist, because that’s what they want.

  • I give it another 10 years before car makers just fucking give up on fighting this kind of thing.

    It’s gonna be a rough 10 years though

    Sometimes I forget how many younger people are here on lemmy, and all you kids may not get the older references.

    Sad to say, but the Republicans have been absolute fuckfaces since the Nixon administration.

  • AIDS. For such a devout and pernicious homophobe, he turned out to be gay, himself. And, fucking around with other men - without condoms in the 80s - was a terribly reckless practice. Of course, Roy Cohen could never imagine it happening to him, yet it did. It was his final indignity, and one of the most amazing forms of irony in practice in recent history.

  • As the user experience designer, this “singing“ of electronics, and other such devices has been prevalent for the last decade or so. It’s an attempt to humanize the electronic devices we interact with every day. I question its effectiveness or validity, but, nonetheless, it has become extremely popular in both the medical device field and the field of home appliances. Buying an LG or a Samsung appliance, and it will, very annoyingly, play little songs when it’s done doing whatever it does.

    I find this a particularly interesting emergent cultural application of anthropomorphism to everyday objects. I wonder how it will progress over the next decade or so.

  • When I think of Roger Stone, I think of the ignominiousness of Roy Cohn, and the especially ironic (and very horrible) way he died.

    Sadly, as much as I hate Roger Stone, I cannot wish that upon him. However, I do hope he does meet at least an equal amount of irony in his demise.

    Edit: for the curious, check out Angels in America. Be prepared to cry.

  • You’ve mistaken your well-practiced trolling with being correct.

    Again.

  • Correct.

    This might make for a good allegory for how water isn’t wet. Strange that I hadn’t considered this before, but thanks for bringing it up!
