  • "I hope we're not going to need too many because I want to get them out, and I don't want them sitting in camp for the next 20 years."

    That's good to depend on identifying where they came from and getting some other country to take them. [Hint: most countries aren't going to want them.]

    Trump emphasized he'd act "absolutely within the confines of the law."

    🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    He seemed to reject economists' view that deporting millions of migrant agricultural workers could trigger a spike in the price of goods, saying, "No, because we're going to let people in, but we have to let them in legally. We don't want people to come in from jails."

    .... Hmm, that reads like he's going to take bribes from companies to bring in workers (maybe that $1B thing he was tweeting about covers this too), or even accept bribes from workers to come in.

    I'm also willing to bet that at some point he's just going to declare victory: of, yeah, we got enough of them, scared them off, the ones that are left are the "good ones", the bad ones have been reported except for some that the Democrats wouldn't let us deport even though they're very evil people but don't worry, you're not supporting them, we're having them work for their room and board."

    And the media will just report exactly what he claims with no fact-checking or pushback and his followers will believe him unreservedly.

  • What general price-range gift do you consider a "stocking stuffer" this year?

    Jump

  • I have a few levels for my gift-giving, like immediate family, close friends, coworkers, etc. I try to have all gifts within each level total to being within a dollar of each other. For me, "stocking stuffers" are the things I use to bring the total value for a person within range.

  • What's your hot take on the Marvel cinematic Universe?

    Jump

  • Some imaginary audience of post 40 wine aunts that also love marvel and pay for Disney+?

    Who do you think writes half the stuff on AO3? This audience actually exists, and is fairly sizeable.

    If it's not for you, that's fine. But a Marvel universe intended only for teenage boy nerds is pretty dull and repetitive; the MCU didn't get that big by aiming solely for them.

    And yeah, when you start gatekeeping, saying "those people don't exist" and "you don't belong here", maybe it is time to take a look at your prejudices.

  • Village People Singer Denies “Y.M.C.A.” Is a “Gay Anthem” As He Defends Trump’s Use of Song

  • Yeah, that's gay as fuck, especially for the late 70's / early 80's.

    Jump

  • The thing is, you're looking at it from 2024 eyes. 46 years ago, it was very definitely a gay video, especially when you throw in things that have been forgotten like the 1970's gay mustache. It wasn't really until Magnum PI that straight men reclaimed the mustache.

  • Thank you so much for this comment! It's allowed me to add you to my block list so that I never have to hear such incredibly idiotic reductionism again. Really, thank you.

  • You have a magic dollar that allows you to do one dollar's worth of anything. What are you doing with it? - (cross post from Asklemmy@lemmy.ml )

    Jump

  • You can save your magic dollars and become a magic millionaire/billionaire etc.

    One dollar a day is $365 per year. If I lived a hundred years and didn't spend anything, I'd have $36,500 (not counting leap years). I'd have to live 2,739 years to become a millionaire - I don't think I'm going to make it!

  • Someone suggested using it to identify things you only remember bits of or certain scenes from. I tried using it to find this YA book I read as a kid; it was not at all helpful, but did eventually lead me to do researching and finding the book elsewhere. (And it turns out the scene I was describing was exactly what happened, and the characters were named exactly what I thought they were, so that was born annoying at the time and frustrating later.)

    I also tried using it to find this really obscure, incredibly bad 1970s tv movie that I had vague recollections of. Again, the scene was pretty much what I remembered, it couldn't identify it, but I eventually found a site that lists the plots of old tv movies and I read through like 30 pages of movie synopses until I found the one I was looking for.

    I've also tried using it to find this 1980's interactive fiction game, but it's proved useless once again - and once again further research has identified a couple possibilities except I haven't had time to try to find the game and set up the right environment for it.

    So my experience has been that it's useless in finding the things I want it to find, but that in trying to persist against it may lead me to find what I'm looking for elsewhere.

  • What are some tools you need when starting to do basic DIY Mechanical work and possible home improvement in the future.

    Jump

  • I'd check to see if there's a tool library near you. After doing some work, you'll get a feel for what tools you're using most often, or that are frequently checked out of the library.
