One of the good things about lemmy is I can change the title, and “what ruled” is a pretty cool title so POOF, now its the title!

edit: Ok nvm it wont let me change the title

iirc, immediately after the video, the spear thrower approached the owner of the drone and offered to either pay for a replacement or repair.

Edit: yeah, pretty much exactly as I remembered it, https://www.rbth.com/blogs/viral_in_russia/2016/05/15/russian-knight-shoots-drone-out-the-sky-with-a-spear_592923 Original source

I remember bringing up possibly switching to linux to my IT manager at my previous job, I was told, and I quote:

I would love to, windows sends a lot of junk network traffic and that sometimes makes it hard to investigate shit, but I was told by corporate that people already know windows and we already paid for the licenses, so no.

That’s basically been my experience as well whenever I recommend linux over Windows to corpos, they can’t understand that there are valid reasons to switch, they are corporate and they know better than you, even when they know nothing about your field!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skáldskaparmál

(Was in an argument with one of those brain dead culture war idiots who genuinely thinks that the latest god of war game had ““gone woke”” with its depictions of Odin & Thor, almost anyone can tell you that GoW’s Thor depiction is mythological accurate, but right-wingers also apparently take issue with the depiction of Odin as a behind-the-scenes plotter instead of an uber-stronk war god. Odin in the mythology is repeatedly shown to plot, scheme, and lie, when I brought this up, they called me a slur and asked me to provide a single instance of Odin intentionally plotting. In Skáldskaparmál, one of the stories is how Odin stole poetry for the gods and humans, he does this by plotting and lying.)

Don’t forget the whole issue of the “(non sexual) drag acts are pedophilia” “being gay/trans/etc is child grooming” “Kissing someone of the same gender in a public space should be illegal” arguments that would allow conservatives to sterilize/chemically castrate anybody lgbtq or gender non-conforming due to the whole “Think of the children!!!” moral panic.

Hell this almost happened in Florida when they passed the bill that allowed forced chemical castration of people convicted of sexual battery, as well as that anti drag show bill which punished drag show performers with sexual misdemeanor charges, but also had a proposed amendment to change that to a sexual battery charge.

I’m pretty sure it’s a reference to this: youtube.com/watch?v=NlZzftmtGJY

I saw that thread, there were some extremely weird and gross responses, one person wrote like 6 paragraphs on how they couldn’t stop using it, with one of the reasons being they “liked the mouth feel”??? It’s baffling the lengths people will go to to justify saying a slur.

Yeah, but I wasn’t replying to the social democrat. I can only go through seeing anarchists and communists be called lib so many times before feeling like the word liberal has lost all meaning and it just becomes another abstract insult

to Those Leftists™, anyone thats left of them, right of them, or has identical political beliefs on everything except one issue are “libs”, its been thrown around so much on lemmy that it takes up the same part of my brain as “woke”, when I see someone use it unironically its generally safe to say I can ignore them.

There’s also the privilege of living in a location where vegan alternatives are readily and frequently available, vast swaths of the US are in what’s known as “food deserts”, locations where “residents’ access to affordable, healthy food options (especially fresh fruits and vegetables) is restricted or nonexistent due to the absence of grocery stores within convenient traveling distance” (https://foodispower.org/access-health/food-deserts/) these locations also tend to have high obesity or diabetes rates due to the fact that the only food easily and cheaply available is high in sugar. Add in things like the increased price for even simple vegan foods (like rice and beans) and you might be starting to see the picture, as much as some people would LIKE to be vegan it is literally not possible for them without either taking on substantial additional costs or completely upending their life.

A lot of the reason people who are otherwise pro-vegan (like myself) tend to dislike online vegans is that they will, consistently and smugly, while in a location and economic position where its easier to get vegan options, berate people for eating animal products without ever considering the possibility that its MUCH harder to get non-animal product based foods in certain areas

Yeah but its great! Best book game ive ever read!

The dude on the bottom commissioned various artists to draw characters buying wonderbread, eating wonderbread, attending a theme park dedicated to wonderbread, as well as other things involving wonderbread that I can’t quite remember, thus earning the moniker “Wonderbread dude”
