y’all fought a war over tea tariffs. y’all don’t even fucking drink tea. kids theses days are just tea-drinkers if yeuh ask me.

is it ironic that i’m now cheering for a well-established arm for US propaganda?

thanks for including that.

i picture the iconic flame tire trails, but at the last second they swerve into the oncoming lane

true horror is knowing you still have to upvote it

clearly you’ve yet to learn of schrodinger’s prisoner

i feel like saying “mark my words”, but i think tesla would probably end up on the top of the list of “most scammy products, given it’s price”.

He passed DeLorean quicker than John could look up from his line.

y’all know the plan, right? first, they eliminate all the bottom-fed workers. they try to “deport” them, but they can’t. so what else can they do? they put them in holding camps. but all that lettuce still needs pickin’. so who do you think starts to pick that lettuce?

we shall meet again under trump’s new “marshall law”

yup. it’s natural to see your foe’s foe as an ally. always be wary.

i was asking in good faith, and i can’t thank you enough for providing such a thorough and effective answer.

it almost sounds like bluesky is just a baby twitter in the making, and it’ll probably end up the same way. i’m really digging the actual fediverse thing, mainly because it seems to be one of the only places that money and vc bs hasn’t been able to touch.

holy crap, i did not see those doritos until you said that!

just off the top of my head:

• columbine
• oklahoma
• deepwater
• waco

i learned it a while ago, but i just can’t stop saying it today.

someone cited a snopes article, and i don’t think that’s what i’m talking about.

april 20 (or thereabouts) has been a pretty infamous date in american terror.

everyone else is talking about it like the government is going to do something. i’m saying the other. or at least it’ll look that way.

i’m just some asshole on the internet. i’m just taking all the time i’ve lived and all the things i’ve seen, and i’m projecting them forward to the weekend. and your lucky numbers are 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, and 42

thanks - you’ve got it. i forgot about mastadon. ironic, really, since it’s the resource that everyone will be scrambling for in a few days. mark my words: something horrible is going to happen this weekend, and it will change your life forever.

someone else said something that made me think i’m conflating Bluesky with Mastadon. and apparently “conflating” is my word of the day.

interesting! so i’m probably conflating my expectations for bluesky with lemmy, when all the while i should actually be on mastadon. i was starting to wonder if bluesky was just a new us dem party project :\

i think i’m conflating lemmy with bluesky. can’t anyone just host an instance? is it open-source? sorry, i should probably just look into this myself.

pardon my ignorance, but how is a de-centralized and de-federated online community bound to such annoyances?
