It's Dale Earnhardt and a couple other people

Tbf, a pun-based show with gratuitous fourth wall breaking is the kind of desperate I would actually love ๐Ÿ˜

Bad muzak I can handle. It's when they interrupt it every ten seconds to remind you that there's still the same number of people ahead of you that really gets my goat. And I need that goat!

Yeah because slogans always tell the whole story and middle eastern politics never mixes with religion ๐Ÿ™„

Also, even if it IS a group of religious nuts, does that make ALL of them terrorists?

Your anger is futile.

Aww it's cute that you think your bullshit is crafty enough to rile me up lol. My use of emphatic language is out of bafflement, not anger.

go look it up.

Nope. Not going to spend the time and effort looking up YOUR claim. YOU provide a source or stfu.

Btw, even IF it bizarrely turns out that the notoriously pro-business and anti-consumer conservatives were the ones who came up with it, that doesn't change the context and meaning which I'm using it.

That's not what astroturfing is... you should brush up on the term.

I literally defined the term for you. Unlike you, I'm fully aware of what it means. You're acting like Vizzini from The Princess Bride with his constant misuse of "inconceivable!"

It seems like you're going through some stuff

If by that you mean "wasting time and effort trying to talk sense into a Dunning Kruger poster boy", then yeah. I have bad impulse control that sometimes makes me keep answering when bad faith arguing idiots adress me directly even though I know it's a bad idea.

In conclusion: you started out with nonsense and if anything just got worse from there. Please leave me alone.

So much fucking stereotyping!

Houthis are a mostly political movement and the de facto government of the most populous parts of Yemen.

Saying "our action targets the Houthis and not the people of Yemen" is straight nonsense deliberately designed to paint the chosen government of most of the Yemeni people as identical to small groups of terrorists within the large movement.

It's straight out of the Dubya/Cheney/Rumsfeld playbook of manufacturing consent for war crimes.

I hope it's not the left one. I only had enough shaving cream left this morning to do the other two.

Quotes conservative media

The fuck I did! Conservatives didn't coin that nickname, progressives did! Progressives pointing out that he was suspiciously helpful to a major campaign donor to the detriment of regular people.

Since when has Joe Biden been marketed as a grassroots candidate?

Since every time they've portrayed him as just a regular middle class man of the people friend of union workers, none of which he actually is.

I'm genuinely worried about your critical thinking skills

Right back at you, shitlib. Have the day you deserve.

Nah, that was SENATOR Mullin on the senate floor having to be talked down by Bernie

[-] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 1 points 8 months ago

Says a lot about the political climate that not only were you able to ever forget about something so bizarre, but it's actually completely understandable!

[-] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I still think you're a conservative, just the kind that wears a Mao t-shirt instead of a Reagan one.

That would make me a tankie. Tankies are super authoritarian and I'm the opposite. That's one of the things I dislike about Biden, remember?

I tend to occupy a very wide field between European style Social Democrat to Left Libertarian bordering on anarchism, depending on the specific subject.

Always on the "no such thing as inherent authority" end of the axis where Biden's at the "cops are great" end, though.

Also go look up what astroturfing means

I'm well aware of campaigns disguising themselves as grassroots when in actuality some very rich people are behind it.

Ironically, every campaign of The Senator From MBNA has been more or less astroturfing.

Subheader:

The survival genre is a crowded one, but if I know anything about gamers it's that they love building bases and fighting hordes of zombies. So who could resist a game that does both?

I don't know about you, but that's NOT my definition of what makes any Fallout game great and I can EASILY resist another tower defense zombie game ๐Ÿ™„

A trainer I used to love back in the day used to be free/shareware but has since changed to an extremely stingy freemium model.

Any idea where I might look for the old version? I'd be more specific, but I'm not sure whether it would be against the requests rule..

Anybody know how to play pirated Windows games on Linux? I recently installed Lubuntu (22.04.2 Jammy Jellyfish) on my ancient laptop and all the guides I can find and trying out Lutris only seem to apply to "legit" copies bought from the official sources.

Is it even possible or will I have to do dualboot when I install Linux on my gaming desktop?

I recently took the toe dip of installing Lubuntu (22.04.2 LTS Jammy Jellyfish) on my old laptop.

I'm generally happy with how everything runs almost immeasurably better on it than with windows 10, but I have one significant issue: I can't for the life of me figure out how to make wireless internet work in it.

I can get online just fine plugging in my ethernet cable or doing USB tethering from my phone, but my phone doesn't have unlimited data and I sometimes leave my apartment, so it's not exactly ideal..

Anyone able to help or point me to someone/something that can?
