Yeah, this just allows people to know that their content is really from the US government. Not verifying them seems like a worse alternative for everyone.

They have bonkers profit margins too. 38% in 2023. They’re in the same category as Microsoft or Google when it comes to profitability. Absolutely insane for a company that’s supposed to disseminate scientific information.

I mean more or less. This is one of the top posts on r/conservative rn

I think it’s a little kid asking if Minecraft on Xbox could be made free to keep for 5 days as a promotion. Probably just can’t afford it because he’s 10 and barely knows how to spell lol.

Hex bugs were my shit. Each one was unique not because of the patterns, but because of tiny manufacturing tolerances changing their movements, and I thought that was cool as fuck.

Yeah, they’re still useful points of knowledge though. Wholistic education is important to teach kids how the world works.

They still exist and will continue to exist in many contexts indefinitely, such as men’s fashion and clock towers, so there it’s not like they’ll ever be “obsolete” per se. They are also extremely easy to learn, and are a good way to teach concepts like spatial reasoning and gears to kids. I think schools should teach about them for those reasons.

This, I don’t have time for breakfast almost any day of the week, including weekends.

Abysmal take. Chocolate ice cream with frozen peanut butter swirled in is proof that god loves us.

Media piracy is always a great backup option for when corpos get too greedy

It’s not racist to take issur with illegal immigration.

It’s just not right to oppose the immigrants as people, or say that their situation is the result of some moral failing. These people make the best decisions for themselves and their families.

It becomes racist when you start attributing characteristics or behaviors to their race as fundamental attributes.

It definitely doesn’t for me, I always just thought it was a skill issue though. Good to know I’m not alone lol.

On Lemmy, everyone will say AMD. On the rest of the net most people will probably say Intel+Nvidia. Difference is just the software that’s available. I would go with the AMD one personally.

This is like every horror video on YouTube. Regardless of the quality, the comments are 90% glazing how scary it is.

Bitcoin is probably one of the worse options for regular transactions imho

It extremely is, unfortunately the whole space is still unregulated and 99.9% of coins are just vehicles for speculation and serve no real use as a financial product due to transaction speeds and fees.

My issue wasn’t getting pre-approved, it was being able to actually afford the mortgage amount I was pre-approved for. A lot of these companies don’t give a damn if you can actually afford the mortgages they offer, because they know you’ll either figure it out or go homeless trying.

Trailer dropped recently, yeah

Home office!!!

I’ve also never been in a relationship that totally satisfied my sex drive, so I feel this a lot. My fiance used to be very sexual like me, but then she went on antidepressants and that was kinda killed. Now, she’s off then again, but her sex drive never rebounded, even though she thinks I’m more attractive now that I’ve been working out and gained muscle. Just sad to be jerking off in the office or bathroom every day instead of being intimate with someone you love because they don’t want to have sex with you 🫤

I don’t blame her or anything, it just hurts my soul a bit. Her sex drive is so low now that I feel guilty and anxious even asking, because I know she’ll either reject it outright or just tolerate it if she really wants to make me happy that day, which kills it for me.

I’d say we only really have sex where we’re both equally enjoying it maybe once every few weeks to once a month. If her drive were the same as mine, that would be once or twice a day. Just a shitty situation for me.
