Yeah, not a choice any of us who work in tech can make. But the small choices we CAN make do add up significantly.

Xulai@mander.xyzto politics @lemmy.world•‘I worked so damn hard’: Biden laments changes in U.S. since he left office - National956·4 days agoExactly, this.
But wait, there’s more…
Enabling a genocide- something all the candidates were going to do anyway- is deeply unpopular.
Supporting Israel at the expense of US citizens isn’t okay under any circumstances or leader. It is time to end this farce; the only folks who don’t listen are the ones being paid not to.

“Administration of Lies Has Official That Lies”
Amazon is already dead to us. Just like Tesla, Target, Starbucks, and Meta.
They will never be purchased from, or supported in any way- ever again.
Xulai@mander.xyzto politics @lemmy.world•The Ugliness of the ‘Big, Beautiful’ Bill, in Charts - The New York Times121·5 days agoThey aren’t bootlicking, they’re telling you the fucking truth and you are too thick skulled and poorly educated to understand it… proving their point.
US citizens elected Trump. They believed the blatant lies despite being told the truth.
That’s all there is to it.
We are genuinely so fucking stupid as a society that we (not me- citizens in general) voted to give up all our rights and enable a Hitler wanna be.
And we are too stupid to understand that all it would take is a couple hundred thousand of us marching into DC and guillotining every member of government that allowed this, then allowing the military to conduct new elections with stricter rules. This process is literally in our constitution. Second amendment.
Prevent public officials from lying by law, stop lobbying, stop allowing money to matter in politics (no candidate may spend money on advertising of any kind.)
Each candidate gets one hour on free, live television/streaming to present their campaign. If they lie at any point, they are immediately disqualified. Then there is one debate. Lies are immediately disqualifying from public office here, too.
That’s it. Simple as can be.
But US citizens are too stupid.

Xulai@mander.xyzto News@lemmy.world•Chuck E. Cheese launches new arcade concept for adults731·8 days agoSo they’re copying Dave and Busters by trying to become what they should have stayed to begin with.
Not gonna work. Dave and Busters is terrible.
But get some cool animatronic shows, .25 cent arcade games from the 80s- 90s, maybe even a few amusement center rides like the old Scandia centers had (go karts, suspended rides, bumper boats, mini golf). THAT would be worthwhile.
Xulai@mander.xyzto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Does the creator or the audience determine the meaning of a work of art?13·8 days agoIt is not an either / or question.
Everyone, from the creator to the audience, determines the meaning for themselves.
The subjective nature of art is the only truth about art.
The human tendency to copy others behavior also translates into this; when people lack strong feelings about a piece of art, they are more likely to defer to other’s interpretation. This doesn’t mean they share the interpretation, rather that being agreeable was more important to them in the interaction than sharing an honest opinion.
Xulai@mander.xyzto Political Discussion and Commentary@lemmy.world•Do you think Americans will be branded something like Nazi?English95·8 days agoThey already are. Americans are the stupid Nazis and Israelis are the actual Nazis.
The world hates both; the only reason you don’t see many coming forward is because Israel is paying off the world to ignore their crimes, while the world is just trying to wait out the Trump presidency in hopes that there will actually be a next election.
I think that hope is far fetched. I doubt we will see fair midterms. I genuinely think the USA is done. Balkanization is expected to occur shortly after the realization hits that the elections are all a sham. About 2-4 years from now.
I heard it is already happening in CA migrant camps. They’re selling the migrant labor and giving them only 1$ a day. It costs $5 to make one phone call.

Maybe ICE agents or firefighters working with them.
But not a sniper.

Xulai@mander.xyzto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Why is Lemmy attempting to radicalise people to enforce class wars?134·10 days agoIt doesn’t seem like you understand how to speak properly.
Pseudo intellectualism is when people present false or illogical statements as fact.
And right now, the only person doing that is you.
Xulai@mander.xyzto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Why is Lemmy attempting to radicalise people to enforce class wars?123·10 days agoSounds like a citizen or fed that is fat on propaganda swallowed whole and without thought is angry that others don’t share his delusions.
Xulai@mander.xyzto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What effective treatments existed for asthmatic organisms prior to the availabillity of contemporary standard treatments?4·10 days agoStimulants and steamy baths- but mostly stimulants. Most of them, including ADHD versions, work great for as a bronchodilator but have obvious downsides. A meth addiction is not a suitable substitute for asthma.
There was a time when I was too poor to afford asthma medication- I learned to self-calm and load up on caffeine. This allowed me to breathe enough to sleep without getting the low O2 anxieties but do little else until it passed. It did result in my only adult hospitalization when I got the flu on top of an asthma attack- caffeine couldn’t touch it, then.
