A long time ago I saw this conspiracy theory that the reason all public buildings (schools, etc.) in the US have an industrial size incinerator by law is to burn the bodies during a fascist takeover.

It was funny then. Not so much now.

It was deliberately hampered to produce poorly educated people who are easier to swindle.

Seem like people didn’t care enough about their future.

About the same here. (Finland)

Someone who is employed in a lab where they verify that the offal is edible is working intestine.

You’d be surprised. There are people who are willing to do those things.

Especially if you have city planning that actually works. Instead of what the US currently has.

When I was younger I used to have these dreams from time to time where some mundane unimportant things were happening. Like walking through the parking lot of my school with classmates to go to gym class. And then it would happen just as in the dream. They would happen some days, weeks sometimes years after these dreams. And I would remember the dream in that moment and think ‘deja vu’.

It’s been several years since I ran Windows on any of my laptops. And haven’t run into any CPU issues yet. In my experience if stay away from the slim models and go for the more high-end ones you’re good.

This. Don’t buy consumer laptops. You can get secondhand business laptops that are just as cheap and more durable. You won’t get one with a touchscreen but that’s about it for the downsides.

People will still consider it yelling even when you’re not actually doing it.

Do your own ironing! It’s quite easy. Heat the iron to the proper temperature. Not too hot. Use steam liberally. Use an ironing board and a sleave attachment. Turn your garment around so you can reach everywhere. Some creases are meant to be there. Make sure they are straight before ironing them.

If you wait until it hits the boiler, shit’s hot, yo!

I am really glad someone got it.

Thank you!

For me the chain is similar but longer.

Fidonet BBS’s -> Internet Newsgroups over NNTP -> Slashdot -> Digg -> Reddit -> Fediverse

For me it’s Russian invasion of Ukraine. With a few local politicians doing stupid things mixed in.

A succulent Chinese meal?

Which is exactly what their beloved Founding Fathers™ were trying to prevent.

Here’s a novel idea. Don’t use these exploitative services.
