I’m still not clear how post 1950 governments, especially the united states, never made any effort at all in creating underground cities.

The ONLY reason we haven’t paid for it, is because the USSR wasn’t actually dumb enough to start the nuclear war. Because there were times where we sure were.

But in any event, if you put a city 2 miles underground, you can bomb the fuck out of the surface. It’s just grass.

Obviously you can’t make the whole country underground, but you could make individual cities. Concentrated pockets of people, all safe from all bombs.

Although, if we transitioned 100% to that model in the 1950s, covid in 2020 may have been 10000x worse.

So, you take the good, you take the bad, you put them together, and what do you get? The facts of life. The facts of life.

Oh yeah? Well I live in Cleveland! Here’s some chocolate, because we have the better food! Not to mention the romanburger!

When you get your measles vaccines, the nurse says you’ll “feel a little prick”.

THAT’S NOT WHAT SHE MEANT!!!

I’ve been here 2 years, and this is the first I’m hearing of this.

…ok, I honestly can’t tell if you’re in on the joke, or if you’re being a nutjob.

IDK that just doesn’t seem important.

I’m fine leaving my old account behind.

Then we have different viewpoints. I’m very much NOT ok with leaving my old account behind.

If AI hadn’t banned me on reddit, I’d be much happier over there. I’d have my old account, and all my post history going back 10 years. Which by this point would be more like 12 or 13 years.

It’s not important to you, but it’s important to me. Just because youhave an opinion doesn’t make it “the right way”. Everyone can have different opinions, and thats ok.

Literally 3 months after I got here, and started figuring out how the fediverse worked, I was calling for changes. Quite frankly, what I thought the fediverse was is a lot cooler than what it actually is.

I can post a picture here from pixelfed, but it’s no different than posting a picture from imgur.

So the account history is all I have to look back at.

But your upvotes and comment history don’t.

Reddit refused access to API, and people left reddit.

Lemmy.world is refusing access to the pirate instances.

By your logic, people should leave Lemmy.

Ok everybody. You heard them! Everybody talk about discuss.tchncs.de! Let’s ALL form opinions and talk at length about them!

Unclear if AI bot, or insane person having a stroke.

People want access to the defederated instances, on lemmy.world.

People don’t want to switch.

Because nothing has changed?

You realize google owns youtube, right?

These people writing these stories are probably ultra rich, and go to fine dining resteraunts. They probably pay $300 a meal for what you or I might pay $11 at the grocery store.

Then they think if THEY paid $300, then surely the non-privilaged must be paying $600. And they’re doing it several times a week! Such splurge!

Meanwhile we could buy these things every day for a month for what they pay for 1 meal. And the quality realistically can’t be all that much different. They probably assume they’re eating a chicken thats twice as good, at half the cost.

But they don’t know who we are! Say that name! Say it loud!!!

LEEEEEEEROOOOOYYYYYY

JEEEEEEEEENNNKKKKIIIIINNNNNSSSS!!!

Least we got chicken…

Brainwashed people do be like “Yes master” without fail.

That can’t be true. Licking a stamp can’t be much different than licking a boot.

I think it’s more likely that they’re illiterate. Mailing a letter requires you to write the destination address. Something they can’t figure out.

Get a box. A bunch of boxes. Walk to the first thing you see. Pick it up. Ask yourself two questions.

1. Have I used this in the past 5 years?

2. Will I use it in the next 5 years?

If you answered no, put it in the box.

Now repeat. Over and over and over. With every single item in the house.

When you’re done, take the boxes to goodwill.

Now do this same process every 5 years. And when you’re buying a new thing, ask yourself: "Do I really want this thing in my house, and add to the next roundup?

You may find you buy less things, just because your cleanup every 5 years takes too long.

This is what people don’t get about the world around them. Everybody likes to point at laugh at WWE and say “THAT SHIT IS SOOOOOO FAKE!!!” as if it’s audience is unaware.

I like to point at the government and say WWE is more real than the fake shit called “politics”. The difference is, most people think politics is real.

Just like how people in the early 2000s people thought Paris Hilton was a dumb blond bimbo. She went to HARVARD!!! But she played a character of a dumb blonde bimbo on tv. So now people think it’s real.

Humans are dumb.

Unclear if you’re holding a midget hostage, or are a parent. In either case, the drugs are problematic. Although for entirely different reasons depending on the answer.
