Hell, I've had trouble believing it while living through it.

Last time it was this bad, the 17th Amendment was added. Sure would be nice if they could think of a new amendment to address the modern take on the problem. It's hard enough for the idiots in congress to pass basic money bills, so I don't really expect anything to happen. I hope I'm surprised.

I wish people would reply to the quote with a show ID. I think I got about 5% of the references.

You aren't practically guaranteed to have life changing injury from skydiving, drinking, or eating. Several studies have shown that over 90% of football players have CTE. It's not the same, and not a question of moderation.

Republicans hate the Constitution because they hate democracy. So much of their efforts are thrown at suppressing voting.

Anything that diminishes the power of the party is a good thing. It's no surprise that party elites don't like losing their power. Fuck 'em.

I hope they give them retail pay for that 8 hour shift as well. Of course they wouldn't let a retail worker take an 8 hour shift in the offices, but that would be a little interesting. Either way, more companies should do this type of thing.

I don't know who y'all hang out with, but my friends for decades have given each other shit for anything we can possibly think of. It's a form of male bonding.

I understand the progressive wing’s frustration with the slow pace of change within the Democratic Party. Unfortunately, such massive shifts in public opinion and policy can take longer than one wishes.
Oh, the public opinion has shifted. Has been shifted for years. It's the party that can't seem to shift.

You aren't allowed to criticize Hamas and Hezbollah on here. Only IDF. Or actually all of Israel. Unless you are some Iranian-backing anti-Zionist, you get downvoted. It's too bad what has happened to discourse on Lemmy that people aren't even willing to contemplate the actions of all parties involved.

Ignorance of the causes is a voice of support for terrorists. I'm digging your logic as well.

Yep, as I keep saying, and keep getting downvoted in this bs echo chamber of Iranian talking points, both sides are fucking awful and that isn't going to change.

"trump is the worst. He has no ideas, he's just an awful, bigotted, racist piece of shit. Nobody likes him."
"Oh. Who are you going to vote for?"
"...I guess I have to vote for trump."
What a time to be alive.

Report about the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post — * 26 Articles in the week following Smith's indictment of Trump for his **attempted coup** * 100 Articles — nearly 4 times as many — that mentioned Clinton’s server in the week after then-FBI Director James Comey’s notorious October 28, 2016, letter on new developments in that probe-- The US media has learned nothing and is doing a disservice to American voters.
Nothing much to say other than I had to drive down PCH today and it would have been a better idea to drive around back bay. So many deplorable magats waving their stupid flags, driving in circles. I showed my support by yelling "We love proven rapists who are convicted felons!!" at them when stopped. It's just so embarrassing seeing these anti-democratic, anti-Constitution morons in my city/county/state/country.
The only one I've found is [this one](https://github.com/Zetaphor/lemmy-keyword-filter), but it doesn't work. It only triggers if I open the keyword interface and save it after every page load. I don't know enough to fix it.
Any advice for a regular smart 27 year old youngster, who has chronically underachieved and is motivated to turn their life around. They have a couple years of JC completed, and has no idea what path to take, or really what paths exist. EDIT: OK, I see I gave slim pickins here. It's not me, it's my neighbor's kid. I've known his parents since before he was born. He's a super smart kid, but like a lot of smart kids, he got kind of jaded about...well, everything. I was visiting the other day and he asked me for advice, and my retired ass has nothing. Any relevant personal experience I may have, became dated years ago. He's good at just about all subjects. His longest lifelong hobby has been video games. He took a few programming classes and liked it, but the thought of doing it full time as a career would quickly become torture. He's kind of half-assed things and just realized he needs to get his shit straight. He was thinking something like finance, just numbers. Something solid that's just a *career* direction. He is going back to school, well most likely he is, but he needs an idea of what path to take. Most of his friends are unemployed/underemployed with computer degrees.

My ISP seems to be throttling my VPN connection. Just started a week or so ago. Anyone have any tips for correcting this shit? Edit: Sorry, I didn't leave much info. I guess I was thinking in more general terms. I use PIA, have for years. I've tried to change protocols and ports, my VPN speed still sits around 10K. Just ridiculous. Speed test without VPN:  SOLVED!! OK, I'm an absolute idiot. The tl;dr I had accidentally toggled the **Toggle Alt. Rate Limits** setting. Thank you everyone for attempting to help that which couldn't be helped!
I read Kim's *Mars* trilogy years ago and liked it. I decided to pick up *The Ministry of the Future* a couple days ago. It's very different, and without any spoilers, I have to say it's made me hate humanity even more than I already did. If you haven't read it, it's a near-future climate disaster book. Well written, interesting structure, and just pissing me off. I'm about halfway through it, so maybe it'll swing the other way in the second half.
My mom has a hole in the ground that she puts her clothes drying hanger in. Like [this](https://assets.leevalley.com/Size4/10061/01S1758-folding-clothes-dryer-u-01-r.jpg). The hole in the ground is a 2" or so pipe, set in concrete. The pipe has filled with gravel. Anyone have a tip on getting the rocks out? I can only get so many out using my fingers and then trying to use a set of chopsticks.
I put a little on Ngannou, but I think Fury will just toy with him before finishing Ngannou off. Heavyweights though, you never know.

This seems far more serious than the typical lobbing explosives at each other in which Hamas and Israel habitually partake.
OK, this is dumb, but it's gone through my head a couple times. I've seen a few science fiction movies and [shows](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0l2mEmpBSA) where the people in the spaceship use a [gravity assist](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_assist) and lean into the turns like they're driving NASCAR or riding a roller coaster. I think they wouldn't feel the acceleration (vector change) because gravity is doing the acceleration on every molecule and there would be nothing to lean against. I'm often wrong though. Someone smarter than I am have some insight? EDIT: For what it's worth, I guess I shouldn't have used the Expanse clip as it upset some people. I just used it for an example of what I was asking. The question is this: Under little or no thrusters, would you feel a gravity assist? Even a radical one that changes your direction 90 degrees and greatly increases your velocity?
