Bernie Sanders urges progressives to vote Democratic in November in c/politics@lemmy.world
A third so far! in c/workreform@lemmy.world
[–] 2 points 3 weeks ago

It's fine to muse about stuff like this online. In theory, the senate serves to shield the government from tidal shifts that happen too fast. Obviously, they are not doing their job now. But to put this as a main core tenet of your platforms is bat shit insane. The average American that is struggling to put food on the table doesn't have the mental load to evaluate these things and just looks at it and goes "what the fuck are you all on??!" and votes red. Goddam Subaru socialists out of touch with reality

    I can tell when people are Subaru socialists when they say stupid insane shit like "abolish the police is good policy". That is so insane and out of touch with reality I don't even know where to begin. It's fine to muse about the police state and Marxist leninist theory online, but this is how we get stupid shit like a Vance term

    Question About Virtual Machine under Linux for work (lemmy.world)
     

    Hi,

    I'm considering transitioning completely to Linux for my main workstation. However, due to the nature of my work I rely extensively on a few Autodesk products (namely AutoCAD, Revit) as well as Ms OneDrive to coordinate with clients. I did some research and these applications are not available natively and can't run through Wine. So I was thinking setting up a virtual machine with a windows image in order to run these two programs. They don't need extensive GPU. I was wondering if there are any obstacles / issues I should be aware if I chose to go this route? Thanks!

    40 Monkeys on the loose in SC after escaping research facility (www.theguardian.com)
     

    These monkeys went bananas: 40 monkeys escaped from a research facility in South Carolina, and local authorities on Wednesday warned residents to stay away.

    “Residents are strongly advised to keep doors and windows secured to prevent these animals from entering homes,” the Yemassee police department said on Facebook this week. “If you spot any of the escaped animals, please contact 911 immediately and refrain from approaching them.”

    The monkeys that absconded were from the Alpha Genesis research center, which bills itself as “primate research specialists”. Police said that they have set up traps around the area and are “utilizing thermal imaging cameras in an attempt to locate the animals”.

    Why is there a user base here that is so angry all the time? Genuine question. (lemmy.world)
     

    My experience on this platform has been mixed so far but one thing I've noticed the most is a significant contingent of the user base is really reactionary in their discourse.

    This is a very typical exchange I have here :

    User: I don't like this color because it's red.

    Me: I don't know, looks more like purple to me. What about red is bad?

    User: Why don't you fuck yourself in the face you fucking cuntfuck!

    Me: OK...

    Like, what gives? I don't have this experience on other platforms. I have arguments but never this shutdown meccanism.
