Hegar@fedia.ioto Technology@lemmy.world•‘Martyrdom or Bust:’ Texas Man Caught Plotting Terror Attack Through Roblox Chats29·14 days agoYeah it really stands out.
Either it’s a lie and feds installed a keylogger remotely after the tip off from the Roblox user mentioned, Or the “matyr” had behavior problematic enough that even their family were concerned.
Hegar@fedia.ioto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•The White House is paving over the Rose Garden with concrete39·14 days agoCosmetic injustices like this are an intentional distraction from the regime’s attempts to steal all public funds, kill Americans who need Medicaid, continue their ethnic cleansing campaign at home and support Israel and Russia’s ongoing genocides.
Hegar@fedia.ioto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•Monopoly Go is the highest-budget video game so far.241·15 days agoThis is extra funny because not only is the gameplay shit on purpose, it’s shit on purpose as a criticism of capitalism.
Monopoly is supposed to be frustrating as a reflection of how frustrating life is under capitalism, and here comes capitalism to sell an even more annoying version full of popups and money grabs.
The death of satire is a well with no end.
One time I was trying to work out if the people at the next table were Australian. It was a crowded cafe so I was having trouble hearing them.
Then luckily one of them said, “Aw fuck I was fucking fucked eh?” and removed all doubt.
Hegar@fedia.ioto You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK: Non-violent protests are 2x more likely to succeed and no non-violent movement that has involved more than 3.5% of a population has ever failed714·20 days agoIt’s also important to remember that non-violence serves the interest of entrenched power. The state is at its core a violence-control structure. When people excersize the power of violence in their own interests, the state must reassert it’s dominion or risk collapse.
Non-violent requests can be accommodated without elites feeling like their ill-gotten power is threatened. But it’s often the violent demands that scare them into doing so.
Hegar@fedia.ioto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do people think is fancy, but is actually tacky or trashy?4·23 days agoa unique quality to the feeling of it’s drive
I have to admit I’m skeptical, and not just because it sounds written by a marketing team.
Things like the subjective feeling of something are strongly socially determined. When we’re told something is fancy or high quality we have a different and better experience of that thing.
As humans it’s rarely possible to separate our experience of a thing from our judgements of the people and identities we associate with it.

Amateur flint knapper.
Hegar@fedia.ioto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If no government shall bare arms against its own citizens. Then what is happening in LA?62·26 days agoSecuring the resources to spend on communal projects that benefit the state is one of the many reasons that state employs violence against its citizens, yep.
Roads are a great example because across the world, major road projects were always built to speed up the military getting to and putting down rebellious provinces - bearing arms against their subjects.
All states are instruments of violence, that’s their sole function. Anything they do that makes our lives easier is just the velvet glove over that iron fist. It’s easy to pretend otherwise when the state hasn’t turned its violence on you yet.
Hegar@fedia.ioto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If no government shall bare arms against its own citizens. Then what is happening in LA?589·27 days agoBearing arms against it’s citizens is literally the entire point of a government. The state is just a monopoly on the legitimate use of violence. The only time a government is not bearing arms against it’s citizens is when the threat of bearing arms against it’s citizens is enough to get what it wants.
I’m sure you will be surprised to learn after reading that picture of success that I am barely even an achiever.

Hegar@fedia.ioto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's something about Microsoft Outlook that drives you crazy?7·29 days agoNot being able to unpin email chains unless you change it to non-threaded replies, select all, unpin, then go back to threaded replies like a civilized lifeform. Otherwise it just repins the chain when it refreshes.
Our office also uses teams phones which still don’t have a way to show missed calls. We literally cannot call people back if we don’t get to the med room phone in time.
Yes! House of reps is what I meant. Thank you.
There are some exceptions and it’s definitely not all they do, but attending to the interest of the powerful is their day-to-day work.
Senators accept bribes from various industries and wealthy individuals in order to block or advance legislation on their behalf.
Because a Senator’s electorate is the entire state, they are more likely to be servants of large state-wide industries like dairy in WI, oil & gas in TX, etc.
This is as opposed to the Congress, where the make-up of their specific district can alter which moneyed interests they benefit most from serving.
Every state has only 2 federal Senators, compared to a variable amount of congressional reps based on population. So individual Senators are generally considered more powerful.
I dunno, teenagers all smoke and they seem pretty on the ball.
Hegar@fedia.ioto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•The longer I look the less I can tell them apart1·1 month agothat face is a consequence, not a goal.
My understanding is that it is a goal. It’s not just a botched face job or over use of botox. People walk in and ask for a face like that.
It’s not the smoking of bare foot pets that’s prohibited in the building, that’s just silly. Bare foot pets just have to stay outside the building while smoking. And rightly so.
If your pot bellied pig tries to go indoors without putting on shoes or putting out his cigarello first, that’s on you for being a bad parent.
