@dyckron I love that the fedi lets me hear Canadian reports of French accusations of Israeli interference in Scottish elections.

@stux I appreciate the love being shown to us by the Americans in this thread saying "do not walk across the freeway". It shows they care. But it's not really the point. We have freeways in our countries too, and people don't walk on them. But we also have bridges across those freeways because people should be able to get places on foot. Especially places where tens of thousands of people are all going to be leaving at once.

@skinnylatte I mean it seems awful, but only for people who want to go to the United States, so not that many people.

Find a job you enjoy doing and someone will build a trillion dollar planet-killing machine that doesn't actually do your job but somehow manages to suck all the joy out of it anyway.

@mathew @mitten @skinnylatte Haven't got that far into analyzing if it's even worth it.

@benroyce @NickSchwanck @paninid Democracy is one of the best tools for convincing people who didn't get their way that they should just keep trying to get more votes, rather than throwing bombs or building barricades.

@EricIndiana White settlers in the Americas have been separating children from their parents since before there was a USA. You'd just think after having fought a civil war over it there'd be more awareness that it's a fucking horrific thing to do.

@thomasfuchs Forty years ago last month I got my first software development job.
So it's about forty years and 30 days since I first heard someone say "... and we won't need programmers any more".

@ryanc I can pass for DNS but I have to wear BINDers.

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the duck lifestyle. I'm just saying the more you normalise it, the more turkeys are going to try it out.

@the Cannibalism is occasionally justified (shipwreck, plane crash up a mountain etc.)
There is no justification for Donald Trump.

@Lana The President of the United States was a regular client of the world's most notorious pedophile pimp.

@janhoglund I don't get why he's afraid. The Supreme Court won't let him be tried while he's in office. Congress can't impeach him for stuff he did before he was president. And he's clearly planning on leaving the White House in a coffin.

@ada We call them pūkeko over here.
They're born with what look like full sized feet. Evolution has a sense of humour, sometimes.

@RamenCatholic I can make beer. Have grown my own hops and cultivated yeast in the past but have never tried malting barley.

@noondlyt @djsundog @ai6yr If he hadn't returned it they'd have charged him with theft.
