Great, I guess Trump will just be president and the war will go on anyway…

Yep they are still plenty dangerous and capable of fucking everything backward in time

shiftymccool@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•Google has replaced the Google Assistant app on Android with Gemini by defaultEnglish1·1 year agoAre you able to control phone functions with assist? I don’t use it mainly because I set voice timers a lot and wasn’t able to find a way to do it with assist.

Memory is compressed knowledge, intelligence is the ability to decompress and interpret that knowledge.

Trade schools are underrated and seem to be almost demonized in many places (my public school, for instance). They should be promoted more heavily

Can you imagine responding like “No! People are always talking about oranges! I’m sick of it and won’t try one!” Ridiculous…
Or, just don’t have those IDs by not having accounts. Nobody’s identifying me by my Facebook ID if I don’t have one. Simples
shiftymccool@lemm.eeto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How to set up Immich from the files within nextcloud?English5·1 year agoI toyed with this idea, but the directory structures are completely different, and they both keep their own databases. If one updates images, the other database will be out of sync. IMHO, it’s best to keep them separate

shiftymccool@lemm.eeto News@lemmy.world•Student loan borrowers skip payments: It's "an act of civil disobedience", 1 in 10 say they won't pay0·1 year agoSo is having a question and going out to find the answer yourself. I can only speak from a web dev perspective, but being able to answer your own questions via research is a huge skill and very useful in the workplace. It’s also a great way to get different opinions on how things should be done. Your professor isn’t always right
shiftymccool@lemm.eeto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Polish margarine for baking and frying.2·1 year agoThis is the truth, downvoters should be fucking ashamed. Her family didn’t think it was racist and protested her removal. Woke assholes made it happen and pat each other on the back for a job well done. Have some clue about what you’re protesting or get fucked SJWs!

Nobody today is selling a 9 year old car for $900 or the inflation equivalent unless it was turned into a cube at the scrap yard.
That’s a bit under $1800 by today’s rates and a 30 second search turned this up: https://indianapolis.craigslist.org/ctd/d/indianapolis-2006-ford-f150/7709051628.html
Cars are on average more expensive today, new or used. Gas is more expensive, and it’s likely more expensive to insure a young driver, which has always been expensive.
Put in the effort and you can find a good deal. I’ve done it before and I’ll do it again. Buying a new car is a scam, found that one out myself too. I also pay for the same gas and insurance so that’s moot
If they choose “don’t drive” over “pour much of what little money I have into propping up a falling apart beater,” that’s still a choice. Why rag on them for it?
Not ragging on the choice, I’m ragging on the rationale. “EverYtHinG iS sO 'sPensive” is just “I don’t want to be seen driving/living in/wearing that” in disguise. There are cheaper choices or ones that are more effort, but they are there.
I do get that prices are way out of control but I just saw a sign at McDonald’s for a starting wage of $15/hr. When I worked there, I made $4.25/hr which would be about $9/hr today. I bought my car to start working there so this shit is not impossible today.
Bring the downvotes z’ers, the truth hurts
This is more of a general response to all the “YeaH, cHooSe…” comments
