You know you're a farmer if you've ever cleaned yourself with dirt.

Consider donating to your local high-school's sharpshooting team. If there had been more spots open on one of these high-school clubs honing the skills, accuracy, and range of our nation's young people, this election would have been very different starting about 6 weeks ago.

Yes, I can't begin to express how much I love 5 cm of whitespace between every setting on Windows Settings pages.

Thanks, Microsoft.

You mean one of those 6 folders that I delete as soon as I start up a new install?

The things people did with mixing in the 70s and 80s were revolutionary, and a lot of the sound you hear today was invented in that time. Things like the drum sound in "In the Air Tonight" with compression gating has been used ever since.

I pirate because I know I won't have it eventually if I don't. Where I can, I donate directly to the creator instead of the worthless middlemen that are going to disappear next year and take my purchase with them.

Warm water Pacific lobster tastes pretty bad. I made the mistake of ordering it once thinking it was like northern Atlantic lobster. It is not.

For a lot of people, him stepping down wasn't on the table because of Genocide Joe, it was because he wasn't going to win the election against Trump no matter how much his supporters hoped.

But of course, on Lemmy, the Dump Joe camp was all painted by the same brush as naysayers that didn't understand that he was the only shining light that could save the election. That was proven wrong in several ways in the days since (though who knows what happens yet), but I would hope in retrospect that the people that were shitting on the many other people that wanted a change have figured out that they were plainly wrong.
