melsaskcato No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's the most offensive word I can use that isn't a slur?2·20 hours ago“Fargin Bastages”.
melsaskcato World News@lemmy.world•FBI boss Kash Patel gave New Zealand officials 3D-printed guns illegal to possess under local lawsEnglish3·20 hours agoSend that Worm-tongue back to from where he came, good people of New Zealand.
melsaskcato United Kingdom@feddit.uk•'Buy one, get one free' deals for unhealthy food banned in supermarketsEnglish3·20 hours agoThat always bugged me. How about half-price?
melsaskcato Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Florida schools will test armed drones this fall to thwart shootersEnglish7·20 hours agoOnce the drones are taken over by child-shooter hackers, ICBM launches against random schools will be used as a deterrent. Failing that all schools will be closed and the problem with “school shootings” will finally be solved! /s
melsaskcato UK Politics@feddit.uk•Starmer’s team are cancelling the passes of left-wing journalists mid-conference7·20 hours agoThat’s dangerous. I believe journalism should be apolitical and the truth is the goal, not the spin. Sometimes we get close but mostly it’s an ideal. There is nothing good that happens for the citizenry when a government tries to control the truth.
melsaskcato World News@lemmy.world•Trump returns to '51st state' rhetoric in speech to U.S. military officialsEnglish22·20 hours agoI can only hope the military is bound to the Constitution and not the old crazy, dangerous man.
melsaskcato Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Fear not, and enjoy this mere interlude to its fullest!3·20 hours agoI had nothing to lose before I was born. There is the difference.
melsaskcato News@lemmy.world•Members of Congress still get paid during a government shutdown11·20 hours agoThey should finally just amend that paper to say “Fuck the People” instead of “We the People”. The “People” no longer have any say and the ballot box is like Schrödinger’s Cat.
Trumps “tech bros” cannot keep the truth from the masses forever. The truth is slippery and always finds a way out, eventually. I hope that, in the near future, something is done about the power of subscribing and gross wealth accumulation for all of those “tech bros”. That power should always reside with the people although it’s currently in the hands of a bunch of adult middle-schoolers.
melsaskcato politics @lemmy.world•Right-Wingers Melt Down Over Bad Bunny Headlining the Super Bowl Halftime Show1·21 hours agoI love music and have listened to it all my life. Mostly current popular stuff. Over time I found that the music industry was becoming formulaic and no longer resonated with me. It seems it had lost it’s soul and was used more for marketing clothing lines or a “scent”. I still listen to new music, new for me anyway, but I find it in the past, before I was born. Lately I’ve been listening to Louis Prima non-stop. Man that guy had charisma, was funny, and he could sing and play that trumpet like nobody. I try to keep politics out of my music but there are great political songs as well. “Wanted Man” - Manhattan Transfer; “There is no Time” - Lou Reed, for example. I agree that there are always musical nuggets of gold to find in any generation, if you dig around a little. Reminds me of the Paul Simon line “Every generation throws a hero up the pop charts”. I have nothing against the new music, I just don’t pursue it anymore. All the best.
It seems that more shooters hate children than they do Mormons.
That guy did my taxes last year!
“My iphone battery died again!? I guess I’ll have to buy another new phone. Why does this keep happening?” /s
melsaskcato politics @lemmy.world•Right-Wingers Melt Down Over Bad Bunny Headlining the Super Bowl Halftime Show6·2 days agoNever heard of this guy until he hosted SNL. He was great and has a very good sense of humour. I liked him. Then, very recently, he showed up in Happy Gilmore 2 and again, he was great! I don’t listen to new music anymore so I can’t comment on that (I’m old and ignorant).
melsaskcato politics @lemmy.world•Trump threatens to shut down US government unless all trans health care is banned21·2 days agoTrump will do a thousand crazy things to deflect from his children rapes. Look here! Look there! Look up! Look down! Look left! What a maroon. A dangerous maroon. (Not a misspelling but a Bugs Bunny reference).
I’ll give that a shot. Thanks!
Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky. The horror is a planned murder, the psychological part is how the murderer goes slowly crazy once the guilt sets in.
melsaskcato No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Not to get all religiony but why in the old testament God was all fire and brimstone and fatal consequences? But the new testament God is all about forgiveness and such??41·3 days agoThe old testament was all about acting a certain way and laws, laws, laws. The new testament says just try your best to love and respect each other. In theory anyways. Humans be humaning though and human nature trumps religion every time.
