My violin teacher called it practicing without ambition. Every time you practice, you’re supposed to criticize yourself and constantly compare yourself to better players so that you can strive to master a specific part of playing. In a healthy way, of course. Otherwise, you can “practice” for fifty years and still never learn anything.

It started as a 4chan prank to trick liberals, but ended up being taken just as seriously by Nazis, KKK, and white supremacists. It was called Operation O-KKK and the plan was to flood Twitter using, and I quote, “basic white girl names” accounts and tweet that the OK sign is a white supremacy symbol.

Later, the OK sign became like a signal to these white power people that you were a sympathizer or member. I don’t know how true this is, but at this point the OK sign were said to represent the letter W and P, for white power.

During this time I remember a lot more memes used by these losers. I think Pepe? I don’t remember much else.

So the guy in the pic is just a homophobic bigot? Or homophobic but also sexist, on account of the female characters looking as worn as the male characters? I’m too old to understand what woke means, but the guy’s post is also confusing to read.

I’m not down about it, I expected some downvotes from a question like this, because Lemmy isn’t that different from reddit 😅

How did you get your name like that?

Omg they are angels

I’ve never seen islam defenders respond to this. The ones that did were just closet pedophiles who wanted child marriage to be ok again.

Oh, I see! Islam defenders respond by downvoting with zero self-reflection! No wonder you lot have nothing to say! Mystery solved :)

Where do they think all the surgery techniques and medicine come from if not from education? Do they think we don’t need any more progress? This is shortsighted and evil thinking. Everyone deserves an education, both formal and informal.

That’s so adorable. Do bats like getting petted?

I think they replaced half the cashiers here, but not at every branch. Do you have machine cooks at your McD?

Wait, really? Can you tell me more? I don’t know what to google.

The reply to that tweet makes a lot of sense and it’s been around for a while. Why doesn’t this change more people’s minds? It changed mine the first time I saw it.

I feel the exact same way you do about DOS2. I switched to an easier difficulty soon enough. Baldur’s Gate 3 feels like I finally get to be a player as a forever-DM, but also makes me feel like scolding the non-existent DM for some stupid encounter and quest design. I play with a full party of friends, so maybe it’s because we fuck around too much.

That said, it is early access. Hopefully the final product has better intuition so that you don’t have to save-reload all the damn time because you didn’t mindread the devs.

That’s crazy. He wants to turn the app into an everything app and there isn’t even concrete plans in place. Wish I could be a fly on the wall in their meetings. If they even have one.

If other people had the money he has, they’d go to school and learn so many things. Elon has all the money and just learns nothing. What a waste of space.

Holy fuck I didn’t know Elon is that big of a bigot, he keeps getting worse every time

That’s crazy pretty!! Thanks!

I remember this sparked an argument the last time this pic was posted somewhere else. Like, the bread isn’t toasted, it’s butter but the lighting makes it look bright, no it’s cream cheese the lighting is normal, etc. It was the pettiest thing but things for racist real fast.

I like how you’ve boiled it down. Wish I can freely tell people that, but being atheist is apparently worse than murder where I live.

Is there a lot of support for Mint? I picked Ubuntu because it looked like there is more people who can help with it if I had to post a question.
