Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you think Chinese companies will pick up the slack when it comes to consumer RAM and SSDs?English
131·3 months agoI hope China sanctions the USA to keep their RAM and SSDs and technology in general away from the US.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What will a post US empire world look like?English
9·3 months agoMy hope is that when the USA falls, it will take global capitalism with it. I’ve been speculating about the post-capitalist world on Mastodon lately.
It’s hard as hell, but for me it comes down to this: we have to decide if they’re suffering so much that death would be a relief for them. Since we don’t have a common language, all we can do is go by what other signs and indicators are available. I don’t entirely trust veterinarians to make that decision, because in the past it has seemed to me that they tend to err on the side of euthanasia.
I’ve done it both ways. Either way, it hurts.

movies@piefed.social•Movie Theaters Dread Any Warner Bros. Merger, Fear “Tipping Point” Where Whole System “Crumbles”English
2·3 months agoIf I owned movie theaters, I’d start making my own movies. Hollywood is a dying star, heading towards black hole status.
And at this point, a drooling idiot could make better movies than Disney or most of Hollywood. Always excepting Guillermo del Toro, of course! He’s amazing.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's your opinion about the future of US and EU if people can afford less every year?English
1·3 months agoIf we’re lucky BRICS will declare sanctions against the US and its allied fascist regimes. Once the system collapses, perhaps China will invade and free us from American capitalism.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is something you can see, hear, smell, etc., that others can't?English
5·3 months agoI’m a super-taster and thanks to lots of childhood abuse I’m hypervigilant. So pretty much everything. If a person anywhere in the area has been smoking or in a smoky room any time in the last day or two, I’ll know it. I know what you last ate - and drank, if it wasn’t water. I can hear a woman sobbing quietly in a locked room down the hall when nobody else can.
I see beauty in the clouds in the sky at night. I smell faint smoke on the wind. Scents that remind me of long ago, when I was a child - like the smell of shrinky-dinks coming off a hot metal mold, or pastries coming out of an Easy-bake oven. Autumn leaves swirling in an icy breeze. Or the smell of something like earwax, or tar.
I often wonder how normal people live without sensing so much of the world!

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What show is weirdly or oddly cozy for you?English
2·3 months agoOddly enough, Emergency! (1972). There’s something reassuring about it.
Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist is very relaxing and cozy. And it’s all available on YouTube.
And, of course, The Waltons.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you think Trump will fall because of the new Epstein emails?English
4·4 months agoI’m still skeptical that Epstein died at all! More likely they killed some guy who looked like him and let Mossad spirit the real Epstein away to Tel Aviv, where he’s living under a new identity on the beach with all the children he can r*pe.
As for Trump, no. Come on. The only way ANY of the corruption ends is with a general strike and the overthrow of the state - plus, with any luck, capitalism itself.

1·4 months agoThat’ll be quite a turnaround. We will go from seeing reality in Gaza to pure fantasy from Israel. Smiling Palestinian children (played by Israeli child actors) hugging their IDF “friends”.
I’ll be deleting my account, thank you.

Technology@beehaw.org•For the first time in 40 years, Windows will ship without built-in word processorEnglish
7·2 years agoI don’t care as long as they don’t take away NotePad. NotePad has useful features I’d hate to lose - such as stripping out all formatting, and being able to search/replace wildcard characters as themselves, rather than as wildcards.
It was well before I turned one; I was still in a crib. It was dark, nighttime, and incredibly hot. Some sort of animal with glowing eyes stared at me from the floor.
I thought it was a dream, but decades later my parents confirmed that when I was a baby the thermostat had broken and we had a night where the temperature was 100°. As for the animal with glowing eyes, that was our cat.
