What's really lost in this whole conversation is how its... 2025 and almost nobody walks around with cash anymore?

You can literally call your bank and credit card companies and have all your cards cancelled and locked within minutes? Any money spent by the thief will be returned to your accounts?

If it's your phone stolen instead of your wallet... You didn't have it set to be locked or auto-lock when theft is detected? You didn't have find your device set up? You don't have it set to be able to be remotely wiped? Pretty sure you can also get your phone insured for theft.

One of the few valuable things Tyler Durden said in Fight Club was "You are not the contents of your wallet. You are not the car you drive. You are not your fucking khakis." Yet Americans still love to extend the concept of who they are to the things they own.

People are fucking unhinged, man.

Time and endless propaganda rehabilitated war criminals to the point that Harris trotted out one of them in support of her as somehow a positive thing.

People still ooh and ahh over the photo of a war criminal handing Michelle Obama a piece of candy.

people who don’t watch American sports

I'm gonna go out on a fucking limb and say people playing professional sports are not representative of the average obese assholes who have to walk around with a fucking oxygen tank lmao.

expertly smash you into the ground

Seriously, why do Americans all think they're the best fighters around? Is it too much television and action movies? You're in America, you really think an American pickpocket isn't going to be packing some kind of weapon and if they clock that they're being chased they are afraid to use it or something? I dunno, it seems to me the vast majority love just fantasizing about this while in reality they'd be bleeding out on the pavement before they had a chance to touch the person who swiped their shit.

You're still living in a fantasy land where you're able to successfully pull that off every time this happens and not get your own shit rocked. You're also living in a fantasy land where punching someone a few times while they're down on the pavement and cracking their skull into the concrete won't completely alter their lives, far more than you losing your wallet would alter yours.

Get a grip on reality, dude.

This is America, we only fantasize about fighting for rights over here.

This absolutely unhinged thread proves my point.

That's ice cold brother man.

That is entirely dependent on the state you live in, and not all states have the same kind of interpretation.

These are all the fantasies of people who think they're the winner in every single outcome.

LMAO because Americans really care about the conditions that drive people to crime. Solving the issue of poverty solves a lot of crime, but fuck caring about the mental health of those driven to crime. We only care about the mental health of people who are doing well.

I want some of what you're smoking. US society is absolutely fucked.

Your attempt to act like a big man who will always win in a fight and not end up dead yourself trying to protect your pittance of property is hilariously pathetic and ignorant to the world.

Yep. Don’t ever bother with de-escalation when you know no safety net will save you. You have to go all in, or you are left behind, or dead.

I love love love how everyone just assumes they will win these fights and they won't end up dead anyway trying to protect their pittance of property. What a fucking unhinged way to live.

Guess what, you don't always win just because you're in the right.

Classic American, extending their personhood to the items they own. Get a grip, your wallet is not you and you're not defending yourself if it's stolen.

 

I just want to know if reports are failing for anyone else and if we need to be making some kind of plea to the admins/moderation teams/developers to try to fix it.

Because not being able to report this obvious spam is a problem.

 

We are getting reports of YouTube rolling out an experiment to some accounts where normal videos only have DRM formats available on the tv (TVHTML5) Innertube client.

This is not limited to yt-dlp. Tests have been run with the same account on various official YouTube TV clients (PS3, web browser, apple tv) and they are also only getting DRM formats for videos.

We live in hell-world.

 

this one is called "too short haiku"

 

Right from the start
I was stabbed in the heart
Didn't know I wasn't breathing
Didn't know I had been bleeding

Opened my door
Thought I was alone but
Someone was hiding
In a dark room in my home

Hum it, you will remember some of it
But if you solve it you will remember all of it

Creeper in my home, crawled in through the window
I grabbed a kitchen knife, couldn't stick it in though
Creeper had his own, shining in the moonlight
My home was very cold, and something didn't feel right

Right from the start
I was stabbed in the heart
Didn't know I wasn't breathing
Didn't know I had been bleeding

Opened my door
Thought I was not alone, but
Someone was hiding in the dark room in my home

I woke up thirsty on an island in the sea
I woke up hungry with hungry cougars surrounding me
I hit the soft spot on the soft spot on my head
It made me tired so I sung from my bed
"I'm ready to die, I'm ready to die, I'm ready to die"

A sword, a switchblade, any way you cut it
I'm not afraid, I know I'm going to get it
Oh, maker of such fine products
As palm trees, and the dead sea

Don't pardon me, there's nothing rude
Things conclude, things conclude!

As I slurred that chorus
The ghosts got Biggie Small sounds like a drill
The death sweat suits me
A death threat provides a thrill
I've seen the world, kissed all the pretty girls
I've said my goodbyes and now I'm ready to die

[OC] too short haiku by me (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
submitted 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) by SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone to c/poetry@lemmy.world
 

i tried to write a
good haiku but it was one
syllable short

 

Nearly two full hours of step-by-step instruction details the use of computer-generated curve picks, rockers, magnetic lock picking, lock-aid guns, and electronic picks in this revolutionary video.

You'll see the craft of picking pin tumbler, wafer, tubular cylinder and padlocks; quick, undetectable methods for beating the most popular locks in the U.S.; and opening safes via drilling, burning bars, thermite and the European explosive method.

Whether you're a locksmith, cop, detective or just a concerned citizen, you cannot afford to miss this exceptional tape.

 

What it says on the tin. Power management is set to turn my monitors off after a set amount of time. They all instantly come back on. I have resorted to using a screen saver in X11 until this is solved.

Three monitors, different brands: one hdmi->hdmi, one dp->hdmi, dp->dvi (pc->monitor)

Only one of the monitors have input auto-switching and that is disabled.

I am losing my mind even the cli xset dpms force off (X11) or kscreen-doctor --dpms off (Wayland) just has them come back on seconds later.

All the A/V cables are new.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
