Then we need a new word for the pseudoleftists who support authoritarian regimes in Russia and China who are infesting Lemmy.

Beehaw is somewhat closed off, but it's decent. It definitely seems to run into issues with its all feed occasionally only showing beehaw posts, and what I see there is a bit more defeatist and down-beat than what I see on some other instances. I've been using slrpnk more lately to have a less depressing front page, but they're both decent jumping off points.

Part of using the fediverse, to me, is looking at it from different angles. I don't see any reason to stick to just one account.

I still want to know what happened to Techno-Mage's arm.

Tankies aren't to the left of anyone. They're a parody of the left that ultimately believe in right-wing authoritarianism in a slightly different hat. Leftist authoritarian is an oxymoron.

Bot farmers don't get paid to criticize republicans.

Imagine if Trump got congress to let him run for a third election, and then Obama ran and kicked the shit out of him.

I know that when I'm playing cards in a dress that's melted into my skin, with my favorite half-bracelet draped over my wrist, I love to intimidate my opponent by flashing them two face cards. Who wouldn't be shaken by the Kinmb of Back of Card and the Quing of 21s? Especially when I've already played my oversized red card.

This is what happened with plastic bags in some stores in the US. We passed plastic bag bans and while in a lot of cases the result was a combination of low-quality paper bags and legitimately reusable plastic totes, in the past couple of years some places have started giving out plastic bags that are way thicker than the ones we used to have and just calling them reusable. Like, yeah, they're strong enough to be reused, but that definitely doesn't seem to be the norm. We just ended up with single-use plastic bags that literally use more plastic.

I picked up a projector on sale for $50 on Newegg, usually I think they're like $80 or something. Only problem is, I don't know how to get the dust out of the inside of the projector lens. I've tried spraying canned air into the cracks around it, but it didn't work. I even took the thing apart intending to wipe it down myself, but I couldn't figure out how to get to the back of the lens.

Still, for $50 it's not too bad. The little bits of dust are kind of annoying, but they're not in focus and it's pretty alright for watching movies.

Considering that it also extends to charging stations, that some of the Teslas are privately owned, and that people have been doing things like shooting at dealerships? I'm thinking not.
