I blame Reagan

But the real environmental reg rollback was the lead in our hearts.

The US used to use that as well but I dunno if younger people would be aware of it these days. There’s an old ee cummings poem that mentions “nipponized” metal.

Nippon still gets used today in names of places or organizations, and the sports chant equivalent of “USA! USA!” is “Nippon cha cha cha!”

Older generations definitely do. It got referenced in a Murakami short story set in the 70s (or 80s maybe) where a couple of Japanese guys vacationing in Hawaii who don’t speak English heard a racist guy go off and said they could pick up on that one word without understanding anything else.

Around the Boston area they call liquor stores “package stores” and shorten it to packie, but at least it’s spelled differently

Oh god, skyrim is 14 years old

Oh, I was thinking literal badlands

I wasn’t aware England had badlands

I’m on sync but I think it’s an instance thing. I tried on desktop and .world had AOC and .zip had Golden. The .zip admin usually updates the software faster than .world does (the zip page shows 0.19.9 at the bottom and world shows 0.19.3), so maybe that has something to do with it.

Like I said, the AOC pic isn’t anywhere in the linked Independent article and the Golden one is the first one (about a third of the way down the page), so I dunno where it came from. Most of the other thumbnails are the same but there’s an article about the Dow from yesterday where again my instance has the thumbnail from the article and .world has a thumbnail that isn’t in that same link.

He got out of the US recently-- I’m sure there’ll be periods in setting up in a new country where he’s too busy to be on lemmy

I see the same picture of Golden from both this thread and the main page of news. Looks like if I access it through .world instead of my home instance AOC shows up.

I wonder where it’s pulling the AOC pic from, because it’s not in that article.

Maybe it updated or something, but the article for me only shows a photo of Golden followed by one of Mace. There’s a vid at the top with a WH press conference. No photos of AOC at all.

It’s the late 70s early 80s gen, aka the Oregon Trail gen

“My actions are directly linked to tanking my company, so I’ve decided to double down on being a nazi.”

Prime example of how the rich are in their positions because of sheer genius and literally nothing else.

But is even mentioning Luigi against the rules? Do reddit rules ban the mention of any murderer (and he’s not even convicted), like Gacy or the Menendez brothers, or just ones that killed a millionaire?

Truth is tech bros like pigboy steve don’t want to be reminded that they’re giant pieces of shit, so of course they don’t have consistent rules.

I feel like this can go along with Prance

Yep-- wanna bet this never applies to accounts upvoting “fuck biden” or “let’s go brandon” comments?

Biden was a fucking coward. As soon as SCOTUS said the president was immune from everything he should’ve dropped the con judges into a black site. Let them put their money where their mouth is and see how well their convictions hold up.

I tried promoting lemmy with a throwaway account using temp mail and got shadowbanned immediately. Oh well

As a publicly traded US company, can’t the board of directors vote Elon out because of tanking sales? Seems like that’s the only way for the company to survive at this point.
