politics @lemmy.world•Trump threatens to deploy ICE agents to airports Monday if funding deal isn’t reached
3·3 days agoYep! And that’s not going to go over well with the more well-to-do business and political frequent flyers that have been either supporting trump or looking the other way for him. There’s no way ICEholes will be able to act civilized or in any other way than the outlaw thug lifestyle to which they’ve become accustomed.
I just read that Homan has confirmed they’re going to start tomorrow (Monday). I wonder if they’ll be wearing camo and masks, or will just be cosplaying in TSA uniforms. Either way, they won’t be able to hide who they are and they’ll be treating people like shit. They won’t know what to do if they can’t wave a gun in their faces to make them obey.

24·4 days agoGreat, do it! That should go over really really well. 🤣 And keep them from going out and doing their gestapo duties while they’re at it.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Question for those who didn't learn cursive
41·6 days agoClearly you haven’t seen many signatures. Mine is a scrawl that no one could identify, and I learned cursive a long, long time ago.
I’m old and have seen very many signatures of cursive writers so I know that most are scrawl-like and only slightly resemble the letters they’re based on. What I haven’t seen is signatures of the non-cursive-knowing signers, which is why I’m asking the question and hoping to get responses from those who never learned cursive.
For people who learned cursive, it’s natural and intuitive to develop a unique, flowing signature that’s hard for someone else either to forge or even guess what it might look like. So my question is trying to understand if those who’ve only ever printed also develop unique signatures like that, or if their signatures look closer to how they would normally print their name.

News@lemmy.world•Conan O’Brien kicks off Oscars on ‘serious’ note: ‘These are very chaotic, frightening times’
13·8 days agoI only read the quote that was posted, which didn’t actually criticize the regime or anything. Sounds pretty tame to me.
Probably anyone over 40-45 or so who reached adulthood before smartphones became a thing. The first iphone was 2007 and it was still a while before everyone had one and the addictive apps took them over. So even if they had cell phones in their teens or tweens they would only have been talking and texting with their friends on them, IOW socially interacting face to face with people most of the time.

98·8 days agoConan thinking: “Let’s see now, how can I make a giant party that’s nothing but a mutual admiration society for a bunch of rich people seem somehow OK to do while people are suffering all over in a world that’s falling apart because our country just started WWIII but it doesn’t affect us because did I mention we’re all rich as hell and just spent 150 grand each on our outfits that we’ll wear only this once?” sigh "I suppose I have to say something because the poors are watching and we want them to keep watching our movies to escape from their dismal lives for a while.*
*clears throat* “Let us celebrate — not because we think all is well — but because we work and hope for better”
“Yeah, that sounds good”

edit: Yall downvoters love those multi-millionaires, huh? What do you find admirable about them? That they’re prettier than the tech-bro nerdy kind of rich? That they only make hundreds of millions instead of billions, only own a couple mansions and just the one private jet?

Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Ladies and Gentlemen, this is what slopperations are funneling all their money into in 2026
4·9 days agoWhat if you put “20 bricks or 20 feathers?” without mentioning the word “pounds” at all? I wonder if it would latch onto the same riddle.
You could try talking to older people who didn’t grow up with a phone plastered to their face so it wouldn’t be weird for them.
Then Fox bought it
OMG I didn’t know that had happened! :( When I was a kid my grandmother got me a subscription to it every year for Christmas. It was great.

News@lemmy.world•Illinois introduces OS-level age verification law
11·13 days agoThis has nothing to do with “protecting children”. The goal of the Broligarchs is to end general purpose computers that individuals own and have personal control of. They want total control and ownership of everything and to divide the market up amongst themselves. All computing devices must be locked down so they can rent them out to us for a never-ending income of recurring payments of money, information, ad revenue, and dissemination of propaganda to control future elections and keep lawmakers in their pockets and laws implementing their plans.
Right, it’s not automatically recurring. If you get below some number of credits (I forget how many), they notify you (by email of course!) so you have plenty of time to buy some more.
