MO/IL? That sounds St. Louis adjacent lol

Hope you start respecting your partners

That was 10 years ago. The further we get from “the 1900s” the broader the term will become to include the whole century, much like the 1800s is 1800-1899. I imagine in another 10-20 years it will be more and more common to see this shift when referencing past events.

Be careful with that second sentence. Keep in mind that there’s an age everyone experiences, not just white men, where people feel isolated and unheard. Believing that it only applies to young white men is a slippery slope into the mindset that creates these whackjobs.

You can’t deny judgment being implied in your statement. It’s very clear how you feel so own it. I will say, however, that shitting on “the kids” or zoomers or whatever is not helpful to anyone. We desperately need to be lifting up future generations so they can help us through the shit. Talking about them in the way you do only serves to keep them “lethargic”.

The 1950s are part of the 1900s… same as 1850 was part of the 1800s. They were just being facetious using “1900s” anyway. That will change as we all get older though, eventually it will just be the 1900s.

ACAB

More that the US has successfully managed to censor entire swaths of history by limiting education (especially in red states) and ensuring that critical thought is not taught or enforced in any meaningful capacity. This is all totally intentional and verifiable. The information is there, but people are literally not ever taught (in academia) to think critically and seek answers to things they are unsure of. It’s mostly just memorization until you get the churned to the next year of memorization and if you do dare question any of it you get shit on by peers and teachers alike for being a know it all. It’s rare that you find people willing to foster curiosity in children which ultimately blooms into people eating up whatever they’re told as truth.

That still doesn’t tell me why I should be concerned. Another country having access to good technology doesn’t set off alarm bells for me. I guess I need someone to spell out why them being less reliant on the West for tech is concerning. Especially considering how true the opposite has been (in regards to manufacturing) for ages.

Yeah I have literally zero more information lol I’m in the US and feel like I should be concerned because “China” but I’d love a valid reason beyond “they’re now capable of sustaining they’re own technology”.

Why? I’m not super educated on this matter and can’t find anything clear on why this would be bad

Yep, that’s me too, cis male. My SO will tell you how excited I get when pumpkin spice season starts.

Yes but I was responding to the person giving actual suggestions, not the meme.

Who cares?

Why put the burden on your partner when you could simply look yourself? Your partner doesn’t need to run the entire household, you’re a grown person. Look, then ask if you can’t find it. “I thought we had bread, I checked the pantry but wanted to make sure I didn’t miss it?”

What’s the best away for be to disable the pictrs directory? Is there a setting to flip in my instance?

Yep, just me. That not a bad idea. Even I post something would other instances reference mine or would it matter once it’s synced?

I’ll be honest, I’m probably just going to do a scheduled wipe of the pictrs directory of my local instance every week or whatever. I’ve done them manually a few times and they’ve had zero affect on my experience.

Federation still causes those images to be saved on your hardware, even if the account that creates it is hosted somewhere else.
