I put on a bird video for my cat, she was very interested. One of the birds suddenly flew off, and she ran behind the tv in search of it. We laughed right in our cat’s face, at her expense.

halyk.the.red@lemmy.mlto News@lemmy.world•Tesla secures permit needed for applying to operate an autonomous ride-hailing9·4 months agoCall for an uber, driverless tesla pulls up. Call a tow truck, don’t cancel the order. “Yeah hi, thanks for showing up. Yeah I dunno, it just pulled up here and it’s blocking my driveway.”
halyk.the.red@lemmy.mlto Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Any recommendations from the Steam Spring Sale?4·4 months agoThey don’t have to, but still can purchase the lower priced game, to get the same sale as you or me. Hence, frugality.
halyk.the.red@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•What if Ukraine decides to fight on without America?6·4 months agoI bet a small portion of the country will remain Ukrainian, but only because no one else is going to willingly add Chernobyl to their country.
halyk.the.red@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•Secretary General, Mark Rutte announced that NATO membership for Ukraine is off the table. He also says that relations with Russia need to be normalized post-war.4·4 months agoI suppose time will tell. If it does happen, I’ll be interested in seeing how it’s presented in the media.

Most people will not end up as 1% rich, as implied by the name. The average working person is in risk of destitution. We are all much much closer to homelessness than we are to immense wealth.
halyk.the.red@lemmy.mlto Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Any recommendations from the Steam Spring Sale?281·4 months agoFrugality does not imply a lack of wealth.
halyk.the.red@lemmy.mlto Work Reform@lemmy.world•New Report Shows Working-Class Americans Live 7 Years Fewer Than Rich15·4 months agoNot 1% rich, as the article says.
Years of being unable to afford preventative care, and insurance coverage denial for helpful procedures, mean the average person will die sooner. The lifespan of Americans is much lower, despite higher costs of healthcare, when compared against peer countries.
I bet there’s more plastic in poorer people as well.
halyk.the.red@lemmy.mlto News@lemmy.world•'Schumer Must Resign' as Senate Dem Leader After Helping Advance GOP Spending Bill81·4 months agoIt would be interesting to see if he resigns. Then another point of data can be added to the ever-running observation of where actions actually have consequences in the us government.
halyk.the.red@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•Secretary General, Mark Rutte announced that NATO membership for Ukraine is off the table. He also says that relations with Russia need to be normalized post-war.41·4 months agoWill there be insurgencies in the former Ukraine territory? Or has their will be crushed completely? And what of the heads of state? Will the Ukrainian government trip over one another in efforts to cast blame and avoid fallout?
I’m afraid the issues in Ukraine will continue for some time. The lives they enjoyed pre-invasion are not coming back, even if they were physically unharmed.
halyk.the.red@lemmy.mlto News@lemmy.world•Vance discusses Elon Musk's 'mistakes' and 'incremental progress' on the economy in NBC News interview3·4 months agoI would sooner ask the common burdock it’s opinion on economics.
halyk.the.red@lemmy.mlto News@lemmy.world•Elon reportedly orders government to stop feeding the bomb-sniffing dogs13·4 months agoPerhaps we take those dogs. When the unruly mobs kick in the mansions of the ultra rich, we let the dogs feed once more.
halyk.the.red@lemmy.mlto News@lemmy.world•Full list of Democrats who voted to advance Trump-backed GOP funding bill21·4 months agoWas this the swamp that needed draining?
Jokes aside, I can’t see why a swamp would need draining beyond the needs of expanding suburban sprawl. Leave the wonderfully diverse ecosystems be, to flourish and rot in peace.
halyk.the.red@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.world•'Enough is enough': Greenland flatly rejects Trump's calls for annexationEnglish71·4 months agoWell I recall reading about what happened the last time vikings tried to land on American shores, and I say bring em on!
I just need to check my notes real quick.
Okay so it turns out we may have genocided the people who defended their homeland against some of the most feared warfighters of that time, so perhaps trump just drops this whole thing before unnecessary blood is shed.
Seriously, anyone who gets so much as a papercut as a direct result of one of trump’s orders is regretful and unfortunate.

halyk.the.red@lemmy.mlto News@lemmy.world•ICE wastes $16M on Guantanamo Bay operation as all migrants returned to US15·4 months agoSpent millions to make people feel like yo-yo’s.
Yeah, I know someone who won’t watch that episode again because of how unsettling it is. Luckily for them, it’s slowly becoming reality.
