The system is designed for an endless loop of this.

Oh yeah it is. You can’t really vote yourself out of some of that stuff.

Did I mention I light up a cigarette, pull out my phone, then almost at the end I hold a water bottle and try to see if I can shoot… I turn my car off.

I blast my AC full blast and roll down all the windows just to pump gas in heat.

People don’t think it’s possible to do all of this. After reading the entire thing, it’s 100% possible, but I don’t think people are seeing this as the end of democracy in the U.S.

Women, minorities, public education, the environment, work reform, social services and even protesting are straight up done. Sounds extreme, but I’m not seeing how you vote yourself out of this after firing everyone and replacing them with people only loyal to the president.

After almost a year with mine I don’t think I’ll go back to a normal phone. Having a small phone that fits in the palm of my hand and I can make full size works for me personally. If I didn’t have the external screen and it was a full sized phone that opened I’d probably agree.

We would instantly transport back into the 1950’s. After “animals” “thugs” gets thrown out his z league faux military supporters would be outraged and a lot of people would get killed.

This is the most Omni Consumer Products situation.

I was going to read all of this until I got to “provide some option to pay more and not have ads” . Zero chance this would ever end in a consumer friendly way after that first payment.

Been in a situation with a dog like that and the vet was still the only option. She makes it seem like blowing a dog away is the only option.

Hmmm I’m noticing a trend of this constantly being a thing now. It’s almost like teachers don’t make enough and need to have another…We need to pay teachers more.

The rack isn’t even attached to the rails in this picture. So not that weird.

These are weird?

I can believe it. Every commercial break is an ad for sports betting.

They started moving people to the Federated server last year to test things. I didn’t see this article but people were openly talking about moving over on Bluesky. So thanks for posting this because I always see people say it’s not getting Federated on Lemmy, but see people on Bluesky say it is, confusing.

No they don’t. I don’t have a problem with let me listen to this to see if I should buy it. That’s totally understandable. People who just do it to get everything free is what I have a problem with. If you really like the work find a way to support them because those numbers open doors to bigger opportunities.

Totally agree on the show’s and I’ve seen some big name artists at small shows randomly. Also some really good merchandise.

Piracy creates an endless loop of artists taking advances and eventually losing royalties. That’s just what I’ve seen growing up in the music /film/ TV industry and briefly working in both. Screw labels and Spotify but go support artists and actually buy stuff.

Moved to Lemmy, best choice ever.

I’m glad I’m not the only person who felt that vibe from it. I could feel the new tech being reviewed hype, but he wasn’t totally into it. When he stood on the trunk I could totally see he was giving his all.

Murder by words, my goodness.
