I think this is a huge part of it. Occasionally I'll surf Facebook after checking out the marketplace. Last night I saw tons of posts about that "Try that in a small town" song with tons of people claiming to support it. Just post after post of people saying they don't see anything racist about it at all, and not a single one pointing out how showing videos of the BLM protests while singing "we take care of our own, try that in a small town" miiiiiiiight just be a little bit racist. Fortunately I usually only click on cat videos and the rare left leaning recommended posts, so I got to see one post with a picture of John Cougar Mellencamp saying something like "I sang about my small town without mentioning violence." The post had hundreds of comments....all deleted by admins.
Even when you try to avoid the controversy and hateful comments, the system is still designed to keep you doomscrolling. Positivity doesn't help that...
Kinda sorta...while it's a lot to take to the door, it knocks off most of the packages off our list in one stop. I'm more upset when people order cat litter.
Cat litter weighs a ton and must always be brought to the door. Really, anything heavy and bulky is just a pain. I'd rather take the 20+ little parcels to the door.
Are you a kind little old lady that makes Christmas cookies as a tip every year? I don't mind doing it in that case. Everyone else can stub their toe on a coffee table every day for the rest of their lives as far as I'm concerned.
I think this is the saddest part, at least for him. Before Twitter, a lot of people thought he was relatively intelligent to be a part of a groundbreaking electric car company, a crazy tunnel digging company, and wild space vehicle company doing innovative things. Now since Twitter, we see an insanely rich narcissistic meglomaniac that was kept out of most Tesla big decisions as he just wanted the publicity for himself, the tunnel digging company was nothing more than a way to interfere with green projects, SpaceX did the same thing as Tesla and succeeded despite Musk's involvement, and a once respected medium of open communication worth a reported $44 billion dollars devolve into a cess pool of bigotry and arbitrary restrictions. Whatever good will he built for himself over the years that saw him even get a cameo in a Marvel movie next to Tony Stark, he's burned through most of it in the eyes of a lot of people.
This is just it. I used limewire for years and never got a virus. I was also not stupid enough to download "Brittany.Spears.Nude.Totally.Legit.Movie.avi.exe". It amazes me how completely blind some people are.
And if they did that, the admins would just boot the mods and bring in scabs anyways. There is no way that any continuing protests won't end like that at this point. Admins have made it very clear...get with the program, or fuck off.
Did you know that if you piss in the same spot regularly, the entire area will smell like piss all the time? I deliver mail to a lot of people with dogs. Many people just let their dog out the front door, where they will immediately piss 2 feet away because they had been locked in the house all day. So many houses smell like piss at the front door. And there's nothing you can do about it once it's there. It'll take years for the smell to go away without serious intervention.
Don't piss at your front door...or maybe do if you get a lot of unwanted visitors. Just know that if you do, it will smell really pissy all the time.
This was 20 years ago. I have no idea what site it was. I just googled "stock market simulator" and went to the first one that looked legitimate. Of course it was a little easier in 2003...
Yeah, you get them with Premium I think. I never bought it, but someone one gave me an award that came with 700 coins and a month of premium. It was interesting going into the Premium only subs, but nothing special enough to spend money on in my eyes. I still have the 700 coins, at least for now, since I didn't see the point in spending them before all this and I don't see the point of going back.
Lemmy is more left leaning because the rights popularity seen on other social media are driven by bots that are not here.
Yet.
