This is the type of high-brow conversation that keeps me on Lemmy.

And that’s how Twitter was born

Mastodon managed to just confuse the hell out of me before boring me. Take that with a grain of salt, though, because I was never on Twitter. It may be me, not the platform/concept.

Poo poo!

If you make them, he will cum

No offense, but is this move motivated by a true need to move ASAP? Because this doesn’t really read like it was written by someone in their thirties. Frankly, if it’s not a true need, it doesn’t seem from this post that you’re in a financial position to do this on anything close to a safe manner. And thus: if this is just a desire, no matter how strong the impulse is, it sounds like you need to wait.

I am not trying to be patronizing or condescending: I would just hate to see someone put themselves at the mercy of the world like it seems you may be about to.

enshitification of everything intensifies

As a clutzy person, I can’t imagine how anyone can do that. That’s super impressive!

How come? I don’t have a stake in it, I’m just curious any time someone has a strong opinion on an instance, especially since I just joined .world and never looked back/around.

Anyone saying they’re the bad guys is armchair quarterback-ing a people’s fight against annihilation.

If YOUR people lived in a militarily patrolled, constantly surveilled, walled off piece of your former homeland, from which you couldn’t leave to go visit a hospital without your oppressor’s army’s approval, and that same army tried to calculate food rations to keep you only just above starvation to keep you passive, and could arrest without cause and indefinitely hold you….would you really say that a group of your people were wrong for lashing out? Now on top of that, the civilian populace can be given permission by that same government to take arms and evict you and your family from your ancestral home. Are you wrong for lashing out?

What a fucking joke.

Ubuntu but with an Arch wallpaper? You madman

What? I’m American and everyone I know owns one.

Wait. You mean to tell me that giving kids terrible educations…makes them more susceptible to being stupid assholes?

Yes! Strap me to the millstone!

Yeah people this dumb either think it’s a good thing and revel in it or are incapable of forming the thought/reaching the level of self-awareness that allows them to think “maybe I’m stupid.”

But spicy autocorrect is going to steal my job next month! Benzinga told me and my boss so; when he does fire me it totally won’t be a self fulfilling prophecy!

(Don’t worry, if this ages poorly I WILL delete this comment.)

I mean… “Hoof Hearted” was a real horse name. (Read it out loud)

Yep! And their short-sighted greed is going to drive us right to the brink of annihilation. We’re staring down the barrel of environmental collapse and our leaders are generally either old enough they assume they’ll die before it gets “that bad,” and the others stupidly think money makes them immune to the destruction of the biosphere. Anyone under 50 right now is going to live through some incredibly dark times. We are all dogs in a car with the windows closed and the heater on in a Texas parking lot. Business as usual is going to get really ugly, really quickly, really soon.

I’m sorry to be the spelling guy but it’s “forbid” not “phorbid”

I’ve seen footage!
