No, you do not get it.

71+ Million. Yes, 71+ million Americans, decided the country’s fate last year. You are not going to skew this into a whole “blame the billionaires” spin.

Blaming the billionaires and rich yadda yadda even has its stretch. There are countless pieces of evidence that directly say that - yes - it is the people’s fault. It is the American’s fault. You wouldn’t know that because it sounds like you don’t live here and just know.

Trump did everything and I mean everything, to make him look and sound as unappealing as a candidate and retainer for presidency as possible. The guy is a fucking murderer of negligence to over 350,000k Americans during a pandemic. And STILL - Americans willingly picked him.

The sad thing is that it takes tragedies to unite a country.

When 9/11 happened, the country was united for once. Nothing mattered, two planes just destroyed 3,000 lives for everyone to see and feel. Granted, the aftermath of the matter could’ve totally been handled better in all angles. But for a while, it really felt great to feel united.

But it has been 24 years since and even that has worn off.

How about look at your modlog history and maybe, um, not do anymore of those things?

Just a thought. Otherwise, deal with it.

I hate getting this when Google absolutely knows that I’m the one logging in and actively using said account!

I get it, verification this and verification that, but for fuck sakes, it’s nothing but an obstacle course that drains seconds and minutes of doing.

And thus, failed on being the Reddit replacement it long aspired to be. Because that kind of behavior is what has already long infected Reddit and corroded it into the way it is today.

I guess in Lemmy’s credit, mind as well do it while it is fairly young.

If a social media platform cannot ever accept the possibility and probability of opinions that work against the majority, you’re effectively building a hivemind regardless of intention.

I think they’re going to try and find a way to kill him to send a strong example as to what happens to people in his place.

But then I hope it does happen because it’ll only make him a martyr.

It’s way too small, even smaller than Lemmy, to really bother.

Here’s my problem with Reddit-alternatives - they only focus on a handful of communities. You’ll have your politics, your gaming, your technology, your news .etc

But where the hell are all of the fun ones? Reddit had micro-communities in spades, that’s what it is known for. If the alternatives aren’t trying then they aren’t trying hard enough.

If you ignore the social stigma about them about how many ways people inject their social philosophies and other mind junk into the fabric of the films. As well as not look to into things, then it’s just as Star Wars as they come except Disney-fied.

Everyone to a degree is contributing to the problems we prop up. I realize and understand that even if I stopped doing whatever I feel I’m contributing to the problem of, I’m only one person and I’m not that much of a difference maker. Okay so I stop, but what about the 999 people left that are still contributing to the problem? How long will it take them? Will they ever notice? I doubt it.

If I change for the better then good for me I guess, but just simply me stopping is not going to change the world. This has to be a group effort and until the rest of the group changes for the better, nothing will be solved.

I noticed this happening recently as last night. I was wondering what the fuck was going on. 30 minutes my ass, for example, I listened to Alice in Chains’ Them Bones which is a 2 minute song, after the “promise” of 30 minutes ad-free and I got ad after fucking ad. Then I get a song, then it’s ad after fucking ad. I’ll be lucky I get 2 more songs before it’s more ads.

I’m actually going to be looking into a media player that has bluetooth in it so I don’t have to ever put up with this spotify shit.

No I don’t. It’s just a dumb internet toy and I’m glad Lemmy and the Fediverse treats it like that. It used to annoy the fuck out of me with Reddit, where they tie your account to it. Too low or negative? Good luck posting anywhere or tripping the spam filter bot that thinks you’re an evader so you get banned over it.

People have this idea in their heads that the higher their karma is, the more righteous they are and that they can’t think or say wrong. When, based on experience, a lot of the time that people with high karma counts happen to be from the most insufferable bastard human beings I ever come across.

Hey, blame the ones who’re louder about it, I didn’t fetishize them. Go talk to the furries first.

Femboys don’t even need the right-wingers’ help at all. They fetishize themselves and it is in of itself a fetish. I would know given by the amount of furry porn that encircles around femboys in general. And unfortunately, they are some of the loudest and pretend all femboys want to just be cock-slaves and cock-sleeves.

Dude, get the hell out of here. Stop turning everything political.

I like to donate and purge things that I think have lost all levels of relevancy to me. If I look at something, think when the last time I’ve used it was, if I feel anything at all for it anymore and if I foresee any future use for it and base my decision on that. It has helped greatly in making my apartment look entirely manageable and not be a hoarder.

I would have to trash my apartment around to make it messy as if it was a hoarder’s place, but the most mess I ever get is maybe I forgot to grab a plate or two or maybe some things are left behind. Things that take no time at all to deal with while still maintaining a decent apartment.

I also do shadow-blocking too. If I see someone who’s going to be an antagonizing prick for no reason to someone, good reason to block just to save you the future trouble if they decide to target you. There are just a lot of people online who treat it as a hobby to go around shitting all over anything and everyone.

I do this a lot whenever I have my 5-year cycle of migrating accounts. If I have lost track of and forgotten entirely the purpose of an account I had once made and know it is not essential or required, it is gone.

Unfortunately, there are services and places out there online in which they do not allow you to delete accounts. I wish this would be a federal law of some kind because it would lessen your footprints online. It is bad practice and I automatically label them as data farms because really, what reason do you have to not allow people to delete their accounts? You’re setting people up to be collected in data breaches and therefore your data falls into the hands of someone you wouldn’t want to have it.

Well for one thing - document heavily on the idea of the product. This is a must. Figure out your target audience - who or what is this for? Figure out an rough draft of costs and ideas how much you’d like to have sold this for.

And then once you figure all of that out, you’re going to need to file a patent.

Wherever and however this idea of yours will come about, these are the kind of things that are important to deal with.
