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.

I find how they try to make you feel like a winner every visit there as laughably bad. Always hitting the right spaces on the spin the wheel? Always getting sales? Always this and that with Temu. Okay then…

I wouldn’t ever buy anything big from Temu at any cost. They’re great for stickers, enamel pins and just general, casual level items. If you’re willing to wait however long it takes to get them to you, obviously from where they’re sourced.

Probably Metron, from the New Gods in DC Comics. Just, being able to know everything and anything with a thirst of knowledge. I’d be able to solve all of the unsolved mysteries in seconds, I’d be able to foresee so much ahead to determine what the right choices to make are. I’d be a supreme advisor and uncontested in the wars of strategy. Plus I’d get all the abilities of a god too on top of it so add that.

The whole “we’re a family” motto. I never understood why this is a thing and why it should be a thing. There is no job that I’ve ever been comfortable getting that attached to.

Dude, you’ve said the same exact thing 3 times.

If it needs an app or internet connectivity - it can go fuck itself.

We’ve gone nearly a century of appliances that didn’t need this shit. Apps or the Internet itself will not and never will, make things easier to do tasks than they already were easier to do before.

Technology Connections has shown me that air fryers are just a glorified toaster oven. They don’t do really anything better, so just stick to a toaster oven.

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.

You jump to conclusions, just like the idiot that you really are. What a life you must live. Living by such a black and white narrative. “Durrhhhh…I’m incapable of thinking outside of the box, hue hue” Fucking idiot.

I think a lot of people in general are kind of busy worrying about other shit than getting all wrapped up in celebratory practices/traditions. kthx

You’re technically asking a “How do I?” by rewording it as an advice question. Also, learn to format your post. Christ. Nobody comes here to A) read blobs of text that poorly formatted and B) Relationship drama.

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.

Rule 5

If someone ever claims to be good at something, I would want to see a demonstration that examples their expertise. Because it is hard to take people at their word sometimes, so a demo is required.

There’s a split opinion on when exactly the internet peaked at. You’ll have some people say 2007, others will say 2009 and then there’s those who’ll even say mid-2000s like 2005. My personal opinion is that I think it peaked at 2007. Social Media was fairly at its infancy with Reddit, YouTube, Facebook, MySpace all a few years old each by that point. Cell phone technology was still primarily 3G. The Messenger Era was at its peak but was also starting to steadily go downhill.

2009 was actually when the internet started to corrode and it began with Facebook acquiring FriendFeed and that cracked open the idea that corporations could take control of the open web, which they eventually try and do as the years followed.
