Getting the money back from him is easy if you write the correct terms into the contracts. I think they are scared that Trump will try to get “revenge” against them for taking their money back should he lose his appeal.

You can patch old third-party apps with ReVanced. That being said, they are unmaintained and will still eventually break.

For many people, guns are used for sport (hunting). In rural areas, this is very common. Some people are just paranoid and feel the need to be armed. It’s not stupid in its own right. If the owner of the gun knows how to secure it properly and takes the appropriate precautions, it can be safe to store firearms in a house. The problem is that too many people who own guns let their egos get too big and are neglectful of gun safety or downright stupid. That’s when problems arise.

There is real nuance to this issue. Don’t try to dumb it down to “gun owners are idiots”.

Japan isn’t a federation, there is no “federal”

This case will cause a chilling effect but in a backward sort of way. The reality is that nobody is likely to be convicted in the way Crumbley was, because Crumbley was so unbelievably stupid it was literally criminal. So the only people who will be convicted under this precedent are the equally stupid.

But more intelligent parents will take note, get scared, and hopefully lock up their guns so their insane kids can’t use them to shoot up the school.

I get that, but I also want to be able to support services like Mullvad, since they’re just an honest, scandal-free service. But at the same time, the only functionality I need is pretending I’m not in America to certain websites

I really want to switch to Mullvad but it’s difficult for me to justify 5€ a month when other VPN services regularly have specials offering US$2 a month if I prepay 2 years

I think what YouTube does would be sufficient. There’s a noticeably different video progress bar colour (yellow instead of red) and a large “Skip Ad in __” in the corner, plus the advertiser information on the side.

Reddit could do this by putting a “Paid advertisement” watermark in the corner or putting “Advert” where the upvote/downvote buttons are and colouring it some noticeable colour, like yellow, and I would be satisfied with that.

To be fair, 40% of Lemmy is cross posts from Reddit, 20% is spam posts by one user across multiple communities, and the remaining 40% is divided evenly between actual content and posts complaining about Reddit

All social media is trash, just different in what aspects they are trash in

If it’s not already the law, it needs to be. It should be required that paid advertising be disclosed in all contexts.

Bro has a yiffit.net account. I’m quitting for the night

The Internet equivalent to “white people are the original Americans”

I said it before on Reddit and I will say it again here—

If Reddit has asked me for a premium subscription to use my favourite third-party app, I would have fucking paid.

Just bad business all around

These are all very interesting and good ideas, but I struggle to see why they need to be added to a constitution. A constitution is supposed to be a frame of government, and adding a bunch of ideals to it seems like just worthless lip service.

Yes, I recognise that it’s already filled with such statements, and I find the inclusion of such statements equally baffling.

Nintendo CEO cutting his salary in half to avoid laying off workers after the Wii U fails versus whatever the fuck Reddit is doing

My friend, it seems like your anxiety is nicotine withdrawal. That explains why smoking makes your anxiety go away; you’re getting another hit of nicotine to ease off the withdrawal.

Vaping isn’t harmless. Especially since you’re 18, it will inhibit your brain development and the chemicals in the vape are chronically toxic. Nicotine is extremely addictive. Many people get addicted after just a few goes.

Texas and Florida are pretty well-known as the shitholes of America. Run by populist idiots who cater to the uninformed and gullible voter. I’m sure there are places like that in every country.
