why does it seem like basically all the past communist leaders were also evil and cruel? can’t we get some chill ones?

cutest girl at work asked me if i knew what poppers were, then supplied the explanation after i said yes. unfortunately i was/am too stupid to advance the ball further, and we both left the job shortly after due to a terrible regime change

Those non-cow milks costs them more.

so? it’s starbucks. they’ll be fine.

even lemmy has astroturfing. i guarantee reddit’s push to tighten API usage etc was partially to ensure only paid / approved astroturfing was possible

and it’s not even a functional dictatorship; meaningful bills get held up in the wheels of power for ages and ages, but they have the will to pass this grossly authoritarian bullshit within a week. sick.

if i’m not burning alive by 50 i’m gonna be really disappointed by all these headlines

can’t believe people’s insanely smug reaction to this. the government is banning an app that 100+ million americans use and presumably enjoy. that is insane, full stop.

so rather than running someone that could organically capture more of the gen z vote, they’re banning their most popular form of communication because the old man wanted another term. awesome

i started using tree style tabs which was absolutely life changing. best computer memory i’ve had in years, it’s a far more logical and space-friendly way to keep lots of tabs open and still be able to read the titles. i feel like specifically grouping adds too much overhead - i have to think about which group to put each into, and think (even a little bit) about where to find it later

posting works!!!

imagine coming up with this shit – you must know the evil you’re releasing upon the world. like even if you’re a shithead billionaire, if this god-awful mechanism were to take hold, it’d be annoying and awful for you too right?

seems like a lot of astroturfing on lemmy lately

EXACTLY

there’s just not enough in depth stuff on here. i love shitposts, i love memes, i love a chill tone. but we need people posting interesting posts, you know. i’m not even sure how to put my finger on what’s different or why, but there’s just less…stuff here. it needs to be seasoned, or something.
