Exactly, there was a social contract where we would exchange watching ads for consuming the following product without additional charges. Those days are mostly gone and you have to pay to get in the door, watch and ad and the product has enshitifies to the point of usually not being worth it. Ad block and cable cutting has been a method to claw that back to a fairer exchangr, or atleast give the consumer some negotiation power in that dynamic. However its just created a game of cat and mosue between those who wish to consume your attention and people who dont want sponsored shit beamed into their brain space.

You just pointed out all the things 47, and his handlers, alone are doing, validating his reality. The overwelming majority of people are carrying on with normal lives, normal job. You are going to solve none of those problems, but it is our duty to help those who need it and draw attention to injustice where it is found.

Points 2/3 were validated this sub, not 3 posts ago when a guy resisted arrest by just sitting down and refusing to move. Made a scene about it, but thats what your supposed to do. The thugs in masks just left after a crowd gathered. The point is this new wave of feds are not the best and brightest.

Furthermore, if you escalate, your giving the enemy what they want. DCs escalation was predicated of some shitheel from DOGE getting beat up. Do not give them the ammunition to spin a narrative.

Noone is doing so because they know thats what 47 wants. He wants an escalation, to send in the troops, to have his night of broken glass. Instead cities and citizens are resisting without hurting the thugs the feds hired and they are failing publicly to detain large people who just sit down (because all the fit and smart officers are not supporting this) and hippies in frog costumes. The feds and their leaders look like fools (and they are), I would cap this off with an emporer Nero joke, but the country is not on fire (it has its problems, but they are fixable) and I dont think he could play any instrument with his fat tiny hands anyway.

Im more suprised that you didnt double take about the US trying to fight a giant bird (and losing).

<3 love our friends from the land down under, that history bit is just so funny.

I raise thee...

Wowhead

I had a friend involved in the hunt for this... Was a sight to behold and the look of disbelief when the devs called them on their obsession.

Actually less and for a good reason, the doom scroll is not endless.

We have a fraction of the population and a few good posts and discussions on the places I have not blocked. Over all its a lot healthier and I still get my fix of feeling informed-ish. Also Jeboa does not display total votes an account gets meaning there is no "must have X karma to ride" pages that, while attempting to remove bots (it didnt), fills a room with crowd pleasers instead of those seeking discussion or answers.

How is this different from the Lemmy devs, who are known to be pretty political? I was under the impression we were mostly fine seperating the program from the programmer, or is this situation different?

Mandalore Gaming just did his review of it as well. Its fresh in a lot of peoples brain space.

I dont have issues with math, its helpful for [gestures broadly to everything].

You are right, how it was taught in schools (US) is a miserable failure. A focus on practical applications so the people can do their taxes and budgeting, understand probability and how statistics are used in reporting (and how they are misused), and spending more time on the metric system would go a long way.

Yah... Another casualty of the Netflix.

You know you messed up when the biggest fanboy of the IP (who is built like a greek statue) wants to play the main character, and then walks away because they feel that the producers are no longer adapting the thing they were a fan of and are off writing their own fanfic.

Modern SMS systems wont arbitrarily reply with read-reaponsed, you can be confident the technology isnt the issue.

As for the rest of the post, from this brief response I can only judge so much. If your fishing for a second opinion, this person seems pretty toxic, act on that how you will, if you have the means to not be around them.

I understood that reference.
