I long for the era when fans who were asked if they would swallow future exclusivity deals would stare blankly and say, Wat?

Return of the Return of the Living Dead?
Seems like many people genuinely long for some kind of massive cataclysm that creates a Mad Max world. Kind of reminds me of some notable WWI veteran saying something like he rather enjoyed it. The difference is that he was looking back on stuff he'd actually done, and most of the people fantasizing are wannabees who wouldn't last 5 minutes if the real thing happened.
What does it mean for Lemmy communities to be partners? I mean, most of them on the list seem related to Today I Learned, but there's also Jokes, Comedy Heaven and Lemmy Shitpost. Not putting those communities down, but what does the partnering mean?
We're not good with it and we hope it's not too late to turn it around. And no, I don't know how so there's no point asking me.
Right now I'd call my mood more embarrassed than patriotic.
It has a mildly sweet taste and also causes brain damage
Well... but so does Jack Daniel's. Interestingly, the Romans were aware of the dangers of lead poisoning, including that it could cause madness - which they called "plumbism" (plumbum being the Latin word for lead). Kind of like we know about the dangers of alcohol, flavored sugar water, and many other things we consume wantonly. Like us, they apparently just didn't GAF.
Yeahhh, even if the evidence suggests otherwise, might as well cry SLAVES! cuz maybe there were - and possible evil should be called out even if we don't know, right? Unless you ever innocently go to prison for being Probably guilty. But oh well.
Dunno what you mean by adjust, but if it were me I would just take it down since it just doesn't apply to the situation. The response comments are probably enough context.
Another Kirk POV: Watching a Beastie Boys song destroy a fleet of alien vessels... Realizing you were playing the same song when you drove your big brother's Corvette off a cliff as a kid.
Expecting people to know about that 99-1 vote might be misplaced optimism, since it hasn't been made into a meme yet.
I'm confused - by Abbot do you mean Gov. Abbott of Texas, and are we talking about the same issue? Cuz the 99-1 vote was about a senate bill regarding AI. Greg Abbott can't vote on senate bills, and there's no senator named Abbot.
