Hopefully this means I can fix my elite controller’s fucky LB button. Have to press it ridiculously hard for it to register

Nah, this is Lemmy

Same here, I still don’t create new posts much but I’m definitely commenting more often, which I hardly ever did on Reddit. It feels like conversations are more real on here, and less gets lost in the noise of thousands of comments per thread

It’ll come, Lemmy is growing steadily. In the meantime, be the change you want to see and help produce content

I’m so far below $1k that it isn’t a worry, it’s only small dollar items. That and they aren’t catching me every time, even with all the cameras. Even if they did know every single time I “missed” an item at self check out, I’d be surprised if I’d taken more than $100 of food by now. That and they’d have a hard time proving it was intentional every time and not a simple mistake.

It’s become like a hobby of mine to not pay for a single item every time I check out at Walmart or Kroger. Fuckers have their margins higher than ever and their starting pay is $12-14/hr. If they want to reduce theft then they can hire people to actually work some of the 20 empty check out lanes they have.

I havnt worked retail in years, but I have a recurring fantasy of printing off memes like this one and planting them around the local Walmart, Kroger, Home Depot etc… It wouldn’t amount to much, which is partly why I haven’t, but I’d like to think it might open the eyes of one or two people.

If you’re still using Reddit, please be a homie and spread the fediverse gospel

Wikipedia is funded via donations, de-centralized social media could be too

Yeah I didn’t really think it through, you’re right.

Would I be worth it/possible to basically copy all of Reddit’s content into Lemmy? Most of Reddit’s usefulness to me is that practically any problem I encounter, I google google the question + Reddit and find a post with the answers I need. I’m sure I’ll be able to do that with Lemmy in a few years but for now 🤷‍♂️
