Sure.

Ah right, sorry for the mixup then

Yeah I will say I once got a temp ban comment removal from a community cause I said “I wish I had the type of OCD that made someone put extra small details on their dwarf cosplay” it was marked as an ableist slur.

And yet most of the comments in here are talking about doctors appointments and going out for dinner. I am confusing it but it seems I’m not alone in that.

We are not in the right crowd to organize a strike, which would be better with actual business owners involved, but I understand we should get what we can.

Why is it so bad to take an honest look at what we are trying to accomplish and our methodology? I thought Lemmy liked science and actual data. I’m peer reviewing this so we can adjust the methodology and try to focus better.
I want to succeed I am just not gonna pretend we get there without effort.

Don’t fake it. Be honest.

I dunno, that has been what I have been doing and nothing kills the light in their eyes like honesty.

I think you are ascribing a lot more importance to 10% than economists and capitalists do.

Nearly 60% of of day to day spending is by the top percentage of the wealthiest. I am trying to be a realist here. The bottom 60% of Americans make up about 20% of the spending, 10% participation would be about a 4% change in profit which recent Tariffs have been higher and more impactful.
It is not a good idea to keep purposefully missing while the enemy isn’t wasting their shots. Cause they are landing most of theirs.

The problem with a “shot across the bow” is that to the enemy it can just look like you are missing and wasting ammo.

Don’t ask for a Superman. They don’t exist.
We do things as a community and a collective, its the only way it works.

Yes, and the people that think its a good idea to order something with same day delivery from amazon in a snow storm are probably the same ones that will ignore the call for a strike.
We have to ignore the outliers we can’t get, but we nees to understand that The System at large will ignore our outliers as well. A one day strike that has less impact than a storm physically blocking streets will be seen as an outlier.
Not a dig, but just a fact.

The winter storm that pushed people inside for 2 days has more impact than a single day purchase blackout.

If a country can shrug of massive storms and fires… I just don’t know what message this is actually supposed to send.
We seem to want instant gratification to work in the real world, we want a lack of suffering and to make it as quick and easy as possible.

If you have an addiction you don’t lose it in a day. In Shawshank redemption, Andy Dufresne doesnt get to leave out the front door, he has to crawl through a river of shit to come out clean the other side.
We have a river of shit to wade through, I think we need to come to terms with that.

I have a conspiracy theory that the DNC are just conservatives who made the most financial decision of socially supporting the smallest minority they could find for PR.

I mean… Does the mom know they are a terminally online shitposter? If they are a 4channer there is a non zero chance they are waiving all those flags unironically.

They just don’t make relatable children’s shows like they used to.

Oh then you haven’t even had it long enough to hate it cause an update has wiped out wifi for some reason.
But yeah actually the fricking snap store sucks more day to day. I have no idea what it does if I have to use command line the whole time I haven’t found out how to update apps otherwise.

But no, so, I think we are both like 10+ years behind “usable” linux. Cause I am seeing so many people talk about mint or bazzite. I think we are just like on the jalopy of Linux. Old, and gets the job done but not the new hotness.

I think we both chose wrong with Ubuntu. Nothing but problems as well but people I know on bazzite have never once complained about things breaking the way it does for me on Ubuntu.

I think they thought this was rust.

I had a nonstick coated pan that looked like this… It was definitely time to throw it away and I keep having to wait for my prince in seasoned aluminum pan comes my way

Can we please stop reposting this exact same misleading article from 2025?

Funny enough that is how you cure lactose intolerance.

This is so fucked, the comments are so fucked and I’m lying down because I laughed to hard.

I mean I get it. Weird to have a private company walking monitoring device that proudly does so so they can… Upload more to social media? It just sorta marks you as a hyper user and in the past we would have doubted those types even came outside.
Like I would pair it with the people who have only clothes and decorated with souvenir items from some random brand. It IS a weird look.

But unfortunately Flock exists and they are everywhere, spun up in seconds with cameras just running light and are even easily hacked. So like privacy wise its less a concern but personally… Definitely not a fan and I get uncomfortable around them. I don’t want to be used for content or actively sold by you just for being near.
