Ads are hell. Political ads are another level. I do my best to avoid em whenever possible. It just sucks to dwell on the state of politics in the US.

I think the election getting closer does this. Especially among American Communists who are going to be perpetually frustrated by the DNC and RNC media getting pumped at them.
I sympathize, but it is kind of annoying. Tho I think they see it as a form of agitprop to put politically minded “humor” (in quotes because it often isn’t even funny, it’s just pointing out the disconnect between messaging and action of the parties) in the eyes of a typically non-political audience.
Buddy if I buy Panther Marten lures off Ali Express or from Dicks they come from the same factory in the same packaging at the same quality, but one costs $1.12 and the other $7.99.
It’s being manufactured in China anyway, I’m just avoiding the beak wetting Dicks and Walmart do to pay their shareholders.
Plus it ain’t like the US actually has any qualms with slave labor, just look at all the industries that take advantage of prison labor in the States.
Bullshit! I wanna buy cheap fishing gear for a tenth of the cost at Dicks.
Better get some rods and reels en route before this goes into effect.
I’ve got a flagship Samsung device from 2020. The screen has cracked in an unimportant way on the front and over one of the camera housings on the back, but I can’t even tell which camera is affected by it, so I guess I didn’t need that one anyway.
Hate the camera bumps. Sucks that those became standard.
I was looking into getting a new phone but it just seems like a waste of money.
The Huawei devices look good and for a fair price, but I can’t even get them in the USA. So… I guess I keep this?
The foldable looks kinda useful for reading and in use with a stylus, but they’re so much money… and I bet that thing gets dust in it and scratches easily.
Have phones gotten any new exciting features in a while?
I remember enjoying upgrading my phone in the aughts and early tens, but it seems like most devices have plateaued and they’re all pretty much the same now.
The exception being foldables, but I’m not really sure that’s something I want or would use fully.
Go off!! Fucking rant about it!! Don’t bottle it up, say your stupid shit
Go off!! Write more stupid shit!! I loved the first post.
Name one of the clubs that forbid short men from entering. Like name one specific club. It shouldn’t be hard, you’ve experienced this personally and it’s “not uncommon” to hear these stories from others.
Name and shame one of these clubs
I mean, we can both come up with imaginary ADA violations.
It’s more accurate to say “in this US, this is fake”
Lmao what?? Where are these clubs that don’t permit short guys entry?
Bit dramatic but hey fair enough!
I dunno I think that’s a tad conspiratorial… lemmy is a pretty small audience upon which to launch state sponsored disinformation campaigns. It’s a far simpler explanation that it’s just some dork annoyed at bot comments, which makes sense tbh, it’s just easy to solve by blocking the bot.
I get it’s annoying to see a comment on almost every news article shared that contributes nothing to a conversation, but you can also just block the bot and be done with it.
I’m not sure why it’s enough of a bug bear to take even the short amount of time it took to make this image and post it.
Yah I think that’s a fair judgement as well
Yah I agree it’s a weak excuse and that Black probably has enough cash.
But I also imagine the reasoning behind this response is prolly something close to what I posted.
I think people who have a media based existence have to be more mindful of this kind of thing, because, like it or not, appropriate or not, it can have very serious effects on their livelihoods.
We all suffer a bit of this at work. There are things we avoid saying to our coworkers, bosses, customers and clients, etc. What is and isn’t okay to say changes based on the nature of our employment. I can’t tell my boss he’s a stupid sac of shit for mismanaging a product launch in spite of my recommendations. For Tenacious D, it very much can be shit like this.
Kinda makes you glad you live a normal life where you can say normal things without it being an issue.
The wealth would be nice, tho.
Thank goodness the program told me I have value after Tyler stopped replying once I showed him my asshole.
