That's not the point

There are easier and better ways to accrue power than running for President. Most candidates want to serve the country, trump obviously excluded.

I'm looking forward to the niche communities being active. Some of them are starting to pick up a bit.

Unless the EU makes them, they're not adopting rcs. I could see them putting out an imessage app for Android though. Probably ad supported to make the experience extra shitty for us. They'd quickly own the messaging market, at least in the US.

The response from CCDH is savage -

Trump

Dealer markups the last few years have pushed significant market share to fixed price sales like tesla, polestar, and rivian. I ended up with a polestar after I couldn't find a Ford Mach E, hyundai ioniq5 or VW ID4 without markup. Are we supposed to feel sorry for them when they have inventories building up?

The "it'll cost you a bazillion dollars to replace your battery" thing is stupid. Most batteries will last as long as the car.

There was a lot of talk about Fark on Digg, and about Digg on reddit. It's just the Circle of Life.

Settle down, it was a joke

It makes it easy to know which articles I don't need to bother reading

Holy shit this is stupid. These people were forcibly taken from their homes, stacked like wood in the holds of ships where many of them died, then treated worse than animals when they got here. So no, that wasn't a benefit.

Sounds like you're from Florida though

I see "brutally shot down", I think oh good. Then I see it's from Newsweek and I roll my eyes.

Boost

I think the moderna dosing is still double the pfizer dose. So I think it's always caused a larger immune response. Ibuprofen will deal with most of those symptoms if you're really not feeling good.

I met the people responsible for his incarceration. They have staff with him all the time so he's not isolated. They have to rotate those staff out every six months because he's so evil and toxic.

So definitely not rehabilitated.

Truthiness

This is why only rich people that don't give a shit about normal people end up in Congress. Regular people can't afford to be in Congress.

It's probably unrealistic to expect it to be as solid as it was as a reddit app. I loved boost and I'm sure I'll try it out, but I'm expecting it to be buggy and not as fully featured as Voyager, which I keep coming back to. Connect and Thunder are great too.

Yeah no problem with my liberal friends here. I don't think it's your gender causing your problems

That's not what nefarious means.

adjective: nefarious (typically of an action or activity) wicked or criminal. "the nefarious activities of the organized-crime syndicates"

Who am I to argue with a gaylord_fartmaster?

My fellow Windscribe VPN users are downloading some freaky shit.

That's not the solution

His last post was about adding more admins to the instance. So it didn't seem like he was going to abandon it.

Probably would have made sense to use his real name (Steve Huffman) in the title, Mr Jackmeehoff

I'm really starting to hate it, but really don't want to go back to Reddit. Every post about Israel and capitalism makes me want to quit. I wish there was a better alternative.

It was a lot like a proto reddit. They made a bunch of changes to monetize and there was a mass exodus to reddit

You started a new account so you can keep posting this shit in here? You really do have a weird fetish, you weird fuck.

And why are people upvoting this weirdo's shit?

Well that seems to have gone over your head

Maybe they could have given that to their troops instead...nah Lil Kim probably needs it more

I'm talking tankies, hatred for Israel, hatred for cars, hatred for landlords/renting, and evangelism for Linux.

That's a good summation

I liked squabbles, but it has the same vulnerabilities as reddit or any other social networking site. Lemmy appealed to me because of it's decentralized, federated nature.

Any headline that includes "roasted" or "slammed" or anything similar is rarely worth reading.

Because it makes for a more clickbaity headline

Don't be sad, just get to scritching

I tried going back for a while, but when I couldn't connect on VPN, I left again.

For many (most?) people, a phone gets a lot more use than a laptop

So you're not really asking a question, just making a vague point?

No, no real human can become as capable as James Bond or John Wick even if they dedicate 24/7 to it.
