Americans have not had it hard in a long time. No world wars have been fought on our soil. The wars we have been in since WW2 have not been very popular. I grew up gen X and we pretty much thought the world was going to end and that the previous generations handed us a pile of shit.

The kids now days look at all of us like a bunch of hypocritical ass hats. If I was a kid watching the shit adults are doing and talking about now, I would not be proud either. I would be embarrassed. I am embarrassed of what we have/are becoming. A lot of older people sit around and bitch about the younger generation but we are the ones that raised them. We are the ones not taking care of business like we told them they should. We are the ones babbling nonsense, disrespecting the law, doing all the things we told our kids not to do. Why the hell should they listen, or be proud or form the same values as we may have? We are literally showing them that none of this matters and then turn around and blame them for telling us all to fuck off.

Fuck you. I hate you all.

Just kidding. I like it here. Sometimes a little boring but maybe that is a good thing. I have plenty of things to do. This is a nice break and not stressful like some other sites.

If she has a winnable case, the D. is fuuuuuucked.

I dont even want to talk to half the people I know anymore lol. I stopped using FB but keep it running because there are many years of pics and what not for family. And when I bring it down people freak out and think something is wrong with me. Other than that, it has been stripped of any identifying information, only has people I know and I never use it anymore. That was the only real 'personal' place I had on the internet. Everything else is fake names and whatnot, always has been.

Not sure what this place will evolve in to but it seems like a nice replacement for Reddit. There is a lot of work to be done for people to re-build the communities and transfer the information but if enough people buy in to it... years down the road this could be the place to be.

Lemmy and Mastodon require some extra thought processes that most people do not want or can't work through. They want instant, fast and as much of it as possible.

Somehow this has to become so easy to understand and use that even the dimmest bulbs in society will have no trouble using it.

Upside? This will bring more usage and adoption. Downside? This will bring in more trash.

I have no idea why he is even there. As far as I can tell it is just because of his last name. Why is anyone listening to him or care what he has to say? I can't even get passed that part.

This cheap little indoor drone while working from home during COVID to mess around with on breaks and lunch. Turned out to be a ton of fun and in to a full blown FPV drone hobby/obsession.

Missouri is one of the worst states ever. I found nothing good there. The people can't even drive.

I am white but born and raised in a pacific islander nation around pacific islanders. There are no men on the planet more manly and tough than pacific islanders IMO. But they are also humble, caring, giving, loving, respectful and in general some of the best people you will ever meet in this life. Piss them off and watch a real warrior comes out.

This weird American macho thing is not tough at all. To me I just see a bunch of weak posers that if called out by a real man, most would cry and beg to not get beat.

Every state has its good and bad. We are out of control with the gun thing. There is a higher chance you will get shot and killed while minding your own business in America than most other countries. We are selfish and not much unity unless you are on one side or there and even then, we have become stupid and gullible. We are violent. We are much more violent in general than anyone I have ever encountered in other countries. Maybe England, but even there, it is not the same. Americans have no problem straight up killing each other. We are getting worse.

Is America great? Depends on who you ask. Is America a place where you still have some opportunities to make a better life for yourself. Sure. But it is not the same as that the pamphlet sold to everyone else. We are far from perfect and in many cases, other countries do things better.

Having said that, it is cool. Just keep your eyes open and pay attention.

American's are caught up in so much BS that doesn't matter. We aren't even capable of focusing on what does matter. All the facts are right there in front of us but we ignore them. We are turning away from science and returning to superstition and religious fanaticism. This whole republic/democracy experiment thing needs competent, clear thinking people to keep it together. It doesnt matter if they are believers or not, they just need to be sane. There seems to be less and less of those people running around or at least speaking up about it. If we keep going down the road we are going now, there is no hope for us. We may have already lost the battle and just dont realize it yet.

They go where nobody is going to give them any resistance. Try come doing that shit in my neighborhood and see how it goes. We all know what we have to do to stop them. The sooner we stop bitching and whining about it and start doing it the better off we will be.

That is what they have to prove. Will have to see.

People have become more open to "testing the waters" of other apps. Sure they are still using Reddit and Twitter etc... but many have also started playing with lemmy, mastodon etc... I have no idea where this will end up but there is a shift of willingness to try something else and that is good start.

They gimped it for the masses but AI is going strong. There is no question of the power of GPT4 and others. LLM's are just a part of the big picture.

I got one to print parts for my drones thinking it would be no big deal and it turned in to a hobby in itself.

I am a straight guy and I don't want to know what anyone is doing in bed at night. Straight, bi, gay, whatever. There are so many other issues in my life that are more important than the size of some other dude's penis. I don't care and don't want to hear it. I am not trying to be a porn star, this does not concern me. Aside from that, be as fabulous or boring as you want in life, I don't care, more power to you. It makes my life more interesting, full and well rounded to know you. Even you boring ones.

But these guys seem to be obsessed and weird about it. Caught between trying to use the hatred towards these people to their advantage but coming off looking like total freaks. Or maybe they really are, all just total weirdos.

Perfect example as to why you don't use the same password for every account you create on the internet. And use the same email address for everything you do. And like to use the same username on every site you sign up for.

Yep... still much more active and more content there. I think Lemmy is great but Lemmy still has a long way to go.

Yes... even there, it has been colonized and the real power lies in the hands of rich white people who are not from the land. The whole colonization experience that nations all over the world have experienced though time has happened there too. Whether by complete genocide or by slowly taking over, using blood quantum and other things. It is genocide.

I have added Mullvad browser to the mix. It's pretty good.

This cheap little indoor drone while working from home during COVID to mess around with on breaks and lunch. Turned out to be a ton of fun and in to a full blown FPV drone hobby/obsession.

I think the key will be the adoption of all the sub-reddits coming here and producing the same quality content they do there.

You don't know what you are talking about.

A little slower, but nothing. Mullvad is pretty good. A mix of Firefox and Tor.

I am honestly not a happy man if I can't walk around in board shorts with no shirt all day long.

To elaborate.... Need as in some kind of self defense scenario or even as a survivalist. There are 4 firearms I would probably want to have, each having a specific purpose. But that is it. Having 47 is like a cat lady or something. To me it is weird and unnecessary.

This is America, I have no problem with people owning guns. I support gun restrictions and the banning of automatic assault rifles as well. That is common sense to me.

47.... the cheapest one was probably 500$ or so. This is fetish. What the hell are you going to do with them all? I can think of 3 or 4 models I need and the rest of my stockpile just needs to be ammo for them.

I have gotten pretty good at it. Mostly in to freestyle and cinematic stuff. Never really got in to the racing aspect of it.

Tell my brain that.

Lemmy still has a small user base compared to sites like Reddit. Some of those features came out of managing huge user bases. And naturally when you have a huge userbase, you have people wanting to make money. Some honestly, some not. The site itself sees the potential to make money. Over time good intentions tend to melt away and the demons run amok.

The trick will be if places like Lemmy and Mastadon and whatever are able to over come this and remain pure.

I don't operate that way. Kinda sketchy that so many do.

I know some punchy english dudes but yeah, you right. Nothing like America.

I only use it for things like guards, wire/cap/cameral holders... gopro case... things like that. but the frames are all carbon fiber. There are templates to print the entire drone out off the printer but I have not done that.

You can get the electronics pretty cheap. It might be a fun project for you :)

I wouldn't say worst because it is a beautiful drive but it is gnarly.... the road to Hana on the island of Maui, in the Nation of Hawaii (currently occupied by the United States).

Dickhead?

Bottom line is it is a good browser and faster than most if not all the others I have tried. Certainly faster than Firefox and Mullvad. If you don't like the add's turn them off. If you dont like the wallet and other stuff, dont use them. It is easy to ignore that stuff. Nothing in that article makes me want to stop using it.
