Decided to check in on you after Biden's performance at the debate, and I find you getting utterly trounced by someone who seems to be fully on the level. If you can't understand why someone would be at least hesitant to support Genocide Joe (while fully acknowledging that Genocide Donald is our only other option), I just can't take you seriously.

If something is marketed as "unlimited", I don't think there is such a thing as "wildly excessive use". This isn't a competitive eater going to an all-you-can-eat buffet and being mad about getting kicked out. It's a business using a service in a way that's seemingly in-line with what they paid for.

News outlets, I implore you, please start writing articles and stop just posting videos.

Now hold on, is funding the IRA on the table?

People who watch the video early mark where the ad is.

Genuinely curious if this applies to moron and idiot, since they have basically the same origin story.

Biden has been as milquetoast as possible. The fact that the right is becoming more and more unhinged only shows how off the rails they are.

This is racist and xenophobic. Undeniably so.

It's not extreme to recognize that a US-backed apartheid state is running an extermination campaign against a marginalized group. While a small number of Palestinians are members of Hamas, that doesn't give Israel the right to commit genocide. Not that they've needed "the right" to do so for the past 70 years.

I mean, the fact they rolled it back and didn't just add an error message telling you to use Chrome is a little surprising.

You don't commit suicide AT work unless you have a bone to pick.

It would have been better to simply not reply, rather than this woe-is-me persecution complex thing.

As a great etymologist once said, "it's never an acronym."

I think you've completely missed the point. It is in bad faith, and the fact that people get mad about it demonstrates Christian hypocrisy.

Immigration is good. Unprovoked aggression is bad. It's not hard

The last time this was posted, people were speculating that Apple does donation matching for employees, so they only did this unconsciously.

It was a joke. Well, sort of. A true joke, if you will.

I think there's a perception of preaching to the choir here. A vanishingly small percentage of Lemmy users would ever vote for Trump, and Biden is just the default other option. You don't need to convince someone not to eat a turd, but if the other option is to just eat a smaller turd, it's fair to focus your efforts on getting people to opt out entirely.

FWIW, I will be voting, even though my vote is electorally useless, but I understand not wanting to cosign the actions of either septuagenarian genocide supporter.

Secondary Fun Fact: It was created by a franchise owner, against the wishes of CEO Ray Kroc, who had created a sandwich with grilled pineapple as a meat substitute for that purpose.

My dream is for Spotify (and other music playing apps) to let you customize your shuffle algorithm. Minimum number of songs between repeating an artist or album, that sort of thing.

I think we need to dust off the "How to Orchestrate a Coup" playbook.

God, I fucking hate Ernest Cline.

It's weird how I have no idea what side you're on.

Unequivocally no.

I don't care if she tours or not, but I know for a fact my favorite bands either rent a bus or fly commercial.

Somebody can't read...

Psst, I think they're being sarcastic

If cartoons taught me anything about how to determine the sex of chickens, they've got 4 in that picture.

Literally yes. It's called punching up, and it's pretty well accepted, culturally. It's basically the only trade-off to being vastly more likely to achieve economic and societal status.

The band needs to be a flexible metal so that enough pressure is applied to the ear pads. If they were floppy, you wouldn't hear them very well.

And it's silly, since the Democrats barely support any policies that could be called left-wing.

I always figured the point of tracking her, just like Musk, was commentary on the incredible waste that is the private jet industry. The politics of the person matter far less than the environmental consequences of their actions.

I liked Liftoff, but as a Boost diehard, I'm happy to give the guy a couple bucks and pay him more than he would ever make from ads served to me. No skin off my nose.

It is

As an American, you're being silly. You've heard of the Silk Road? The Mediterranean? The Old World has been rubbing shoulders with each other since 4000+ years ago. We just got here in comparison.

I initially upvoted this comment, but since every other comment you've made is weird and combative, you've somehow made me stop agreeing with you. It's an odd feeling.

Outline to me exactly what the problem is with her having a side hustle.
