You, an average person? Probably homeless after you offended the wrong rich person.
If you're rich though, you are immune to consequences.

Worse than that, Reddit banned all the NSFW subs from /all but DIDN'T ban the NSFL sub. So now instead of and unfiltered /all, with a mix of all the best everything, it's now a curated collection of no porn and the occasional gore.
Shouldn't the black king be on a white square and the queen on her own colour?
That and market share. Between 2007 and now, a website could reliably grow as new people got connected to the internet and as internet usage naturally grew. Up till recently, a large proportion of people either didn't use the internet at all, or had the internet, but didn't use much. Prior to 2020 I knew lots of friends and family who simply did not own a home computer or maybe had like one laptop for the whole family (and a bunch of phones).
During that era, the attention was all on getting new users in the door. Make a good, cheap/free product, and people will come.
But NOW, most people already are using the internet like 14+ hours a day and have become full netizens. If companies want to keep growing, they can't rely on new blood, they need to pivot to harvesting more from the people they already have.
My first thought was this was a punk thing, like, if you want to think of yourself as a bit rebellious you can buy the American phone instead of the phone made by the company that owns your nation.
They measure up to 4.0 metres (13 ft 1 in) long, weigh as much as 590 kilograms (1,300 lb)
Huh. Nope.
For a basement with a 5-inch slab and exterior walls are 8 inches, 8ft high and also concrete... Then 45 cubic meters is about what you'd need.
Of course, your basement walls are about as electrically grounded as it gets, so I doubt you'd be able to store power in them. One leak and you're discharging all that power into the groundwater.
Socialist and communist economies actually tend to grow faster and be more prosperous than Capitalist ones.... Until the US kills the government and blockades the ports.
The problem is that's literally just money laundering?
They are using a shell corporation and bullshit liscencing fee to cover over the fact that this transaction is and should be illegal.
Like, the idea here is that the church is not allowed to donate to a political figure, so they've set up a shell corp in the middle. The church pays $60 to the shell corp, who sends back 30 cents worth of paper, and then passes on 59.70 to Trump as a "licencing fee", which is obviously just going to be spent on his campaign.
Object oriented programming encourages a number of anti-patterns
I absolutely adore my Subaru CVT. The only things I dislike about it are how it has a bunch of fake crap to act more like a manual transmission.
I want my car to always be at peak power band when I stomp the pedal, CVT can do that and other transmissions can't.
Grocery stores know that when people are struggling to afford to eat, they try to save some money by going for the cheaper brands, which are typically owned by the store. Since the store control all the prices, they are able to jack up the price of everything, making their customers go "wow, food is expensive, better try to bargain hunt more", and suddenly you're not buying the competitor bread, now you're buying Western Family / No Name, and they profit both from the price hikes AND because they grow their market share on first-party goods.

It's fucked up that they are allowed to both make AND sell the same products on the same shelves as their competitor's goods, but that's because our antitrust sucks.
There is NO downside for the store when they make you starve, you still gotta eat to live so you'll pay anything, and these things are all owned by the same handful of megacorps.
Depends on your Instance looks like the defaults on lemmy.zip don't include much porn, so if you want it you gotta add it. My home instance is also pretty SFW as well.
The thing about Lemmy is that "all" means "everything that anyone on your home server has requested we federate to", so the "all" that someone hosted on Lemmy.nsfw sees will be a different "all" than someone on beehaw will see, because individual servers are free to choose not to make connections to other instances if they don't want to.
mynoise.net It's got a huge list of generators for all sorta of sounds, from soundscape and environmental noise like coffee shops, to musical instruments, to white/grey/pink noise, and all sort of other things.
There's nothing better for when my tinitis is acting up and I want to play some tonal drones, or I just want to get into a mood by mixing some Tibetan singing bowls and a rainforest, or maybe just play noise-blockers to help me focus.
No, you don't understand, that profit is for shareholders and executives. They were the ones that bravely cut lunch breaks and asked the staff to work harder, and they deserve the fruits of the staff's labour.
All the employees did was produce 100% of the value, but that's just their job. Can't go setting any precedents by rewarding them.
I'm pretty sure it was invented as a series of fairytales to get kids (and slaves) to shut up and obey their masters, with the threat that asking too many questions would get them tortured by a spooky ghost.
And then it got WAY out of hand
The people seeing furry porn are based in Lemmy.world or Lemmy.nsfw
Your instance, lemmy.ee, doesn't subscribe you to porn by default.
They were told the risks of pinning their entire political strategy and identity on one septuagenarian gameshow host, and did it anyway
