I paid off my student loan debt and still want to see loan forgiveness. Why should people have to suffer just because I did? Straight up evil.

Are you younger than the lower 50s? I'm not and downvoted you. You should be ashamed.

It has been common in other parts of the Fediverse - Mastodon for example.

"lack of"

Those other users are free to make their own subs?

r/meditation. I went there for mindfulness techniques (am atheist) and guided recommendations. This past year it started to evolve into a strange mix of gatekeeping and outright fighting. Drama and argumentative attitudes in a meditation sub...

The very concept of "freedom" has been twisted by conservative media and church leaders into a tool of oppression.

"sriracha" sauce is pretty easy to make. It's a garlic & pepper sauce w/vinegar, salt, and sugar. Fermented if you prefer but not necessary.

Welcome to kbin and the fediverse.

Why do we even give a shit about Hunter Biden? Is he or was he in office? Was he on his dad's presidential staff?

They believe "separation" is a misinterpretation or something.

I'm jealous. I feel trapped in this red state shithole.

Thinks seem to be picking up in the Threadiverse, so something definitely changed. It's nowhere near Reddit levels of activity but getting better. Personally, my 12 year account is now gone which is significant for me.

Oh no. Anyway, I'm in dowtown Reno today and my stomach is rumbling. Where should I go eat?

I play games that are available on Linux via Steam. Not as hardcore as I used to be, though.

The utopian dream of the internet as the great equalizer and "Information wants to be free!" is dead.

Congrats on taking the step. I axed my 12-year old account at the start of all this. I've had moments where I doubted that decision, sure, but the fediverse does seem to be growing. There's more and more activity every day.

bring your liberal community with you

Is that easy to do?

Still full-time remote. The traditionally California-based company I work for is now spread out across the US - not sure how they could even reel that back in.

I don't achievement hunt but getting one that 0.5% of players achieve feels good. One in particular is "Humble Pie" in Stellaris.

Humiliate an Empire that is in the Supremacy Diplomatic Stance, forcing them out of it

I was picturing a dino dive bar full of black t-shirt clad gonkoken nanoi milling around before the band comes on.

“The thing that warms my heart the most,” he told me, “is people who say, ‘I’m an atheist, agnostic, or I left the church or I left religion. But this is the kind of Christianity I can believe in.’”

Um no... but it is the kind I can live with.

The guy the quote in the article is definitely a believer in make-believe fantasy land nonsense. Look up Claver Kamau-Imani.

Am I the only one that could care less about LLM "assistants"?

Edit: I'm sure I just need to experience the right moment with the correct tool... right?

I left several months ago due to the spam. Got that old Reddit itch so came back. Looks bleak.

Close call and not how I expected this to go.

I don't even get that. Just an immediate login prompt without being able to see anything underneath.

1. Invest in company's stock
2. Wage a culture war boycott on company
3. Company's stock tanks due to boycott
4. Sue company for stock tanking

Makes perfect..... sense?

I enjoy feeling smarter than billionaires. Up until recently there was an aura of mythological proportions around them. Turns out, their dumber than most of us.

That censorship and ideological control works?

Desperately. Imagine someone coming in here that's not as dumb as this person. @snarf

This is wild. I was at the first QuakeCon, when it was called #quakecon and we were playing the Quake 1 test (aka Qtest).

Is there something I can read instead of giving some jackass a view on Youtube?

The lame attempt at retaliation for the former president facing consequences.

And these folks are the bread and butter for the abortion industry

Lie. Back that up with something. There is no abortion industry. There is a right-wing propaganda industry, though. Sounds like you're a customer.

not using contraceptives or having a contraceptive failure

The contraceptives that religous extremists try to limit or ban. You think we don't see this shit?

It's okay, the GOP hates you, anyone not-GOP, and any Republican not absolutely loyal to the insurrectionists and stop-the-steal liars.

No, it's "IF YOU HAVE A PENIS GET THE FUCK OUT OF TELLING WOMEN WHAT TO DO WITH THEIR BODIES". End of story, get it through your thick dumbass skull.

It's nothing more than a way to ban/imprison whoever they want.

The guy in the quote is all-in on sky magic. Look him up.

I don't see Politifact saying "the left" is "against protecting children". That's all you and the twisting of the narrative.
