What the fuck I thought Super PACs were not allowed to coordinate with the candidate...right? ....right? It's paying his fucking legal bills how is that not a violation? Oh that's right because it's a fucking corrupt bullshit concept. The supreme court's awful Citizens United ruling completely fucked over this country.

Pretty badass move.

Glad to see more reporting on this. The way they swapped out Roiland's voice in Solar Opposites was absolutely perfect, it really hasn't lost anything imo.

You're perfectly welcome to dissent, and also reap the consequences of that dissent.

Whataboutism....

I think the gist is Mueller investigated Trump and the shady Russia stuff and had enough to charge him with obstruction but did not due to DOJ policy (to not charge a sitting president). He laid out a plan for congress to do something about it, congress impeached but the GOP controlled Senate blocked it.

So I guess some of that could be dug up? But there are bigger fish to fry now, considering the current indictments.

When I've checked the front page it's like 15 year humor has taken over. R/unexpected top post was some dumb "NSFW" gif with a breakup and a girl saying how she loved a dude and him saying she didn't give him pussy, "🤦so cringe. All my subs were borked, not worth the effort to rebuild, I'd rather build new in lemmy.

Agreed. Only took the EU a couple decades to tell cellphone manufacturers (Apple) to use a standard plug.

Better than a shit in your mouth? I don't have to be excited to vote for a lemon but I sure as fuck will to avoid a mouth full of shit. Oh and the reality of what a republican pres will do to the environment.

It's like email, I have yahoo, you have gmail, your grandma has aol. Each is their "home" instance but they can all talk to each other. They're not in a walled garden and can only talk to themselves like whatsapp or reddit or twitter etc. Fediverse is an open platform and lemmy is a reddit-like part of it. Mastodon is a twitter-like part of it. Sync does do a great job, no need to make head go ouchie.

I hopped over from Mastodon.world Ruud does a great job with that one so made sense to join his lemmy instance

Hung around at the bar after small concert, my wife and I started talking about the show with a woman next to us. Then the front-man of the band walks up and we all talk but he and the woman are flirting heavily. Turns into us walking out to go grab a drink at another bar, not that it was sketchy or anything but she indicates she won't go without her new friends (us). Except we couldn't really find a bar, it was some generic family restaurant that served beer so we're sitting across from each other with our beers and the singer and the lady are whispering and making out with each other. It was not make-out vibes in this family restaurant, and they weren't even that drunk, but whatever. Pretty weird night.

Oof Google that name and you get basically zero trustworthy news articles either way. Does "purportedly" even count when it's from twitter? Sounds terrible but I'll wait for a real source

Love obsidian. For something as simple as what OP is asking for though I just use Google Keep

Yeah so this article just parroting Russia's propaganda. 👎

After some light searching, am I missing something? I don't see n100 cheaper than rpi 5

That LOOONG ARM thumbnail freaked me out for a second.

Good on her fighting Florida's bullshit, long arm or no.

I like that even if Google does something I don't like I can install my own launcher. Or buy a different device, apple is apple and you better be happy with what they want you to want.

Thank you for calling out thehill's bullshit

He really is being held to a totally different standard by the media and the cut off their nose to spite their face far left.

Let's say it's my religion that I think you should not be allowed to drive because I don't like you. Now let's say I work at the DMV and you walk up, should I be allowed to deny you a license because it's my religion?

And they consider the creator beating the level from another wii u not a legitimate clear.

Same. I'm desperately hoping the Sync for reddit developer goes through with an app for federated, I think he mentioned lemmy.

Good tip, thanks. I think it would also be nice for people to sort by New and up/down vote to push more stuff to the Top lists.

Exactly. Also helps me to think gen Z is coming up and replacing all those dead Republicans.

I'll see major swings in the algorithm from time to time (a week of bass guitar video recommendations for some reason), but I can usually trace back a video or two that I watched that it just decided to try and cram the topic down my throat. I would just say make sure you keep avoiding the conservative vids to try and get the recommendations to stop. I wonder if maybe one of your kids is watching videos on your account and skewing it?

Imo quality engagement comes from quality moderating. Facebook has a lot of moderators but they don't give a shit about community and their focus is purely monetization. Reddit used to care about community but we know how that went. Lemmy has a chance to get it right. But even if an instance fucks it up the platform is open and gives us options for other communities within the platform.

What would you say are your top 2-3 reasons you like it?

I meant I googled the name of the person the tweet called out. Not much out there from verified sources is what I was saying. I think a paid for twitter check is probably a negative in the trustworthy dept. Thanks for the extra info though. It just all seems to be a one sided narrative at this point.

Mother Mother. Pretty small then. It was amusingly weird. We ended up going back to the venue and everyone went home and front-man got on the road.

Chicken divan. Delicious stuff, easy to make, give it a shot if it looks good to you.

He probably gets off from that.

The main subs I cared about are still down so my homepage sucks. r/Costco came back and yeesh the morons in there exactly like OP's were so bad it seems like astroturfing. Probably just me trying to assume the community couldn't be that toxic. I'll stick with lemmy, just doesn't seem like good social networks can last under a for profit company.

One thing I think about though is all the extra maintenance that goes into having a gas engine. It would be nice to commit and have the easier future maintenance.
