I’m fortunate that I don’t struggle with food/weight.
I miss those days.

Who’d have thunk that 2000 years of conflict was all a misunderstanding about spelling…
then I’m so stuffed I feel sick
A lesson I learned too late in life, and will often still ignore is:
“Eat to fuel, not to fill.”
I’m feeling very attacked right now.
Point to a group that cannot defend itself and people will vote in your favor
“If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.” – Lyndon Johnson.
Still ultimately Conservative policy to this day.
That’s an interesting tactic I hadn’t considered; that what few sane republicans remain after January will simply skip the vote in order to try to keep Dime-Store Musollini in check.
The current audience for Lemmy/Fediverse is a niche group. This group highly prefers linux. It cares (and knows about) federation. It cares about adblocking. It highly prefers political discussions. It cares about privacy.
But it’s not, actually. The instances you choose tend to federate with similar instances while the instances for the people who are not like that, are just not shown to us as a group. And I’m perfectly fine with that. Does it make Lemmy a bubble to some degree…sure. And are the vast majority of instances exactly as you describe…yes, I’m not denying that.
But outside of our circle of instances, there are hundreds of little instances that are just for themselves; their family groups, their workplaces, their DnD Campaign, etc… We don’t see them because we aren’t federated with them, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist.
Lemmy is more than just where we sit, typing away at each other. Lemmy is the technology itself, and it’s used in far more places than just our little bubble of politically minded privacy respecting tech nerds.
Edited: Heck, I’d be willing to be you that somewhere out there right now, there is a dark-universe Lemmy made up of all the Nazi, right-wing instances that federate with each other, and we would just never see them in our feeds because that’s the beautiful thing about federation/defederation.
It’s pretty simple really. How about foreign countries don’t let unvaxxed people in. Not for vacations, not for business, not for anything. U.S. wants to be morons, let them be morons inside their own borders.
Even the big guy needs middle-management sometimes.
Or…hear me out here…maybe we could try holding men accountable for their actions? I’m just spit-balling here, but it’s so crazy it just might work.
Depardouche always gave off that vibe. The only reason it hasn’t come out sooner is likely because French culture took a while to catch up with MeToo. No one could possibly be surprised he’s a rapist.
What!? Apple took another companies idea and used slick marketing to convince consumers they invented it?!
I’m shocked…dismayed…appalled…all of those things.
My world has been rightly shooketh.
On second thought, no shit…it’s Apple. That’s kind of their schtick.
Thanks for proving my third statement.
Never found a free one that works as well at blocking ads and trackers.
I worked in the cellular space for about 20 years off and on before moving to other pastures. I guarantee you that maybe one in a thousand think like you.
BY FAR the average buyer that Apple targets come in two flavors.
First, the “I’m cool and all my friends are doing it” and second is the “I’m the father, I don’t personally give a shit but my daughter/son wants us all to be on iMessage.”
It’s cheaper for me to just bump up my Adguard DNS subscription on my home router. Though I’ve only done limited testing to see how efficient it handles YT ads. (so far seems to work).
Honestly, the $3 CAD I spend on Adguard DNS through my router has been incredible. I’m flabbergasted when I connect to someone else’s Wi-Fi and see what the Internet looks like outside my door walls.
The fact that people care about whether their messages are blue or green is so absolutely ridiculous.
I’ve known people who literally refuse to message anyone who doesn’t use iMessage (and by extension has an iPhone).
Every one of them turned out to be a twat in every other facet of their personality as well.
it’s funny that I would have expected Colbert to have the best insights/humour in their Trump bits.
But instead it’s Seth Meyers, who i never liked on SNL but who absolutely shines with his political stuff, and Kimmel, who are leading the way.
Of course that’s not including Oliver, because no one is on Oliver’s level.
Fallon is a joke in comparison.
I think if Trump had direct dirt on them, he’s too stupid to not blab it out at some point during all the infantile name-calling he calls “campaigning”.
More likely is that Putin has kompromat on most of the GOP, and the threat of ol’ Putin-on-the-Blitz giving that information to Trump is what allows him to hold on to their short and curlies.
I don’t think the GOP was honestly expecting him to win.
