I was one of the 400 million.

That's how fucking stupid they who are enforcing this garbage are. Word processors have for decades allowed searching for "whole words only", which would stop these words from being flagged. The tech exists, they're just too stupid and lazy to implement it.

I have the same complaint against anyone using banned word lists, including Reddit, who does the same damn thing.

The issue isn't as much high prices, although we are in a bubble that is currently popping, the main issue is ongoing, too low pay.

"Labia? I don't think that section of the sky is visible this time of year. Or, maybe it's behind the full moon.

Why won't they reveal the details? Who are they protecting, besides the shooter? I'm guessing some rich mofo's are involved in this.

Even if Tesla drops Musk as CEO to appease public opinion, he'll remain on the board of directors, because he owns so much of the stock.

I urge you to (while ignoring the Pink Floyd theme) read https://welcometothemachine.co/ to understand how we can't strip billionaires of power by attacking the companies they are associated with. Because, they all own each other's companies, they all sit on each other's boards, they're all in bed together. Musk doesn't only own big parts of Twitter, Tesla, and SpaceX, but many other big corporations as well. They all do.

Not only this, but the machines used to process food shed plastic too. Which I think people are even less happy to hear, because this means simply buying food in glass and paper containers doesn't make much difference.

This is the battle that determines our future. If we lose this, it's war, or submission for years or decades, and then war.

Not yet. Reddit and Lemmy are my only social media, I don't use anything else--I only see content from other sites, like TikTok, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc., on Reddit or Lemmy. There are a couple of klunky things about the Lemmy interface that bug me, which I've complained about already. And, the Lemmy communities I'm more interested in are not active enough to satisfy me. Lemmy still feels empty, but it's getting better.

I've transitioned to digital books. I still have a few physical books on my shelf that are special to me, but digital books are just too damn convenient. (And, yes, unless apocalypse, and unless battery dies, I know.)

Can't wait to hop in a Robotaxi! /s

What's that? They'll have human drivers in them? Still maybe no.

I guess I'll stick with my 2012 Toshiba 55" dumb TV.

Fuck the entire Trump cabinet and anyone who ever supported them, and continues to support them, Musk included.

There's no damn way I'm siding with Musk because he's poking at Trump. They're both the worst humanity has to offer.

Here's a pretty good Slate article on this dress, and how important this image became:

When I look at the image attached to this post, I can't see anything but white and gold, as I always have. This, in spite of now knowing it's black and blue.

I stuck my foot in my mouth about this dress. It was about a year later, and I didn't realize it had been proven to be black and blue, and I said something snarky when someone I liked said it was black and blue. I was so sure it was gold and white, I made an ass of myself.

You're the employee? Why would it matter to you what they use? Do your job, go home.

Back in 1989 I had a co-worker friend who went to Jamaica and returned with a custom coffee mug with my name on it. It wasn't a cheap printed one, the letters were formed out of clay. I don't use it every day anymore, because I'm afraid it will break, but it's in my rotation. It reminds me that some people used to care something about me, for some reason.

"I'm working on my masters and I feel like such a dumbass..."

Never assume someone with an advanced degree knows anything outside of that degree because "they must be smart".

What's the matter, has he run through competent lawyers who are willing to defend him?

Kamala Harris didn't lose.
