I’m not excited to vote for a corporate Dem again, but if that’s what it takes to keep a twice impeached fascist out of the White House, we’ll then, sign me the fuck up.

This is Biden's entire re-election strategy in a nutshell. I'm gonna hold my nose and vote for him too for the exact same reason, but I'm tired of having preselected candidates rolled out in front of me and being forced to vote for the less shitty person.

Still, as Whitehouse told the New York Times, it could mark the “beginning” of the foundation for actual bipartisan action: “You have to start somewhere,” Whitehouse argued. “The more information that comes out about the mischief going on at the Supreme Court, the more inevitable it becomes that they come around to agreeing we have to do something.”

Dude gives congressional republicans waaaaaaaaay too much credit.

How is it a bad user experience? Because you have to make an account on another instance? You can still browse from another instance without logging into it.

How would you suggest they improve the user experience without expecting them to have some sort of centralized login server? Having any sort of centralized user management leads to a single point of attack for anyone looking to exploit the system.

No, its the entire point of a federated system. If one instance goes down, you can create an account on another instance and continue browsing posts from all other servers still online. No one server has complete control of the system.

These companies will not change unless they are forced to do so and our government isn't going to do shit since most of congress is in the pocket of big oil. So what are our other options?

Everyone likes to blame individuals for not using renewables or buying an electric car, when it reality their options were limited in the first place by big oil. Most people can barely afford to put food on the table and green or renewable products are usually significantly more expensive and not really an option. Besides that, IIRC ordinary citizens only account for roughly 20% of all greenhouse gas emissions. So the onus lies on big oil to make changes and offer affordable renewable options instead of the same gas guzzling/polluting bullshit we've been offered up to this point. But like I said, they won't do something like that unless they are forced to do so, they will always pursue profit over people, unless those people get in their faces and force them to pursue other options.

Brawndo's got what plants crave. It's got electrolytes.

These big name actors are fighting for the people that are part of SAG that are extras or do stunts who make jack shit from most productions. These people are fighting for members of their union, this has nothing to do with anything else.

Yeah, most people never actually grow up, they just get older.

They called it the "Disney Vault". They did the same for VHS too, they would re-release old movies onto VHS for a limited time and then it would "Go back in the Vault". Its an annoyingly effective marketing scheme and I hate that almost all studios do this with their shows and movies now.

These mfers watched "Joan is Awful" from season 6 of Black Mirror and said. LETS DO THAT!!

This was my first thought. I know for me when I found myself feeling uncomfortable when an old song played on the radio or friends talked about past memories. Turns out I had a shit ton of unrecognized/unresolved trauma from my childhood that resulted in CPTSD.

I don't drink because alcohol gives me bad heartburn and a headache long before I get drunk. Guess that does sorta count as being in poor health.

I honestly think this is a concerted effort by most of the right-wing mouthpieces to rile up the base just before election season to get them to do something stupid...........again.

Every time I see a picture of Matt Gaetz, I believe more and more that he truly is Butthead in the flesh. Now to decide which republican most favors Bevis.

Its called Flan

I've played with this idea in my head on several occasions. It does seem rather insane how all social media sites are self destructing and making business decisions that are questionable at best. Given all the uprisings across the globe in recent years, it would not surprise me if there were various investors and governments who would pay good money to destroy those platforms. Also the sudden and complete self destruction of both Reddit and Twitter right as we're about to head into the 2024 US presidential elections, seems rather suspect as well.

The other idea I've been considering is that both Musk and Huffman are raging malignant narcissists who are throwing a massive childish tantrum and burning it all down simply because the users on their sites made fun of them.

Can we not give this moron free air time? This idiot, like Trump, just wants to remain in the limelight and bask in adoration. She doesn't give a damned about NATO or any other foreign policy, she just likes seeing herself on the news.

IIRC there was a sub on Reddit that was dedicated to reporting bot accounts. Maybe we could have something similar here too so it can be a group effort to keep these bots in check the best we can.

I keep a roll of black tape in my bedroom for this exact reason. I have a damned humidifier that has a light under the water tank so the whole thing glows. Who TF designs this crap?
