It's kind of crazy how much Reddit doesn't want people to migrate here. 5 months ago, they banned the mod of a subreddit for Lemmy migration and reinstated the community after backlash. When you search Lemmy in Reddit search, you see a few top pinned posts about how to migrate but everything else is low effort trash talk from people who have never used Lemmy. The entire Lemmy subreddit is dedicated to complaining about it- I'm sure Reddit is doing this intentionally. Keep spreading the word- Lemmy's growth starts with you! We have a brand new platform owned by all and the power to shape it into something great for everyone.
If the corrupt clowns in congress want to go on strike, we should go on strike too- we can hold the economy hostage by walking out of work and protesting until they get their shit together. They are taking our taxes but accomplishing nothing that helps commoners like us with the funds. It's one thing to have a corrupt congress with a republican majority, but it's another thing to have a nonfunctional federal government. It starts with you- spread the word and organize, no matter what your political beliefs are! I say we give them two weeks.
We need to take to the streets if we don’t have a functional federal government by the end of next week. We’re paying taxes to these clowns, yet not even the bare minimum is getting accomplished.
If we don’t have a functional government by the end of the week we need to take to the streets. Why should we pay taxes when they won’t do anything for us?
Non-profit still means they can make a profit, they have the freedom to move the bar and give their executives extra pay while still technically not making extra money
I stayed in a hotel recently and was browsing the channels on the tv. There were about 50 channels, all of them completely normal, but one stood out. Why the fuck was RT one of the few news channels on cable tv in an American city? RT is a Russian propaganda weapon and they’re trying to influence Americans by broadcasting here.
Is Spez mixing vodka and crack? It seems like they have no end goal except to make a small amount of money for a short period of time by not paying google, but they’ll lose money once they find a large portion of their views come from search traffic.
I feel like Israel is crossing the line at this point. They have a right to retaliate against Hamas, but they've already bombarded half of Gaza, and killed lots of fighters and civilians on top of that. The only reason they're going to invade is that it's a very opportune time for them to finally annex the strip of land they've had their eyes on for a long time. Both armies are being despicable, and I feel for anyone caught up in this who has nothing to do with the drama.
Hamas knows that they need to keep this conflict between themselves and Israel. If they piss off any more NATO/Allied countries, the chance that the Gaza invasion will turn into an international coalition increases significantly.
I can totally see how it used to be more ideal, however it's been completely perverted from a legitimate currency into a MAGA-style investment fraud cult. At this point people need to start denouncing crypto- every new crypto project now is a get rich quick scam and people who don't know any better will fall for it. I think that crypto's days are numbered, coins will probably be heavily regulated by the end of the decade.
Besides all that, my personal opinion is that investing in "nothing" is scammy. There are no physical or heavily regulated securities like when you invest in stocks, precious metals, and art.
It’s a cult too. It feeds on hype and marketing so people will say anything to keep the value of their worthless investments up. That’s probably why you’re getting a couple downvotes even though you’re 100% right. Wouldn’t be surprised if some coins got big from bot network spamming on social media.
Edit: they won’t even argue about it, they just keep downvoting. Proves my point exactly.
Apologies for the crypto website as the article source- it summarized things well and was written by someone who knows a lot about the subject. That being said, if you’re going to invest, invest in something real and tangible.
Spez and the whole Reddit company culture seem to be very in touch with the whole crypto scam industry. I wouldn't be surprised if Reddit admins moderate the crypto sub part time and they got in on this.
Reddit introduced a crypto as a way to monetize Reddit gold so users would get paid for posting. They abruptly cancelled the program after people had already bought into it but it looks like some insiders at Reddit got the news first- they sold their shares before they announced the cancellation. Basically Reddit committed investment fraud.
If you work in audio, media, want to come across as fancy or want something with a dash of Linux functionality then a Mac is a good option. Otherwise, stick with a PC or a Linux compy.
