Tbf that is helpful info

I remember being surprised to realize/remember that there are (were?) totally kids that will knock on a new neighbor's door to ask their parents if they could come out to meet them and play

Imagine.. taking action to put yourself out there and meet friends. That's kinda wild

I stopped clicking on android authority links after they faked a drop test to make an iPhone look good

That said, what are people using nowadays or what. I tried skiff earlier this year and then it almost immediately announced they were stopping their email service

I can't imagine the stress if I'd had anything important I needed to transfer to another email. I mean, besides losing everything of course

Edit: relevant absolutely ridiculous, watching it again. No shame! I wonder if they ever even addressed it

I was referring to the general support for the military industrial complex. Maybe the answer's obvious but it feels like mainstream media has never noticed/accepted/publicized its effect on politicians and legislation in general

Well the second question's easy. The goal always seems to be to cut all forms of federal spending

Now, the regular poor people that believe and support this stuff, no idea

That's very interesting! I could totally see that happening

Do you have a source you can share? Only asking since I looked up "New Hampshire Democrat primary" and didn't immediately find anything other than primary results

Oh, right. I do recall hearing something about them trying to provoke Iran. Thanks for that info

I wish they'd at least be honest about it and discuss exactly how that benefits the nation. There's gotta be some reason. I can't imagine it's simply because most politicians invest in those companies, but idk maybe

I thought Iran sent those missiles in response to the attack on Hezbollah/Lebanese citizens. Had Israel attacked Iran as well? Sorry if that's a dumb question

I mean we could start by voting in primary elections. It's wild how many people simply ignore them. That's like the main reason I tend to blame the American people a teeny bit more for what's going on over the actual politicians and sheriffs we choose to elect

Why are your bars unequally divided?

It doesn’t make sense for chocolate bars to be divided into equal-sized chunks when there is so much inequality in the chocolate industry! The unequally-sized chunks of our 180g bars are a palatable way of reminding Choco Fans and Serious Friends that the profits in the chocolate industry are unequally divided.

And in case you haven’t noticed, the bottom of our bars depicts the West African coastline. The chunks just above it represent the Gulf of Guinea. From left to right, you have Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Togo and Benin (terribly politically incorrect, we know, but we had to combine them to create enough space for a hazelnut), Nigeria and part of Cameroon.

That's awesome!

What the hell I need to learn to shoot for?

F that! I'm following my dreams

Oh no...I'm in danger! lol

/Cries on my S10

The statement confirms that the latest version of the SmartThings app is the root cause of these bootloops. It further confirms that the update is no longer rolling out to devices, so you need not worry about accepting an update on your device.

Right... I'ma just go ahead and disable auto-updating, thanks

Idk, I'm bilingual and I only ever think in English. It doesn't really seem to make a difference though, saying things out loud vs in my head.

I'm learning a third language now and can just barely communicate with others (worked with a taxi driver!). That said, I wouldn't consider myself truly trilingual yet. I could think in that language but it doesn't really feel like it changes anything - I still only know the same words in my head

I shit on the opportunity? Dude, I don't think you understood my comment at all, especially since you got so defensive in your response.

Let's try and take a breath and relax. Let me know if something I said hurt/disrespected you and I'll address it since it wasn't my intention to offend anyone.

First, I visit Lemmy daily and comment all the time. Am I not a true Lemmy user because I don't post? I personally think that's a silly thing to say.

Second, I never even mentioned the posts here being the issue. You just assumed that, dude. My issue is entirely the lack of people. Sorry that wasn't clearer in my what I wrote

Finally, if I'm honest, I don't think this place is better than reddit. It may one day be but I don't think it is yet. I hope I'm allowed to have that opinion here.

Something else I think is that the demographic of the userbase is a lot more similar/less diverse than it ever was on reddit. Again, I'm not even saying that's a good or bad thing. They're just realities we should try and understand. It could be both. I just find the hate for reddit to be over the top and I think it clouds people's view of reality. You're welcome to disagree. We could even have a nice chat about it!

I'm of the belief that if we want this place to be better than reddit we need to truly try and welcome people we disagree with into the community so everyone feels like they're included even if they're not always posting or commenting or even visiting or whatever. ;)

I mean, maybe I should just ask, are people here mainly for a defederated social network - and what does that mean to you? I've kinda always been looking for a good healthy community - I hear the Internet used to be way better at that before - and I felt like reddit showed that their communities were fake and ripe for turning on themselves. This place seems identical in that way.

Sorry if I could've communicated that better in this message or the last one

All 10 of us here stand united on this most exquisite and elevated of horses!

It's so weird to be content with/amused by this situation. Feels like Alexandria was just built nextdoor, fisherman have started to arrived with massive boats and high-quality nets, and here we are, the old fishermen pushed off our original fishing site yet full of glee that we don't have to pay taxes in Alexandria. It's like, this isn't really a successful venture, right? We're not really thriving like we were in the past, are we? We're likely never going to get anything like that back either, huh

Idk, maybe my values just don't give me enough internal validation yet, to feel good about it or something. The only consolation I see really is that I don't think the time spent online is very worthwhile anyway. What I liked most was the community but it's become clear most of that was never real

I just read it as supporting third parties. I thought you were going to mention what happens if a third party were to get more votes but not a majority. I actually don't know. Would there still be a runoff between Dem and Rep or would the third party actually win it? I'd assume theres some rule that the third party has to win a majority or some bs

There's a link under the post linking to info on the Sri Lanka election.

All good! It's easy to miss

Idk, I see liberals telling everyone to be calm and content and that the economy is great and getting better.

I totally get the reason and vibe they're going for, but they're basically saying don't be righteously furious and ignore reality, imo, while they capitulate on claims that crime and immigration are bigger problems. I guess, I just don't know that significant economic/social change has ever happened without pissed-off people fighting like their lives depend on it

Most people I know know about the drake beef and the Diddy scandal, but I couldn't even count like 5 people that I know personally that could name their senators or explain what the electoral college is.

I think most of us prefer to ignore our emotions, and I think anything related to politics beings up uncomfortable emotions for people so they just don't do it and stay away from the topic

Not with that attitude. Seriously, we'll need to be absolutely furious if we ever want something to be done about something we care about

Does anyone remember anger?
