I'm a grown ass man and love his videos because they're light-hearted and generally wholesome. Like where he rescued 100 dogs from kill shelters and helped get them adopted. But some of the more recent ones are just wasteful or dumb.

Same here used to love Sam Harris and to some extent Joe Rogan, like 2016'ish. Then they got into that whole intellectual dark web nonsense and stayed political instead of trippy brain science and meditation stuff, they started talking about international politics and they are both fucking bigots. Really turned me off hearing Sam basically support the genocide of Palestine.

Then have a mod box or something. What they currently do is, "Post removed. Reason. Rule 1."

No details, no appeal, nada.

"Hey! It's me ah Mar...k...io."

Lemmy.ml no thanks, thank you bot for trying

Or all the "elder millennials" that are actually Gen X, like bro, 1980 is not a millennial. You were 20 when Y2K happened.

I think people don't like having to figure out what federation means and run away without realizing that they didn't need to know what it means to participate.

Kind of a metaphor for modern politics if you think about it. Not until people are getting drafted to fight for oil or fresh water will younger people give a shit and change a thing. "My vote doesn't matter." Vs. every single conservative person in their country showing up to vote as if their ill-gotten gains depend on it.

Yup, I haven't seen one of them in weeks ever since one of their mods deleted a post of mine for supposedly being racist. Apparently, they can see what you write, but you won't see their comments.

They specifically obfuscate which mods take what actions so you can't appeal or even defend.

They're also hyper sensitive and generally toxic with their reflex delete/ban/block. They'll see what they want to see in the most mundane comments and nuke an entire thread. Best to just block them and ignore.

I'm fine with compensation, I'm not fine with the whole work once and siphon off the labor of others into eternity.

Why the fuck do they make money 15 years after doing the work though? Build a house, you get paid for the house. Write a song? Infinite money.

I tried something similar as a child to send my friend a letter. I wrote their address as the return address and dropped it off at the post office... They sent it to me anyways.

Getting into vinyl helped me with this and I get to hear the lesser known songs of my favorite artists as well as their weird experimental stuff.

That was all to get the right to take it seriously. It worked.

Anyone who didn't know it was a Chinese owned propaganda factory was refusing to follow the money.

I fucking love metal, but on principle will never listen to, buy, or support Metallica in any way ever. I also pass this to younger generations. I was a poor kid without a way to listen to music outside an FM radio, but this badass "thrash metal" band wanted me to pay what I didn't have so I could listen to them.

So as a well off adult my vinyl collection grows without them.

Basically just don't want to give them the ability to track my every click.
