Facebook is 100% shitposts. Most of my friends on it have aged out of posting every little thing and so it’s mostly shitposts and soft core porn disguised as short form videos on the Facebook feed and not any of my friends that I actually wanted to follow when I made my account in the 00s.

I really want to delete my account but I still have to use it to organize class reunions and alumni events for my old high school. I’m going to try to float the idea that we move to a mailing list instead. I’d rather buy a domain and maintain a website for that than continue using Facebook for free

Had the hypothetical been used to explain negative feelings about someone due to their race, religion, skin color, or sexuality; it would have been rightfully reviled.

There are far more effective and less misandrist ways to express that you don’t feel safe being alone in risky situations.

I don’t have any love lost for mega corporate farms and agree that we need more family and cooperative owned farms that would be more concerned with sustainability and environmental impact.

As an unpopular opinion on the other end, it’s ok to stop participating in pop culture. Pop music, Blockbuster movies, and TV are all meant to sell consumerism to young people with disposable incomes. Not to people who are bogged down by kids and mortgages.

New media isn’t made for your tastes, so unless you make an effort to change your tastes to those of the current generation of young people, new media will never be seen as good enough by you

The bear thing was rage bait to spread hate. Hate against men, reactionary hate against women, presumably hate against bears.

People shouldn’t have dignified the ridiculous scenario with a response.

Home gardening is an important element of individual food security. It’s not meant to replace industrial agriculture which maintains food security for the nation as a whole

I’m not meaning to disparage the other uses of hemp.

I’m not an expert in the uses of hemp for food but we already have the cultural palate and infrastructure for cornmeal and cornflour products, not so much for hempseed right now. If we had that back in the depression, maybe we would have subsidized hemp instead. Maybe attitudes could change in the future and we could shift to subsidizing hemp in the future. I know of a couple big hemp farms that have popped up near me, it’s possible. But it’s not feasible right now.

Corn is used in cereals, tortillas, chips, as a sugar substitute, and as animal feed. The one thing you won’t be eating is canned corn because that’s not the kind of corn that we subsidize.

Corn is actually probably one of the most effective crops we could use in a surplus

The corn subsidies are here for a purpose. To ensure that we maintain a surplus so that we can avoid mass food shortages if a natural disaster such as the dust bowl of the 1930s wipes out several years of harvests. Hemp can’t be used as a food source.

You can’t really sell ads on a per impression basis with just product placement. They want the ad sales to be recurring revenue.

Yes but now it will be useless and make stuff up instead of just saying “Something went wrong” or “I don’t understand” to every request

I mean you can send your Mac snip to preview and mark it up that way

What was there to apologize for? I guess good on them for responding in a respectful manner to all different viewpoints but it’s just an ad, not a political statement

Because the rulers under communism are still the political class and not the working man. And instead of being able to uplift yourself via entrepreneurship you have the state controlling every aspect of your life, your career, and your ability to own property

I’ve never had issues with a return but I’ve had so many problems with items being damaged, having misleading listings, or being sent the wrong item that I refuse to order from Amazon anymore

The camera is too important for me to give up my smart phone, and I don’t want to carry a separate device just for taking photos/video.

Maybe if the came out with a feature phone that had a camera on par with a smartphone and supported syncing to google photos or immich or synology then I’d consider it.

Depends on if your Schwartz is as big as mine. And how you use it

You are absolutely free to believe that not all beliefs are good or correct according to your own morals, and plenty of people will agree with you. Similar to going to a middle eastern country and telling them that women should have rights and shouldn’t have to cover up, don’t expect to be well liked for telling people that their beliefs are deficient or immoral.

As an example of internet atheists being as obnoxious as internet vegans, yes that’s my example.

Edit: with regards to the content it was posting back when it was a default, not the fact that it was a default

Don’t remember when /r/atheism was a default on the other site?
