Those non-cow milks costs them more.

so? it's starbucks. they'll be fine.

even lemmy has astroturfing. i guarantee reddit's push to tighten API usage etc was partially to ensure only paid / approved astroturfing was possible

and it's not even a functional dictatorship; meaningful bills get held up in the wheels of power for ages and ages, but they have the will to pass this grossly authoritarian bullshit within a week. sick.

frfr, i can't believe how many smug takes i saw about this the day it passed. left and right giddy to oppress the youth just because the dances are stupid

if i'm not burning alive by 50 i'm gonna be really disappointed by all these headlines

i don't even like looking at or thinking about this stuff, it's too depressing getting my hopes up

can't believe people's insanely smug reaction to this. the government is banning an app that 100+ million americans use and presumably enjoy. that is insane, full stop.

so rather than running someone that could organically capture more of the gen z vote, they're banning their most popular form of communication because the old man wanted another term. awesome

there's no point debating at all because it doesn't change anyone's minds, it's just who can score the more points. trump knows how to score points: be funny and roast the competition rather than droning on about politic minutae that no one watching truly cares about or remembers

and if the issues are so serious, why would you not interrupt the opposition and be underhanded rather than letting him carry on to be polite? pandora's box has been opened, debates are effectively entertainment and people want their guy to be entertaining. i wish someone on the left would adopt the trump style bombast and use it benevolently

i started using tree style tabs which was absolutely life changing. best computer memory i've had in years, it's a far more logical and space-friendly way to keep lots of tabs open and still be able to read the titles. i feel like specifically grouping adds too much overhead - i have to think about which group to put each into, and think (even a little bit) about where to find it later

it doesn't cost them anything to have an extra body on a train though. maybe the fares add up to that, but that's not "losing money"

the way they took away awards, even old awards, was so fucking stupid and demeaning to the site as a whole. i don't see anyone using awards at all anymore

instantly feel the tension in my body release. completely relax like i've never relaxed before. watch all the films i still want to. probably be sad for most of it though

word searches are such a meaningless, joyless exercise too, all the words are already there. at least crosswords make it interesting

nah fuck that, we have to hear about them all year, the least they can do is put on a show for 3 hrs

i really hate that shit where they intentionally cut the movie in a really shitty annoying confusing way just to make the story ostensibly more cOmPleX rather than just writing something good and relying on its strength like a normal good film

the prestige really pissed me off

jon bois rules

as creepy as this is i would honestly feel way more comfortable getting screened by a robot than humans

tiktok fucking sucks but banning the entire app for everyone is insane. this could induce a severe posting gap, causing the US to fall behind in important discourse and cultural relevance
