I'm on /all, and I block a lot of the subs on an individual basis. I'd block all of lemmynsfw but then I wouldn't see any nsfw content. I don't mind it being mixed in but there's a brand new sub every 5 mins on that place. If I just had a way to block cocks and let the rest through, it wouldn't bother me at all.
You should read your own suggestion there bub. It merely says there are proponents and critics of the theory and that actual research on the metaphor is sparse. Sorry to get your panties in a twist.
I've seen the "tolerant left" suggest calling ICE on latinos who supported Donald Trump in order to get them or their family members deported as some sort of revenge. If that's not a fine example of horseshoe theory, I don't know what is.
I think you'd be awfully surprised calling yourself "as left as they come" on here. There are some people who are so far out in left field that they come back around on the right again. Lemmy is full of anarcho-communists and people who believe that ownership of property is akin to murder.
Yeah, that's not a thing. Interacting with an assistant is just simply the fact that you've got a microphone on. If you connect it to a phone with an assistant...tada, it uses that mic. And earbuds with their own apps on a smartphone are how they do the things like EQ adjustments, because bluetooth doesn't have a standard for that; and get this -- the apps are completely optional on all of them.
So...what about current bluetooth devices are "enshittified" or did you just see the word on your word-of-the-day calendar and have to use it?
Enshittification is used for platforms that are great in the beginning, and then slowly are designed to wring money out of their users. Bluetooth anything doesn't really fit that description.
Some of us are fine with murder when it comes to the relative outcomes. If I can murder someone to save 100 lives (and there's no doubt at all that it would), I wouldn't even flinch before driving the knife into their skull.
In this hypothetical, we already know our targets body-count. So it's easy to make the math work.
This is the biggest one. I use Keepa for things, and I've heard other people suggest camelcamelcamel. Always check the pricing history first, don't get sucked into the "Save money!" trap. You're not saving anything if you wouldn't have bought the item in the first place.
Yeah, I probably used too harsh of a term there -- It's not stupidity or laziness, but more ignorance. You can't exactly chase something that you haven't been taught about.
And you're right, the process is daunting - many of the people that argue against it are those that have to live in the city, and refuse to live further out in order to get better pricing. I've got plenty of housing around me being built in the 200k-300k range (2/1 and 3/2) - in Florida no less. But it's in the country.
I went the "buy a slum house and live in squalor, putting whatever extra money I have into it to fix things" route. I learned a lot about housing maintenance; installing your own appliances, replacing well pumps and tanks, electrical, etc.
A buddy of mine is shacking up with his brother and they're buying a house together for now so that in 10 years they can sell it an split the equity for their own individual houses.
It's all possible, though for sure - you may have to do some things that we'd consider unconventional today. It's definitely not ideal. The big guys are going to find out sooner or later that not paying people for jobs ends up with nobody having any money to spend.
Many states have first-time homebuyers programs that will absolutely shunt the issue of transitioning to Rent/homebuying. Most people are too lazy or stupid to take the initiative though. Every person I have talked to about renting vs home owning has always managed to make excuses why they can't do something, instead of working to make it happen. It's daunting as fuck, for sure - but it's possible if you scrimp and do without for a while. That short-term of doing without, ultimately ends up with you paying into something you OWN. You're building your personal equity with a house, and many people will argue against that because of learned helplessness.
Fuckin' Smarrrrrrt. You'll be one of the ones who doesn't get fucked if the housing market crashes, because your interest rate won't balloon through the roof.
I'm not saying to track down do what this guy did to huge multi-hundred-billion dollar CEOs, but it's hard to say that it doesn't work.
