Back when I managed a Blockbuster Video, most stores ran at a loss thanks to theft.

The real reason most stores failed wasn't because DVDs were going out. It was because we couldn't stem the flow of money out the door thanks to thieves.

Windows 11 is my newest "main" computer. I also just got a nice Win 11 laptop for my new business.

Though my "working" IT laptop boots with both Windows 10 and Ubuntu.

Two people in this world that you should never get an IOU from: Trump and Musk.

They just don't pay their bills. It's not worth the effort.

You can buy 700 votes anonymously on reddit for really cheap

I don't see that it's a big deal, really. It's the same as it ever was.

Yeah, but it's easier and more reliable in some cases.

For example, every three months I have to go through a renewal process to get my diabetes medicine with my insurance. That's up to a week without my life saving medicine.

If I were to get it on the darknet, I'd add years to my life since I don't have to wait weeks to get the proper medicine.

That's not true. There's a difference between addiction and dependence medically.

You don't say that a person on insulin is an addict. You don't say that a person on heart medicine is an addict. We shouldn't say that a person on opiates are addicts.

Addicts take the medicine without a medical need. Dependent people need to take the medicine in order to live a normal life.

A lot of people are turning to the dark web to get just basic medicine because it's such a headache to get the medicine that they need. It's WAY cheaper too.

It's sad that people have to resort to that, but it's better than suffering.

People who are dependent on opiates and opioids.

Some people who are in a lot of pain legitimately need the medicine in order to have a normal life. It doesn't make us high, it makes us 'normal' because we actually require the medicine to bring us to normal levels of activity.

Just because someone is physically dependent on the medicine, does not make them an addict too

Most of us would rather never take another pill in our lives if we were suddenly healed.

It only cost them the trust of those who trusted them most.

Trust is like a mirror. When broken, you can put it back together but you will ALWAYS see the cracks.

Lemmy is pretty much my new Reddit much in the same way Reddit was my new Fark.com 12 years ago.

Now that I'm on Lemmy, I'm also exploring Fark again. I'm wondering why I ever left as it still is super relevant.

This is going to be exhibit number 1 at his murder trial

Consider getting a restraining order

The first 'A' in ACAB stands for ALL

Yes even that one cop you know. Yes, even your uncle.

There can be no 'good' cops while they look away from 'bad' cops

I wouldn't fuck reddit even with someone else's dick

Its practically necrophillia at this point

It's AI based, but humans can put in the segments too.

You'd LOVE Sponsor Block then.

It uses AI to cut out all sponsorships from within YouTube videos. Anything AI misses, the users can cut out.

So no more Raid Shadow Legends or Nord VPN interruptions. Just pure entertainment!

You gotta keep your belt clean.

You never know when it's going to be used for a naughty time

This is why I use Privacy Badger

Not only does it show you what and where it blocks, but you can also whitelist blocking in case you play browser games.

You get a lot of information out of one addon.

The short of it:

He made an offhand comment about buying twitter as a sort of "joke" but was then forced to go through with it thanks to the legal ramifications of said joke.

I've not been back to Reddit for days and I have no plans on returning

I was afraid that there wouldn't be enough content, but there's a LOT.

If ever this happens, I think of it a challenge. Most of these are easy enough to get around.

If I can't get around it, then I'll bring the issue to the larger ublock origin community.
