Oh so we're going to try and carry on the tradition of fishing for people's dark secrets on here now too? Lame.

Twitter is also zoophile haven too.

Any time you read or skim through anything right-wing, you swore that you were smarter before you began to.

I keep forgetting why sometimes I even use Telegram. It's just there. I don't want their dumb subscription.

And almost no firefox user wants to admit that, among the other things Firefox is flawed for. But, "IT'S NOT GOOGLE" is their only rationale.

And the government continues to give them more money. I've figured it out now.

People want better broadband. ISPs promise to broaden internet. Government gives money. ISPs spend a considerable amount of the promise of better broadband in marketing. Doesn't happen. People still want better broadband. ISPs promise again. Government gives more money. ISPs continue spending on marketing.

Over and over.

Always in the back. I get a better view that way. I've tried sitting in the front before, but I always had to have my head tilted up. I've tried sitting in the middle before and my eyes had to zoom around the screen still to try and catch everything.

So, the back it is for me.

Well, why aren't we practicing that communal specialty into you know, bettering society from it's current dumpster fire state? Or is that just too tall of a task?

First, go alone. But make sure you go at the tailend of the movie's cycle before it goes out of theaters. That's usually when crowds lessen and it'll be easier on you to manage. Lots of people really find themselves annoyed because they attend a movie, just when it's freshly released and they run into all of these problems.

Can we just fucking retire Captcha already? It can be defeated and there's been proof of that. If it's purpose has been defeated, then it is no longer of use.

Not really, most times. It just makes me look at things with an even viler perspective towards the things I already have a low-mood or tolerance to as is.

Our brains are like hard drives. We know a fair amount but over time, we forget some things to make room for newer things. Some things, we can't access because some part of it was overwritten. Some other things, we can't simply recount at all.

So it'd be an eternity spending time figuring it out, forgetting, misplacing the knowledge, coming to a realization, forgetting again .etc .etc

If Lemmy's karma system can stay as it is, without adopting the Reddit way of how it handles it, I guess it's fine. Personally, I'd like to at least have some place to go to, that doesn't have likes, doesn't have karma points or anything. Because it just encourages people to groom themselves to say things, that'll garner the most attention. It invalidates your way of thinking and makes you check back on scores to feel validated.

I hate that I can't go almost anywhere anymore, without seeing some stupid form of a karma points system. It serves no purpose. Reddit's is worse because they tie your account to it. Don't have enough? Welp, too bad, can't post here. Got downvoted to oblivion? Welp, too bad, gotta wait some 10 minutes and fill a stupid captcha check.

If Lemmy can avoid that, then fine, I guess.

Several. I'll keep it to three.

One, was having to move out from my home state, twice. I have my fair share of criticism for some parts of it that I didn't like, like having been around some lowly leveled towns with druggies and drunks. But there have been an awful lot of ups as well, I love it's scenery, I love how it isn't billboard haven like the places I've moved to have had and I liked the small communities. As well as my state being a very progressive state too. If only it'd correct it's affordability problem, I would have loved to return there.

Two, the changing of the internet. I've been online for over 27 years now. It is depressing to watch it all devolve into a corporate marketing playground with so many subscriptions nagging you. I've had to watch so many good places shut down because of these increasing pressures of these changes affecting them. People I've known online, are either gone due to the sands of time or that they've passed away that I didn't realize until I get second or third hand information about it. It used to all be a rich and fulfilling experience. But every time I use the internet now, it feels shallower and shallower. If the internet were to suddenly up and vanish in maybe the next 5 minutes, I wouldn't complain. I'd just bow out and feel that we've done all that we've done.

Lastly, having to oust a friend of 5 years tenure for showing sympathy to pedophiles. They brought a lot of positivity and wholesomeness to my life during my time with them. We were even in a group with others that shared silliness and good times. But the past year it has been nothing but just senseless debates and one of which ended up them coming out as a pedo sympathizer which was something I just couldn't accept because of my experiences having been entangled with pedos and dealing with them and their illogical worldview on how they see minors.

Fed Up

Good way to know how truly messed the food industry is because of the lobbying from the sugar industry
