Finally, something 3-D printed for bibliophiles. You will make money with this as a niche, selling cases to people with older Kindles, for example. It's very difficult to find a protective case for any of them that are more than five years old, IMHO. Bless your face!
In a kinder world, there are also stacks of dough. Anyone remember "Bloom County"? There was a story arc from 1986/1987 when Oliver Wendell Jones and Milo have something similar happen. The kids claim to be developing a weapon for the "Star Wars" program. Giant boxes of untraceable cash start showing up on Milo's front steps in hours. It goes to their heads. The story skewered Reagan, but it was the best kind of shitposting. I grew up reading the collections and I like to think it was my first introduction to liberal media that was actually funny. I also read "Utne Reader" and "Newsweek". Did anyone else grow up thinking that being a defense contractor sounded pretty fun and glamorous?
Well yeah, isn't SpaceX already implementing a lot of the corrections already? It seems some improvements like the (super-duper/rebuildable within 28.4 days) launch pad, are already done. The probably noticed the rock tornado too, that's why they get 400000 elonbucks a year and all the rip its they can drink.
No, I was never a Reddit mod. My first modding experience is at sh.itjust.works. I was making a analogy, which I'll admit was a bit strained, but I stand by it. The analogy was not intended to imply that Reddit mods were the equivalent of surgeons, it was intended to compare a set of specialists to another set of specialists and what happens when an organization forces generalists (above-mentioned theater kids) into the tasks of specialists. Things always enshittify. All of the mods I've interacted with in Lemmy instances and on Reddit have been specialists, in terms of professional, ethical management of content and an exceptional ability to manage "soft" power. I have no motive to flatter any mod anywhere, this is what I've observed. If you don't agree with the observation, fair enough, but those types of mods are characteristic of the communities in which I choose to spend time. Your mileage may vary, but if you find mods to be otherwise, I would question your chosen community first, as the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. A wise man used to say to me, "If you look around and every room you're in is full of assholes, it's you. You're the asshole."
It's almost like moderators were highly skilled workers in a very, very small niche. It's as if a company that sold highly specialized training for prenatal brain surgeons, started a campaign to discredit every single prenatal brain surgeon in the world and force them all to lose their jobs, then attempted to fill in every one of those jobs with middle school theater kids.
I was hoping so hard for a Swanson meme. I thank you from the bottom of my weird little heart.
"Why get a ham radio license?" Argh. Because I want to achieve my own Pyramid of Greatness.
I also don't like how the r/NCD mods went back to SFW when Reddit threatened to remove them as mods and replace them. The NSFW-status-justifying open letter to Reddit admin with spicy links of NSFW should have been their hill to die on. It was a brilliant chess move and it should have been a "nail our colors to the [free speech] mast" moment. Then the mods backed down from it. That's why I don't want to invite them to mod here. They can't be trusted to stand up for their own freedom of conscience, even when they had nothing to lose. They won't stand up for anything else. Shit, you're doing a good job, don't get burned out. Take care of your mental health.
They're projecting their anger at their own neglectful fathers. Zelenskyy is just a target. He's a family man and they can't stand it. I'd like to give the world a Coke and a therapist, because we're all twisted around the axle somehow with trauma, but most people don't externalize it by becoming dollar store warlords. I'm tired of American elite intellectuals making excuses for placating them. I guess I should thank them, though, because that's what finally got me off the Trump train. It was a ton of fun until I realized that Trump was supporting peace negotiations with Russia. Ya hurt me, orange man.
I would be disappointed if you did change your user name. It fits the zeitgeist of Lemmy. Thank you for the reply. Do you mean that private messages are fixed? I tried to message another delegate as a test and that also failed, same error. u/fertility18 where you at? I tried to use you as a Shit courier. It didn't work. No tip. XD
I hope The Snail finds you on your wedding day, with that attitude.
