“Steamed Hamming” is my new phrase of the year.

I think you meant ‘capitulate,’ but ‘copitulate’ might work too, lol.

Yeah, honestly, the way things are set up isn’t perfect. I maintain a few accounts on different instances just to fan out what content I get. The Fedi is always gonna have issues with moderation and federation, I just don’t see it as a good enough reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Don’t forget being a safety blanket that allows Americans to postpone any form of social change!

Officer, promote that person!

Ugh. This is gonna suck.

My MAGA / Q-ANON mom said she wanted to run for school board to prevent trans kids from using litter boxes. Mind you, her last kid (me) left that high school in 2006. I asked her what a school board director does, and she got mad at me because she didn’t know.

Like if you’re a parent just trying to make a good childhood for your kid, how do you even fight bored boomers like this? They have no dog in the fight, nothing to lose, and worst of all, nothing to do. That is just so dangerous.

I was raised with civic resources, and they wanna pull the damn ladder up behind them. Despicable.

Imagine restaurants being BYOC

Am I nuts, or would legal coke just result in people switching to meth and other amphetamines?

Idk. I have watched people discover Darknet markets for years now, and the most common line of thinking that I see whenever someone tries good cocaine for the first time is “I wish I could sustain this feeling for longer, and cheaper.” Everyone is always eventually disappointed by what cocaine can offer.

Spez loves Elon. Wouldn’t surprise me if he was bending the knee to try and get Elon to buy Reddit.

I’m so glad to see lemmy.world so active.

I got banned after 15 years for asking why we can’t organize to cyberbully Trump’s current head of social media: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Cheung_(political_advisor)?wprov=sfla1

This was in response to the White House calling Garcia a terrorist on their Twitter account.

I truly do not understand what it will take for my fellow Americans to become aware.

I assume that at this point, an unhealthy amount of Americans find politics distasteful and they try their best to avoid it — people who are just as affected by it as I am!

Buy a chest freezer! It opens the world imo.

Big fan of buying used on eBay, here. Works amazingly for clothes, too. They aren’t nearly as poor quality or as dirty as people would imagine. I can get brand new shoes or pairs of pants for $10-$20 per pair!
