Meanwhile… other huge companies like intel are laying off 15k workers

Have you/Has anyone seen the r/worldnews subreddit lately? Shit’s wild! Can’t imagine how hard it would be to join/leave that community and learn the truth

Yeah I’ll believe it when I see it

Hmm… not bad. I only watched 5ish min, but he seems genuine - that is to say, he realizes he fucked up, not that he’ll actually change anything

More interesting, to me, as someone that had only heard about this from headlines, you can clearly see the mental illness pervasive in his community by looking at the comments and even moreso by looking at the guy’s room. Dude is someone we should pity, not hate - granted I understand influencers having massive platforms, and well influence

Still, I wish we could be more like the Palestinians and Arabs he mentions, that checked on him to see if he was ok, instead of the knee-jerk, quick to react Americans we are, that are ready to pounce on a fallen neighbor enemy and eager to find ways we’re different to further divide ourselves

Isn’t she more of a neo-liberal? What makes her con vs lib to you/y’all

Right… but she’s not gonna do that.

We have to force her and well we’re probably not gonna do that either, but that’s def more likely to work

I stopped clicking on android authority links after they faked a drop test to make an iPhone look good

That said, what are people using nowadays or what. I tried skiff earlier this year and then it almost immediately announced they were stopping their email service

I can’t imagine the stress if I’d had anything important I needed to transfer to another email. I mean, besides losing everything of course

Edit: relevant absolutely ridiculous, watching it again. No shame! I wonder if they ever even addressed it

I was referring to the general support for the military industrial complex. Maybe the answer’s obvious but it feels like mainstream media has never noticed/accepted/publicized its effect on politicians and legislation in general

Well the second question’s easy. The goal always seems to be to cut all forms of federal spending

Now, the regular poor people that believe and support this stuff, no idea

That’s very interesting! I could totally see that happening

Do you have a source you can share? Only asking since I looked up “New Hampshire Democrat primary” and didn’t immediately find anything other than primary results

Oh, right. I do recall hearing something about them trying to provoke Iran. Thanks for that info

I wish they’d at least be honest about it and discuss exactly how that benefits the nation. There’s gotta be some reason. I can’t imagine it’s simply because most politicians invest in those companies, but idk maybe

I thought Iran sent those missiles in response to the attack on Hezbollah/Lebanese citizens. Had Israel attacked Iran as well? Sorry if that’s a dumb question

I mean we could start by voting in primary elections. It’s wild how many people simply ignore them. That’s like the main reason I tend to blame the American people a teeny bit more for what’s going on over the actual politicians and sheriffs we choose to elect

Why are your bars unequally divided?

It doesn’t make sense for chocolate bars to be divided into equal-sized chunks when there is so much inequality in the chocolate industry! The unequally-sized chunks of our 180g bars are a palatable way of reminding Choco Fans and Serious Friends that the profits in the chocolate industry are unequally divided.

And in case you haven’t noticed, the bottom of our bars depicts the West African coastline. The chunks just above it represent the Gulf of Guinea. From left to right, you have Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Togo and Benin (terribly politically incorrect, we know, but we had to combine them to create enough space for a hazelnut), Nigeria and part of Cameroon.

That’s awesome!

I don’t mean any disrespect, but the graphics look a little dated. What’s the reason for that? Is this game built on a version from the early 2000s or is it just an intentional design choice like those 2d indie games

What the hell I need to learn to shoot for?

F that! I’m following my dreams

Oh no…I’m in danger! lol

/Cries on my S10

The statement confirms that the latest version of the SmartThings app is the root cause of these bootloops. It further confirms that the update is no longer rolling out to devices, so you need not worry about accepting an update on your device.

Right… I’ma just go ahead and disable auto-updating, thanks

Idk, I’m bilingual and I only ever think in English. It doesn’t really seem to make a difference though, saying things out loud vs in my head.

I’m learning a third language now and can just barely communicate with others (worked with a taxi driver!). That said, I wouldn’t consider myself truly trilingual yet. I could think in that language but it doesn’t really feel like it changes anything - I still only know the same words in my head

I shit on the opportunity? Dude, I don’t think you understood my comment at all, especially since you got so defensive in your response.

Let’s try and take a breath and relax. Let me know if something I said hurt/disrespected you and I’ll address it since it wasn’t my intention to offend anyone.

First, I visit Lemmy daily and comment all the time. Am I not a true Lemmy user because I don’t post? I personally think that’s a silly thing to say.

Second, I never even mentioned the posts here being the issue. You just assumed that, dude. My issue is entirely the lack of people. Sorry that wasn’t clearer in my what I wrote

Finally, if I’m honest, I don’t think this place is better than reddit. It may one day be but I don’t think it is yet. I hope I’m allowed to have that opinion here.

Something else I think is that the demographic of the userbase is a lot more similar/less diverse than it ever was on reddit. Again, I’m not even saying that’s a good or bad thing. They’re just realities we should try and understand. It could be both. I just find the hate for reddit to be over the top and I think it clouds people’s view of reality. You’re welcome to disagree. We could even have a nice chat about it!

I’m of the belief that if we want this place to be better than reddit we need to truly try and welcome people we disagree with into the community so everyone feels like they’re included even if they’re not always posting or commenting or even visiting or whatever. ;)

I mean, maybe I should just ask, are people here mainly for a defederated social network - and what does that mean to you? I’ve kinda always been looking for a good healthy community - I hear the Internet used to be way better at that before - and I felt like reddit showed that their communities were fake and ripe for turning on themselves. This place seems identical in that way.

Sorry if I could’ve communicated that better in this message or the last one
