  • It always gets passed to the customer. The billionaires don't lose money.

  • Permanently Deleted

  • What a fragile ego to need your space daddy to dampen your partner's will and personality .

  • It's cool because we killed the tree.

  • All hail our Lord and Savior, the great and omnipotent Cheetoh.

  • This is most likely his villain origin story: He tried linux making him a hacker in his mind, broke it and couldn't fix it, the Arch forum told him to RTFM and pointed him to the wik so he reinstalled Windows and has made the entire linux community his arch nemesis.

    Admitting some people aren't savvy enough to run linux is his kryptonite.

  • I know it shouldn't but your experience made me laugh. Not satire, indeed :)

  • I definitely wouldn't have thought to label him terrible. Just emotionally delicate enough to not be able to handle dissenting opinions and harboring a sense of powerlessness that has made him want to create an environment where he gets to control the people that try to participate.

    I can relate. I might start a "somethingsucks" community and may the Gods help anyone that tries to usurp me.

  • This one made me giggle. The linuxsucks dude is a trip. I would love to see a psychological workup on a person that creates a 1-person community on an ultra-niche platform and protects against other people joining to the death.

  • It's less than .05% of his worth. It's like us dropping pocket change in the Red Cross bucket and he'll make more than that in profit from changes the bribe paid for from the great cheetoh.

  • I appreciate the warning as it readily admits the majority of the content is boring enough to make you want to scroll away.

  • Lemmy is too small to be a worthwhile target for musk-like campaigns. It's usually just people escaping their echo chambers to get their rage fix. If you're able to think for yourself, there's really no negative impact and scrolling past is a great solution.

  • There doesn't seem to be any actual record of this being tweeted.

  • I'd say that's on you, there's more places to not be found than there are discoverable locations on the earth. Proper planning prevents poor performance and all that.

  • Anyone can already euthanize themselves. We're all just a helium or nitrogen tank and trash bags away from our exit stage right.

  • I don't think the meme makes sense. The ml users don't seem to care how much other content is out there. They still participate as much as they'd like.

  • What an absurdly sycophantic graph.

  • I never knew B&T to say that phrase. Their faves were always "Party on, dudes" and the like.

    I'm pretty sure Wayne's World skit on SNL in the mid 80's is where the phrase was born.

  • Ah, a change.org petition . I eagerly await the sweeping improvements to life abroad.

  • Having such a an ego that they think trumpians care about their or anyone's judgement or opinion.

    We had to put him to sleep today due to cancer. He had quit eating and drinking so we had a vet come to the house to provide the service. He's resting in the back by the woods now. I'm really going to miss him.

    The people left behind when the automakers abandon a city.

    This has always interested me, on an explorer's level, the ruins of the plants have always really stuck in my mind. Growing up, it was always spoken of in the context of "US automakers couldn't keep up with changing trends and they just lost it all" but that's not true at all. Almost all of the companies involved with these types of abandonments are doing great, in fact, better than ever. When things really did get dire for US automakers during the recession around 2009, the goverment simply bailed them out with tax dollars.

    An excerpt from the video: "It's the excess of Capitalism. In some ways, people thought this was the failure of Capitalism but we could also see it as the success of Capitalism. The automobile industries got away like bandits. They got out of there, they took the money and left. They left the mess, they left a working class and a deteriorating environment for someone else to clean up."

    As an older person now, I wonder how many more of these export moves c

    Does documentation of an example life under communism exist?

    Hi there folks,

    While trying to learn about communism, I'm having problems finding literature that provides and example life under Communism. What I do find is propaganda either against or for it, involving unrealistic and bombastic content that is clearly not rooted in reality.

    I'm not looking for historical content because I'm just trying to figure out what a life that the group is striving for would be like.

    Thanks for your time!

    Would you mind helping me understand the reality of trans life?

    Hi there,

    I hope this is allowed. I need some help gaining an understanding of trans life and some of the issues that are faced, what defines it and a couple other things. It won't hurt my feelings if this gets deleted. If so, I won't bother you again.

    To help explain why I'm so clueless, I'm a white 50yo married guy with one young adult hetero child. I have absolutely no real life context to apply and I'm not what you would consider culture-savvy(I don't follow news/media, have no circle of people, basically, I hang out in the woods by myself). I understand very little of the relative explosion of references that I see on the web.

    First, the only thing I think I understand is that gender is considered a social construct, leading to the popularity of choosing your own pronouns( I know there's much more, I'm using the pronouns as something I often see). Understanding as little as I do, I try to frame discussion in a way that I don't ever use pronouns to try to keep from offendi
