I drink diet soda to not drink soda. I drink soda to not do drugs and alcohol. I’d much rather have heroin than diet coke, but I probably shouldn’t ever have that again. So I’ll have a diet coke, on ice please.

Should get rid of paywall

I suggest we do it over Australia.

Mastodon has been a better alternative to reddit for me than Lemmy has so far tbh, except it’s not as interactive with other people I less you chase followers. But the niche communities have more activity over there than here so far.

Disc golf. Most cities of moderate size have a course somewhere around and most are free to use. Can get started with 1 disc, about 10 to 12 dollars for a putter, all you’d need to start, or get a starter set of 3 discs for about 30 to 40 bucks at most sporting goods stores.

Absolutely, also laws that regulate volume in all ads across all platforms. Also laws that forbid campaign ads.

Repost bots are way up, and covering the front page. I suspect in an attempt to make it look like business as usual.

This is the best option. Especially if you set the motion sensor lower to the ground so that the birds at the feeder aren’t triggering it, just the cats when they come up.

Compared to musk? No. Not even close tongue same tier. But he’s still a 1%er

Imagine paying 40billion dollars on a company to just sink it, and being like “oh well still rich lol”

If you like tech, especially throw backs to old computers you might like Veronica explains. She has 2 accounts on mastodon, one seems more active and the other on seems mostly to just point to her YT channel.

just search for Veronica explains under users/channels and both will show up

I found her cause in addition to being new to the fediverse I’m also new to Linux and found some Linux stuff on her YouTube channel.

Same thing is happening to me.

Nope, I even had one of those it was in maintenance. I had a set list of daily, weekly, monthly tasks , as well as w/e can up in between those, and on call certain days on a rotation with the other guy. As soon as our work was complete we could clock off and just go onto call frte remainder of our shift instead of mill around doing nothing waiting for a call. But with weekly and monthly routine maintenance tasks to do it was usually only a few days a week that we could knock off early and just be available if needed.

Then all of a sudden the manager got all whiny, “I have to be here mywhole shift , why don’t you guys” blah blah blah. Fucking cry baby.

Anyway I refused to follow their orders of staying till the end of my shift until I eventually was fired. Because I was following the shift I was hired to do, and given no valid reason of why the shift needed to change, other than some butthurt sack of shit.

So the tl:Dr of that is it might start that way but eventually some piss baby is going to get it changed on you.

No but my post was deleted

Someone told me i was going to get banned for saying i joined lemmy.world on reddit… and it’s like… Okay?? This site is shit now anyways, so you’re going to ban me for using a different website, that’s a great way to retain users during your mass-user revolt crisis.
