Dude, you just made my evening. I have an ad-riddled Kindle that’s now going to get an upgrade today!

Word. I bought enough safety razor blades for likely the rest of my life for about $75 (on sale)

I wouldn’t be surprised given the decisions he has made at Tesla alone.

Plus a highly involved, successful CEO for multiple companies! I believe any of that is true as much as I believe he’s a free speech absolutist.

I blocked the worst shit stirrers (just the ones calling for defederation with whomever seemingly every week) and my internet drama has gone down significantly. If I want a real chill time, I temporarily block .world. Less content but it gets rid of pretty much all the BS.

My grandpa ass (not really old, I just play an old on TV) just figured out how they work and holy shit. What a great feature!

I use Voyager and had no idea.

Join us in the PNW. Best move we’ve ever made.

I was thinking the same for a similar use case at my job that would nearly cut the number of phones we own in half, but we don’t need the stupid toaster to remove and replace the battery. I’m a goddamn cripple and can do that myself.

I literally just posted about this earlier today. I used to frequent the Something Awful forums. I know, I know, but I was young and at least it wasn’t 4chan.

About 14 years back, I was having big issues with my partner and wasn’t sure what to do, so I asked the forums for relationship advice. I actually got a fair amount of well meaning advice, but also a harasser. They initially just ripped into me in response to my request, but SA was full of trolls so I ignored them. Then they responded to another new comment I made awhile later, but the forums weren’t huge. Just a coincidence, right? I continued to ignore them.

We went camping and got back a few days later. I checked my SA account and found this person had gone through my post history mocking and bullying me and had collected info to try to dox me. I was pretty carefree with what information I disclosed back then and they had a lot. They knew or at least accurately inferred: the name of the small town I lived in, the areas of town we had lived in, the year/make/model of the unusual car my now-ex drove, which university I attended and my major, where I worked and more. This all freaked me out so I reported them.

The mods’ response to my reporting a user for harassing and doxxing me was, and I quote, “LOL faggot”. Such fond memories. I quit using SA immediately and worried for weeks that something awful would happen. Pun intended. Luckily nothing did. I have scarcely thought about SA since until someone brought it up here a few hours back.

My wife and I ran the numbers and, in our area, Uber Eats was pulling in about 1/4 to 1/3 the cost of the meal between charges to the restaurant and the customer. We were discussing opening a non-profit delivery service in our area. Turns out it’s pretty hard to do.

Aww, thanks! I had just woken up and my brain wasn’t functioning. Apparently it was stuck on “everyone is an asshole (including me) mode”. I sometimes have to take a deep breath and remind myself that I’m not on Reddit anymore.

Thanks for being so nice about it. People like you are why I’m here.

I’m very sorry. I interpreted your comment entirely incorrectly and my response was snappish and rude. I ought to have given you the benefit of the doubt, but instead lashed out. Many apologies, I’ll do better!

I’m sorry that you have so little faith in the 10 year olds you know.

Does your comment have a constructive point or are you simply the sort that looks for technicalities to correct so they might feel smugly satisfied about themselves?

They stole referrals. I’ll explain like you’re 10, it’s a bit much for a 5 year old.

Let’s say you watch a video with a link to a product in the description. Normally, when you click that link, a referral code is embedded so the person who made the video gets a referral fee when you make a purchase.

Honey would remove those referral codes and replace it with their own.

Hahaha, I know exactly what you mean.

I came to post exactly what you said then duck out, so I’ll just add that Lemmy as a whole is fairly progressive but .world is largely centrist Americans, has multiple notable shit stirrers, and a few of them and their alts are already here agreeing with themselves.

So yeah, I’m not surprised this turned into a dumpster fire of " ‘brave’ cishets pontificating on their standards of pronoun etiquette in trans spaces".

“SUPPORTER OF SOCIALIST COMMUNIST FASCISM”

Back when I started beekeeping, none of us wore any PPE and we kept getting stung. We started wearing PPE and it was better, but recently I’ve been stung a few times so I’m just going to do back to raw dogging it.

Yeahhhhhh.

My wife has serious ADHD, this is every drawer.
