You know, despite all the crazies on Lemmy, I still doubt we have people invested enough to bot us. Too small a market share and defederation makes it even more complicated. Our bad takes – 100% genuine!

Man I still can’t believe America greenlit this reality show for another four seasons. Between this and DOGE, the scripts getting a bit too on the nose.

I was never much of a social media guy, especially after moonlighting one summer as a social media marketer on Twitter and Instagram (really, really kills it for ya), but I was a redditor for a while.

I swapped over to Lemmy exclusively during the API fees, but to be fair I was already getting frustrated by the service. The karma farming was just too much, so many stupid reposts of the same stupid made up wholesome stories and crap. I think I only miss r/comics and r/idiotsincars, the later requiring a critical mass of people to actually be worthwhile.

So like, an animated series featuring river fish, like Finding Nemo but with the One Ring?

Can we both just hitch a ride with Mexico? At least they got their first female president, plus she’s a scientist.

You’ve got way more patience than me. Just yesterday my own grandma was offended by my use of fuck randomly and I ended up defending myself instead of apologizing (she likes Tim Walz so I said the guy called Musk a dipshit and somehow that got me out of hot water lol). I don’t think I’d even have that much tact with a coworker.

You know, we kind of do have it and some apps will even let you know. But it’s got a lot of flaws as everyone else has pointed out.

You know what I kind of want is a way to see karma by instance. What you’re going to learn is that certain instances have rather extreme views (including the default lemmy.ml) and seeing how unpopular you are there while being popular elsewhere might actually make that feature more interesting.

Like, sure he’s a -100 on LemmyGrad but he’s a 200 on Sh.itjust.works; take that as you will. Lol

No, I think I’m with you with NBC. Knowing full well it’s a cliffhanger ending, I’m not sure I’ll be able to look away anyway.

Oh my. I hope that ends up being an interesting night rather than a tragic one. Then again, if y’all serving alcohol… might be very lucrative.

Grog accidentally does something that makes them chosen mid-swing and the thing slides off like a catapult, knocking out several enemies and causing plenty of property damage.

Thanks for your thread, I also have to upgrade my Blade 15. It automatically installed Windows 11 which broke the built in monitor (lol). Let me know if you have any success with these comments’ suggestions!

I’ve seen it once, although more recently met a Genevieve which feels even rarer and just as pretty.

Sleep got a lot better for me when I followed medical advice and avoided my bed for anything but sleep (and the other thing, lol). Your brain needs to not associate your bed with work, school, video games, etc., so it can work as a trigger. Ever since I did that, I sleep within minutes of laying down.

Starting it strong, I see. Nice job Squids!

It’s tricky, since you have inherent power imbalances and the jobs dangerous on top of that. I think you can look at Japans older model where they basically just have a pen and paper and chill out in kobans (corner police boxes) to just help people with directions and any disorders. Less heroic TV types and more glorified public assistants.

Would never fly here, but police are adorable in Japan.

That’s the point of police reform. They weren’t prevented because reckless driving isn’t enforced here. The police here suck, and have always sucked, and should be replaced and reformed.

Now, if you’re done misconstruing my argument to fit your virtue signaling, why don’t you say the solution to hit and run drivers, and while you’re at it, street take overs?

Odd for you to call vehicular manslaughter an inconvenience, but let’s be clear: you can both reduce police involvement where it is not needed (such as mental health crisis) while still maintaining some order for actual dangerous offenders. You can also approach a problem from multiple angles, such as making prisons more about rehabilitation than punishment, or addressing future crime by investing in education and family welfare.

None of that means you also can’t address a very local problem of 40,000 annual hit and runs with 8,000 deaths. Living in South LA, you literally see street take overs at least once a week usually with stolen cars. Doing two things at once- that is, addressing the current problems while also preventing future ones- shouldn’t be difficult for someone “doing the mental work” like yourself.

I mean, so can I in a sense – guys passed out on my couch. “Yup, he’s too high to drive.”

In seriousness, I wish they’d just bust people driving recklessly. It’s almost every day now that I’m almost side swiped by an aggressive muscle car driver; it’s driving me crazy. I don’t care what they’re on, alcohol, cocaine, meth, or just pure uncut Machismo, I need those people fucking jailed before it’s my kid on the news about getting hit and run’d.

Professionally wrapped chocolate covered brussel sprouts.

A typical Wednesday in South LA.

Actually all seriousness, the illegal fireworks were going off in my shitty, low-mid income neighborhood. Granted, these assholes use illegal fireworks for everything (like, Mother’s Day, really?!) so it’s pretty par for the course.
