One of the funniest aspects of Detroit is how bastardized all the French street names are pronounced by locals. Gratiot, Dequindre, Livernois come to mind but there are too many examples.
- Comment on Xmas at the mega church 3 days ago:
As someone raised Catholic my first visit to a Christian church looked wild.
Padded pews I can hang with. Drums? Electric guitars? Blasphemy I tell ya
- Comment on Getting too expensive 2 weeks ago:
When our cats sit together in the blanket basket I try to auction it to my wife as a luxury gift set.
Most she ever bids is like $75 USD. Good luck.
- Comment on Lemmy users who say that Lemmy users are smarter than Reddit users 2 weeks ago:
Ah yes well rounded with the 5 essential daily content groups: Linux, comics, Star Trek, lefty or tankie politics, and of course beans.
- Comment on YSK that Apple makes hundreds of millions of dollars with personalized advertising. If you have an iPhone, you should turn it off. 2 weeks ago:
It limits the use of a unique device id that can be shared with third parties. AFAIK it doesn’t limit anything for Apple’s 1st party apps that include advertising, like Maps.
Notably Apple is spinning up a demand side platform (DSP) where advertisers can spend money directly on Apple platforms to place ads. That almost certainly means that platform will have full access to relevant user data for their ads customers.

- Comment on Ok, boomer 1 month ago:
You advocate blowing up a parent-child relationship just for not getting the instant gratification of convincing them to change their political views in a single day?
That’s decades of history prior and more in the future hopefully. Some things just take time.

Pro tip for Costco pizza enjoyers: they give you rip top boxes unless you specifically ask for the Neapolitan style box.

This image is already cooked but check the scoreboard and tuba in the crowd. Doesn’t make sense this was taken today at all.
We’re just as gullible as the rest of the internet 🫡

Holy shit, that’s a good point.
- Comment on Seems legit. 3 months ago:
It’s funny that not only is there chance, but that your comment or someone making the same joke is the most logical source of this ridiculous bullshit making it into a search result.

- Comment on California May Ban Lyft And Uber From AI Price Gouging Users With Low Phone Batteries 4 months ago:
The people making the big bucks in Silicon Valley are often the people really good at understanding psychology and manipulating people’s behavior.
I honestly would have never thought of this either. I’m one of those traditional losers who thinks providing a good value/service at a sustainable margin is a good way to run a business.

- Comment on Marco Rubio orders US diplomats to launch lobbying blitz against Europe's tech law 4 months ago:
Also NAL and different sizes of platforms have different obligations. Could be wrong that the scenario I described applies to Lemmy.

I’m ignoring the US politics for a moment…
If I flag a comment on Lemmy for abuse, breaking community rules, or other reasons, do you y’all think I am individually owed a response from the mod team on whether the content stays approved, or was removed, that includes the specific criteria behind the decision?
That’s what the DSA requires among many other requirements.
