Why should I know this? Why shouldn’t I be suspicious of you linking to a website domain which is basically the same as your username?

What was the marketing that convinced you to buy it way back when?
- Comment on If I acted like a semi white power douche. On X Meta or whatever. And was a yes man to Elon and promoted the Orange Peel. While using fake photos of myself. Can I bilk them for alot of cash? 5 days ago:
They’re pretty far gone from shame, embarassment, or believing anything that makes them look gullible. So even if you did dupe them out of their money and donate it in a way they find displeasing, they are so well practiced at mental gymnastics as to avoid admitting they were deceived or feeling bad about it.
- Comment on Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired? 6 days ago:
If charging speed were your top priority, sure. She doesn’t use her phone hardly at all so the battery rarely gets depleted much, therefore how quickly it charges isn’t really that important. Not having to mess with a wire makes it more convenient to grab and go when she does need it, and more convenient to put it back when done. And no risk of damaging the USB port.
- Comment on Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired? 6 days ago:
When my mom finally ditched her land line and ported the number to a smart phone, getting a wireless charger that propped the phone up was a nice way to set up a sort of designated place to keep the phone (where the landline phone had been) so that there’s less chance she misplaces the phone or forgets to charge it.

- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Is it a cultural difference with Europe (and other parts of the world) to not go in the streets?
Yes, it’s not like it’s entirely unheard of here in the USA (look at what happened with the killing of George Floyd) but for systemic issues, it doesn’t generally get people in the streets, I think at least partly because there’s so many we’ve put up with for so long. There’s also the economics of it where we have less or no time off from work to get out for such events.
Are those occurring but the medias do not inform us on it?
There are protests happening but there does seem to be, putting it charitably, a lack of interest to report on such things, and the protests that are happening don’t seem to be of very notable size (again, that could be media spin).
Are people scared to protest?
Yes, I imagine plenty are, especially those who may be targeted by ICE or have friends/family who may be targeted by ICE.
Or, people just don’t care or are even, in majority, happy with what happens now?
To an extent, yes. I don’t know if I’d say that the majority are happy with the things happening, but a majority are probably okay with it, or just going along in ignorance (willful or otherwise), or too busy or tired just trying to survive rather than make things better.
- Comment on Why don’t wireless connections (WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.) use anything between 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz? 1 week ago:
I’m not sure what exactly you mean by “in between” here (between 2.4 and 5 GHz?), but commercial radio in the US is at much lower frequencies than wifi bands. AM radio is typically measured in KHz (the range is something like 600-1400, I can’t be bothered to look it up), while FM radio is in MHz (around 87-108 MHz).

- Comment on Is it a pattern for right-wing people to attack films, series and animations with protagonists from minority groups? Or is this an exaggeration? 3 weeks ago:
The answer is yes.
It was a pattern when you asked ~4 months ago, and when you asked five weeks ago, and when you asked two weeks ago, and when you asked about Zendaya specifically 3 days ago. At this point the more curious pattern is you asking about this over and over.

- Comment on When Lemmy got named did no one think that the "lemming" association might alienate people? 4 weeks ago:
From wikipedia:
In a 2020 post, Lemmy’s co-creator Dessalines wrote about the origin of the name Lemmy. “It was nameless for a long time, but I wanted to keep with the fediverse tradition of naming projects after animals. I was playing that old-school game Lemmings, and Lemmy (from Motorhead) had passed away that week, and we held a few polls for names, and I went with that.”

- Comment on What are the democrats actually doing to help? 5 weeks ago:
On a federal level, there really isn’t much they can do that I’m aware of. It’d be nice to see them blanket oppose his cabinet picks but that would only be symbolic since they don’t have the numbers. They can’t get any laws passed, and even if they could, Trump has no problem disregarding the law, which the Supreme Court says is fine.
If they wanted to go outside the law I guess they could try to organize some kind of coup, but failure at any stage would not only be career suicide but possibly actual suicide given that treason is punishable by death, and this administration would be gleeful to carry out that sentence against Dems. And if it did succeed, that still wouldn’t do anything about the oligarchy propping up Trump, they’d just have another puppet (Vance) to fall back on.
