You don’t have to use a bank at all, you opt for a credit union or a host of other options.
As someone who’s banked with a credit union before: we still just call it the bank and they have all the same issues normal banks do with shitty tech support
If someone wants the ability to bank in person at all then it can be incredibly difficult if not impossible to find a bank that doesn’t have shit IT
You get more freedom with online only banks (what I use now) but those also come with tradeoffs like cash being much more annoying to use

So too, we could force OpenAI et al to compensate the copyright holders from whom they scraped data
Fuck expanding copyright’s power in any way. Effort better spent on making AI content illegal to sell or another way of ending corporate profit off of it

As a head CSR for my job : no mod I’ve ever seen is anything close to providing customer service and it’s hilarious that you’d even think that in passing

Suddenly ended when one of my mods mislabeled 1 post despite basically all of my stats being in the green
So, you know, totally realistic and all
- Comment on FCC’s Net Neutrality Rules Struck Down by Federal Appeals Court 3 weeks ago:
Man, that can be solved by the states doing that enforcing that federal tax isn’t paid or x, y, and z happen, resulting in you no longer owning your assets in that state
The issue is the US military, not corporations, if a state bothered to do something like this they’re obviously not going to just stare wide-eyed and open-mouthed as the corporations ignore the entire fucking Point. You might, but that’s because you love the taste of boot
- Comment on FCC’s Net Neutrality Rules Struck Down by Federal Appeals Court 3 weeks ago:
And who’s going to shut them down?
Again: without the State-Level enforcement they currently rely on OR an invasion of any state doing this then there’s nothing that the feds can do
Also: just gonna ignore citizens like that? Lick. That. Boooooot
- Comment on Rainbolt never misses 3 weeks ago:
I don’t think that’s all that surprising, really
Just a great example of non-Americans getting a taste of “what, you don’t know what state this shape is? What are you, stupid?” That they like to give us for not recognizing the shape of Lichtenstein on a map

For Californians, yes
I expect that the 2030 census is going to have us growing again
- Comment on FCC’s Net Neutrality Rules Struck Down by Federal Appeals Court 3 weeks ago:
The IRS can’t hunt down the current tax evading people even with state help
If state enforcement stops helping federal enforcement and the state tells everyone to stop paying their federal taxes then short of an actual invasion by the US military there’s basically jack shit the fed can do
- Comment on FCC’s Net Neutrality Rules Struck Down by Federal Appeals Court 3 weeks ago:
So… They’re responsible for the misinformation sent to my device against my will now, right?
Obviously not because our leaders need to be killed brutally where all can see what happens, but in principle?
- Comment on Odin - a self-hosted FOSS streaming service. 4 weeks ago:
Been thinking about swapping away from Plex when I move to New hardware later this month
If I’m reading all this right sounds like Overseerr and Plex both can be replaced with this, as well as a unified app for the two?
If so I’m def getting this installed and testing it out this weekend, my goal for a while has been to get the rest of my family into my streaming ecosystem but having to use 2 whole apps (Plex and Overseerr on a website) is enough to scare them away despite using 6 apps currently

You should always go to the hospital after a decent shock to make sure you’re good
My dad worked with electricians and a dude had a heart attack a few hours after a good shock because it had slightly fucked with his rhythm or something (I ain’t no heart man), from then on they enforced sending people to the DR if they got a numbing shock or worse
Same was the case when I worked in a warehouse and we only dealt with 110v

But yeah, we are “wasting” a lot of nutrients by trashing leaves like we do.
I was raised to compost those fuckers, more people should be doing that

My block of suburbia growing up only had a sidewalk for the last 2 houses on it, everyone else didn’t get one
So that’s nice
- Comment on They're called leaves for a reason. 2 months ago:
That’s probably the least efficient way to mulch that stuff, don’t just leave it out like that
And you avoid using the fossil fuels to power the mower you don’t need in the first place
Ah, should we all be using the push powered ones, then, cuz those are fucking terrible. Not having grass is nice for those who don’t live where it’s a legal requirement, but that’s out for many people, and you do have to cut it or you’ll get a different law visit instead

Drop the smugness.
Nah, you want to start it when you’re talking out your ass, imma keep it when I’m correcting you.
Dude, you don’t know as much about nuclear energy as you think. But you know even less about concrete.
Oh wow, good scientific counterpoints! If only you could Google it and find out for yourself…
Stop embarrassing yourself
You really should, 5s in Google and I found exactly what I’m talking about:
I simplified with just using “concrete” because “they fill a container with inert gas and pour concrete around it and it’s fine” is easily shortened to “dump concrete around it”
Shit, theres a YouTube video of someone kissing one of those, standing next to it for the whole video, nothing happens at all. You have no idea what you’re talking about
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 2 months ago:
someone else’s problem in the future
Nope, if you bury it in a few inches of concrete it’s literally never a problem again unless society somehow completely collapsed and all knowledge of nuclear waste is lost
I’ve seen this train of thinking somewhere. Spoiler alert, it was a bad idea.
I’ve seen this level of confidence from people who don’t know what they’re talking about before. Spoiler alert, it’s embarrassing for you
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 2 months ago:
these rocks are long terms with the consequences on humans and the environment thousands of years later.
You bury them in concrete, done. Nuclear waste isn’t an issue and hasn’t ever been

29 and it’s worse now
I used to actively enjoy Carl’s Jr, they made good burgers, especially for a fast food place
Starting 2022ish they started all tasting… Bland? Like no matter what’s put on it there’s a never-ending bland flavorless ness underneath it all and it sucks
Basically everywhere else too but that’s the one I noticed

- Comment on Indiana Jones doesn't "endorse" Nazis, Bethesda assure, just in case you were confused by him repeatedly murdering them 2 months ago:
But their while point was that they were super-smarties who made shit through communion with God directly, and the devices they made weren’t to be used
They’re an ancient Jewish group yes, but otherwise nothing at all like Hitler’s cabal bullshit and way closer to something like an ancient “secret cult”, made Jewish because it’s a series about the Nazis and them only winning due to Jewish technology (and also losing eventually because of it) is part of the catharsis of the whole thing
I read them a lot more like a group of ancient nerds. Which describes Jewish people pretty well if the friends ive had in the faith are anything to go by
I guess I kinda get your point but it feels so explicitly cathartic to make what IRL we credit to Nazis usually (in media their magic is usually them diving sadistically into what others won’t, for example) that I think it’s the opposite of tone deaf

What could’ve fit in a screen of text should not be a video at all
In your opinion, maybe
I save videos for later all the time, I just watch them never
Ok, that’s your own bad habit, guess you don’t need to participate since you won’t watch em
If some information is not visual-first, and not entertainment, if it may be important to people and should be spread, it also better not be a video
Tell that to broadcast news. The information provided in videos like this is basically never something original if it’s not entertainment, so you absolutely can find the information elsewhere
Still have yet to see any arguments as to how relevant content on a relevant link aggregator is in any way bad to people who don’t have a weird hate boner for specific media types, because there isn’t one 😉
