- Comment on Has America Reached Its Tipping Point with Ignorance? 2 days ago:
The internet has been around, as you understand it now, since the late 1990s. 1995 - 1996 is earliest analog to what we have now.
- Comment on For those of us that can spot the URL for "Never Gonna Give You Up" at a glance, we are getting rickrolled without ever clicking the link. 3 days ago:
how many people have you trolled that you know what the URL is?

They may not be for everyone but they help many.
- Comment on Reddit plans to lock some content behind a paywall this year, CEO says | Reddit executives also discussed how they might introduce more ads into the social media platform 1 week ago:
I had the exact same experience except that I never got onto Insta because Meta bought it.

I have eaten far too much popcorn this far, but will keep watching the collapse. My account is 17 - 18 years old at this point but I have not logged in for at least a year.
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 1 week ago:
lol lol
- Reddit sucks
- I can’t be expected to make a decision
- I’ll stick with reddit
- Comment on Supreme Court backs TikTok ban: App set to shut down Sunday 4 weeks ago:
The problem is saying that it’s bad if it’sa Chinese company but ok if it’s a US company. This is a racist and anti globalist policy.
- Comment on Moderators banning/censoring people arent oppressors violating your rights; they are customer service representatives curating the space for their intended costomers. All this to say, I see Karen. 1 month ago:
Thanks!

A majority sure but probably not too much beyond 60%. There’s a lot of pretty evident bad behavior on the mods side

- Comment on 38% Gen Z adults suffering from 'midlife crisis', stuck in 'vicious cycle' of financial, job stress 1 month ago:
This has been going on since mid GenX, believe it or not. It wasn’t until the Millenials, however, that people started talking about it instead of just accepting it as normal.
- Comment on Reporters Without Borders sues X 2 months ago:
And for a linguist the question is really whether there are native speakers who consider it correct. Here there are millions who say yes.
- Comment on Reporters Without Borders sues X 3 months ago:
I think you’d call this elision. Assume that the phrase is originally “the car needs to be washed” but you cut out “to be”, making it into a shorter form.
- Comment on Reporters Without Borders sues X 3 months ago:
To go after a loose group of reporters from different countries?
- Comment on Reporters Without Borders sues X 3 months ago:
They aren’t in the United States. This lawsuit is in France.
- Comment on Reporters Without Borders sues X 3 months ago:
Dialect variation. For me, saying “the car needs washed” sounds truly strange but millions and millions of people say it.
- Comment on Terrified friends burn to death trapped in Tesla as doors won't open after crash 3 months ago:
Being electric isn’t the problem. These are design choices that assume that things will always be perfect.
- Comment on Terrified friends burn to death trapped in Tesla as doors won't open after crash 3 months ago:
Any safety feature that requires you read how to use it has already failed. During an emergency, you have to know, intuitively, how to escape. It’s why panic bars exist on doors.
- Comment on Whenever I see someone walking around in clothes with big, visible branding, I can’t help but think they paid a fortune to wear an advertisement. 3 months ago:
I just think it’s stupid to identify with a for profit institution.
- Comment on Why is the term "bloodline" often used instead of "family tree"? 3 months ago:
I sort of feel that this has to be a concept born from eugenics to talk about how some lines are superior to others.

I think with LV, specifically, it’s things like wallets that just last forever. The rest of it, meh.

Yep. Real high end clothing just looks like clothing. You have no idea that the person you are talking to has an $800 sweater on.
- Comment on Whenever I see someone walking around in clothes with big, visible branding, I can’t help but think they paid a fortune to wear an advertisement. 3 months ago:
Yep. Some years ago, I made the decision to never wear logos or anything with a brand name on it. It’s a silly thing to do and there are plenty of clothes out there that are just clothes.
- Comment on Having $270 billion dollars and spending the bulk of your time trying to make more money is like weighing 900 pounds and thinking "ooh, I bet I can get to 1000". 3 months ago:
It’s more like narcissism, psychopathy, etc. The constant need to be better than others and worshipped for it.

IT here. They were terrible.

I assume that the plinth lifts it high enough for your finger to comfortably fit under.
- Comment on Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers 3 months ago:
Do people REALLY complain about Linux? There are nutters everywhere but I don’t think this is really a thing.

You’re being downvoted because everyone has stopped worrying about Netflix and now the zeitgeist is to hate Apple.
