  Good lord, just let people DIE. Imagine what a rotten place this would be if people with outdated mindsets continued to control the world decades or even centuries after their expiration dates. People were already angry about 80 year old presidential candidates… what happens when they’re 120, or 150?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon will “ramp up” Prime Video ads in 2025⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  “Tolerate,” my ass. I’m paying the three dollars a month for ad-free Prime, because I’m not watching ads during an election year. The damn election is stressful enough as it is.

  Prime Video is just barely worth the price, but now that all the Stephen J. Cannell shows have been moved to Shout Factory TV, I’m reconsidering. Between that and all the shows on Freevee (uh, what part of “ad free viewing” don’t you understand?), the only tangible benefit I get from Amazon Prime is free shipping… and that free shipping isn’t as fast as it used to be before the pandemic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Commentary, behind-the-scenes features, bloopers: What did we lose when we said goodbye to DVDs?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re a drip. I buy DVDs used from pawn shops and garage sales. I’m leaving a mouse-sized carbon footprint; there’s no “toxic trash” that didn’t already exist.

  I haven’t given up on DVDs. Don’t assume we’ve all abandoned the disc format, because I’m certain many of us still use them.

  Unlawful imprisonment seems to be more South Africa’s specialty. Cough. Cough.

  It saddens me to agree with this. Who knew Google would become as oppressive as fucking MICROSOFT?

  Gee, what a shame. Good think I switched to FireFox. Hey, does anyone know how to make chat work on FireFox?

  Because nothing is worth enduring Texas.

  It’s Vine time! What? Just… just bring it back. Call it “Kudzu” or some crap if Elon Musk owns the rights to Vine.

  Thanks for the warning. On Kbin, downtimes aren’t scheduled… they just happen, whether you’re ready for them or not. Why did I hitch my wagon to that star? “Oh, Lemmy is too complex to use! Signing up for Kbin instead will cause fewer headaches!” Except when the damn site is down for the ten millionth time. Then there are headaches a plenty!
