Chavs and yobs would actively fight with rednecks.
Worst of the British urban population and worst of the American rural population. They wouldn’t xo exist

Chavs. As in the Burberry hat meme?
Or the versions without the hats. Who are apparentley just called Yobs?

Valve bros dont need to worry about what happens in life after gaben, because I think gaben is going to ascend to cyberspace before the end.

No, they dont,
just like how the US doesn’t want the dumbshit “my way or the highway” western canadian separatists.immigration is difficult, you’ve got to be extremely rich, smart and highly skilled in a marketable and demanded field, or lucky.
most people are none of these things

- Comment on End of 10 - Windows ten is ending. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again? 1 month ago:
Im not upgrading my OS, and im not building or buying a new computer.
Im just going to ride it out until it explodes. the tech market is so messed up right now that I’ll end up paying more than what I did for my Machine in 2019, and it will be comparatvely, nowhere near as much as a performance jump as when I made the last switch from my 2012 build.

There’s been a mod that adds motorcycles and ATVs too but it’s clunky. I haven’t bothered to test the new versions but it used to be that you could only get on and off the bike from one side
- Comment on Future apocalypse movies won't have survivors scavaging abandoned cars. 1 month ago:
a bicycle mod literally just came out a week or so ago
- Comment on Future apocalypse movies won't have survivors scavaging abandoned cars. 1 month ago:
this is like, totally out of left field.
but if you want to live out the whole apocalypse scavenger, doomsday prepper fantasy. Project Zomboid and its mods are a great game for that.
- Comment on Getting mixed signals from Reddit. Furthermore I shall henceforth be on Lemmy full time. 1 month ago:
I’ve tried so many methods that ended in failure, I just gave up and learned to live without
different devices, AFAIK my work PC, personal desktop and both my old and new phone are probably comprmised somehow
tried using incognito mode, different browsers, coupled with different emails. even caved and tried a VPN,
always ended the same way. Make the account, and it gets shadowbanned as soon as I post. Even tried posting in completely different subs instead of the usual suspects.
until I commit to getting a burner laptop or some other device, they got me . I just dont care enough to go that extra step, its fucken reddit. the only thing reddit is good for is niche interest communities, hobbies, etc. the usual swill with News Politics and Sports is just blood pressure raising brainrot

I tried something similar and even waited not hours but months before I even attempted to log in. My account would be fine but the moment I post I get shadowbanned.

that part of my statement wasnt based in anything I know for certain, I see it mentioned a lot, I know they’re doing something with algorithms that auto-ban suspected accounts,
I wouldnt put it past them however. while I think my phone is comprimised anyway and unsuitable for going back to Reddit, I know that one way to get hardware id’d for good. is by installing that stupid reddit app, which I wont do ever

ml is unhinged. Its Tankies advocation for what they think is socialism, but they just end up regurgitating whatever the Kremlin propagates because they forgot Russia stopped being a Socialist country 30 years ago, and is a Capitalist Mafia state now,
- Comment on Getting mixed signals from Reddit. Furthermore I shall henceforth be on Lemmy full time. 1 month ago:
only place I’ve ever been banned from here was not paying attention to which “channel” I was in since I dont fully understand how Lemmy works, and I ended up posting a comment to a thread I saw come up on the main page of lemmy.world when it was actually a lemmy.ml link, and people over there, most of them dont take too kindly to you insulting their Russian overlords,
* .ml by and large are too ignorant to recognize the Russians aren’t their Socialist idols, they’re just a Capitalist oligarchic mafia state. So you make one comment that is percieved as being targetting against the Putin regime and you’re automatically assigned the label of a Pro Western NATOpill schill * - Comment on Getting mixed signals from Reddit. Furthermore I shall henceforth be on Lemmy full time. 1 month ago:
the second you get flagged for ban evasion you are pretty much dead in the water. and you’ll have to move on to drastic, expensive measures to get around it. like a new device and probably a new network
even if your ban reason was false, if you make a new account, as far as they’re concerned thats grounds for a non-appeal permanent ban.

r/conservative is just a rebrand and refugee camp of r/thedonald
Conservatism is dead. its just Nazis and Fascists who hijacked the term for better brand imaging.

Lucky you, you got handled by a moderator who wasn’t a raging Trump whore.
I got permabanned after a week long ban for “threatening violence” when I suggested that if a Trump was elected (it was in Oct24) started directley Aiding Russia in their invasion of Europe, that they’d probably end up with a dead president. I appealed and suggested that I wasn’t threatening anyone, and that whoever banned me, was politically biased and triggered. and they flipped out and perma’d me.

I was ahead of the curve, and got permabanned in October 2024 for Promoting violence when I said “If a president decided to betray America’s allies, and start directley helping Russia in its wars of conquest, America would probably end up with a dead president”
They basically told me to fuck off on my appeal, and I have since been Hardware banned from my main PC and my work PC, I still want to go back for some of the niche communities that havent emigrated over here yet, but I really cant be bothered to go and fire up a 8 year old laptop or something just for fucking reddit. its a cesspit and getting banned is largely a blessing in disguise.
- Comment on Getting mixed signals from Reddit. Furthermore I shall henceforth be on Lemmy full time. 1 month ago:
you probably need to use a new device and on a network you havent frequently used. Unique email addresses dont mean anything if you’re logging in with the same browser with the same cookies and “digital footprint”

Reddit mods are fat slobs who can be easily duped, but Reddit algorithims will autoban you for making new accounts.
I’m basically exiled from it until I decide to get a new device and sign in on a new network other than my home or my work.
- Comment on Did the western world just suddenly go back to pretending wrestling is "real" for some reason? 2 months ago:
Wrestling is a form of theatre.
Its just the high octane, sensationalized, ridiculous, coked up, american pop culture version of Theatre.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnvSs3HEz2o excellent video where someone talks about why Wrestling got popular
- Comment on Windows 10 LTSC – the version that won't expire for years 2 months ago:
I have so many old games and programs on my win10 PC that the amount of effort it would take to get everything back to the way it was, would almost argue for just getting a New PC and not bothering with the migration.
I know that its not based in science… but I just dont trust windows OS migration. I did it once from Vista to 7, and something messed up, and had to reformat the entire drive and fresh install, losing everything.
as for getting a new PC , hardware wise, it will cost me several thousand and will probably only be a fraction of an increase of the system I have right now. its just not worth it.
so all in all, I think Im going to just play danger zone, and ride Win10 into the digital apocalypse for a while.

- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 2 months ago:
If it didnt happen last time, and a close yet unsuccessful attempt was made this time. My money is on, Trump lives to start harping about a third term in 2028.
If it happens, its going to be a gavrillo princip type of deal, the more planning that goes into it, the more likely the conspirators get caught simply for the amount of surveilence that goes on in this world.
if anyone is going to merk a world leader. its going to be something spur of the moment, wrong turn, wrong person, wrong time.
- Comment on A 'US-Made iPhone' Is Pure Fantasy 2 months ago:
Its looking more and more like the end result is just going to be millions of Americans will have to do without,
and no doubt at the same time their oligarch fantasy-wealthy overlords will preach to them about Spartan values or something.

I dont mean to turn this into one of those arguments where fight over whether they are a millienial or gen-xer… But I do recall recentley seeing someone in that age range, posting a message
