They’re talking about the money. It’s the income that’s renewable, not the company.

This is the ideal meme format. Pedro’s smile is perfect.
- Comment on Business Insider would like Gen Z to know that anxiety is healthy and their problem is that they need more of it. 8 months ago:
Suzy Welch, an NYU business professor, previously said the trend is fuelled by Gen Z's "strong desire to avoid anxiety at any cost" because they haven’t made hard decisions or done hard things.
Theory: Suzy Welch emerged from a pod as a fully mature adult, and never experienced puberty or high school.
- Comment on Rant: Cura did the one thing a slicer shouldn't do 8 months ago:
Because he’s my nephew. I care about him. He’s only in high school, he’s saving up for one, and I don’t want him to be disappointed/frustrated and waste his money on a crappy printer. If I can steer him away from bad printers and software, great!
I also don’t want him to be discouraged. He’s smart, talented, and basically I want him to kick ass everything he does (I know that’s unrealistic, but hey, that’s the uncle in me talking). Plus, being good at 3D printing will be a valuable skill.

Don’t support corporate “personhood”. Refusing to call Twitter by the stupid name Musk has given it is 100% acceptable.

Ooh, I didn’t know that happened. Nice!
- Comment on Taylor Swift has won the Superbowl! 8 months ago:
I wouldn’t have cared, but I ended up rooting for the Chiefs because it would piss off people I don’t like.
I started watching near the end of the 4th quarter, and it turned out to be a surprisingly good ending. It was anyone’s game, right up to the end, and only the second superbowl in history to go into overtime.
I generally don’t like football, so I watched it Live from Bikini Bottom on Nickelodeon.

Still funny
- Comment on Who makes money when AI reads the internet for us? 9 months ago:
This is only a temporary “problem”. Eventually, ads will be incorporated into the story, and/or advertising companies will include clauses in their contracts. I imagine those clauses will DEMAND that websites include advertising in AI readers or not get paid for any ads they run.
Think enshittification. AI readers are only ad-free now in order to make them seem like an attractive option, and get people hooked on using them. I bet the numbers have already been calculated and decided on. Once AI readers are used by enough people, the ads will start.

My nephew wants to buy a 3D printer, and I’d like to warn him. I’m worried that I’m too ignorant to do it effectively, though.
What is a slicer? What is Cura?
Thanks in advance, folks!
- Comment on The FTC isn’t too happy with Microsoft’s Activision Blizzard layoffs 9 months ago:
Microsoft reneged on promises it made in court…
If those promises aren’t legally binding, then why take them into account in the first place?
- Comment on Bluesky opens to public registration 9 months ago:
This might have been interesting a few months ago, when they were getting the kind of free publicity that CEOs would kill for. Now that the momentum is gone, though, nobody cares. They took WAY too long to get their shit together.

This is by far my favorite answer.
- Comment on Comcast reluctantly agrees to stop its misleading “10G Network” claims 9 months ago:
Jesus. I always hated those ads, but even the industry’s own “self-regulatory” system thought 10G was bullshit.

Don’t worry, I didn’t.

They should see a doctor immediately. Nobody’s skin should be grey.
- Comment on Boss moved resin printer into my office and it reeks 10 months ago:
Good call on working from home. Insist on doing that until that goddam thing is out of your office. “Soon” is WAY too vague.
- Comment on Honda debuts new global EV series, Honda Zero, coming in 2026 10 months ago:
Don’t worry, folks. Most of the time, concept cars exist solely to look interesting and get people talking, especially when it’s from a major manufacturer. I’m sure the production model will be much more

I’ve watched several videos! I know next to nothing about guns, so hearing about the oddities is a fun way to learn.
It’s also fascinating that Robbie finds a way to balance her celebrity career with moderating a community on Lemmy lol

Hey, cool! I didn’t know about Scaled sorting. Thanks again!

My sympathies to anyone who has to use reddit because their niche community either doesn’t have enough activity or doesn’t exist at all.
I’m more of a casual user who’s just here for the news and memes, so fortunately I don’t have that problem.

For me, I don’t quite make him the good guy, but I do root for him (in the specific sense that I want to see him grow and become a better person). I understand what you’re concerned about, and it’s a good point.

It’s vital to understand that Archie Bunker was written as a bigot intentionally. You’re meant to laugh at him, not with him. The show deliberately addressed controversial social subjects.
