They can absolutely go fuck themselves. I’ve already weened myself off of nearly every social media, stopped paying for YT premium because they keep doing bullshit I don’t like. I’m so ready for an alternative.

This is borderline dad joke for me. I heard it 20 years ago so i don’t know. Is there a separate category for antique memes? Lol

I’m torn, because I think that incitement would bring about the end of the trump era much more quickly, as it’ll get put down hard. But I also don’t want to advocate violence or for stupid people to get hurt for no reason other than their ignorance.

Renters insurance is your friend. Might be a good idea to look into, it’s cheap af and covers things like this.

Plaid_Kaleidoscope,
@Plaid_Kaleidoscope@lemmy.world avatar

You do, but its generally a lot less than repairs or a new laptop. I’ll give you my example… My laptop is a 2021 Razer 14 The power port had a broken connector on the inside, and since the way it was made the port was part of the motherboard, the repairs for that power port were going to be over $1700 on a $2300 laptop.

Renters insurance was definitely the less painful option. Just one of those things that may only be useful on rare occasions, but when it is, it really is.

What's a 'dirty word' that you hate hearing when it's used to describe something or someone?

I hate the word ‘Consumer’ or I mockingly call it ‘CONSOOMER’. Because that’s to imply everyone in the world is just cattle, but with wallets. We’re no longer customers. We’re consumers now. And a consumer’s purpose is to consume shit, whatever is put out there. Got money? Shut up and consume, it’s what...

Shock! I imagine those are the same owners who bought in because of his rhetoric to begin with. Anecdotally, it seems as if less “car people” buy Tesla’s, as in they aren’t buying it for the technology or the engineering of the product itself.

But that’s just an outsiders pov.

  1. do they not see the irony of going on about religious liberty while actively imposing their religion on others?>

No. No they do not.

I know more about these places than I’d care to. I’m not surprised one bit to read this. Those COs in these little tiny hick towns take things way too far.

Money seems to be the difference. I’ve been through the legal system and let me tell you that I wouldn’t be out campaigning if I had three indictments. I’d be sitting in a cell waiting for trial or a plea deal. The fact that he has been spared the same humiliation that anyone else would have been is a crime in and of itself.

Nah I keep my place pretty tidy out of habit. After I disregarded the advice to clean your surroundings before dosing 'shrooms, I’ll not make that mistake again. It makes a world of difference to any occasion.

People probably think you’re just exaggerating, but no. This is a very common personality for rural white men to have. It’s their “protect my kin” fantasy of the government and minorities cresting the horizon coming to take their freedom away so they can go out in a blaze of glory.

In reality, most of them wouldn’t be able to get a shot off before they knew what was happening.

Then who exactly is supposed to be the check on the courts? Is that not precisely the domain of the legislative wing of govt? That’s like some basic civics shit.

@Plaid_Kaleidoscope@lemmy.world avatar

It does the exact same thing to me. But if I go in my gallery and make a copy of the picture and upload that, it works correctly.

I don’t get it either.

Tesla exaggerated EV range so much that drivers thought cars were broken (arstechnica.com)

Tesla has consistently exaggerated the driving range of its electric vehicles, reportedly leading car owners to think something was broken when actual driving range was much lower than advertised. When these owners scheduled service appointments to fix the problem, Tesla canceled the appointments because there was no way to...

Oh wow, ok. Thank you for the info. I wasn’t really sure what to search for since I don’t know how these things work. Just wanted to make sure that using the recent “old lemmy” thing wasn’t causing me issues.

Have a good day!

Do people just not use the YouTube subscription feed?

I consistently hear people on YouTube complain that the subscribe button doesn’t do anything for viewers, now that channel notifications are controlled by the bell. But it does do something: it puts the videos from that channel in your subscription feed, which is readily accessible on all versions of YouTube. So why do people...

Plaid_Kaleidoscope,

I use it. I have all notifications turned off, so that’s how I keep up with my channels.

Do what I did and just get the screen fixed man. The s20 fe is such a good phone, I can’t justify the cost of a new model when this one is more than fine. Little to no battery or performance drop after 2 years.

Ah fair enough man. I’ll tell you my problem, is that as much as I’d like to try other brands like Sony or whatever, my watch, earbuds, and TVs are all Samsung and everything works pretty well together (for the most part), so I’m hesitant to potentially fuck that up.

Wtf, is this legit? Never seen it before.

Plaid_Kaleidoscope,

Yeah obviously I mean I know it couldn’t work, but I’ve never even heard of this as a copy protection method. What was it used on? Like Hollywood?

Let’s be real though, the same thing happens all the time when a site is young. People like Us who are willing to move over to a new platform and give it a solid effort aren’t the ones who ruined the last few sites like digg and reddit.

Once the masses get here things are going to change, and I’m not looking Forward to it. Things here are nice, if a little quiet. Good conversation, but not enough yet.

I’ll admit, I’m new to the concept of federation. Ive read a bit, but it’s hard to imagine how that all works once the scale goes crazy. It’ll be interesting, and I hope it grows to the point where I see exactly what you mean.

That’s an amazing story! I’ve never been out west, but Bonneville would be awesome. Over 400 on salt sounds absolutely nuts.

Did you ever determine what was causing the spins? Aero or mechanical?
