I'm back on my BS 🤪

That’s assuming that his goal is to run a profitable social media company that people respect, enjoy, and that makes profit. However, he’s loaded af and can easily pay for the best consultants in the world. Considering that, I think it’s possible that he might be reaching his goals, they’re just not what we assume they are.

ikr‽ my elbow pits have more tracks than those CDs 😪 /j

Bro 1: Did you get a boner? 🤠

Bro 2: Fuck yeah, dude! I was so hard 💪, I was about to cum in my pants 👖👈.

Bro 1: That’s awesome! 🤜🤛

Translation

Bro 1: I am interested in your level of sexual arousal at the bar. Will you please share that information with me?

Bro 2: I am excited to tell you that I was so aroused that my penis was fully erect, I almost felt the immense pleasure of orgasm and soiled my clothes with ejaculate.

Bro 1: Your enthusiastic sexual arousal report makes me happy. Let’s touch hands.

almost all of the women there

Pls tell us about the women that were better looking than your fiance.

I can see it in the Play Store

It’s possible I did so months ago, but I can’t be for sure 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Quick curious question.

Yesterday, my Android phone showed that Boost was installed by auto-scrolling to my 3rd home screen where there was space, but I didn’t ask to install it. What could’ve caused this to happen?

I use base Sync for Lemmy

yeah, im this 🤏 close to unsubscribing from any news related communities. the comments are mostly repetitive circle-jerks and antagonistic in-fighting. it’s really affecting my time on here.

you’re welcome 🙂👍

I don’t have the mental energy to deal with gaslighting today.

I think the argument is that economics and politics are not independent of each other. They are two sides of the same coin. Whomever controls the food supply has power over the population, which means it has political power. Whomever has power over the population, has power over the food supply. Basically, economics and politics are different perspectives on power.

For example, the political structures in the West create the rules over who gets to obtain power through the economy. From the other direction, the people with economic power get to control who gets to obtain power through the political structures.

Aside from zoning laws, there’s the lack of a unified federal intervention. This prevents any one area from addressing the local homeless issue because any area that takes steps to address it will consequently absorb more homeless individuals from other places in the country. For example, if a city in California develops a program to house any homeless individuals, then homeless individuals from other cities and states will be more likely to go to said city to get housed. Even worse, there are states that would actually pay for their transportation. What would happen is that either the city would have to solve a much larger homeless problem as new homeless move into town, or the initial wave of homeless people will be house while the new arrivals and homeless will stay homeless, leaving a continued homeless problem.

I know you, hi! 👋

It’s exciting when I see users I recognize 😋

the dick = la pinga, which is female

the pussy = el bollo, which is male

until next time, friends! 👋

Is the original Simpsons episode making fun of people that climb Mount Everest as a feat while also paying the Sherpas to carry all their equipment, food, & water?

I like FOSS not being mainstream because it takes a special type of personality to break with standard convention and make the extra effort to learn about FOSS. This weeds out a lot of people that would otherwise turn FOSS into Facebook or Instagram. Remember how Reddit used to be ~12 years ago? Look at it now. While it’s not entirely mainstream, the general population has at least heard about it, and it’s slowly become the crap it is today.

I’m happy Lemmy isn’t mainstream. We do miss out on some benefits of dependent on a large user base, such as specific niches, but at the same time, we have a respectful community that mostly adheres to solid values and ethical standards. People here are building a supportive community.

That wasn’t my experience with Reddit for about the last 5 years. It became an idea popularity contest, where the same repeated joke was the top comment and dissenting voices were buried under a sea of downvotes. Discussions were about who was right rather than what idea made better sense for the topic. While Lemmy still has remnants of that stemming from the recent migration, but it is nowhere near to Reddit’s level.

Coincidentally, I was already on my way out of Reddit when the API fiasco happened and got lucky enough to hear about Lemmy before I completely left. I’m never going back to Reddit, just like I’m never going back to FB and IG. Hopefully, if Lemmy starts becoming mainstream and the culture changes, the ability for instances to defederate will be helpful at maintaining the community-feel of this place.
