Oh it’s been like that long before January 6th, and long before Trump even stepped foot in the Republican primaries eight years ago.

That wasn’t me defending Jan 6th either. Trump’s little Beer Hall Putsch was frankly inexcusable, and the fact that he’s likely not going to face any kind of criminal repercussions for it makes the US look weaker than the Weimar Republic.

Because American politics is weird and partisan a f.

Anything even remotely left will get you labelled a Commie or tankie by the right, while anything remotely right will get you labelled a Nazi by the left.

I’ve seen women like that on dating apps. Claim to hate small talk, include in their bio that if you just open with “hi” they’ll unmatch you, and then when you put some thought into actually writing a response, ask a leading question about their interests or what they wrote in their profile, they unmatch you anyway.

Meanwhile women: 6 foot, 7 figures, 8 inches or move along.

Apparently it’s because a lot of agencies use software that automatically scrapes résumés for keywords that match job descriptions and they don’t work very well with PDFs.

This isn’t a PEBCAK error for once, and that’s very surprising because I’ve learned the hard way that your average recruiter is a professional spammer that will flood your inbox with shitty roles whilst lacking the mental capacity to understand that entry level doesn’t mean 5+ years of experience.

I’ve heard Iraqi Kurdistan is a nice place to visit and is relatively safe compared to the rest of the country.

Yup, he wanted to say it, but 28 day modmail mute and all 🤷‍♂️

This is actually a real post but I cannot find the genderswapped version. Presumably because the duplicate nature was identified and OOP was banned.

Actually, the screenshots of the ban messages were found via a Google image search and are not me.

But yeah, Reddit has a problem with rude power mods swinging their banhammer. It’s been documented for years.

Karaoke. Found out nearly two years ago that I actually quite enjoy going to a pub, getting on the mic and singing to an audience.

Very few of the people I know are into it

In my use case, my privacy is already compromised from using mainstream tech, also cached pages are kinda a big deal.

Kagi is tempting, and for how much I use search I may want to genuinely use it.

Google have really enshittified their services, to the point where I’ve seriously thought about using Bing as my search engine instead.

America has been full of New Thought/LoA grifters like these too: Neville Goddard, Napoleon Hill, Joseph Murphy, to name a few.

Can I choose ‘none’ as an answer?

Aside from being a difficult concept for non-tech people to grasp, the problem with the fediverse is that it’s an absolute nightmare to moderate. Nothing is stopping bad actors from creating their own instance and flooding others with illegal content. Lemmy World and Lemmy.ml have already had incidents where communities have been targeted and flooded with CSAM.

Social media platforms that I do have problems with can’t see a good fediverse alternative for these reasons, plus a few others.

YouTube as one such example: the problem is that video hosting costs a lot of money.

The moth transformation occurs when the cocoon is near a lamp.

Wasn’t expecting to see Hit The Lights in this thread.

That song is cool, but I’m more of a fan of These Backs Are Made For Stabbing and Save Your Breath.

Does HML actually exist?

Just execute him if he’s going to basically be in solitary for the rest of his life. It’d be more humane.

The European Convention on Human Rights forbids the death penalty.
