I know it’s hip to call Biden a 90’s R because he didn’t pass every policy the left wants with a slim majority, but do you even know what a 90’s Republican is / stood for? Because that’s when the party turned to Newt and I don’t see him doing ANYTHING close to that.

You get used to it after a couple uses - as in knowing where to position and how much knob to use. It’s always uncomfortable if you aren’t used to it.

I admire your willingness to engage and respond to vague BS. Keep on keepin on, dude. (also get some rest)

What changed is he started becoming more public. He’s always been a shithead. There were mentions of him abusing his employees back when I was in grad school in 2012. People on the internet just fell for his mythos and just kept ignoring signs to the contrary until he just…kept…talking… and couldn’t be ignored anymore.

It’s to prevent normalization. If you keep it in the news, then people will remember it when election time comes around.

Not sure if serious…

I’m not sure that’s correct. When I click your first link, it’s going to https://kbin.social/m/!technology@beehaw.org. What OP wants is a way to post the link and (in my case) go to https://melly.0x-ia.moe/c/technology@beehaw.org

You’re not paying them… you’re not their mother. You don’t get to force them to do anything they don’t want to do.

I’m trying to think of what it would be like if one of my projects had a defined roadmap and then I suddenly get hundred of messages a day telling me I have to do something. lol, no. Maybe if I was actually being paid well for the project.

… once again, the devs already said they would accept a PR with mCapchas. I don’t see why any capable dev would fork a project rather than just contribute code. The community can disagree all they want - it takes actual programmers to split.

And if other instances start becoming spambots, just defederate.

It’s bonkers how much money you can save making food yourself by just planning meals based on what’s on sale this week. People don’t believe me, but chicken thighs/legs go on sale here every 3/4 weeks for 99 cents a pound. Week’s worth of meat for the equivalent price of a McD’s meal.

I thought the free awards thing stopped a while back. I’d be surprised if a lot of people still had them

I have to agree - this is classic reddit. Spez obviously couldn’t care less about namecalling.

• The corp gets to use the CEO as a punching bag - which is pretty much his job description…

• Redditors can feel good about upvoting a picture “sticking it to the man” while actually doing nothing - participating on a site that’s still reaming them

• Buying all the reddit awards for the post, GIVING THE COMPANY THEY’RE SUPPOSEDLY STICKING IT TO MORE MONEY. Bullshit like this pisses me off after finding out the Lemmy devs pretty much make less than minimum wage with donations

So… “fun” fact since I was following that shitshow at the time. When r/T_D got booted off reddit, they congregated to a site called thedonald[dot]win. That site later got renamed to patriots[dot]win. They were very much hyping up Jan6th in the days leading up to it and were absolutely looking forward to getting violent.

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say reddit’s tolerance towards T_D was one of the root-causes towards what happened in J6th.
