I’m wondering how the hell channels like CinemaSins gets away with it. One would think that channel would obviously get taken down with the amount of movie clips that he shows. I know he talks over them and thus may be fair game but, that’s still a lot.
If I was given the option, against my will despite me deciding to be childfree for my life, as to whether I would date someone who is a single parent or have sex with someone to have a kid with. I would rather have sex with the person to have a kid of our own with.
Never again will I date a single parent, when I already did. She was a single mother and she more or less gave up and lost custody of I think two kids to two different guys. Huge red flag, I know. And I believe that’s why we probably did a lot together without child interference. But I know she wasn’t perfect herself.
I even had a couple times, been in awkward moments where I was meeting the father of one of the kids. It was just a series of situations I don’t ever want to be in again. You just run the risk of being involved in things you didn’t ask to have any business to be in, in the first place. If dating single parents is your swing, then by all means if you can prove to be the better opposite than the original parent.
It’s not for me.
They’re allowed to only share bits of what they’ve heard by other clients if it relates to something you’ve told them. They’re not allowed to explicitly detail names. That’s what my therapist does.
Sometimes I get a nice but small euphoric high whenever I comment something or whatever is addressed or liked by some channel I’m subscribed to.
On a more IRL-like experience. I was at a tech conference was and there was a booth hosted by VPR which was Vermont Public Radio and I really liked listening to them at the time. They had a contest, a free one-entry raffle to win some cool gear. And my history with entering raffles was always on the losing end of the thing, whatever. I just filled out my name, address and put it down in the bowl.
Didn’t think anything of it and went back home when the conference was over. Some 2 or 3 weeks later, I get a package in the mail and turns out I actually won the draw. I got a nice canteen, a keyring clipper, some stickers, some decals, a nice keyring and I think a hat too. It was a nice feel-good moment.
Fuck, every night I come into work, there’s always handfuls of people that has everything on loudspeaker.
Phone conversations - take that shit elsewhere! I don’t need to hear your conversation! Some dude flipping over a bunch of TikTok or YouTube Short videos so fast that they auto-play and sound like one long stream Some people repeating videos over and over for all to hear
I don’t even use loudspeaker because everytime I use it, people claim they have a hard time hearing me and there’s so much interference.
It isn’t a matter of what I’d like to see on Lemmy, it is more like, I want to see more activity in already dead and mostly abandoned instances on Lemmy and the fediverse.
“My PhD is hard for you, bby”
Teeth has got to be one of the most disrespected and undervalued parts of your body. Your body’s other bones can heal but then it’s like “fuck your teeth, I’m not doing shit about them”. And then we got health insurance companies who have the gall to not consider teeth an important part of your body that should be covered, got to get it separately and the costs are fundamental.
I mean, you smile with these things and they are key responsible for how you digest food, by chewing on it before swallowing. You can’t just swallow whole pieces of food without risk of choking on them at somepoint.
You can pretty much die from bad teeth, like rot and cavities. It is just a matter of when.
Oh god, the word salad. Not even going to try with you.
I believe there is some huge level of insecurity among people that make them act that way. It has to be. It’s their poor way of coping in a world they probably didn’t have any plans in how to navigate in, so why not just be a bastard online? It gives them a sense of superiority and power I guess, as false as it is.
If you’re having to go around and mindlessly pick arguments with people, be an asshole and try to tell them how you’re better than them? You’re most likely not better than them. You’ve only sunk down several levels yourself.
So what you’re saying is that you like the idea of online arguments? No, I can’t follow everything you’ve said in the first bit. If you want to argue with someone online, go do it in DMs or wherever else. Not at the expense of the community, nobody here usually comes to read sissy slapfights that usually escalate into insults and escalates into spite-reporting which drives mods/admins angry.
The Fediverse should be learning as to what not to be. This kind of behavior was very frequent on Reddit and still continues today. There should be an end to that kind of thing.
That is probably the plan and they’re only pretending to regret their decision.
You’ve basically answered yourself.
People just want a browser that is privacy-focused, ad-blocking by nature and doesn’t break anything that people try to use like services to pay bills through and even trying to view important stuff like through a health portal.
But people in Mozilla, Microsoft and Google have different ideas and ambitions that work against that. Whether it is AI-driven, catering to advertisers, breaking things when they decide to change something that nobody asked them to change and whatnot. That’s why everyone is constantly looking for alternatives. They just want out of the bullshit.
Not unless I want to pull another personal loan out and be paying that off for multiple years just to say I went to a place not home or not in my country.
Excuse you? What I said did not speak of anything of what my beliefs are. You are just assuming in a baseless manner. That is in of itself, a huge problem with society today so thanks for being a demonstration of that problem.
Obviously not all problems black people face are from white people
So you went on this entire tirade of rambling and you say that snippet. How about you project some sources that example that little detail, instead of virtue-signaling the way that you have?
I bet you won’t. You’ll just take all of the virtuous self-patting upvotes of your little rant like you have, and provide me nothing in return, just petty downvotes. That’s exactly how I expect you to behave.
Agreed. It’s like, we know he can do better but he just dumps out two or three very underwhelming specials. Like, is that how you want to bounce back from all that has happened with you? Just makes you look weaker. I took the opportunity to find different comics and listen to comics I ignored for years than just his.
Man, it felt like maybe an entire generation ago since I felt I last needed discs for any level of pirating.
The last time I used one was just to get some linux distros to install when the USB flash method wasn’t working.
Repetitive posts would triple. Karma-farming would be prominent. Geopolitical slapfights between Americans and International users. No good moderator/admin coverage.
Nothing really good, I think.
The point of the matter was, is that I knew I never wanted kids and I knew I never wanted to be a part of any custody-drama or interacting with the other parents or what have you. Yet, I was in one because I don’t know why and I completely disregarded whatever reason as to why since it was a long time ago, about 13 years ago. I guess I was trying to be flexible because most of my life, I’ve always had people tell me “well you can’t judge so and such unless you’ve tried it”. Well guess what? I tried dating a single parent, so they can eat shit, because it didn’t work out for me.
9 times out of 10, I’ve always had a choice to avoid kids and I continue to do so. Moreso ever after that shitty experience that long ago. That one singular point out of that score of 10, is accounting for when I’m at work and I can’t avoid them. So I didn’t really need a ‘lesson’ about what I said, in fact I found it pretty disrespectful because it is putting someone’s words in their mouth, even metaphorically. Especially when it’s a low-hanging fruit one that everyone largely knows about.
I’ve already learned that lesson and I’m basically saying - never fucking again. If it can be helped and it most certainly will be given how things in my life are going - never fucking again.
