Turns out that its not the specific few words, but the fact that Zuck wasn’t physically dragged/slammed/destroyed/evicerated or even just separated from his hundreds of billions. She actually just said some words.

Part of me wonders if it’s a recession, or if the ultra rich have finally squeezed everyone to the point it feels like one

What’s the difference?

Public get tired of bad economy, support liberals / democrats to do something about the economy

Then people forget who was in charge when the bad times started. Was fun talking to my mom recently about COVID and how the economic downturn and lockdowns were primarily under Trump. Not even trying to blame it on him or anything; just stating those coincided and were during his term because having an a basic timeline is apparently hard when it goes against the narrative you want to push, even when you actually know the years and months those events happened.

Oh no, someone enjoys referring to themselves in an unusual way. Lets start dozens of threads to bully them because I don’t like it! /s

When your comment starts with “but drag is extra weird, so its okay to be rude!” it seems odd to accuse others of it.

Perhaps if those words had any value, they’d be worth reading.

Tldr, but suspect you proved my point that people are way too opinionated about other people’s idiosyncrasies. Does drag even post anymore (or like that at least)?

And the same crowd that would spend their time making posts about a certain dragon poster all the time.

I’m on team Psyþik here. I always find it amusing when I come across the þ in the wild, especially when replies just treat it as normal because of how much San uses it.

Selective enforcement against minorities has a rich history here.

You don’t have any tea to spill?

Accounts whose profile page have urls starting with reddit.com/u are also sus.

Probably none that aren’t like someone’s personal self-hosted server intended for only them. I doubt I’d want to join such either. And any that don’t probably get blocked by other comms anyways, so it wouldn’t really matter.

I think that one originally was started for conservatives, but then it got abandoned and someone asked the admins if they could have it to make it a satire sub. Also, your instance does block a fair bit of comms, including ones that are for right-wing (like communities with taglines or website names about being racist and misgendering people) or tankies.

I wish the the original tweet would have at least mentioned that as part of their criteria for supporting someone who got a nazi tattoo. If he just left it alone after learning, there’s not a chance I’d trust the guy nor anyone promoting him.

Federation is less friction imo. If you want to message someone who has a signal account, you have the friction of making yet another account to message them. If you then want to message someone who uses whatsapp, you need to make yet another account to message them. Etc, etc. That seems far worse than the awkwardness of trying to interact with microblog activitypub platforms within threadiverse activitypub platforms. Granted, you still have multiple federation standards (ie: email, activitypub, matrix) that don’t directly interact at all (although that might be for the best).

With federated platforms, you can message anyone using the same federation standard. Unfortunately, there’s more than one, so you need an email address to message anyone else who uses email regardless of whether they’re icloud or google or aol or self-host. But you can’t email someone using activitypub or matrix directly. And even within activitypub, its far from seamless to interact between different parts (piefed/mbin/lemmy all work pretty well together, but interactions between more different parts because more awkward).

Work is great, people are forced to talk to you

Downside is the boundaries are narrower at work and if you do cross them, it makes the whole thing a lot more creepy and could have more potential consequences in a place that doesn’t just tolerate workplace sexual harassment.

I do wonder how many guys are unaware of how creepy some things might be because of their own experiences. Like, I had a guy show up at my work before normal hours while I was alone to try to hit on me and did so by asking such wonderful questions as “are you alone?” and “how often are you alone?” (along with a consecutive series of several other similar flags). And yet I can’t help but wonder if he had no clue how creepy someone would find such. Honestly, I didn’t even think the interaction was creepy until I realized he was trying to hit on me without actually showing any interest in me beyond my body, when it would be alone, and its opinion on reporting SA. I don’t get how someone could possibly think that’s a good way to try to hook up with someone no matter how “friendly” or “nice” you are in the interaction, and yet that wasn’t the last time he tried. Maybe I just don’t get hook-up culture or something.

I assumed they were saying the companies need specific amounts of revenue to cover their debts and if they lose foreign revenue streams, they’re going to make it up by increasing domestic prices.

Crashes can precipitate from small points of failure that are intertwined with bigger investments. The market is like a powder keg with people wanting to keep money in as far up as possible and wanting to pull out to avoid being the bigger loser holding the bag, so it makes sense people will look into points of critical failure where such starts.
