You're not going to argue sources because you don't have any and your account is a 28 day old troll account.

It's easy to blame yourself for this stuff, but the people that are actually responsible take advantage of that empathy. All we can do is verbally condemn the people responsible and in some cases show action by attending or organizing public protests.

Its equatable to oil companies blaming consumers for plastic waste, oil spills, and fossil fuel emissions.

I very much disagree. Like it or not reddit has a large user base. Why not make it simple for people to migrate? All you would be doing is pushing away people from Lemmy. It's not like anyone that has switched to Lemmy is going to drop out because the software allows you to transfer information from an account from a similar site.

That's like taking away the import bookmarks and saved passwords functions on Firefox because you see Chrome and Edge as evil. If you want something you like to be successful, you need to make it convenient for people to try out.

The irony is funny, but that is a common idiom in english speaking countries. Biden isn't literally going to speak to Netanyahu about converting to Christianity as if he's some sort of political missionary.

Can't wait for the first person to come in here and spout some bullshit like "buT whAt iS biDen DoiNg aBouT gaZa?" Like he can single handedly stop Israel. He's been working for weeks on Israel to recognize a Palestinian state and to stop the violence and they've been ignorant to any compromise. Israel is going to genocide with or without our help.

Can we just take this win and encourage more financial relief for younger generations?

It's ~tangable~ tangible because there's a face associated with the story and doesn't happen nearly as often. The other example you provided would be in the news everyday. Its like if your tires were slashed this morning but you decided to tell your coworkers about how you spilled some coffee on the counter.

He's absolutely not Vladimir Putin but let's not hail him as this shining beacon of truth just because he's a martyr. He was still a Russia first nationalist that supported the Russians during the Russo-Georgian war and was vocally supportive of the annexation of Crimea. He even made a youtube video where he played a pest control specialist and explains how to rid themselves of immigrants while comparing them to fleas and cockroaches. In the video he is attacked by a figure presumed to be one of the muslim immigrants he is calling to be exterminated and shoots them twice in the chest.

Its true. Many people believe that anal sex was invented by the italians, but that too was invented in ancient Greece. The romans merely took it and adapted it for use with women.

Sick, so now I get to worry about the fucking emergency exits being ripped off the plane I'm flying on because the network connected torque wrench was hacked and displayed the proper torque setting while under torquing the bolts.

Can we not connect every fucking thing to the Internet?

Consider: Pirate everything. It's just a race to the bottom. The average you can charge for an ad tiered service will just continue shifting up as each streaming service gently increases their ad-free prices. If it was ~$15/mo avg before this, now Netflix sees the avg price go to $15.57/mo. If you're going to increase the price by 57¢ you might as well make it a nice round $1....Then Hulu sees the average go to $16.13 so then they need to increase their prices. So on and so forth until we're back to paying $60/mo like we did for cable TV.

And here's the kicker. They're legally obligated to do this because they could be sued by shareholders for not trying to make more money. And that's without mentioning that they actually prefer people to watch the ads because they generate more revenue from sponsored advertising. Pirating is ethical and cool. Paying subscription fees to trillion dollar corporations is cringe.

Had me in the first half

As I understand it, Lemmy does not have that capability yet and is one of the distinguishing factors between Lemmy and Kbin which allows mastodon account following. You can see mastodon content, just can't follow. (I believe)
