There is a pizza place near me that we used to order from fairly often. I was driving past and thought that I’d just stop in and grab one in person once. I would have had to yell to the cashier to order as Fox Entertainment (clearly not news) was blaring SO loudly. Noped right out and won’t go back. Have a few friends who stopped as well.

I won’t even click on Twitter links, let alone actively visit. You should do the same.

I worked at a cable company in my youth. This was the obvious response. Everyone seemed to think that if they could just have a-la-carte cable that they’d be happy (and thought that they’d pay less). What most wouldn’t believe is that a LOT of those channels you didn’t care about were either free to the provider, or in the case of things like QVC were actually subsidizing more expensive channels (ESPN being the biggest one).

Any chance I get!

I was a proud third party voter for a long time but changed my mind after watching CGPGrey’s video about first past the post. It’s not really ABOUT trying to change minds but FPTP voting rules really do mean that a two party system is bound to very basic human psychology.

Democrats also revealed that they were hacked. Iranians downloaded 2.3 terabytes of photos of Tim Walz hugging puppies. Secret documents as well. High School football plays and an old family tater-tot-hot-dish recipe.

It does matter. Minds have to be changed one at a time. A constant drip is better than nothing.

Maybe he should try “not committing crimes”.

Great! Please make sure that your server system is un-racked and physically present in court for cross examination.

I’m not spending much time on Reddit these days but in no way is this the end for Reddit. The VAST majority of the user base just doesn’t care. We may see more users trickling in and Lemmy is sure more ready now than ever but people are so used to being advertised to, that this won’t be a big issue long term. People are dumb.

I’m not willing to use it now, for free… not sure if this plan will incentivize me to join up.

Because the government can’t afford a book of matches?
