Good points! I should have remembered telemarketing, I actually did that for 3 years! But two years in office, covid let us do it from home.

I’m surprised to hear a phone for $100 referred to as cheap.

Fair point. That was the cheapest I could find one that did GPS, cam/vid, and have some apps on it. I do have a crappy flipphone for $30, but I found out that girls I date like to text. A lot. So texting/sending pics/vids was something I found I needed.

But yeah, my gf has a $1,000 iPhone. I'm like wtf! lol

Good to know. I may have to revisit this idea.

In your experience, is making your own bread cheaper than just buying bread? Or do you do it for the love of making your own bread?

I like the idea of it, but if it ends up being more expensive anyway, I don't really wanna do it. It's just so easy to buy a loaf of bread at the store.

But I also like the idea of making some tasty bread and mixing in some protein powder so I could have protein bread. lol

Love this cover!

I actually like the look of these!

I like the idea of it. I live in a house. And the windows thing stresses me out because of the expense of fixing them if broken, easy access for intruders, etc. lol

suppose we must push harder for remote work

But most remote work pays enough that housing isn't an issue. Many lower paying jobs require us to be on-site, and we're the ones that can't afford housing.

So I think the option is way more affordable housing, and removing the stigma around that. In my area it's called Section 8, and of course, those options always seem to be in the more crime-ridden areas. So frustrating.

Just curious, and not to beat a dead horse, but if Lemmy can give us notifications that comments are removed, why can't it do a simple ban notification as well?

Because I always get notified when a post or comment has been removed.

Seems simple enough make the removal notification that led to banning something as simple as "Your comment has been removed for xxxx reason. And now you are banned from the community due to reasons xxxxx."

I realize that my particular situation here has been resolved and we can move on, but I'm just curious if the lack of banning notifications is a software issue or if it's a philosophical issue for Lemmy and the fediverse.

Modlog, search for “harassing.”

And no examples. I still have no clue what they determined to be harassing. I got many nasty dm's and would reply in kind, but I don't see how that is harassing. Plus I'm quite aware that DM's aren't private. But again, their instance and their rules.

Not for your behavior on the previous instances exactly, but for starting up the same behavior from new accounts since you’d already been banned for it, which is against the rules.

Which we have already discussed wasn't done on this instance, in your community or any other instance. It's again, your assumption.

Really, let's just end it here. You obviously think I'm a troll. I disagree. That's ok. Let's agree to disagree.

I won't be posting to your community, now I know how your bot works, and we can just move on. Thank you.

Oh, man, I WISH this was a thing. I do buy cheap phones and run them until they absolutely can't be used. My current phone cost $100 and it's perfectly fine for what I do.

I do get jealous of the latest cameras on new phones tho. My phone cam sucks! lol
