My guess, and it's just a guess, is the intent is to end independent media. PBS and NPR are 90% funded by donations. People won't donate anymore if they can't write off the donations, effectively killing them.

This is the way. I have an LG and bought one for my parents. Do the initial sign up/registration, then turn off Internet access. I actually thought mine was broken when I got it, but it was just my pihole blocking it. Temporary whitelist for setup, smooth sailing since.

Favorite horror movie? (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 1 month ago by friek@sh.itjust.works to c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

It's horror movie season in the US and my favorite type is zombies. I also love campy B movies. Watching Dead Snow 2 right now and I think it ranks up there with Shawn of the Dead and Evil Dead 3: Army of Darkness.

What is your top pick for whatever genre?

Chinese pop music? (sh.itjust.works)

Does this exist?

We have jpop and kpop, where is the cpop? The only things I can find through lazy searching are from a decade ago.

This is some good wisdom. I'm pushing half a century, depression since my teens. Wearing and having color around hits my brain in the right places.

One day only in person voting is purposeful suppression of votes.

Also, am coder, 100% agree with xkcd. I'm still amazed the Internet itself works.

I used to raise chickens. They are the closest living relative to the tyrannosaurus rex, and it shows.

The headline is bad enough but it gets so much worse. Shoot the kid, government finds no wrongdoing for the cops - then files suit against the mom for being an unfit mother?!? Stay classy, Mississippi.

I remember a thread on the network that shall not be named wit this question that brought me much joy. I'll start with a couple I remember:

Did you fall from heaven? Because your face is really messed up.

You've got wrench eyes, when I look at you my nuts tighten.

I apologize if this is not appropriate, or the right community, still getting used to lemmy!
