True, to a degree.

Though when I do smoke, I usually end up power cleaning the house…

Oh Jesus… not that shit.

I see you’ve met my husband. He is of course, a global leader in disgust gas.

I get deliveries sent to our bed. Usually accompanied by the sheets being pulled up over my head, the bastard…

LOL!

Oh, he’s definitely been having mini strokes, for years. That or the adderal induced lack of sleep is creating psychosis in him.

Or, and this is most likely, he’s just following his own father into the maw of dementia - and that is his personal terror, if the history about his family that I’ve read, is correct.

I have come across a bunch of long-term reddit users - over a decade at least - say similar things. Not many newer users. Definitely some sort of weeding going on.

Eh, I found old.lemmy.zip and haven’t skipped a beat. I like that there is no cumulative post totals. Cuts out the karma farming entirely and keeps the focus on conversation, which is nice.

I wonder if the DOD brass thought that “…Taking America back to when it was great…” meant we’d be using 1950’s technology as well.

Hmmm.

Haven’t heard Furii yet. Will go see what I can find. Love Figueroa as well!

Ya, I am out of there, finally got banned after 14 years for using a metaphor of a naugty child being punished to describe President Miller and it was less than a minute after I made the post that I was done.

The bots are being used to draw out arguments and get people reported. The rightward pivot once the IPO happened was breathtaking in it’s speed. Most of the subs I had subscribed to were tech, Apple, vintage computing, games, graphics/photoshop/digital painting and the like.

Within a month of the IPO I started seeing subs in my feed that were political and very rage-bait content filled. It was subtle to say the least. Should have been more aware of the change and avoided it. Honestly will say I stepped in it.

I tried to delete my account and through the new Reddit, it would not let me. Ended up getting a letter a day later claiming that my account had been investigated and the ban was permanent but I never challenged that fact.

I spent the night afterwards logged in to my old.reddit account and used it to delete all the content I posted that was not archived. It tried to kick me out with a blank “You’ve been banned” page several times but I kept bouncing between different browsers and refreshing all my old.reddit logins and finally managed to clean everything I could, out.

Something there is definitely up as the fact that the AI firm (chatGPT? not sure) they partnered with isn’t dipping into the datasets to train on as was intended, and was part of why the stock took a nosedive a month ago.

Definite fuckiness on Reddit right now.

Ambivalence gas. Ennui gas and my favorite (which I think already exists…) Procrastination gas.

Well, it’s been 70 years now, so it’s not as if the rich haven’t been playing the long game.

A lot of reforms post Vietnam were made to make sure that the US military didn’t need to draft.

Selective Service would like a word with you.

An all-volunteer military isn’t that ironclad an outcome. I can certainly see service being used to leverage young men and of course “inform” them with nationalistic propaganda.

Oh, don’t you know it.

If half of what cunts like Hegseth and President Miller want to do become action, this country is in for a rough time of it… starting with everyone under 27. :(

That is exactly it.

I have much fun remindng people today that the time when “America was Great” aka the 1950’s also saw the median tax rate on the ultra-wealthy at over 90%. It’s a rough third of that now since most are earning wealth through non-taxable investment vehicles and not taxable income-based earnings.

Lotsa paper tigers out there…

He is soon, and apparently the guy that’s most likely to replace him is tech-oriented within the company.

Maybe we can get back to expandable and upgradeable hardware again (looks at my 2008 MacPro that is still running unsupported installs as I’m typing this note on my 2010 MBP that is ALSO running an unsupported macOS install…)

I got something similar. I ask if they have need of the spider man suit and to bring the harness and lube and I’ll bring the Bad Dragon to peg them with.

Funny, but they never reply. I really, really, want to peg them. :(

Just wait - Millennials and Gen-Z - until there’s a war and an active draft in the US again.

Venezuela anyone? (Dear God, I hope not but the current asshat in the Oval Orfice seems bent on taking a page from the Monroe Doctrine and adding teeth. Gotta justify Kegsbreath’s trillion dollar DOD budget plans after all…)

Shit’s gonna get VERY real and you may gain a bit of insight as to why 'boomers just gave up and “went condo” as they used to say.

I just went and blocked the lemmy.ml instance from my feed. Thanks for the heads up!

I believe.

This is indeed a shit post. Make it so.

Oh, you know that the kiddie diddlers are rarely ever stopped.

Daddy needs to wet his wick in the freshest hot wax in order to feel like a man, after all.

Prince Andrew was just the surface of it.
