Seems simple - just put a big tariff on war so nobody can afford it!

“We might not be a good fit.”

Not clear to me whether it’s saying the death threats come from lemmy or from reddit.

Lemmy has much less content at this point because there are only a fraction of the people, but I think it has correspondingly fewer assholes.

I’d say don’t believe in it.

So-so. Trying to get some electronics working but they’re being stubborn. Had to take a lot of frustration breaks.

But the Alchemist in Chief guarantees it works! Did you use fresh newt or canned?

If you turn your internet router off and on, it should be assigned a new IP address by your ISP. That’s how mine works anyway. This is why dynamic DNS services exist, so you can host things at home even though you don’t have a static IP address.

IMO the uneducated take would be to think passages from an Econ101 book reflected the IRL hardships of changing jobs, possibly relocating, being out of work during the transition, willingness to take a pay cut out of desperation, etc. The word “sophomore” comes from the Greek term meaning “wise idiot” - closely related to the Dunning Kruger effect. Also “apathy” doesn’t mean recognizing ineffective, self-serving virtue-signalling for what it is.

edit: wow, people REALLY hate thinking the laziest possible “action” hits the wrong targets. To repeat: boycotts hurt employees more than investors and CEOs. The important thing is to bury this piece of truth deep in the ground and keep feeling the righteous glow of “doing something” even if it’s ultimately self-defeating.

Yeah I still use Old Reddit when I go there.

I don’t get the problem with being banned. I used to create a new reddit account when I thought of a new username I liked. DGAF about karma so I just threw accounts away. On one occasion I did get banned and just created a new account, no big deal. If you want to go back just go back.

I just like lemmy more. I still visit reddit irregularly, like every few days.

A flying car like on the Jetsons.

Since employees end up suffering more from boycotts than executives or investors do, I don’t think you should boycott anything. If you really need the delusion of being an avenging angel of justice without misdirecting it at people who are no richer than you, maybe go vandalize a CEO’s car.

I thought Reader’s Digest was for when the roll ran out.

How did those barbarians sit on the toilet without memes to scroll?

But as for the people who worked with horses, I’m pretty sure they found different jobs - it’s not like they were sent to a glue factory.

How did they answer the question about rock and roll being a fad?

Sometime in the future maybe people will look back on this as the beginning of money units being “credits” as in familiar sci fi terminology.

p.s. yeah I know “it’s not the same thing” - I’m imagining that a monetary system could develop from an official credit mechanism.

Sounds more like a Showerthought, but I’m going to allow it.
