modem noises

I used to call support to see if the internet service was down when I couldn’t connect, now I browse to a status page to see if the phone service is down, and I work in tech support.

sad old man noises

right? I read this and my first thought was “only 20?!”

Us rare ones pay a price for it too. Just about my whole family is hard right republican and religious idiots. Life with them has not been great.

they don’t accept sources outside their local news and social circle where they accept everything as truthful and any outsider is automatically untrustworthy. I’ve run into someone utterly convinced that their local schools were forcing kids to become trans against thier will, because they heard it repeated by thier idiot republican social circle. No evidense required. Instead in thier mind burden of proof is on me for saying that’s ridiculous.

Even when they don’t wholeheartedly believe the lies they’ve been goven they will pretend to for fear of their social circle response.

You get what you deserve! #jokerwasright

I got banned from half the subs on reddit for trying to explain the scunthorpe problem on programming related sub, because all that is what happens when everyone uses the same automod that has the exact problem I was trying to explain and they also ban you from subs you’ve never even been to because they share a naughtylist of ppl who use the c word.

for anyone that’s never heard of it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem

reddit admins and mods are just using idiotic automation to shoot first and ask questions never

and also to help the billionaires not have to look at things they don’t like so elongated muskrats don’t get thier feewings hurt

gotcha, that’s my hope as well.

unfortunately I’m not up for growing a new community myself right now, tbh I’m not doing a great job at attracting members to the one I did start so I don’t think I should try and handle 2 already. I’m bad at social things in general but I try.

they ban for upvoting “eat the rich” too.

yet reddit admins never had a problem with thedonalds posters litteraly saying people should be shot and other violent rhetoric for years. the key difference is this time the billionaire class got upset.

it also flags “eat the rich”

I need a lemmy based replacement for MarchAgainstNazis since that mod team has been seriously compromised.

Can’t sound like you criticize reddit itself or admin actions in any way, benign things being silently removed/hidden. can’t say anything against actual nazi’s now.

I wish me would stop judging me in this comic. stfu, me!

resumes sitting on counch doing nothing, occasionaly checking the miniature doom machine to scroll lemmy…

your first clue was the link in the text - no shipper is going to miss having its branding in the url. the second was that the url it redirects to its obviously random bs and if you do a whois you see its def not owned by usps.

got a few of these phishing attempts myself over thanksgiving. holiday gift shopping season has begun, the scammers want to catch the less savy among us.

at least its self-pruning

“Public figures confused about what ‘pivate citizen’ means”

there I fixed the headline

most people like yourself never see it

Better?

Anyway their “philosophy” seemingly changes whenever convenient. No slander or misinformation there just sucky reality. You replied to someone mocking actual junk they at least pretended to believe at one point so I wanted to point out they actually have said things like this, coz I legit thought you didn’t know. At that time your other reply calling out their hypocrisy didn’t exist yet.

It’s tough if not impossible to find now, so I don’t blame anyone for not knowing or believing this to be the case whole google results are dominated by more recent events involving more recent emulation cases. But they have literally in the past made the false claim that emulation itself was an illegal practice. Then later they pretend they never said that and most people never see it. I’ve seen emails from the big N’s legal team making the claim, but it was over 20 years ago. I just have a long memory…

or the history of nintendo falsely claiming that emulation itself was an illegal practice when trying to bully and scare people into submission…

9 horrid plus 1 delusional that may swing toward horrid later for its own survival

I mean, good luck but I doubt anything really changes. I hope to be wrong I just don’t expect to be - less disappointing that way.

all the groups you cited? are they just toothless and making no impact because it happened way too late? or do they just have a very trash definition of what is intrusive? The major players still intrude all they like the second adblock isn’t there.

by the time ablock plus’s author tried to meet in a middleground advertising was already so far out of control that the users said “f that, no more” and most of us moved to ublock origin. these pricks need regulated into submission but it’ll never happen.

if it became reasonable, I’d turn off my blocking. ain’t gonna happen and we all know it no use pretending these companies are going to back off thier tactics.
