It’s been a pleasure knowing you DumbKid.

It’s hard to have this argument without coming across as advocating for eugenics, but I completely agree. The fact that increasing women’s education is so strongly correlated with decreased population growth is not a coincidence.

The difference between a eugenicists and whatever the hell I am is that I think the solution is to educate more people, not to control their right to reproduce.

How can you simply learn about a fact that doesn’t effect your life and just move on!? Get angry, be horrified, buy a weirdly long picket sign and go to every pride parade to express your discomfort and let it putrefy into a deeper bigotry

As a robot, finding bikes in pictures is really hard, okay

That always goes well, I’ll make the Kickstarter!

Saturday night special is my favorite one to bring up to the “fans”. Like I can see how you don’t necessarily get the others, but how anybody can hear “a handgun is made for killing, ain’t no good for nothing else, so why don’t we take our handguns and throw them to the bottom of the sea” and think that this guy is just another good ol boy is beyond me.

I like it in light powder, in sticky snow, that’s a hard pass.

I’m always down for a femboy bbq

I’m not a socialist by any means (well, I have been called one by republicans…) but I’ve always hated this argument. The USSR and China are the only two I’m aware of that weren’t massively screwed over in their infancy by the US, and/or (usually and) manipulated by the USSR.

IE is still there. You can’t use it anymore but Windows can. I also don’t think they can ever get rid of IE Options - they changed the name to Internet Options but it’s exactly the same and will break so many networks if they ever get rid of it

I’m guessing smoothness doesn’t consider the non-spherical shape of the planet, just the bumpiness of it. But I’m also some random on the Internet, so who knows

Actually you meant compliance, security has other random stuff. /s

Nobody’s mentioned it yet so I have to bring up the music video. It removes all the subtitles of the racism. It flashes back and forth between carefully chosen snipits of BLM protests - sometimes as they desolve into riots, sometimes as the police get violent - and scenes of the band playing in front of a court house where a famous lynching happened.

I don’t think they thought too much about the lynching, but I find it hard to believe that in a song so intentionally racially charged nobody glanced at the Wikipedia page for their filming location and thought twice about it.

This is why you have to make sure your depression is stronger than your nihilism. Your “I don’t matter” needs to be bigger than your “nothing else matters”. Subscribe for more useful tips!

You could also just install Firefox on your Android. That may not work in the future, but it will continue to work for now

It’s highly unlikely. Cloudflare is (I think) the biggest CDN provider and one of the biggest domain registrars. Whatever lemmy.world is paying them it’s inconsequential to their books. For a sense of scale, they own the IP address 1.1.1.1. (as an aside, 1.1.1.1 is a DNS host, but unlike the other popular ones it has a webpage so it’s very convenient for checking if your internet is down or if you’re having DNS issues)

Basically, the cost reward is way out of whack for them to consider ddosing such a small site.

Your username growing into this sentiment is exactly how I feel. I was super pissed a couple weeks ago, now it’s just meh, not my pile of shit to deal with anymore.

I mean if Lemmy collapses yeah… Otherwise this is the best place to kill time on my phone. I don’t want to be bombarded with ads and I like having a simple UI, I’m not willing to lose those things if I can find a viable alternative, but I prefer not needing to find one of I can.

I respect that a lot of people are here out of protest, I’m just here because it’s the preferable user experience given my tastes.

I’m still on reddit on the computer. The app and site both suck on mobile now, but RES is still kicking and until they kill it it’s still the best way to kill down time at work
