  • I saw your account is about the same age as mine. I started in .world and moved to dbzer0 within a year (so I’ve been on Lemmy for 3 years).

    Lemmy today is no where near Lemmy 3 years ago. Repost bots aren’t needed anymore. You could make the argument they were needed then but today, Lemmy has it’s own culture, its own memes, its own communities, etc. a blind repost meme doesn’t make sense anymore.

    If you’re tired of the same content, change your settings. I use top 6 hours new and it works perfect for me.




  • If the modern Internet has taught me anything, anything can be sponsored and embedded.

    Much like today’s jail sponsor NordVPN. Ever feel like you can’t access anything because of where you live? That’s because some sites lock you in. With NordVPN, you can experience the internet the way it was meant to be by forwarding your connection to anywhere in the world. Use code ‘TRUMAN26’ for the first month free.


  • Costa Rica has become the thirteenth member of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, with New Zealand exports to the Central American nation set to benefit from next year.

    It becomes the second nation to accede to the CPTPP outside the original membership, following the United Kingdom.

    Along with New Zealand, the other members of the agreement are Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and Vietnam.

    This is what happens an authoritarian demands other countries put “America first” by raising tariffs and being a whiney bitch.

    Good for those countries.



  • The main reason is that while there are people who are willing to politically fight for the right thing, there are very few people who are willing to die for the right thing.

    Luigi is one of those and even he has affluence.

    We need 100+ Luigi’s before we see the average person willing to risk their life.

    Think about it this way: what would happen right now if Luigi were to die by the state? If he can’t usher systematic change, what chance does my life have?

    This isn’t just online. While I’m not going to openly talk about what forms of resistance my local group has taken on, very few people are willing to do more than what we’ve been doing and it’s frustrating.

    Trump and the GOP are literally running the fascism playbook and we only have a few more chapters left until he has the ability to fully dismantle democracy.



  • The Behind the Bastards episode on autism was fascinating.

    I’m not going to do it justice but the tl;dr is that parents felt like it couldn’t have been their fault or their genes that made their kid this way. That it must have been vaccines or trans frogs or whatever the fuck they can blame. Because blaming something else made them feel better. And it gave them an excuse to not deal with their kid that has real difficulty.

    And, to a certain extent…I get it. I don’t agree with them but having a child with a disability was not what they expected.

    But you raise the child you have and not the one you wish you had.



  • The only way this will happen is through violence, and even then it’s not a guarantee.

    • conservative South loss against the north in the civil war and there were no reparations or punishment.
    • Nixon came the closest to being impeached and charges were dropped as soon as he resigned, despite the fact that the votes were there. We was then fucking pardoned because “we need to move on.”
    • fucking TRUMP will “learn his lesson” for forcing Ukraine to provide opposition research on Biden in exchange for security.
    • TRUMP again when he literally caused people to storm the capitol.
    • when Biden was in office, house refused to even push more impeachment talks because “he’s not president anymore” and then got Pikachu faced when he ran again.
    • when Trump finally was found guilty in New York, the judge fucking gave him no jail time.

    Democrats refuse to hold Republicans accountable and we need to start acting like they are part of the problem.
