It was going before that.

Then the wet is oily.

There is a hole if you look close enough…

Macncheese isn’t a big thing in other countries. Now cheesy potatoes with raisins!

Caught covid in line at the gas station for a lottery ticket :(

As an introvert I’d rather not use self checkouts. The possibility that something will go wrong and I’ll have to call someone over and explain it and have them fix it is much higher than letting someone qualified scan and bag my shit while I stand there silently waiting to pay as both the cashier and myself refuse to talk or make eye contact.

Plus I worked at a walmart for a year as right as they rolled out their mostly self checkout system. So many people lost jobs and the store lost so much money to shrinkage (theft). It’s the dumbest fucking thing. Makes perfect sense to have a few for people with only a handful of items but the vast majority should be cashiers.

This meme was brought to us by big self checkout and makes no sense at all IMO.

Double whoosh

I check out reddit every few days and tbh lemmy has the same amount of mainstream content. The only difference is that reddit niche subs are more active.

I think the fact that anyone can make the same community on a new instance diminishes niche communities more. If I pick a game on reddit ill find 2 or so instances with lots of use. On lemmy there will be 10 communities all mostly abandoned.

You can feel a difference on reddit though. Quality content and content numbers are greatly reduced from even a month ago.

If you are really unlucky the number doubles so many time you end up tied on the tracks.

Lots of money… like insane money for how much work it is.

Xing is short for kissing IE XOXO. So instead of tweeting we are now kissing!

It is, but they are spending less time on lemmy than they did on reddit.

and what have I got to show for it?

Another day older and deeper in debt.

This argument can be summarized as such:

You: We should ignore these people. Talking about them gives them power. Ignoring them makes them go away.

Me: Ignoring them allows them to do bad shit. Talking about the bad things they do allows everyone to understand they are bad people and should not be allowed power.

Rinse and repeat. You’re obviously not going to convince me that burying my head in sand will make trump magically not a huge political threat and I’m not going to convince you that the best way to prevent people like trump is to make sure we loudly proclaim all the bad shit they do.

So if you just have to have the final word feel free to respond but as I’ve stated a few times. I think your political philosophy is not only idiotic but is what caused us to be in the situation we are in today. But I’m not going to respond to you about this topic any more.

Actions like yours are what allowed the last 8 years to happen.

Acknowledging something happened and discussing it is not the same as legitimizing something.

Only if you cherry pick your history examples.

I’ve been around the past 8 years. I’m just not trying to bury my head like an ostrich because I cant control what I read.

I get the argument that we shouldnt be revering these people by continually discussing them. But my beliefs are more along the lines that history should be discussed and the action of these people should be discussed so it stays in the forefront and people know.

I understand, I just dont think it is the “problem” you seem to think it is.

I understand I just think your argument is weak for it. You are telling someone to self censor news they post and you could just as easily self censor news you read.

If it’s such a trigger topic for you that you lash out on someone posting news about it then maybe you need to self evaluate and make better choices about what news you take in.
