The Internet gained steam through hobbyists and is now that corporate shell as described. In my opinion it absolutely was a better place 25 years ago. Today the internet is filled with social engineering everyone’s trying to influence something and it’s terrible.

Just wanted to comment to say this is one of the most awesome music videos ever made. Never tire of the song or video.

When people are content what is there to say? People tend to post about topics that anger or frustrate them. The quality of the post varies on the sincerity of the user. Anything from shitposting to actually articulate arguments. You’re unlikely to find the latter on any form of social media. Most constructive conversation happens face to face. It’s just too easy to derail an online conversation and there are powers that be that are literally troll farms because it works.

There was a message yesterday about the game werewolf. An informed minority will generally control the uninformed majority. You get a small number of people to troll and that’s all it takes to derail conversation around any topic they don’t like.

The Poe rabbit hole was well worth the read. Thank you

as the top result on “baseball” … that’s the point of the post :)

I just wanted to find a thread to talk about AZ comeback on Philly.

5 yrs? Those are rookie numbers. I “deleted” mine of 10+ years. Guess who gave a fuck? Only me. Here I am on lemmy rebuilding the dream. Plz upvvote and subscribe. Plz. K thx ♥️

Doubt is a sign of intelligence. Which can sometimes lead to confidence issues. Just try to keep things in perspective and not let doubt keep you from taking calculated risks. It’s when we allow ourselves to become paralyzed that things regress. A lot of it is environment as well so there’s no simple answer but I can assure you thet you’re not alone.

God bless the internet. I learned more about gas than I ever thought imaginable in meme@lemmy. I’m sober now so thanks for the good reads and info!

Depends on the line of work I suppose. Off the cuff? Nope. For the sake of the joke? Absolutely.

I was on tilt because I took the bait. And then I got confused because I’m like this doesn’t make sense gas is safe. And then I’m wondering why isn’t a pair of lungs on display not flagged as not safe for work. Then I looked at the forum and then I got even more confused because I’m stoned. And then I realize that’s a walnut and it’s time for a snack. A roasted one even. Boom roasted. What up. Peace out.

Yeah, I’m fine with the admins using some due diligence. There is some wild s*** out there that no one needs to see terrible and grotesque without warning. The most recent example that I came across was AI generated porn of “jailbait.”

Speaking only for myself but if content like that shows up in my feed I will not continue using Lemmy. So I am appreciative of the admins being proactive and if there’s something I want to find I’ll search for it but the example that I quoted showing up in my feed is absolutely unacceptable to me.

I’m not saying that piracy rises to the level of the quoted example but I don’t manage the server and I’m not willing to manage a server so if there are people out there willing to do it to spare me from nefarious things then power to them. They have to do what’s right and legal.

The entire discussion around " small town" is bs

I’m from a small town of 4,000 people in Northeast Texas and …in the late 90s…

Had to finish high school out of church because a kid literally burned down the school. He got expelled and on his way out the door he said I’m going to burn this m*********** to the ground and he did.

Person I went to school with got strung out on meth and decided to murder three gas station attendants.

So yeah the entire thing is stupid. As if protest and crime are new concepts due to a new world order brought about by liberalism.

These are serious issues no doubt but when I see all the memes about this song in particular all I can think about, " The sky is falling Chicken Little" or “if these kids could read they’d be angry” or “it’s funny until it happens to me”

Can someone translate this for us morons? I got confused when I read about breeding cats so …

The ERC-721 standard enabled an explosion of non-fungible token applications. Some notable use cases have included breedable cats, generative artwork, and exchange liquidity positions.

In light of your statement / argument, I’ll reframe similar responses in the future. What you say makes sense. Thanks.

And pretty sure this is the catalyst for reddit’s API changes. Other companies are getting rich off of them and they want a piece of the pie.

You mean y’all. Don’t embarrass us.
