Thanks for the rec. I made an account there. Just waiting for the approval now.

This is what I’ve been doing but it seems like for every five I block 10 more show up later. It’s annoying.

Omg I just checked out wefwef. I hope they release a downloadable app soon. The UI is fantastic.

Thanks!

Is liftoff in the play store? I can’t find it.

I was using Jerboa but I’ve been having problems with it over the last few days and was getting annoyed. I saw this morning that there was another app, Connect for Lemmy. I’ve deleted Jerboa now because the connect ui is much nicer and hasn’t been crashing so far.

Raw potatoes are like semi toxic. Do you not get any GI upset from doing that?

There’s definitely not an age cut off. In 60 years there’s going to be 80 year olds teabagging people in VR Halo Bloodgulch.

I’ve been saying for a couple of years now that I think within the next decade there’s going to be a resurgence in “dumb phones.” And other methods of disconnecting from the web as people start to get fatigued from being connected to everything constantly.

Dude it seriously fucks me up that the Voat thing was almost 10 years ago. It feels like it was just a couple of years ago.

Juris Doctor, it’s what you have to get to become an Attorney in the US and Canada.

Anyone have any good suggestions for blogs to follow? I just downloaded inoreader and followed some of the suggested ones on there, but I used RSS so long ago I don’t remember anything I used to really follow outside of my current interests.

Honestly, I’m starting to think the Nazis may have won, and they just shifted their strategies to playing the longcon.

Honestly, we are potentially on the cusp of the next great societal shift not only in how countries are ran, but probably also where the sphere of global influence resides. I don’t know how it will all end it, whether it will end with China superseding the US as a global influencer and power, or if we will go the way the Nazis have been trying to direct us since the 30s and the entire world takes a dramatic shift to the far right.

Quite frankly, it’s terrifying. Being in the United States and watching our political climate dissolve into a party who is afraid of embracing the young and go further left, and a party whose only interest is owning the libs and helping the 1% become even wealthier while the rest of us have to suffer through greedflation is really frustrating. My wife and I have talked about leaving, but we have JDs, and American JDs are basically useless outside of the U.S. unless you went to Harvard/Stanford/Yale and can land a job in Big Law, which we did not.

I’ve thought about going back to school and getting a degree in programming, or trying to find another way to learn and get the experience/certifications I would need, but I have absolutely no idea where to start with that or how to look for those kinds of jobs.

Was there even a release date announced?

I’m studying for the bar exam right now and really wanted an MMO to play when I’m done studying for the day but didn’t want to go back to what I usually play, so I downloaded GuildWars 2. It’s a blast so far, and I don’t know why I waited so long to play it.

The most aggressive free speech advocates I know are also some of the most horrible human beings I’ve ever met. They believe horrible shit. They want free speech because they know what they say is horrible, and want to be able to continue to say it with no real consequences other than being socially ostracized.
