Pretend to be your friend? They were just taking your order. Why do you care if they are sitting or standing while they do?

The police shoving the meter right into the speaker shows how whack this is. Measurement of sound varies a ton, and if they just stood back they wouldn’t be “injured” by a 90db speaker

What authoritarian regime wants more oversight and transparency?

Software engineers at FAANG companies easily make that amount. And that’s the caliber of engineer that is typically making this type of exit.

You’re commenting as if your circumstances are the same as a tech bro founder’s, which seems to be incorrect.

This is expected. Only one affects the gamers in the immediate short term. I’d be shocked if this wasn’t the case

Yes, you’re talking about a personal “payout” thats probably only 2-3 years of a salary? That’s not much of a “payout” that’s just a nicer severance package. If you built a company that wasn’t about to go under, it’s not worth handing it to some asshole for practically nothing

7 figures??? That’s not selling out, that’s just trying to get anything for a sinking ship if you sell for a million. Thats barely covering salary+expenses for 2-5 engineers depending on level and location.

Journalism has been replaced with news reporting

How is approving trumps budget and candidates “fighting like hell”?

Tree shaking should fix this to a large degree though

Then what’s the point of the meme community? By that logic anything posted is.

You’ve broadened the definition so much the term has become useless.

1. I don’t care about fake Internet points. But a comment sitting at such a negative score so quickly shows the community does not welcome my content.
2. That’s just incorrect.

Here I am “supporting the local restaurant” but already am sitting at -20 points in an hour for stating my experiences.

On reddit there are more posts I wouldn’t have seen otherwise, and more opinions and people to talk with. There aren’t dozens or hundreds of people here discussing very niche hobbies, places, or events on an hourly or daily basis like there are on reddit. I buy the hamburger at the local restaurant when I can, but when I need a graphics card delivered next day, my mom-and-pop local computer store that sells to senior citizens has never even heard of a 5090.

Some of the sprites look so identical that I cannot even point out a difference without going back to the original game to look.

Disagree, as somebody that started on reddit 15 years ago who now browses Lemmy daily, I still read and post there more because there is more content and discussion.

People that say otherwise are living in a Lemmy or bluesky bubble

I do not think any of the 3 that I mentioned are likely. But that is the world view the parent comment assumes, and my comment is just continuing his assumption but showing why his extrapolations are incorrect

3 terms is 12 years. 2+4+4 is not 12

This is a situation that implies he is either impeached , resigned, or dead, so I’m not sure what his interpretation has to do with this conversation

He would at most get 2.49999 terms. You have not read the 22nd amendment. You can’t get 3 terms aside from repeatedly being elected as VP and the primary president losing office 4+ times.

You are making up definitions and are incorrect
