Why bother. I’m here to lurk, post an occasional comment, and enjoy. Not to make a reputation or become visible.
Haven’t even looked into how. I think Lemmy is federated with some other types of fediverse styles, too? The interface I’m on doesn’t emphasise individual user pfps. I can see pfps but they’re tiny circles on my phone that I only notice if they’re pointed out.
I don’t keep up with instace drama too well and haven’t heard about lemmy.today. Mind filling me in? Just out of curiosity.
For one, it’s six seven, not sixty-seven. That’s the first trip up.
As for the second, assuming I understand correctly: It literally means nothing. It’s just a thing to say. And it’s funny when adults are baffled and can’t understand.
I did see someone point out that six times seven equals fourty-two. Which is neat.
Tyson.
Iirc, largest meat supplier. Which means they are a huge catalyst to the industry that literally profits on death and misery more than any other.
Their products are corpses, their human workers are in the industry with the highest rate of PTSD from their jobs, and by simply existing they’re helping create superviruses by fostering cramped sheds of half-dead animals that can barely move sleeping on their own shit and being kept alive just long enough to slaughter, using powerful antibiotics that will become useless a lot faster than if we used those antibiotics to protect humans instead of giving the perfect environment for viruses to adapt to and overcome them.
Fuck the whole animal agriculture industry, and extra fuck the biggest corps behind them.
That I was being complacent to support animal cruelty just because I liked egg salad and cream cheese.
I was vegetarian for 7 years. I thought that only obvious things like meat and leather involved animal cruelty.
I was very wrong. And when people showed me I was wrong, I took a good while to process it. “But the cow needs to be alive for milk. But the chicken needs to be alive for eggs. Surely it’s not THAT bad”.
It’s a lot worse than that bad. Once it fully got through my skull just what kind of cruel practices were involved, not by choice l, but by industry NECESSITY, with the animal products that felt safe, I broke down crying while I was trying to reconcile the fact that I was letting my taste buds drive me to support terrible things.
I did finally quit. These days I don’t really miss much, food wise. And life lesson wise, it helps enable me to be a less unethical consumer. A store/product is involved with something morally terrible, like donating a lot of money to fascism? Welp, bye! No more money for you from me!
I knew that new “no upvoting ‘violent’ content thing sounded sus. It reeked of trying to silence support for Luigi.
I wonder how resistant to that Lemmy will be, with the whole federation thing. Harder to ban it when it’s not just one domain.
I uh… I already started boycotting them a few weeks ago because I found out they donate red.
Figuring out where to get random goods while ditching Target, Walmart, AND Best Buy is going to force me to learn things for sure.
I hope they don’t. Please see straight through this giant toddler and show him that actions have consequences. Do not negotiate.
Teach him a lesson that the US is refusing to teach him.

Looks like I die playing an old Pokémon game. Nostalgia must hit.
Yes please. I’d love to say I’m a Canadian resident instead of a United Corporations of America resident. Especially without needing to move more North where it’s colder!
There are plenty of people in the US cheering for harsh retaliation, too. Despite being directly harmed by it.
This man is going out of his way to hurt everyone he can regardless, and everyone who can do anything here is just sitting down, shutting up, and obeying in advance.
I am glad that other countries are ready and willing to to hit this bully back. Seems like the best hope we have is from people on the outside.
I respect President Sheinbaum. I do not respect Insurrectionist Trump. I’d rather the United Corporations of America become Mexican territory right now.
I dislike video game achievements for this also.
If you’re playing a game just to fill a checklist so you can be done with it, why are you even playing?
If the game is so boring that you want to get it over with and move to the next checklist, then just… play a different game that you actually enjoy playing?
After all we just witnessed?
Four years stalling courts and avoiding punishment for insurrection, theft of classified documents, etc.
Getting legal permission to break any law he pleases.
Convincing even democrats that tge constitution, specifically the Fourteenth amendment, means nothing and isn’t worth acting on.
Openly planning the worst possible cabinet.
Not having any investigation or action on votes from targeted minorities get Jim Crow’d away.
No recounts when suspicious vote trends are spotted.
Survival of an assassination attempt.
… Yeah I’m going high. 70% chance minumum if he wants to. He could just order a public hit on the next in line as a presidential act. Clearly no one will stop him.
There should not BE a timeline where he succeeded the second time. The fact that there is implies he can do literally anything he wants.
While this isn’t a suggestion, just want to say don’t let other people saying one person doesn’t make a difference discourage you from doing what you can anyway.
“What is any ocean but a multitude of drops”? If a million people each don’t bother because they alone don’t make a difference?
Similar to the Starfish Story.
Actual suggestions:
Here I am just learning that there are tv remotes with voice recognition.
Cool as that sounds… tv screens with built in ads sound terrible and maybe it’s a blessing to be behind the times.
I hate that it’s so on-brand for the US to target a school.
