No way - you straight up say she enjoys having sex with you, and you're making sure she's taken care of. Who cares how it's done - you enjoy it, she enjoys it, and you both get to finish. I see nothing but wins here, king.

Imagine thinking Republicans won't cut public services... Fucking stupidity off the charts.

You mean it when to "They don't want my money anymore since they removed it from the tier I was paying into, so they won't mind me getting it in other ways"

Yup, and you'll see the idiots I droves coke to defend it, too - "but the water resistance!" As if they're swimming with their phone or something. The S5 was fine for using in the rain and getting splashed.

When they removed SD cards from the more recent phones, the idiots were out there in droves telling me how nobody uses SD cards but me. Crazy what some people are willing to store on somebody else's computer, and how much people are willing to over-pay for storage. Absolutely wild.

Right, and how does one define it sensibly? Especially when you're considering a law that affects a group of people as diverse as a country's population, and when it is regarding something that is dynamic in nature.

Why not make ALL salaries public regardless of if they're private or public sector? Imagine the fun you could have with that kind of data

The bigger problem is how you define "social media".

Do we can all message forums and Discord? Wikipedia has the "Talk" section, doesn't that make it social media?

What about the drives of worthy educational content on YouTube?

What about the flood of misinformation sites that are likely to pop up as they're going to be much harder to filter out?

Nope, in fact I got good at IT shit because it seldom worked and I had to do the work of troubleshooting and figuring things out. And times were better because we had that ability.

There's been this stupid drive of "user friendliness" = removing useful power features from software.

Now everybody just expects things to work, and they don't care about having any ability to learn about it or fix it, and we're all paying for it. Things are likely getting shittier over time specifically because of people refusing to learn and accepting "If it doesn't work, I guess I need to buy a new thing". Fuck that line of thinking - if it's digital, it can be done eventually. It's just a case of figuring out how, or waiting a bit for hardware to get to the point where it can be done.

Hold on hold on, are you saying the Lemmy server we registered on is... A LIE? THERE ARE LIES ON THE INTERNET?? Oh noooooo

Meanwhile we still have people screaming about the Sunshine list in Ontario, because it stayed at $100,000 while inflation continued to rise. If it stayed true to purpose, it would be closer to $200,000 now.

 

As a 10+ year Reddit user, I recently made the jump here to Lemmy and was hoping to re-join some of the old groups. Is there a running list somewhere of all the groups on here that started as subreddits?

What's the right term for them, anyway? Group? Sublemmy? Community?
