Not op, but i dont care much for the show myself either. I used to, when it was new and something different, but I believe I have grown past the pseudointellectual, but actual college humor. It just hits different these days

I really want to vote this down because it is textbook cancer youtube but I have to respect the precise craftsmanship.

Their name also kind of sounds like a middle of the pack car brand

I am not using apple products myself any more, but 7 years of guaranteed support seems very reasonable, especially when our dumb ass economy runs on constant consumption and growth. They could just as easily make their devices break a week after the legally required warranty period is over, and you’d have to buy another

I suggest lemmy.zip

A moderately sized instance with great stability and performance, a very diligent and transparent admin, and fantastic federation with virtually everyone.

Honestly I dont understand this experience. I haven’t had any bad interactions with .ml users at all, they seem largely normal people stuck on the flagship instance. What/where are you going to get them riled up like that?

I only blocked (not defederated) hexbear and lemmygrad, this way I can at least still interact with their users outside the instance, and ml users have not given me any reason so far.

Defederating should be a last ditch effort, not the first thing people demand when they disagree with another instance. Block the instance client side if you dont care for their content.

Do you need evidence that most people have a hard time being invested in something entirely abstract which they will never interact with for their whole life? Something they only ever saw in school books? Which is what animals would be for a massive part of the population.

Kids nowadays at best interact with pets, they know the horses are what people rode in those old western movies and cows are what makes the milk in the carton from the grocery store. Chicken grows in nugget form.

And these are all domesticated animals, not at all exotic in most places around the world. How would they ever come into contact with all the other fascinating creatures we share our planet with? Develop a passion for their protection?

Taking tourists into natural habitats is way more destructive than having a few specimens on display in artificial habitats.

Well how else would you suggest people come in contact with the wildlife of this world? Which is obviously critical in making people care about protecting it.

Crappy “documentaries” ain’t it by the way. Not to mention that zoos also serve a secondary function in providing for rescue animals, and animals otherwise unable to live in the wild. Zoos are not perfect, but are very clearly the best compromise for fostering interest in our wonderful nature in future generations, who probably won’t even encounter a horse or cow in real life otherwise.

Back when i left reddit after the 3pa fiasco I used a browser side script to sift through all my comments and posts, edit them to a fuck spez message, and then delete. Made the whole process very convenient.

It is called power delete suite

I think he does alright, everyone has a bad day now and then. Can’t blame him for slipping once

Yeah i only heard it called that ironically or as an in joke

And it can’t be changed? Wow that’s unfortunate

Speaking of which, I have been fiddling around with the widget and now it is gone completely… Any idea how to get at least this one back?

Well, yeah, that’s why we’re here. Streaming went to shit

While I agree that the monopoly netflix once had doesn’t belong in private hands, a public funded central media archive where all studios release their content would be preferable.

But still, for the user those were golden times. Whatever you wanted to watch, chances were Netflix had it in good quality and any language you wanted on any device with internet.

Streaming went to shit when everyone made their own. It was good and worth the money when it was one portal with everything available.

Now i am back navigating the stormy high seas, to avoid the treacherous shores of bankruptcy

Who needs economic exploitation only, if you can have physical exploitation too? 🥰

How is this news to anyone? I saw this exact same scenario on a bootleg phone video about a decade ago, when China first started pushing for influence in Africa. A Chinese foreman whipping and beating his african workers like a Ku Klux Klan plantation owner before the civil war.

Asians are super racist, especially towards black people. But because that isnt fitting into the tankie narrative it gets downvoted anytime someone alludes to this fact, at least it happened any time i tried. Even got a ban from .ml for it iirc

I have a mastodon account, but I use it more like an RSS feed (which I also have). The microblogging format isnt very appealing to me for discussion so I do that here.

Nothing wrong with either honestly, just that ketchup goes on fries and perhaps some other fried and/or grilled foods, but generally it has a very distinct and overwhelming flavor that drowns out whatever it is you are eating. Also why some chefs and grill dads will be offended when you ask for it, implying their food tastes so bad or bland it needs it.

Your canadian friends only use the right amount if they dont use any ketchup at all.

Ketchup on actual dishes is a sin and the culinary concession that your food tastes like shit and needs to be drowned in the allspice of condiments.
