That entire article reminds me of when I was told by my very rational and intelligent friends that I was overreacting to Kavanaugh’s nomination proceedings - something about how his nomination would backfire.

What a stark contrast compared to what we have to worry about now.

This is completely sarcastic but it’s so, so, SO dumb that this is in fact the sentiments of the ppl on the new the_donald website. Smh

It’s nip it in bud - which is not the nipple of a human, but the bud of a rose. Sorry for being so pedophile.

Nice.

Wow, thank you for sharing your experience.

How are you not higher voted. People on Lemmy complain about not having longform content that offers a unique perspective like on early Reddit, but you’ve written exactly that.

Oh nooo

I personally have not seen very many Lemmy posts return on Google searches, if at all. It’s not apparent whether or not they are indexed at all, and I would imagine that’s a big vector for new user engagement.

Wow, is that last point true? I guess I misunderstood how federation worked big time. I thought by subscribing to something like “news”, I was supposed to receive all posts and comments to those posts from all whitelisted instances like some kind of syndication. Is that not actually how it works?

… Siracha.

At least before the debacle with Underwood Ranch. I unknowingly bought extra before it happened and am close to running out. I’m not sure what to do afterwards but I’m not inclined to support Huy Fong.

Yes, it’s a less than egalitarian choice, I acknowledge that, but my empathy is only finite.

I still listen to To Far Away Times. That song is still magical to this day.

I love how this random post suddenly devolves into one of the most drama filled threads I’ve seen on my brief time on Lemmy so far 😆.
