I try to remember that even in the Star Trek universe, the world had to go to shit before the luxury gay space communism could kick in.

She’s even worse than that, she’s a professional parasite. She runs a “home buying firm,” which means she routinely fucks people out of an average of $50,000 per transaction. To accomplish this, she uses media (TV, billboards, print, social) to convince homeowners of a lie (they will make the same if not more money using homebuyer services than using the conventional real estate process) by telling them a truth (the transaction will be fast and they will have money in their hands in just a few days).

It’s an amazing feat of leveraging human desire to absolutely fuck the dogshit out of them: they willingly believe the lie because they want the money in their hands quickly and in so doing, they get fucked out of five figures.

Since I get multiple robocalls every single day, it appears that nobody gives a fuck about the law, so who cares what the FCC says? It won’t make one whit of difference, they do what they want anyway.

For anyone who might not have seen it: Take On Me - A-Ha.

I didn’t really need to know anything in this thread.

Because realistically I can only scroll on Fedi for maybe 20-30 minutes in a day before I’ve seen everything and if I have more time to kill, Reddit is there. Although I don’t comment there at all anymore, it’s truly worthless for conversation.

Huh, never saw this before. Happy Tree Friends vibes.

Well, now you can’t say all the older not chronically online fans you know rave about it, because I’m older, not chronically online and I think it sucks.

Edit: I’ve just found out that “not chronically online” means “too incompetent to do shit online” so my apologies for misunderstanding. I thought it just meant, you know, not being online a lot. Like me. I’ve posted to Lemmy about 10 times in the past 5 days. I have literally no other social media accounts on the Internet. I was on Facebook for like a week in 2014 before I noped out. BUT! I can make an account on Lemmy, so my opinions about Star Trek are clearly only informed by being a chronically online mouth-breather.

I find it telling that Trump has not been able, in this second term, to do what he appeared to do so easily in his first term (lower interest rates). I believe in some respects, the United States is under tight control, and it is not by Trump - or any president. Interest rates are set by… Those Who Set Interest Rates. Whether or not that aligns with Trump’s desires, as it turns out, is merely coincidental.

Well, sure.

We’re not worthy!

There is a way to do it with several mods that I did. It works great.

This was what came to my mind as well, however Google does let you turn off your history for YouTube and when you do that (as I do) it just shows a blank page when you go there, so that’s one way it can be done.

Nobody does it because everybody likes to pretend they don’t like the crack until they have to go without. I do it on principle because YouTube has single-handedly changed a particular member of my family, one of the most innocuous people in the world, to someone who has loathsome opinions. I hate it a lot and don’t want that for myself. I am on no social media that serves up anything based on your previous clicking behavior.

Gasoline is $5. Diesel is $7.

Oh interesting to see Space Jockey using the Motter Tektura font from Apple’s early days. Copyright is 1982, so they were definitely cashing in, as Apple had been using this font for their logo for nearly 5 years by that point.

“What you lose” OK, lol.

15 years later and the Photos app on iOS is still the same nearly useless pile of shit.
