A lot of teens in the US have jobs; I’ve worked since I was 14. At $10/month that’s like 1 fast food meal, and if you use it as your major chat platform that’s easily worth it for the convenience it offers you. And teens don’t generally have other major bills to pay.

Apple, Google, and Microsoft commit antitrust violations too fast and numerous for the legal systems to keep up.

That and they spy on consumers for the US government so that gives them free passes at a lot of things.

Let me introduce you to “MAGA Communism”.

2023: “We recognize that, in the next four years, our decision may cause us to have an even more difficult time”

2025: “Well I never thought the GOP was going to eat MY face! There was no way I could save seen this coming”

It’s 35m deep - for comparison recreational scuba divers go up to 30m deep and professional scuba divers up to 60m deep.

It will have to be well engineered and difficult to repair compared to a land facility, but nothing compared to like the space station.

Very cool idea, after 25 years there should be significant cost savings overall.

Damn you my go-to password in the 2010’s was “P4nc4kes!”.

So you started with gaslighting, now it’s “snowflake” and “crybaby”, that tells everything about who you are.

Yeah, that’s how dog whistles work.

Here’s one from 30 minutes ago my current time:

Note the “complete support for the Palestinian liberation struggle”, and any criticism of Hamas is because of is “imaginary” problems.

If I bring the receipts will you have the backbone to take the L and admit you are being disingenuous and I am not?

If you’re seriously interested I can bring you the receipts.

Edit: although to be fair to us both your instance has already been defederated from the most guilty other instances, so you would be the least likely to see it anyway.

Nope, what I’ve heard on lemmy is that Hamas killing civilians at a festival and parading their bodies is morally just and equivalent to black civil rights protests.

You can speak up about genocide without supporting Hamas parading around the corpses of dead civilians, but lemmy leans towards the latter.

Don’t be disingenuous about the conversation.

Lemmy is probably still one of the best I’ve seen; but that’s also a reallyyy low bar.

There is a lot of anti-Israel on lemmy, but I believe in good faith it isn’t coming from a core place of anti-semitism. Like like, anti-US if anything.

Funny that I was just watching Bill Burr on Conan say the same thing about Steve Jobs like 15 years ago. People treat him like he’s Nikola Tesla level inventor, but he’s really just ordering around the nameless/faceless engineers who do the actual invention.

I think collectively we’re getting burned out on hero worship or the lone genius myth. Every advancement is a collective effort.

They actually found a 5-second sleep embedded in the JavaScript, so it’s not the cache.

Yup and the reason was that all non-essential workers were furloughed because of the covid pandemic.

Nothing quite says Murica like your McDonalds being your “essential workers”.

Tbf the people currently most involved in incidentally preventing the spread of communism are edgy internet communist teenagers.

They certainly referred to it as liberation, make no mistake you are using Nazi wordplay.

And it speaks mountains that you won’t even try the deny that killing the Jews is your agenda.

you’re projecting your genocidal views on the rest of us

I’m literally advocating for peace, you are the one who thinks you’re pursuing a “righteous” ethnic cleansing.

Liberation how? Like how Hitler liberated Germany, kill all the Jews?
