What if the hives are rent controlled?

After you listen to a song, the secret police from the RIAA come and lock it up in a small, dank cell given minimal sustenance, until the next time they can send it to some seedy hotel, suburban home, or automobile, to turn a trick and make them some more money, like some sort of whoo-re for the ears.

It’s the lead that makes it slightly sweet.

Naw dog. Nursing school is way more high stakes. You can get kicked out of the program for very little, it’s very high stakes. There are exams that you have to get 100% on or you’re out of the program. Iirc, you can get kicked out of the program for not being 15 minutes early too many times. Not for being late, for not being early. At least we compensate them with mediocre pay and shitty hours and horrible bosses upon graduation…

Don’t forget how the patient’s family treats nurses.

Reminds me of that subtle joke that I love but nobody else ever seems to get: Well, I defended my thesis in comparative literature, but it seems like he’s got a pretty healthy pulse to me…

Last weekend I used https://github.com/linsomniac/spotify_to_ytmusic to copy my Spotify playlists over to YouTube Music, and the shuffle play is SOOO much nicer there! That was my primary gripe with Spotify, the shuffle play is idiotic

I call her by her full name: Rosie the Roomba

Little known fact: he went by “Hot Rod”.

I often will do this. At the end of writing a comment I ask myself “is my desire to comment satisfied by writing this comment, is it more about me writing it than other people reading it, is the response to the comment more likely to bring bain than joy?” The answers often lead me to just closing the comment page rather than posting it, and I feel fine about that.

Another way of looking at it: Lemmy is retaining the engagement of the vast majority of new users who have joined recently.

You young fellas sit back, I’mma tell you about the time in '96 that I bought a 1GB hard drive for a thousand doll-hairs. And then later that year got 64MB of RAM for another thousand doll-hairs, and the next month the price dropped in half. I could run two java programs AT THE SAME TIME!

You can have my fireworks when you pry them from my cold, dead fingers. Which are over there, near the fireworks.

(Apparently) Unpopular Opinion: I think defederating Threads is the wrong move, because it just locks people into Threads. If people on Twitter had the ability to move to Mastodon AND still interact with all the people they did before, I think we would have seen even more people move. The only reason I still check twitter at all is because I have a few close friends who didn’t move. Meta is likely going to have big adoption of people who aren’t ready to go to Mastodon, but are interested in getting out of the dumpster-on-fire that twitter seems to continue to be. But blocking those people from being able to join the more popular Lemmy instances, given no actual policy violations, just will keep people in Meta that otherwise could leave. With the “however” being: It’s not quite clear to me that Threads users will be interacting with Lemmy as much Mastodon, if Threads were a Reddit replacement, it’s more directly connected.
