These shows are both for morons who think this is how nerds act.

It DO! Which one am I mixing it up with then? Briar?

SimpleX doesn’t even have a desktop client. IT DO! Discord is mostly used for gaming.

It says information used for age checks will not be stored by Discord or the verification company.

Bullshit. Every time some bitch-ass company says this, 4-5 years later they’re like “we were hacked, someone took everyone’s photo IDs!”

The moment this is attempted is the moment I’m no longer on discord.

It sounds like you’re not in love with your wife to me.

I’m okay with seeing it from time to time - but when my /all would get flooded with PAGES, and PAGES of the stuff with no normal articles in between, I started muting those users.

Why? It’s too much bandwidth, too much upkeep, I already modded/ran communities larger than lemmy; I DON’T want to do it again, especially if I’m paying out of pocket for it. Having to deal with whiny cry-bitches when you DON’T ban something that they don’t like it almost as bad as having the stuff banned in the first place.

Nope. They’re federated, so no reason they wouldn’t show unless you turn all NSFW stuff off.

Nah fuck that. Mods are power hungry fat morons who exert the editorial discretion of a wet noodle. Almost every community in the fediverse is full of this crap. Things aren’t removed because they’re harmful, they’re removed because some mod disagrees.

There’s also the problem with every instance admin having access to deeper internals; I’m waiting for the day people start getting banned for upvoting the wrong thing.

I found that a total of like 5 people post basically all of the lemmynsfw stuff. Once I blocked them, it almost all went away. Pretty sure the internet is nothing but bots now.

Also, if you’re on the internet expecting all sunshine and rainbows – leave now. The internet is not a place for that. Everything now is rage-bait designed to get more clicks, and the internet has always been the wild west with major hostilities all the time. It’s not a good place to spend your time if you’re looking to relax.

The universe is actually expanding at a rate faster than the speed of light. There’s only a finite distance we’d technically be able to travel if we were to leave right now.

Do we have any communities for this yet? Dragonsfuckingcars or Carsfuckingcars? Asking for a friend.

You linked me to a site that I have to have a subscription to see the data - so I can’t verify your claim.

This statement by pew research says:

Only 21% of American families own shares directly, according to the SCF. Even fewer own “pooled investment funds” – such as mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) – or other investment vehicles that typically include stocks among their holdings.

Only something like what…33% of families have money in the stock market?

The bottom 60ish% have literally no savings whatsoever.

Edit: I was a little overzealous when I said “Literally no savings whatsoever”; it’s not literally no savings - but it’s something like people with less than $500 for emergencies and stuff.

CRT displays with old pixel art are something I taught her about very early on. Scanlines made things look different; and art looked better on CRTs because they were designed with them in mind.

I mean, I get it – Digital either works or it doesn’t. Analog provides all of that scratchy mess on the screen, distorted audio, etc.
