Old reddit is dead forever

Lemmy is shit

There are no alternatives that scratch the same itch. The best I've found is to get in a discord for a hobby or game you like and make friends there

Fuck social media in general, all I ever wanted to do was talk with people about things I like without having to fend off shitstains constantly or provide 12 cited references for every fuckdamn casual statement

Any place with an audience of over 100 people will have at least one irredeemable assmaster and the number only goes up from there. The reason why the old internet was so good was there were too few of them to organize

I got banhammered back last year with an account more than a decade old for posting "Punching nazis is a moral good".

No warning, first offense, fuck reddit

This is a godless world with no justice and the only language it speaks is power.

Double fuck reddit

Just because I am in IT doesn't mean I can hack your taxes away, and if I could, I wouldn't because I like my freedom

Mirrors used to and sometimes still are made with silver nitrite, silver is a purifying metal

A lot of vampire behavior may have arisen from neurodivergent behavior as witnessed by ignorant peasants.

Can we not establish an anti-intellectual tradition here on lemmy like the rest of the fucking world? Can we just have one place?

And a lot of innocent people are going to die uselessly

And you are going to feel pretty shitty about your blase attitude once the riots start

If you have astigmatism or greatly different lens prescriptions per eye, it may be very hard for it to work.

If you do have astigmatism, you can kind of 'squeeze' or scrunch your eyelids down to compensate as you cross your eyes, and it may work better without glasses and closer up

Some people it just never works with

not a single person they would have let be president would ever have made any meaningful convictions for the 2008 crisis, this is America we don't punish rich people meaningfully anymore because that would be bad for the rich people

We're beyond French Revolution levels of wealth disparity and literally one bad season away from a civil war and 99% of you are just memeing and calling people doomers

Our grandchildren, if we survvie to have them, will be taught this era of our history as a bloody lesson in letting sociopaths unfettered rule

Too bad, unless we leave the country we will deal with it for the rest of our natural lives. Just that every cycle the average person comes out broker and broken

There's no getting rid of them now and the coming generation being any clue, it's only going to get worse over time

Imagine a world where disliking people like Joe Rogan and Andrew Tate publicly gets your family disappeared, because that's where we're heading despite a fucktonne of idiots coming after to say 'nuh uh!' like they always do.

Did you know that narcissists and sociopaths tend to target autists and depressives at higher rates than nearly any other at-risk grouping? Did you know their primary tactic is to use the autist's natural social awkwardness and lack of guile against them to shame them publicly to demoralize them into submission?

It's really interesting to read about, the case studies, the behavioral theories. Hell it even ties into anthropology.

And do you know what? It works really well!

Thats why sociopaths rule the world right now!

Congrats your ilk won, and look at the utopian paradise you neoliberal social rapists have created

Funny all the nazis on X say the same exact things as you do. I wonder why that is?

I don't think you think.

I literally have paperwork proving I'm not a narcissist. Needed it for my job clearances. Project much?

Oh my did mommy not handjob you good enough today sweetie? you so angie

You really don't want to go down that line with a guy on the spectrum that has spent literally half a century thinking about space travel. You really don't.

If my experience is common, the update 'pre-loads' some non-locked system files as time goes on while the update is downloaded but not technically applied by the tool. So these files get changed without a reboot, and while you may not be using them at the time of overwrite, when you next load them, there are subtle incompatibilities with the previous version and your active data.

Kind of like 'The dll was replaced by the exe is still the old version', and this causes a ton of small but annoying glitches, crashes, and odd audio behavior.

Untill reboot, which happens less and less often now that windows doesn't bluescreen every few hours.

My conspiracy is that they are aware of it, and do not change it despite the risks it provides, to keep everyone in line with their update schedule, denying the user the rights to control their own hardware, again.

Most of that is because comfortable humans are inherently lazy.

This is classist propaganda and doesn't belong in your message

It went bad in less than 20 so....

We can't even keep the most prosperous nation on the planet from falling to fascism in 5 years how the FUCk do you think we're gonna keep an isolated crew of highly intelligent people with access to the highest tech available?

I know enough about human nature that the only way this works is if it started as a die-hard authoritarian religious movement and even then I only give it 1 out of 4 chances of making it 100 years into the mission
