You’re now banned.

Well, nobody certainly didn’t see that coming.

It was probably never true, but for many years I foolishly thought that ‘bankruptcy’ meant ‘going out of business.’ That’s what it means if a mom-and-pop restaurant or shop declares bankruptcy. When companies get ginormous, though, they never go away. Rite Aid will ‘reorganize’ itself with fresh investors, and it’ll still be a shitty drug store long after everyone reading this is dead.

This is a worry and problem I’ve never had and don’t really understand. One of the joys of social media (including the fediverse) is that you’re judged by what you say and who you are, not what you look like. As a lifelong fat slob and general ugly person, I appreciate that.

I welcome anyone bright enough to chat intelligently, regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, gender, religion, disability, age, etc.

Hockey has been dead to me since the NHL made this announcement.

It is folly to cover Scalise — or most republicans — in this way, as if what they’re doing is normal.

There are things going on that are less important than which monstrous Republican is Speaker of the House and which office Nancy Pelosi’s desk is in, but Republicans are fucking the world over in many, many far more important ways.

Then it has to be better.

And maybe some time before he dies, let Zayn Al-Abidin Muhammad Husayn out of this American dungeon.

Whoa. That totally Keanues me. I had thought of the lack of infinite scrolling as a bug, a feature I’d hoped was in development, but this srsly rejiggers my ears and everything in between.

I already spend too much time online, so … I’m with @[email protected] — no infinite scrolling, please.

Everywhere I go I’m usually the oldest person in the room, and I’ve been hearing that line since long before I’d ever heard of Donald Trump.

Always, the left has to support whatever bland middle-of-the-road candidate the Democrats put forward, candidates who seem idea-free and utterly without passion, because the Republicans have a terrifying candidate. Gotta take boring over terrifying.

And Bernie’s right. I ain’t arguing.

Sure is a bucket of swill we’re always forced to drink from, though.

“You are viewing this from Firefox on Windows.”

I should worry that this info is exposed?

I couldn’t stay on Discord even long enough to be treated like shit. It has such an unintuitive and clumsy interface, at least for an old fart like me.

I am grumpy today and also tired of Twilight Zone memes, but this one made me larff. :) Thanks

If that’s true, mega congratulations. I don’t know much about the way things are in the UK.

If someone said that about my U S of A, though, I’d chuckle.

How utterly ordinary and predictable. The only thing unusual is, such deals usually don’t make headlines.

This is why we’re doomed.

There’s a Firefox add-on that does this, but only for Reddit, of course. Click the line and you’re on to the next top-level comment.

One of the few things I miss about Reddit (and of course, it’s not even Reddit).

I’ve been here a month after 15 years at the other place, and it’s an improvement.

Sorry you got clusterbombed, though. You asked a fair question, something I wondered too when I first got here.

Bad bot. OP is a newbie asking an honest question, and for that they get booted by a bot?

It would make sense to notify a human mod when a post is drowning in downvotes like this one, but it’s a mistake to trust the bot to hand out suspensions.

We don’t do karma here, one of Lemmy’s major improvements over Reddit.
