Exactly this. I have pretty much the same exact story from that same time frame! Now my house is paid off, so I'm glad they didn't tempt me.

Yeah, that's the thing that stands out for me too. 19 freaking times. Over and over. Horrible.

Same reasons that ad tiers are gaining a foothold in streaming services like Netflix. The consumer has shown they are fine with it.

Yep, I remember when Netlfix first put it out there that they would start with the ads, and everyone on reddit was like, "Canceling my Netflix right now!!"

Netflix is doing just fine without the 5 redditors who actually did cancel it. lmao

no word yet if they ACTUALLY had a gun or not.

CNN via (HBO)Max reporting that they found an AK-47 in the bushes:

Law enforcement officials found a weapon and other items left behind by the suspect where he was positioned in the bushes near the Trump International Golf Club in South Florida on Sunday.

“In the bushes, where this guy was, is an AK-47 style rifle with a scope; two backpacks, which were hung on the fence and had ceramic tile in them; and a GoPro. … So, those are being processed right now,” Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said.

Whenever I see these articles, I feel like it’s part of OpenAI’s marketing strategy to use the fear-based media to pump up the sense of how revolutionary their tech is

Yep, I think that's what's going on too.

Liberals be like: “people have a right to live” but then put a price tags on things people absolutely need to remain alive.

Yep, every single time!

given the current electoral reality

Which is never gonna change unless we start supporting parties that actually want that change. And for right now, that's a third party.

How many times have Republicans been in charge enough to change it? How many times have Democrats been in charge enough to change it?

And neither party has. And neither party wants to change it.

And people here on Lemmy keep saying stuff like, "But but THIS isn't the election to work on that. Next time!" Which is what both parties have been saying for the last 50 years.

They've had plenty of opportunity to change things. And they haven't. And they won't.

And I'll never vote Democrat or Republican until one of them actually makes the change.

I subscribe to discussion topics, that’s why I’m on lemmy and not mastodon.

Yep! I feel the same way!

Thank you. Everyone is calling me a troll and saying things like, "Troll alert. Account is only 2 days old!"

But WTF? Are we supposed to wait after we create an account to start posting?

No. I created an account so I could START posting. lol

[-] UniversalMonk@lemmy.world -2 points 4 months ago

Why would I "Post less," and expect that to help black people?! What?!

[-] UniversalMonk@lemmy.world 20 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Probably due to Reddit fuckary. Between power-hungry, ban-happy mods and Reddit talking about possibly charging for select subs, I definitely bailed and came here.

Two days old today, baaabbby!!

Doing my part tho! I've created 5 communities and have posted over 100 times in the last two days. :)
