I don’t believe so, I think it has to do more with seeing something novel that you don’t get to see every day. Like, not many people have the means to fill a house with elephant toothpaste, so when someone does that it makes for a pretty entertaining video.

One half-baked concession to the poor doesn’t imply their party platform is about improving the lives of poor people.

I wonder if there’s a market here. I feel like a company that cleans up AI bullshit would make bank lol

Tankies on their way to hate private ownership and dictatorship of the bourgeoisie so much that they begin to love state ownership and dictatorship of the bureacracy

The lack of continuous and backlogged content. For some this is a benefit because it gives them a reason to stop scrolling, but for others who come here to look for answers, find entertainment, or anonymously voice their opinions, this can be something of a downside.

Of course this platform is as anonymous as you make it, but I’ve seen some people say they refrain from commenting more often because they don’t want to be known as a regular, instead wanting to “blend in to the crowd” as one would on more populous sites like Reddit or Twitter.

These shit-quality shitposts are like the spaz kid at lunchtime showing you his “meme collection” against your will. I get serious secondhand embarrassment from seeing them. It’s sad seeing Lemmy’s shitpost community devolve into 9gag/ifunny.

For real. They weren’t even funny the first time they came around in 2018. Shitposts used to be quality

I actually just had this problem a couple weeks back. I was using revanced spotify but I had to keep re-patching it because it kept breaking. Eventually, I became so frustrated I said fuck spotify and found ViTune which is a fork of ViMusic (which is now defunct).

It workes exactly how I would want a music app to work. No accounts, no algorithms, just search for the song you want. You might get a playback error if you’re using a VPN, but that’s literally the only complaint I have about it.

I love the idea, but wouldn’t it be one of those old web indices (like a site or book that was just a list of other sites) with a keyword search function? Like a centralized webring with user submissions?

Your thoughts are valid. But that’s the thing - they’re just thoughts. They won’t hurt you and nobody will judge you for having them.

Thoughts and emotions flow in and out of your awareness for a reason. If you want to come to a decision, you have to first understand where your thoughts and emotions are coming from. You should analyze them objectively as they come without indulging them further. Kind of like analyzing why movie characters do the things they do but for yourself.

Why do you feel like you don’t deserve a boyfriend? Why do you feel like you’re gross? What do you think is causing these feelings?

i have a vague overview. care to share?

yesss, Rodriguez is so good. his lyrics are not only meaningful, but casual and relatable. broached real topics with such grace, it’s a real shame he’s not more well known. hate street dialogue is my favorite of his

you’re completely right dude. and the downvotes of users who were disaffected by this post prove it.

i find that the reason this attitude is so prevalent on lemmy is because, well, lemmy is perceived as the niche place for cool kids whereas reddit is perceived as the forum for normies. a lot of users here get a superiority complex solely from not being reddit. add that to the fact that the majority of users here are highly technical and take pride in their expertise… you get the idea.

this attitude then belies every discussion that happens on this platform. comments that insist that you should “just” do something only exist to communicate the user’s belief that their way is better than any other way.

use that body wash, take road trips, and crank that thermostat if it makes you happy. nobody gets to govern you and you’re not obligated to listen to them.

hey my dude, you have an interesting post history. what inspires your posts? care to share your story?

it’s not a point of US defaultism, it’s that nobody in our respective social circles can give a shit about wrestling lol

“way to be yourself” is a great backhanded compliment haha

have you found any negatives that would potentially turn an average user off of linux? i’m strongly debating moving to mint, so i don’t want to accidentally overlook something that might be a dealbreaker
