You are correct. Everyone else is wrong.

“Democrats did it.”

-Elon Musk.

Schwifty.

It means you take down your pants and your panties, shit on the floor and get schwifty in here.

I’ve heard the best thing people can do against Musk is to vandalise privately purchased Teslas. I’ve heard that will put mass fear in the market not to buy them.

I’ve heard that vandalising commercially owned Teslas will only result in insurance payouts and more Teslas being made.

I’ve heard that the best way to vandalise privately owned Teslas is to use spray paint, which is relatively easy to clean off (not hurting the owner too much) while being very media-affective.

That’s what I’ve heard.

Why would I tell anyone? I’m not condoning any action of vandalism at all. It’s only what I’ve heard.

Now that you’ve heard it too, you can tell others what you’ve heard without condoning it either.

Ironic that Joe Rogan hosts a monthly ‘Protect our Parks and Wildlife’ pod, then considerably helps to get Trump elected, who then makes moves to fuck up parks and wildlife.

I’ll be honest with you guys… my wife and I (Australian) had a three-week holiday to America planned for June which I just cancelled last week because I don’t want to give you a single fucking dollar.

We’re going to Japan now instead.

Well, maybe America was always the bad guy, but had (mostly) good people in control of checks and balances. Like, it was always Anakin, but had Obiwan keeping on eye on things.

But now Obiwan is dead and America is in the tower chopping up kids.

Hmm, convenient.

Sorry America, but you’ve gone Anakin Skywalker. You are now the bad guys.

I guess I didn’t see him as scripted or paid-for until that 4-guest GOP-a-thon, then it was blindingly obvious (and I’m not American, so I don’t even care about your politics).

I liked Joe because he never appeared to have any agenda, usually saw, or at least humoured both sides of an argument, and right or wrong (yes, he was plenty wrong), he was always at least genuine.

Now, he’s just a 3-hour long commercial.

I fucking loved listening to Joe for probably a decade, but I haven’t listened to a single ep since December.

That Trump, Vance, Gabbard, Musk run was a stunning indicator to me that he is now bought and sold, and his pods are scripted, which is a complete 180’ on why I liked him.

He used to be genuine and a centrist. Not anymore.

Imagine the morale there. No one’s going to give a fuck there now, and fair enough.

Food.

I can make a plate of food that has 10 different elements from all over the world in about 15 minutes, costing about $10.

100 years ago people barely had reliable access to salt and pepper.

Irrespective, Russia has destroyed its demographics. I hope it never recovers.

It’s legit.

Trump will just turn it around with a sharpie.

Well, I disagree. I didn’t touch Reddit for a year and finally went back about a month ago.

• THE ADS. Fuck me, the ads now!

• The corporate plug-ins. I had a legit, verified business comment on my post and then PM me after it.

• The videos freeze more often than makes me comfortable clicking on them.

• The pop-up trash now; “follow this”, “click here”, “did you know”, “ICYMI”. The U.I looks like Yahoo’s home page now.

Is it dying? I don’t know. Is it exhibiting every square inch of desperation, turning the corner from what was once cool, to what is now every pixel monetised and sponsored? Yup!

If you stick it out here for long enough, three things will change.

1. You’ll begin to really like it here. It’s different but it grows on you, and it’s growing with its users.
2. Your addiction to these noticeboard-type socials will dramatically reduce. There’s something about Lemmy that’s less addictive in a good way.
3. You’ll eventually go back to Reddit and see it with new eyes, realising just how quickly it’s dying.
