It’s weird that he thinks of it as “blackmail” though, and a thing that’s happening to “him”.
Blackmail is when someone has damning evidence against you and they threaten to release it unless you do what they want.
We saw the damning evidence. It’s been released. This is the reaction.
N95 was my phone when my friend got the iPhone One. I remember uselessly arguing that my N95 also played videos and music and all that iPhone stuff as well… Except, it was so fucking slow to take videos.
I remember standing in the street and seeing a massive huge brawl outside of a pub, loads of people doing all sorts of crazy shit and I was standing there desperately trying to record a video while the shitty, sluggish N95 missed it all.
That experience really scarred me because now I’m obsessed with the absolute quick-draw features of modern phones - like the Google Pixel.
That’s the main thing I hate about Lemmyverse is that the zealots and puritans came over too.
They always think you mean someone else when you say “please stop constantly trying to shoehorn your politics into everything”
This is all utter nonsense though.
The reality is for some reason people they are considered “white” and some people are considered “black”.
It’s because of the colour of their skin if you skin didn’t notice.
Why are people like you just falling over yourselves to invent more facile nonsense?

This meme highlights the real difference between the gay rights movement of the past, and the modern “lgbqt alphabet” movement of now.
Gay people just wanted to be given the same rights as everyone else, and told is that they didn’t have much choice in the matter.
With the current movement, they want everyone to change their behaviour and the way they think about things.
You’ll often see criticisms of the modern gender movement labelled as “homophobia” but they aren’t.
They are two different movements and should separated.
I moved to Germany from the UK, and Americans here are almost always lecturing everyone on their bullshit politics, and cod psychology nonsense.
I wish they’d fucking shut the fuck up.
It will be like that, plus political posts.
Because people are addicted to spreading their political opinions like evangelists of old.
And they never think you mean them when you ask them to stop, becuse then other team is evil, and inserting their political opinions in to everything is their personality now. It’s tut only way they can get them likes.
Social media changed society and sadly, I don’t think escaping to the Fediverse can out run the political borest.
There are so many translator plugins for Firefox.
I’ve been living in a foreign country for 8 years and Firefox has been a godsend.
If human beings were the only intelligent life in the universe, then the difference between being wiped out by the sun versus the heat death of the universe is so mind boggling big, that it beggars belief.
So many - near infinite - civilisations could come and go.
Perhaps one of them would find a way to endure.
A thousand times this.
I’ve used this argument before arguing with hippies about “integrating with nature”.
Any society that isn’t on track to developing the science and engineering necessary for interstellar tavel is a dead end.
It’s a tragic waste of human intelligence to keep making the same bamboo huts indefinetly.
So some noble savage can live their lives on repeat for hundreds or millenia, and that’s somehow better than inventing an arc that can save every form of life on this unique Planet?
Bloody stupid hippy nonsense.
OK but then they’ll fuck it up worse.
Material Conditions lead them to that drug abuse
This is how I know you have exactly zero life experience, and clearly never given the topic more than a moments thought.
You call me dumb - but are you seriously saying that the only reason people become substance abusers is because of poverty?
Think about that for just thirty seconds.
What a stupid snivelling American sophomoric bullshit opinion.
The bottom problem is drug addiction, not capitalism.
The top photo isn’t about what it’s like to fucking look at , it’s about what it’s like to live in.
And I can tell you that there is plenty of crime there.
The only possible way forward for Unity is for him to go.
He has a pattern of maverick pricing ideas that are totally at odds with what the community will tolerate.
As long as he’s around, there’s no knowing what else he’ll come out with.
A percentage of the profits; it’s a classic for a reason.
Nah man, there’s some crazy fucking Fuck Cars peoples who don’t even think parents of severely mentally disabled children should have a car.
There’s always absolute extremists, and they are never fucking silent.
It bothers me when they just do it in every sub. Star Wars memes? Star Trek memes?
There’s no fucking escape.
By definition, you can only punish the ones that get caught.
