Buy 4 new tires for your vehicle. All at once. Take a look at the vimes “boots theory of economic injustice” principal. 1000 seems extreme to you, but getting through the winter in certain parts can be sobering.

The point isnt the dollar figure, it’s the principal.

Welcome to the internet? We’ve been here the whole time

Options where i live for non alcoholic beer are scarce where i live, but tbh, It’s a little more of a “something that isnt beer at night” sort of thing than it is a drive for sobriety. Ive got no problem with a gin and tonic nightcap, however a glass or two of tea is cheaper and healthier. But thanks for the alternative. I appriciate it.

Been trying to cut back on my evening alcohol consumption. Its a simple, very flavor forward herbal tea, and its been a great drink for winding down and resetting for the night. I dont know what it is, but im a fan. Mint tea didnt do that, but a cup or two of bengal spice seems to be what i personally crave now.

I like lemmy, but i miss reddits ability for useless hot takes to be downvoted into oblivion.

So many people here really do think their hard line, no context opinions hold value.

Something something forest, trees, shitty visibility. For fucks sake.

You do know what a false dichotomy is, right?

If you wanna be supremely dissapointed on how long the worst of the worst can last after they commit horrible atrocities, look up pol pot. Assuming this man will pay consequences for his actions anytime in the near future is, unfortunately, very naïve.

Its a pretty good joke though, you gotta admit. Nothing like someone with a phd and the knowledge to mess with people not literate in the subject matter. Kudos to dr liu.

The faa regulates air traffic .including drones. You shoot down an nypd drone, you’re gunna get the feds involved.

And genocide provides a more homogeneous clientele to market towards.

Abbot’ predecessor was the driving force behind our massive wind energy investments. This is great news for clean energy and the state. I dont like abbot, and barely tolerated Perry, but every now and then, the leaders of Texas do something i can get behind.

Using an emoji lineup to pick what service is superior is the most pantshittingly stupid reasoning i have ever seen. Jesus fucking christ.

Its the whicons pack. The rest is just optimizing squarehome through trial and error. Change borders here, resize tile there, etc. Theres a ton of customization. Once its set the way you like it, you will carry it through the next phone and the next phone.

I migrated from windows phone to android and loved the windowsphone interface.

I use squarehome. It is infinitely customizable and with a little work the cleanest ui imaginable.

Well, to be fair. If you join the nazi server and stick around, i dont have much sympathy. Lets be honest, there will be hints.

It’s the internet. Make a new account on a better place. For fucks sake you can probably keep the same username with zero repercussions. It isnt really a loss.

It took me all of 15 minutes to repopulate my subscribed list when i picked a dead end community. And when my current one fails, i can literally do the same again. It isnt a loss. My goal at a certain point is to maintain some semblance of anonymity anyways. I had countless reddit accounts over the past 12 years. Why would i be worried now?

So i guess that this solves the big problem short term. The influx has been the first growing pain. But long term it does nothing. They will get caught defederating from smaller instances over and over. Anyone that jumps in from smaller instances will be able to carry on, at least how i understand it. The cream will rise to the top eventually, but such a strong declaration so early isnt a good sign. If the mods from any large instance decide that “this is too much, ban them” is the best response, the lemmy community is destined to be a fractured mess, rather than a reddit killer or a reddit refugee state.

I guess, imo, i get it. 100% understand from a moderation point of view. But im frustrated that there is this big of a fold the first week of real volume. The cesspool will exist in any instance. But going thermobaric this early leads to nukes next week. And it may be a sign of why a strong corporate arm and direction, as much as we hate it, is currently the winning scenario. Unfederated control is powerful. The hydra has been unleashed, but for each head you cut off, three more appear.
