Torn on this one.

On the one hand, there's a lot of great metal, it's obviously not all garbage.

On the other hand, I love winding up those people who get all bent out of shape about how one or more of those genes "isn't real metal" so I kinda still appreciate the post lol.

Are you under the impression the democrats don't do that? Every time I've seen a democrat scandal in recent history at least, they call for the guilty to step down and, where possible, remove them.

The only people who know why the target was chosen are probably not hanging out on Lemmy.

But really there's no reason whatsoever to put restrictions on the smaller weaker country who is being invaded. War is hell. Russian civilians can rise up against Putin if they don't feel safe in their own country. 100% of this is on Putin.

Former banker here. You're just fucking wrong about that. You've said zero true things.

What was she trying to say? Surely she didn't mean to come off so complementary.

I voted for "not Trump" in 2020 but unless something new comes to light, I'm voting for Biden, not just against Trump. Do I objectively like him? No, not really, but he's done the best work of any president to hold office during my lifetime.

To be fair, if I heared someone say "colored people" I would not be at all surprised to later hear them say "retard" in the same setting.

All those disclaimers are out there for liability purposes. It is highly unlikely that you will brick your phone as long as you follow the instructions and avoid making any modifications to the way the hardware runs (do not overclock, do not underclock etc).

This doesn't surprise me at all. I'm an aerospace engineer and I know MAGA aerospace engineers and if Trump were to say something along the lines of "we're gonna cut the cost of designing an aircraft by loosening the safety requirements", they would be able to articulate exactly why we shouldn't do that. Their inability to translate that into things like deadly virus precautions is another matter but when they know he's wrong, they know.

It's just that so so so few of them could even pass a GED...

If you're gonna use both for now, I would recommend downloading an ad blocker. AdGuard and ublock origin (the word origin is important, there is a knockoff called ublock) are both good. It was greed that motivated Reddit to pull this shit, might as well deny them ad revenue.

I would say it's more like when a bunch of friends collectively break up with toxic partners and have a big meeting to talk about it. It'll die down after a while. People on Reddit don't really talk about Digg anymore.

You joke, but Reddit did something to piss me off a few months before the current fuckery, and I decided to find an alt and there weren't really any, like I found Mastodon but that's more of a Twitter replacement, never encountered this site while searching. What I ended up doing was downloading a bunch of books and putting them on my phone, then putting the books app where my Apollo app used to be on my homescreen. Now, more often than not, when I go to scroll, I end up just opening a book. I've got a little over 40 on there, they keep my progress, even across devices, and they work when there's no signal so I no longer have to fear public toilets with shitty cell signal lol.
