Me to everyone around me when I'm on vacation

Please DO NOT announce to the server when you are going to masturbate. This has been a reoccurring issue, and I’m not sure why some people have such under developed social skills that they think that a server full of mostly male strangers would need to know that. No one is going to be impressed and give you a high five (especially considering where that hand has been). I don’t want to add this to the rules, since it would be embarrassing for new users to see that we have a problem with this, but it is going to be enforced as a rule from now on.

If it occurs, you will be warned, then additional occurrences will be dealt with at the discretion of modstaff. Thanks.

I sincerely hope this photo was taken to be sent to the local government labour regulators so the company can be investigated for unsafe labour practices and not to post on social media for likes. In 2024, 826 people in the US were killed at work.

Not buying. Companies will stop raising prices when people stop buying stuff. You can't stop buying essentials of course, but companies selling nonessentials like food delivery apps are also posting their most profitable years ever. There's absolutely no reason for that.

Even if it doesn't cause a macroeconomic change, your own wallet will thank you. I have more money than I've ever had in my life thanks to cutting back on most nonessentials. My life is a little boring, but I also have a lot in savings!

There's a Kurzgesagt video that talks about how it's not so much that the internet is forming echo chambers as it is encouraging arguments. People aren't just finding others that they agree with, they're attacking people they don't.

Finding people who agree with you isn't necessarily a bad thing. Attacking everyone who don't because you now know a bunch of people have your back is the dangerous part. Algorithms play this up because it drives engagement. Two tribes arguing keeps people coming back for more, so it ends up being all you see online.

Don't misunderestimate Dubya. Irregardless of his policies, he coined words and phrases like Shakespeare. How many of use of dreamed of human beings and fish coexisting peacefully? How many of us strive to put food on our families and buy most of our imports from overseas? Don't we all want to know "is our children learning?" And who can forget that famous Texas proverb "fool me once, shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can't get fooled again."

Monologue? He interviewed Elmo!

Probably for the best. I like participating in discussions, but this is the internet. You're more likely to get a bunch angry replies than a discussion.

OwO what's this? *notices your copy of Mein Kampf*

The end game is to avoid legal consequences for their actions. These people don't understand the legal system and believe it works like an arcane magic system. If they send the right letters to the right people, they can make all their problems go away.

In this case, they believe there is a letter they can send someone that causes that person to owe them 1 gold bar per month unless that person performs some kind of action. This one sounds like it was sent to the New York State courts in an attempt to get them to drop legal action against them (or give them gold).

Searching "notice of liability" gets you a bunch of conspiracy theory websites with templates and instructions.

 
 

I've recently started using the Boost for Lemmy app on my phone and it's amazing. I was using Liftoff before but I'm switching over. However, I've noticed an issue. When I browse through communities using Liftoff I see a lot more posts and comments than when I use Boost.

I figured this was an issue with Boost at first, but when I used my computer to edit these screenshots I noticed the same thing happens in my browser!

Opening up https://lemmy.world/c/boostforlemmy I see all the posts that Liftoff shows. Of course I'm not logged in since my account is on Lemmy.ca.

When I log into Lemmy.ca and view the community though: https://lemmy.ca/c/boostforlemmy@lemmy.world I only see the posts that Boost shows! Many posts are now missing!

I figured this is an issue with Lemmy.ca blocking stuff. But wait! The most recent post (titled "Bug: Hiding all read posts also hides...") has the URL https://lemmy.world/post/6954944 which, of course, does not allow me to comment on since I'm not logged in. If I search for that post through Lemmy.ca I find the equivalent post with the URL: https://lemmy.ca/post/7377534 which now allows me to comment on it through my Lemmy.ca account.

Does any one know what's going on here? Clearly Lemmy.ca can "see" all the posts in the BoostForLemmy community on Lemmy.world. Even Liftoff manages to show all of them! So why does my browser and Boost for Lemmy not show everything unless I specifically search it out?
