  • I have a coworker who recently excitedly explained how Reddit works to someone who’d never heard of it. Never mind that all the features he was raving about are here on Lemmy without the bots, Nazis, karma farming, corporate enshittification; he’s seen as the tech savvy person in the building.

    Here I am with a 13+ year old Reddit account, nuked, and quit after the API debacle and have never returned. Just sipping my tea and enjoying my Community feed. There’s just some things people have to figure out on their own.









  • I will never forget, how shortly after the election, I spoke to someone gleefully checking out their groceries. “I can’t wait for prices to start coming down,” she remarked, as if the mere presence of this addlebrained buffoon could have an almost instant and positive impact on our economy. As if a man who bankrupted a casino could possibly have the skills to drive down grocery prices single-handed.

    I could only shake my head, “yeah that’s not how tariffs work, unfortunately everything is about to go up.” She made a face like she’d smelled Trump’s diaper and walked away.

    I’ve watched these imbeciles for decades, praising their Republican leaders for economies that Democrats spent 8 years rebuilding, only for those Republicans to tear it down again. Decades. This isn’t a generational thing. Conservatives are rock stupid as a collective, and by definition cannot grow and change, only reveal more of their depravity and misanthropy.

    They will never kick these sociopathic manipulators to the curb. Just like their deportee counterparts we’ve heard from recently, they’ll praise him all the way to the grave. “I lost the house, but I still think Trump is the best person to lead the country.”

    He thanks you for your support, now please die quietly so he can shit on your lawn.
