Jesus I couldn't even finish the article. It was a long winded "but the Democrats are good actually!" Sheepdog bullshit piece.

I mean, good lesson for the kid. Cat mom sprang into action.

Admitting up front to not having read the article yet.

That's terrifying. What plague are we about to unleash from the depths of the permafrost as more of it melts? Gonna read the article later today when I get a chance. If anyone feels like correcting me in the meantime, feel free. Lol.

I love your username

Imagine them having to apply makeup while running chainsaws? It'd put japanese games shows to shame!

That sounds like the perfect solution, tbh.

Also, sorry, tried to Google it, still don't understand. I know what fediverse is, but what's threadiverse?

I would love to see drag queen strong person competitions. Imagine log rolling in heels and an evening gown?

Ooh, or maybe like that next ninja whatever show. I can't remember what it's called. The one with all the crazy acrobatics and stuff. Imagine having to do that obstacle course where you hang from the bar and "jump" while holding the bar to the next slot, but you have to sing And I Am Telling You while you do it!

American TV could get real fucking good, real fucking fast.

God bless it I fucking love lemmy! 😄

Perhaps bookwyrm could add a way for authors to link their own works in their bio, and we could use mastodon to promote ourselves? New to both, so maybe that's already there on BW, idk. But I'd rather see artists and creators promoting themselves than have ads and sponsorships and all that corporate bullshit.

Also, maybe idk what macroblogging is, but isn't there a blogger/WordPress alt for the fediverse? Could have sworn I saw one a while back.

Edit to add: bookwyrm is such a fucking fantastic name. Seriously. So much better than "Goodreads." I can't believe it wasn't taken. It's perfect.

Piggy backing on this, and I know it's probably not high on the to do list, considering... But can we get some "not interested" option for communities? I've been blocking communities because I'm not interested, and they're clogging up the all feed (not really enough in my subbed feed to keep things going). But I don't necessarily want to block a community all the time. There are things I might want to seek out from time to time, but don't necessarily want showing me all their new posts, either.

Adding onto this that Walmart and similarly large companies use what is effectively a planned economy (that rivals or exceeds the size of some actual nations). There is no need for the executives to be making these last minute decisions on stock placement or layoffs or any of the shit they supposedly do. If Walmart transitioned to be employee owned (not through stocks, but actually employee owned), it could maintain the same centralized planned economy nature (since it's almost entirely run through computers). It could benefit the workers directly, lift the economies of of the communities it existed within, and be an actual force for good in the world. All whole the actual products it sold would be much cheaper because they wouldn't be supported an ultrarich parasitical class.

But instead it benefits like 100 people, and the planet gets to burn in response. Yeah, no, it's not that we don't understand. It's that we do. These companies aren't just bad for their workers, they're bad for literally everybody.

Would love to know how to do this. My feed is full of German and Korean if I choose all. I'd love to be able to avoid seeing posts in other languages I don't speak or read.
