There's a large grocery store chain here that the owner was at the Jan 6th insurrection. A lot of people, including myself, refuse to shop there now.
What a moron. I'm so glad he can't run for president.
I would say "I guess I don't need to see it THAT badly," and walk away.
I haven't been to the theater in years and just watch everything on my home theater. I bet I've saved even more than you. LOL
That's it, I'm quitting heroin!
Oooh, what's this meth stuff?
This is a payphone...
Don't ask.
It really feels like there's going to be an uprising soon. People aren't going to take being pushed around for too long. Dwindling income, rising costs for necessities like housing, food, gas, cars, etc... People won't fight back as long as they're entertained and fed, but large amounts of people are going hungry now. Crime is through the roof. Even if you manage to keep your head above water, you're much more likely to have your home or car broken into, or be the victim of a violent crime. Manufacturing has all moved to poor countries so in developed countries the rich and powerful no longer need the middle class to serve them. They just exploit the peasants in China, India, Vietnam, Thailand, etc... It's pretty scary, to be honest.
I just hope things don't get too segmented. Like say you're into furries, there might be furries@server1, furries@server2, furries@server3, etc... So instead of one big niche community for whatever topic, you have a bunch of smaller ones. I kind of fear that there could be too many options and it just makes things confusing. For example on that old site, I'm drawing a blank on what it was called before it suddenly went down today, there was Xbox, xboxone, Xboxseriesx, etc, when just Xbox would have been fine.
Then again it could end up being a good thing when you get mods that are assholes, like in the old site's communities like politics. Getting banned from politics was a rite of passage. At the same time, a lot of the asshole mods were a result of the site's rules that pretty much existed to keep advertisers happy. So maybe Lemmy will be more like the wild west, or the early days of the internet when everything was new, wild, and fun because there weren't any rules yet. In the 90s you could do practically anything online and nobody cared, but then the corporations took over.
They learned a lot of people's social security numbers.
It definitely makes a difference in fast paced games like Doom.
