There's an asteroid that MIGHT hit earth in 2032, so we can look forward to that ( it's only at a 2.2% right now).

That's the thing, you'll have to de Google your entire life, which is really involved and tedious , especially if you want free alternatives. Not saying it's impossible, but you're talking about ditching a lot of services. Realistically, there aren't good alternatives to YouTube and some other services. I know people will try to pitch fediverse alternatives. While promising, the problem is that the historical content that is really useful just isn't there. Additionally, it fails in comparison in terms the amount of content offered. It sucks to see Google bend the knee so easily.

That's because the only thing American society are the treats. We don't have healthcare, we don't have a third space ( a place besides home and work where we can just enjoy life without spending money), we don't have a house we could ever afford, but damnit, we can buy $5 jalapeño poppers at Chili's and buy streaming services! American society has placed importance around net worth and what material things you have.

Prices will never ever go down because it's honestly the only thing we have.

I'm excited. I'm one of those users, but I haven't used it much because I can't find followers. To be fair, I never used Instagram. I like the fediverse, I usually see the same articles get sent through other centralized communities other than reddit (tildes, hacker news, etc), but I enjoy the community discussion the best around here.

If you read hard right tweets, you'll see they use DEI in place of slurs for any minority. Just like critical race theory, they've twisted the meaning to whip up a frenzy and have something for the masses to hate.

Strange, I don't get anything risque, just tech videos and some improv comedy. I still don't like shorts though. I'm highly tempted to use revanced to take out the shorts section.

I have NES - version of this keyboard and I love it. Very tactile response that makes it pleasing to type on. I will say though that I don't like the look of this keyboard. The keys look too translucent to actually server a purpose if there is backlighting. I wish they had done a little more to actually differentiate this from the obvious NES/Famicom versions. Like, it made sense to have Big A and B buttons because those were the only buttons on the controller. The xbox had so many button though that just having A and B buttons seems meaningless. I will say if you can wait, I'm sure this keyboard will go down in price. I got my NES version for like $60 or something like that.

Tribalism, to own the libs.

I'd like to know as well. I'd love to join a good community or older techies.

This happened in North Carolina and another place, but now republicans are starting to run as democrats and then either switching or just enforcing republican policies with a “D” next to their name. Spineless weasels.

They could just have checkpoints on the exit roads on the state. There are a lot of things Texas republicans are doing with police, namely allowing them to be border patrol agents with authority to deport people. This, along with precedent being pushed that police can find probable cause after the fact that you’re arrested, police can just arrest first because they saw a women “who looked pregnant.” I foresee women becoming second class citizens really soon in red states, and its really troubling.

And somehow it’ll be the “woke mind virus’s” fault. There will be no self reflection at all.
