Sometimes? They are the only person I have ever blocked in all of my years on both reddit or lemmy. Such an odd combination of self importance, rage, entitlement and ego.
I'd almost forgotten about them until they showed up in a screenshot for being exactly how I remember.
Instead of adding an account to the device with all of the management software that goes with it, one could use a generic SMTP email client (K-9 Mail?) and still get the email, but not have to worry about the privacy and remote administration concerns.
Edit: nevermind, I skimmed the question at first, and didn't see the duo limitation. This solution probably isn't an option.
No, it is not the world I want to live in, but I am not convinced it would be worse than the current world.
There's a lot of "billionaires shouldn't exist" and "eat the rich" sentiment out there. I often suggest jokingly that it should be legal to murder someone once they reach a certain level of wealth. It might motivate them to limit their greed at some point, perhaps be less exploitative of those who are working to generate their wealth or share more of it. And even if they pass the threshold, they may give more concern to how they treat people and how they are perceived.
This feels like a relevant situation to bring up one of my favorite Terry Pratchett quotes:
The Sam Vimes "Boots" theory of socioeconomic unfairness.
The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.
Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.
But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.
You are right, doing something and teaching something are different. If you watched the video, you would also know you were wrong.
Make friends with the guy. He's got some some stories. True or not, he's got some stories.
The only reason it is expanding is to keep up with inflation.
Same with Caribbean. Royal Caribbean and Pirates of the Caribbean both sound wrong if you use the alternate pronunciation.
Hmm, onions used to bother me a lot but I haven't really thought about it in years. Apparently using a sharp knife makes a difference. At some point I got a nice knife set that I have been keeping sharp, and my onion issue disappeared but I didn't realize until you reminded me.
Same. Literally the only person I've blocked. I also made sure to leave every community they mod. Certainly a vibe I could do without.
