There’s also plenty of spaces on lemmy to discuss US politics. Not every space needs to accept posts like that.

I once saw someone make a video cable by dissecting the strands of a power cable and insulating them with packing table.

If I have to choose between buying into a US run surveillance state or buying into a Chinese run surveillance state, I choose to buy neither.

You could, idk, maybe not buy prepackaged surveillance camera that rely on someone else’s computer to work.

They haven’t figured out her fortnite password yet.

I expected better company.

especially since most other people would probably be less effort to track down.

I have politically active friends who are supposedly privacy minded blasting their takes on facebook and complaining when they get banned for inciting violence. Most people are terrible at this and the algos the feds use probably aren’t that great. I’m more likely to get grabbed randomly.

I’ve always isolated my username from irl stuff and I don’t make any social media posts from my irl stuff. You’d have to be very interested in me specifically and I’ve always tried to be slightly less noisy then the background noise.

now your opinions are based on that bad experience instead of reality.

The fuck does this mean? How is my experience not reality? What else are my opinions suppose to be based on, if not my experience?

Reddit was showing signs of introducing a more algo based experience, so I fucked off. They would hardly be the first website I left because of shit like that.

I used reddit long before the /r/thedonald showed up. Before /r/atheism became a default sub, which was terrible for the community of that sub. It became meme infested and caused /r/trueatheism to be made for sharing stories about religion intolerance from politicians, educators and employers. At a certain point, I started wholesale blocking any major sub and power user to reclaim some usability, but the API change signaled to me it wasn’t worth the effort anymore.

A lot of lemmy users are ex reddit users and have reason they switched. I switched because it started looking more and more like twitter.

I used reddit for over a decade, but I was never willing to buy reddit gold or support it because I didn’t trust any site where I shared my political opinions to have those opinions tied with by real name or any other billing info. Same with discord. At least with lemmy, you can support it without tying it to your account.

Have you ever heard a twitter user talk about reddit? They all hate each other.

The average tech bro.

Those writers probably wouldn’t have referenced The Iliad then. This was either a writer’s joke or the script just had [insert prop book] in the script and The Iliad was what was handy.

That sounds remarkably like a shitpost the writer put in to see if the audience or actors were paying attention.

I don’t think there’s any reason to find a replacement for Epstein. There’s almost certainly other people already running those sorts of events. Jared Leto has a sex cult island. I think they’re all consenting adults, but you know he’s trading favors to producers that want to visit so he can keep getting movie roles.

There were also single contact people that can be explained by Epstein operating a honeypot. If he couldn’t work with you, he would get blackmail on you. And then you get scenes like this in The Simpsons after Matt Groening’s name appeared on the flight list.

What everyone else is saying, but god do I hate the fortnite art style.

Just get a cod piece like respectable humans.
