I mean, Trump can relate. Don’t forget he had a Chinese spy at Mar-a-Lago a few years back when he was hiding top secret and classified documents in the shitter.

If there are leaks, I’m sure you can find a source for them and share with the class.

You’ll need to provide sources for any of those claims. Ofc we should be skeptical of anything a corporation says, but Discord explicitly said they don’t use messages for age verification: https://discord.com/safety/how-discord-is-building-safer-experiences-for-teens. I’d be hard-pressed to believe that if that weren’t true there would be leaks.

But not voting, or voting for fascists, absolutely will never fix anything.

I think there are more accelerationists on this platform than you might realize.

I didn’t say Carnegie wasn’t a massive asshole. You’re purposefully misreading my statements here.

It takes all of maybe an hour to go vote. The current administration is literally secret policing people off the streets and letting them rot and die in horrendous conditions. That’s likely very likely to stop now, but we’ll see.

The reality is that you’re just too intellectually lazy to investigate the differences between the parties. It’s not great that the choices are center-right and far-right, but center-right is objectively better than far-right if you’re a left-winger and not an accelerationist. Your lack of voting has a measurable, negative impact on the lives of other people, and you know it.

I mean, sure, but those monied interests are in favor of secret police and mass surveillance. The other monied interests seem at least moderately sane. Like, I’m not gonna dome Mark Cuban or anything, but he’s a significantly less shitty person than Musk or Zuck. Andrew Carnegie built a shit-ton of libraries. I’d rather have us all involved in making those decisions, but I’ll take a barely-benevolent billionaire over the a sadistic dystopian nightmare one any day.

The internet used to be fun. Now everything is a chore and nobody does anything unless they feel like they can make a profit off of it.

I mean, that’s capitalism. It was inevitable. A similar fate will befall Lemmy at some point, so enjoy it while you can.

And 2048 was a direct ripoff of Threes! That’s not a new problem, but the quantity is likely to become absurd.

It can happen with modern cards, but it’s much less likely. The problem with driving a car with reliability issues is that it can be dangerous for other drivers. And if you need a vehicle on a limited budget, for the price of a junker 70s vette you can buy a 20-year old civic that will likely be much more reliable.

I mean, a bike is somewhat different problem than a car though. If your bike breaks down while you’re riding it, you’re typically not putting other people in danger and/or inconveniencing them. If your car breaks down while you’re driving it, you might very well put other people at risk and/or inconvenience them.

Yeah, but I bet you don’t sail to work.
