  • Coming here for discussion and meme dopamine, Lemmy still has that intact. Reddit has killed it with bots, ads, and some heavy duty corporate lean on things.

    r/castiron, dominated by Lodge Corpo as one example. Other “suggestions”, too early in the day to recall more names right now, are in a parrot circle of replies for brands, as above.

    You can’t trust it as much, which is why, in part, people are here instead. More old, old Reddit feels, you know, before it became cool and was thus inevitably ruined.





  • This. The Oregon National Guard commander response back when people were putting vids of the Floyd riots in front of Trump and telling him that was now. The reality of Portland the last year was rather lol. If anything, a master class in how to protest peacefully

    I can’t imaging the man in charge of the Oregon National Guard won accolades from MAGA. In fact, I’d be surprised if he was still there.

    My point is, this has already been stress tested, so I believe you’re spot on. Prep to make what’s left loyal to the regime, not We The People and The Constitution.

    Meanwhile, the rest of the world watches, sees what our military is like now and knows we are vulnerable. Not that Musk and company running this shitshow care about that piece, they have private security and bunkers.

    No. White people who tan tend to have rawhide for skin by age 40, and the lines of someone who is 55. There’s no lure for that life, even if skin cancer wasn’t a risk.

    My partner is a redhead. The man does not own or wear shorts, no matter how hot it is. Long sleeves in the sun. Took his shirt off in the yard on a hot summer night, after the sun went down, and moths flew into his chest.

    But he looks younger than he is, not older.
