Yep. Same. I do pretty good for myself and I'm more fortunate than most, but I had to borrow money from my dad recently for a series of expenses I couldn't absorb in real time. I got the "you don't know how to budget" sermon. It felt as fun as you'd expect

I said fuck it and gave him a list of earnings and expenses (I'm pretty frugal) and he was like, "oh..."

There is a 100% chance this warning correlates with the actual content on this site being hot garbage

Instagram is absolute garbage compared to how it used to be. It's still massive. Once people are hooked, it's hard to wean them off. People were livid at reddit, but only a fraction of those who spoke up are here

Why do people still pay attention to this blowhard? He was a smarmy asshole even when I agreed with him. Now he's leaning into right wing culture war shit to try to remain relevant.

Yeah, except the Czech Republic will probably take meaningful steps to ensure it doesn't happen again

Funny how these neither right nor left types always seem to skew a certain way

Rosenblatt was fired in 2020 after texting “ha ha” in response to a picture sent to him by other officers, one of whom appeared to be administering a chokehold near a memorial for McClain.

Can't reform this

I'm very much pro-union, but meanwhile artists and creators who made that content in the first place are getting fucked by everyone

Japan is another world. When I was traveling there, I remember seeing dots on the highways so as to space your interval with the car in front of you. Another person in my group started laughing because that would be ignored in the US but the guy driving was confused and couldn't fathom not following that rule. He was like, "why wouldn't you do that?"

I'm a former musician and record label employee who's been screaming "told you so" for years.

I hope the writers get what they're owed, but don't hold your fucking breath

Yeah, this shit is getting old really quickly.

What client I use doesn't affect your experience. I and lots of others are reddit refugees and I used sync for years. I'm ecstatic to have the interface back.

Bullshit gatekeeping and bickering over ideological purity doesn't help anyone. At the end of the day, lemmy is confusing for someone accustomed to reddit. There is a learning curve. Most of us just want to exchange info and converse. I don't give a fuck to learn about FOSS and all that other bullshit any more than any of you want to learn the specialized minutiae I have to sift through at my day job.

Shut the fuck up already. This sort of discourse lands like a bunch of shitty kids meeting at a half empty bar all criticizing how one another got there

Ah yes. Renowned bastion of morality: the US Military.

Satire is dead
