Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell was “Oh no, not again.”

Personally I’m a huge fan of bouncing a ball off a couple of sticks, but you like what you like, eh?

And even when they ARE “punished”, their profits far exceed the fine, which IS their only punishment.

If the punishment for a crime is just a fine, it’s only a crime for the poor.

I believe the expected response should have been “I apologize , but I won’t engage in conversations with hurtful language. Can I assist you with something else?”

Dumbass Avian Intelligence can’t even follow it’s own rules…

I saw a post asking the same thing the day I joined lemmy dot world with my first account.

That was a couple years ago now. I think I’m on my third instance?

Having friends would be nice…

To me it’s felt more like “look at me I’m so unique”

“are corporations whose sole purpose is to extract as much money from the masses as possible with no thoughts to anything else up to and including destroying the house it occupies in order to maximize profits to blame for the world around us? Or is it those dirty fucking people with all their bad gross nasty purchasing of the things the corporation shoves down their throats?”

I’m sorry but did a CEO write this?

I’d love to be able to repurpose my old kindles. I have 3 of them that have been gifted over the years and another two that I could probably just ask for since family members have newer ones.

Ideally I just want to have a simple ebook reader and nothing else for at least two of them.

The only issue is from the (admittedly small) searching I’ve done, they aren’t easy to root or install custom roms due to the software version or how new they are. I’ll admit I don’t exactly know what I’m even looking for.

I’d rather reuse things I already have than buy a new tablet just to read books on, especially since it seems like they’re just overpriced generic crap that all looks and mostly feels the same.

Having a grimy, fingered little brother is always fun.

Look, he may be grimy, but kink shaming isn’t cool. He can be fingered whenever he feels like it.

16 years ago a girl my age slapped my ass and said “sorry, I couldn’t resist, it’s so nice”

I still think about that sometimes.

I guess Google just says “fuck 'em”?

Yes, 100%, absokutely correct.

Google is a company.

Companies do not care about you. You are not a person, you are a number.

“yeah this time it wasn’t a gun, but the kid is black for Christ’s sake, what did you expect us to do? So obviously its functioning as intended.”

SNAKE?!

I would love to have a small Wikipedia browser that can survive the apocalypse.

E-ink display, mini keyboard and touchpad, multiple ways/ports to transfer info, All wrapped up in a heavy duty equipment case that’s able to survive a building collapses and burns in an earthquake, that’s shielded from EMP.

Former Christian here: it is a cult. Full stop. You are throwing your decisions around based on a belief that there’s some magical perfect happy place we all get to go.

Starting from that alone means we have VASTLY different goals. So many Cultists believe no matter what they do they’re still going to paradise so fuck whatever happens here.

The staunch angry denial without a hint of reflection on how religion has undeniably damaged the world is very telling about what OP is willing to accept. I recognized religion has failed the world even when I was still religious.

No, I don’t know there’s nothing after we die, but I DO know there are things HERE AND NOW that need more ACTUAL FUCKING WORK and your prayers are worth the toilet paper I’ll print them on.

And I am so fucking tired of “well they aren’t TRUE Christians because we don’t get taught that” any of the many, many, many, many, TOO FUCKING MANY TIMES when Christians, ÉN MASSE , do shitty things. No TRUE scottsman… My brother in education, you cannot keep saying your religion is peaceful when it rather spectacularly and historically is extremely violent.

But you know… It’s TOTALLY politics to not want your money going to people who want you dead, so RULE 3 GUYS RULE THREEEEEEEEEEEEE

m not American. The presence of fascists in US politics has been a commonly accepted truth in anybody anywhere left of demochristians for half a century.

I am an American and idk where this idea comes from because I’ve been noticing a decline at least since high school political science forced me to pay attention for the first time. It’s been hard not to notice the slope getting steeper every day.
