Slightly off topic, but yesterday at the top of my Lemmy feed there was a screenshot of a slack channel where (supposedly nyt journalists) were discussing either posting his writings or images of his face.

I went back to look for it and can’t find it. Anybody know where I can find it?

Does anybody have any suggestions for alternatives for chats?

I use it a lot for classes (students use them) and video games.

I am squeamish as all hell. Didn’t think I could do it. There’s a consult. They give you a Xanax, I’d recomme r telling them you’re a heavyweight and get a driver, also recommend to pay the extra 100 bucks for the laughing gas.

It’s over fast. There’s minimal pain. I ordered a jock strap and used it to hold ice packs over my underwear. It’s uncomfortable but I just layed up all weekend. Overall what I got out of it is completely worth it.

I’ll answer any questions you have

It’s your duty to vote to stop fascism (again). I’m so tired of that message. They can earn my vote, I’ve tried stopping fascism twice now, what have they done besides maintain the status quo

Don’t want them to ban vpns

If we do have a 28 election, surely they’ll have a primary and not just run whoever the leadership picks and proceed to campaign on our civic duty to prevent fascism (every 4 years)

On a bright note I’m optimistic that ai bloated garbage and advertising will eventually push a critical mass of people to using decentralized and open source tools, or possibly that non-profits and co-ops will start to spring up to manage more ethical services that could potentially replace the mainstream ones.

When you’re not trying to make some dude disgustingly richer, you don’t need a ton of advertising (imo).

I also think tech workers should unionize. On a darker note, I think outsourcing/offshoring post-covid is going to kill any unions viability. You need bargaining power (withhold your labor) and I’m not sure that will exist for this trade because of how easy it will be to find workers.

Articles are so much better than videos a lot of the time. I’ll watch a video for kinetic things, like how to flush my radiator etc.

Its annoying when information is in a video that could easily be written out and skimmed.

One data point and I’m American, but figured I’d give my two cents on why I did it.

In addition to all the reasons you listed I think that my own mental health is an obstacle, and also the increasingly limited access to women’s healthcare.

Making the decision to not have kids was a complex issue for me as I imagine it is for others too. Tbh the political and economic climate was probably the final push I needed, but there’s probably at least 10 reasons in total.

I grew up in MS and was detained in county juvenile facilities multiple times. It’s awful.

The place mentioned in that article was one of the places they’d threaten you with, and the rumors about what happened to kids there were terrifying. Thank God I never went to one, the county ones were bad enough. That’s where I found out I didn’t actually have any rights.

Can’t believe he pardoned a judge profiteering off of that shitshow.

Mississippi is corrupt af
