This is a great point and it does speak to the Fediverse being more resilient for sure. I still do not wish for numbers like Reddit has, somehow life uh… finds a way (to make everything shit). But you’re right.

This is the thing right here. Enjoy Lemmy as it is. There’s plenty of people here. The more people there are, the more it’s going to suck. Be glad Lemmy isn’t Reddit. I sure as fuck am. Lemmy is exactly the right size. Well, maybe it could double or triple and there would be more content and that would be a net positive, but anything more than that and it’s going to start devolving into the same cesspool that Reddit has become.

My place. First, the food is fabulous. Second, the food is cheap.

Edit: This pizza cost about $3 to make and it’s a really great, authentic sourdough Neapolitan.

I can confirm. Astrid is, in fact, pretty in the sunlight.

Does the dude do anything other than think about transsexuals? I’m seriously beginning to wonder.

Well I’d like to but I’m on the waitlist. >:(

Roll the dice. They don’t get more loathsome than Alito. Pardon me, for a moment I forgot that Thomas exists. Fuck it, roll the dice anyway. Maybe we get a non-lizard-person by accident.

Luckily enough our health insurance bills are getting lower and lower

This is how you know it’s fake.

You’ve really got a gift.

Pump and dump. Annihilation threats on Monday, Deals being struck on Friday. Sometimes he threatens to destroy everything on Friday and is on the verge of making a deal on Monday. Whatever tack makes the market move better. Ideally 1000 down and 1200-1400 up is the sweet spot.

When you think about it, all pasta was fresh pasta at one time.

Do you also hold admiration for their children, who also live and die by their beliefs? Such dedication! Dumb, but impressive!

Your grudging respect is misplaced.

Is he/she friendly? I miss my tuxy so bad, they’re such people pleasers. Maybe give 'em a chance? If not straight feral ofc.

Man, she is one horny motherfucker. Handies in the theater, blowies in the office, lesbian sex in the car… damn! Where does she find the time to rail against the LGBTQ community in-between fucking all the guys and gals in her office?

I had a girlfriend like her once. Once.

I’m not the OP, but I think your comment underestimates the power of the government if it were actually brandished against these people. The government has far more resources than any billionaire and if its levers are pulled in the right order, it could do far more than insist upon itself.

The problem is an extended period of relative peace, wealth and success has not (yet) been conducive to those levers being pulled. But it’s coming. It’s inevitable, because wealth cannot help but create its own demise. We last saw it during the Great Depression, the hangover of the last Gilded Age. The robber barons of that era did precisely the same thing the modern ones are doing, and they looked similarly invincible.

It’s also code for “wipe out abortion,” because there is always a non-zero chance of medical procedures having complications and psychological ramifications.

Absolutely fabulous! Also consider posting to /c/pizza!

You run a server on a machine inside your house, it can be any computer on your local LAN/wifi, but it’s obviously best if it’s a machine that’s always on. I use a Raspberry Pi 3B+ (these can be had for about $50) that I have plugged into my wifi router and it’s running a little program called Kiwix-Server (free and open source). You download the WP file (it’s a huge single file with a .zim extension) and point the server to it and boom.

I have my Pi-Hole doing DNS for me so I just set up an easy to remember redirect, wikipedia.local. I did it more for independence. I got Home Assistant and Voice PE so I could have a local smart speaker to get big tech out of my house. I don’t do anything on the cloud, so it stands to reason that if I want to make sure I always have access to rudimentary information, having my own version of WP is nice. I also just think it’s kind of cool and it never begs me for money.
