… oh. It begins then. Thank you for the multiple links!

Jaywalking isn’t inherently unsafe. You can still get run over in a crosswalk and crossing earlier in the block when traffic is light can be safer. That isn’t to say I recommend it though.

Uh, I missed this one. Someone got the backstory?

Minor nit pick from my experience. If the word is written out “could have” I enunciate the entire word. I only pronounce the contraction “could’ve” as “could of”. And vice versa when dictating.

I would think many servers that accept donations don’t rely on them. But taking donations while it is optional can stave off the time when donations would be necessary.

Oh, you weren’t given an invite to the skibidi toilet conference? Eesh, sorry man, the rest of us all got one.

Removing news from your regular feeds or taking a break from them for a week is chill, everyone should do that here and there. But don’t bury your head in the sand, you should keep an eye on it even if that is only browsing a dedicated news feed every week or two. Ignorance and complacency is how we got Trump 2024 with people actively voting against themselves.

Step 1: don’t browse the All feed. I dunno how Reddit was okay for you, visiting r/all was always full of Trump this Trump that every 5 minutes.

Find a parking lot and “drift” my FWD car babyyy

I haven’t used Temu to compare, but AliExpress’s website bombards you with about 3 coupon or app popups upon loading it as well. That and the constant combo deals they’re pushing with a browsing UI straight from my nightmares.

Stop using whatever website that is my man, lmao.

*For a limited set of languages. Until they add Japanese I won’t be getting much use from it, sadly.

Good reasoning all 'round! Although Lemmy.ca doesn’t require you to be Canadian, so would be a decent recommendation for any NA user. As long as they don’t mind some more Canada posting in the Local feed.

I understood the reference post as I’m far too deep into degenerate internet culture, but I have definitely experienced what you say. I think sometimes people write in a way that simply doesn’t welcome people not on their wavelength. And that’s okay!.. as long as they don’t expect broad understanding.

Linux propaganda 😎👉

Is this a real screenshot or an edit based off the previous “Tik Tok isn’t available” message? I can’t check as I am not in the USA.

It’s impressive to make your new app so obviously worse than the last. It’s even more so when your last app was Origin.

I’ve never had a Windows machine that can stay on longer than ~3 days before developing weird behaviour so it’s off right now until I get home.

The reason they got defederated from so many major instances is less to do with the politics and more to do with the spam, brigading, and bad faith interactions that had no intention of civility.

You would just create a new account. Take it as a chance to prevent too much personal info from piling up under one pseudonym.
