I lost the ability to comment on insta bc I commented in my representatives page. He is not only an elected representative, he is pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atl. This is the pulpit MLK led hia movement from. So yes, I am extra mad that he has not even made a statement. I have already done the emails, they don’t care. So I figured a public comment on his insta post would stir something up, it did. Meta told me I’d be stfu for a while.

So once I was able to comment again I stated that meta can fuck right off and I’ll be signing up for telegram. At least journalists can post freely there.

This has driven me crazy for a long time too. It really feels like this picture and takes something away from any enjoyment.

The kitchen disco requires really good headphones. You don’t get ear covering sound without a jack.

I was shocked when he got a gov’t contract after he admitted to all that fuckery in Ukraine. Wtf is happening in gov’t???

This is what I came here for

So this us when we write to our reps? Make social media post?

From what I can see as of a couple hours ago, they’ve been bombing the south and refugee camps. So far they use this messaging as a way to corral and murder.

I love you lemmy, this is why I’m here tkutkutku

If you look at history you’ll find banks have a way of getting what they want or destroying faith. It’s never straight forward. They have teams of lawyers, teams of people who make moves based solely on profit.

I am gainfully employed but keep an eye on what’s available in the US just to see what opportunities are out there. I started seeing some insane salaries and so checked the offers out. Five minutes of research shows that even with the highest salary , there is literally no place to live. Neither rent nor purchase. Because it’s a service like Indeed, I don’t see a way to contact the job poster directly and see if they are even aware this is an issue. Many of the postings are around one month old.

You mentioned nursing, here in the US, hospitals have been pared back to mostly large urban areas. This caused my brain to hurt.

Cheers and luck, I hope y’all don’t end up renting in old age!

We need more well built homes. This is the hidden crisis inside the housing crisis. I have a friend who has actually paid for two homes but only owns one. It’s been one thing after another in large and serious issues.
Shoddy and fast housing has been a problem, but now we are also here ,just after all this flip culture. Be careful and thorough, if we ever get the chance to buy that is.

I went to join Planet Fitness, they insist on an app. They watched me leave. Kroger charged more than advertised, ooooh it was a digital coupon only available through the app. I left the item with the cashier. Order out? Only on an app? I guess I didn’t want to eat that so much anyway.

Edit to add: I don’t know how we are going to deal with apps that are forced upon you, that feels really gross especially if you are younger, like at your school. Forced commodification should be illegal.

Not going to do it, it feels controlling and abusive and I’ve worked too damn hard to let that shit go on.

Aaron Schwartz approves this comment.

Wow, I’d never heard of this . Just now playing the video. This is indeed a terrifying decision to protect a very corrupt man, and a system that allowed him to do these things.

Gonna just pipe in on this comment because I love this format so much I’ve become a supporter. I don’t have the skill for any complex computer use and this format was super easy to use.

Idk , I mean… unsustainable growth , to me, that’s the same thing as greed.

Aye, Thank you! I’m not that sophisticated with this stuff but I’ll snag that link!

Aye, I left when they started up their bs in Canada. I will very grudgingly turn it on once Three Body Problem is out and then turn it right back off. Or even, if I can buy TBP from another streamer or DVD , I’ll wait and do that. This greedy crap from Netflix is personal to me. So sick of greed.

Egregious is the perfect word, I can only add that the adds are offensively stupid as well, and loud. I’ve been clicking back and forth until the content comes on but now it’s three times at least. I’ll install one of these ad blockers now but the real problem still isn’t solved. I’d love to leave the platform altogether but don’t know of an alternative. I tried PeerTube at one point but that was a dumpster fire , at least at the time I peeked in.

The other thing I hate about YT is the obvious click baiting the platform does, over the creators wishes. If I’m not clicking on any of the videos, the thumbnail images get weirder and crazier until I just leave the whole mess. Anyone else noticed this? It’s like they are convinced this will gain more engagement and maybe it does but I hate it and feel manipulated and degraded by it.
