You mean their meme review episode? I stopped taking him seriously after that. It’s so bad it has it’s own cringe value.

I wonder if it’s sensational or it really hits. Some pieces of grocery felt off my list, but since Centrobank measures and completely unobvious pricing of goods (sales, loyal customer cards, new noname brands replacing those who ‘left’, normalizing poor men’s stores - warehouses where items are staying in storage packgages and employees are minimal to cut prices down) and a long-term habit of prices keeping cimbing at ridiculous rate, it’s not the breaking point. How it would hurt the big players tho is the question because big firms cutting their wants = unemployment, and their budget is as challenged. When I drop another portion of meat from my diet, they drop a dozen of employees off.

My perspective is too small but I’ve noticed an old off-tone joke reposted more frequently.

Dad, you having your wage cut means you’d drink less?

No, my pleasure. It means you’d get to eat less.

For what it seems, there’s still ground for maneuvers in average Ivan’s grocery list. More lifehacks and thrift options are discovered by many. The frog is boiling on slow fire.

It is more about politics to proclaim that, for everybody knew it is like the best route to deliver munition to this area. And maybe a warning to those who are still planing to have a vacation here.

The article is too centered on mines because the guy is dealing with them.

But yeah, they had time to dig in and to defend themselves with whatever they can, including USSR-worth of mines.

I’m worried civilians would die to them decades after this war because some of them were invented way before some countries thought about them becoming dud after some time. We still find them in years after World War 2 and Balkan conflicts, rendering some places inhabitable for that reason.

That’s how majority-vik party becomes the government on display.

Denying big powerful entities from controlling you is both anarchist and communist, and is based.

I’m sure if it comes to being ruled by Meta, many previously .lm users would get it.

From the side of Fediverse, there’s like no argument to accept Facebook but WE NEED TO GROW. And no, the influx of some millions of users won’t bring life or quality to Lemmy, it would replace it for what culture of communicating is in the Insta. And I don’t feel like many people there would vote to have this.

Once you accept it, your community is overtaken (and you need to serve another thousands of users as an admin). I don’t feel anyone would be open to include them.

This came to a logical problem of naming a coalition by several group names’ initials. And a very loose one at that. I felt the same about the flag updates.

It is a conclusion to what they stand for and why they are created – to get united under one banner to be seen – but at the same time it counters that in how it is disunited in these exact banners, also to be seen and recognized but individually. And a rainbow flag, iirc, wasn’t meant to mean something by each colour in it, lol.

I feel like switching to the name and a flag that don’t include that self-expansion and would just stay the same would be better – but then I catch myself realizing it is nothing other than creating another acronym\flag and asking to be argued by those who promoted these expansion for I deny their effort to gain visibility.

Shit’s a mess.

They also gifted a statuette to u/violentacrez or what’s his handle? for powermodding dozens of nsfw subs, including borderline paedophilic, violent and abusive ones, like revenge porn partners upload after a break up to hurt their ex-couple.

They did great at handling the search of a boston bomber. Fuck ups happen way more often than forum dudes finding ISIS camp by triangulating the sky in a picture. I’m kinda happy to have this viral and well-documented drama to refer.

They rarely ever did their job before the press got involved, or they step into prison sentence territory. My personal favorite waa when altright sub stickied a link to crowdfund a contract killer for a guy who punched a right-wing talking head Robert Spencer on camera. Then, you have fatpeoplehate and other subs that weren’t as dense and worked for years. Right before Spez’s very eyes. Not to say some mass-shooters were frequenting and were inspired by these spaces too.

While modding jailbait is discussed (like, you could promote to a mod role everyone – that’s how he excuse it), these things were consciously enabled by him. He platformed the worst people you can think of. And it sure shall not be forgotten.

It’s not really surprising. One of the trends consistent for how many centuries is a combination of three things: IDGAF\fatalism attitude or похуй, strong belief in randomness of most things you’d think are pretty clear cause and effect or авось, isolationism\egocentrism\self-distancing from everything not directly concerning their daily life.

Not caring much for it’s out of their power + chances are it won’t happen so no need to think of it’s consequencies + and if it’d happen why would it necessary happen to Them of all people?

It’s mentality of people who have never got free from serfdom, but adapted to it’s rules. With how corrupted were tsarist regime and then soviet union, that’s how laws are usually applied: their harshness is compensated by how rarely they are followed through (waa it coined by Dostoevsky?), and it’s not a responsibility but bad luck to be caught. This logic gets so ingrained the life itself is seen through this lense. My fellow russians and ukrainians I know call people with this mindset ‘совок’, sovokh, a short and humiliating word for soviet sympathisers, also meaning ‘shovel’ in both languages – that equals ‘tаnкiе’ but for those living in ex-ussr.

It was documented by many writers and philosophers of the past, and actually became a point of national pride, the unique way things are done there. You are kind of seeing that with everything surrounding current events. The conflict itself couldn’t happen like that if government hasn’t found the key to support and abuse this line of thought, but it’s also why it has these performance and choice of tactics.

I shit on people who talks about a slave gene in ex-soviet people as it sound like some nazi bullshit, but social traditions and material conditions do form this very mentality. Being determines consciousness. And also causes meme absurdities like vacationing three steps from the frontline.

Sorry for being that verbose. All pieces fell into places for me while I was writing this comment. It’s rare for a comment to trigger me into reflecting on information and thinking about it for this long, so kudos to you for bringing not only a laughter, but also some food for thoughts.

Spez sold Reddit for some small $mils before failing his other project and returning as a hired CEO. He is a cheapskate among media magnates. He isn’t clever and is a loser. He adores Elon because he wishes he can throw money around just like him, but on the day’s end he knows he doesn’t have comparable wealth and he is there just because he happened to be around Aaron Swartz and other cool dudes. He himself couldn’t create Reddit. And being the top admin of it now is probably the closest thing in corporate world to cuckolding, for he doesn’t have a word in managing the ‘frontpage of the internet’ he once owned, he just follows what the board says him to. Sad piece of shit he is. Won’t cry about him tho. Let misery fall onto his little empty head.

Muskie-baka can’t figire it out. I feel obliged to help him.

What exactly to thank him for?

Reddit is my place to check on news about the ongoing war. For some reason it wasn’t banned in r*ssia and is availiable without vpns. Lots of exiles from other places joined subreddits there.

I don’t feel like this blogosphere would move into fediverse. Occasionally, reddit became the right place for this.

At that stage bots and spam accounts are unlikely tho. Maybe in a year it would be worth it. Especially if\when Tumblr or Threads get into that, but I doubt it.

They do better than Soviet union, lol.

Weren’t they a tankie? I’ve heard about it a couple of times on Reddit before joining the fediverse but I don’t have proofs myself.

Nothing positive is needed. It’s an outrage engine that keeps you involved by edging on the max level of disturbance you are comfortable to consume. Seeing, posting reactions, having likes enables you to keep it going.

I bless thou. And I approve thy use of knee-cappers against these sticker-snatchers. You are to collect their kneecaps in the name of God. Be blessed, u/QuazarOmega. Be blessed.

Behold the Holy Sticker. Thou shall not remove It for thou art a mere mortal. It keeps secrets way above thy primitive perception, for it’s a domain of certified wizards, proprietary witchcraft and manuals on applied necromancy.
