the fact that you think this is laughable points to how left you are compared to the average user.

Here’s some data on reddit vs the US average. Admittedly from some time back but it hasn’t changed much. https://www.statista.com/statistics/517259/reddit-user-distribution-usa-political-spectrum/

Aren’t forums technically social media as well?

puts him pretty solidly to the right of most people here.

i feel like lemmy is pretty left of reddit, which in itself is pretty left-leaning… so saying “right of most people here” is a really low bar

News headlines gonna be like “millenials are bankrupting an American institution, the fast food industry”

I mean, that’s basically what restaurants do…

My friends and I were hanging out at my mates’ place (he used to work as a line cook), he made us all pasta and it tasted amazing.

Turns out the secret was to add a scary amount of butter, and then add some more.

Salt, butter and MSG is the secret behind half the restaurant industry.

nice try DEA

Next you’ll be seeing bs gaslighting articles saying “American carmakers are being driven to bankruptcy thanks to millenials’ changing preferences”

Isn’t that just a game of whack a mole though? Ban VPNs ending in Charleston, people hop to another location. Rinse and repeat

I mostly use All as well. I have the following blocked:

• all the meme communities that pop up. It’s just spammy posts

• all beehaw communities. Mostly because they were defederated with the largest lemmy communities, and I didn’t want to talk to only a small subset of users. Not sure if they’ve changed anything since

• hexbear because… Hexbear

Many mobile games are just thinly veiled attempts at monetization. Get people hooked, then start adding time-bound gates you can unlock, add PvP with loot boxes and multiple types of premium currency that’s hard to keep track of. Doesn’t matter what the game is about - you can do this to racing games, fighting games, gardening games, whatever.

That said there are still mobile games that are fun and genuinely good gameplay - I used to love Minigore too, after it was available on Android. But these are few and far between.

why do we insist on giving this guy so much free advertising? move on already lol

oh man that was one of the best phones hardware-wise. unfortunately that was also the era when samsung = bloatware

I was there in the 80s and 90s. You young people are definitely luckier. You are by far more beautiful, more gentle, you are more welcoming, you don’t discriminate against gays and nerds. Socializing without mobiles was as boring as you can expect.

But you could afford a house on a single income :'(

this is exactly how I feel! I don’t get any sense of achievement from running a certain distance or running faster than I did before, and it feels terrible (and I know I can stop that feeling if i just stop running). Almost every other sport gets me that sense of achievement but requires more time, money or effort in some form.

Running. It’s the cheapest, easiest form of exercise, but it absolutely bores me to death and i just can’t deal with it after 5 minutes.

I don’t mind most other forms of exercise, it’s just that they all require more time, effort or resources. Going to the gym requires a gym membership, basketball requires friends, etc.

it’s a lie perpetuated by Big Tetris!!

jk, good to know. I assume this should work similarly for any game that doesn’t contain violent content and yet activates the brain.

Tuna is one of the healthier fishes. It has higher mercury levels, but unless you’re eating it every day you’re fine.

what if you have a mortage and your bank account shows -$300k?

No. Expensive housing is a genie in a bottle.

Once sufficient people have purchased a house at the high price, it would be in their interest for prices to remain high. Corporate entities that buy up houses will actively lobby to make sure housing prices stay high, and the average Joe who paid that much for a house will be happy it stays that way.
