Seriously. I feel like a stone cold asshole, but holy shit what the fuck were they thinking? I am struggling to scrounge up any sympathy for such an outrageously stupid decision. People truly think they’re special, and act like they have plot armor. Very sad, but not surprising.

I’m doing wonderfully! Looking forward to cooking tonight, trying out a recipe from Nik Sharmas most recent book. How are you doin?

And thank you for signaling how joyless you are. I bet people love being around you. Blockity block block blockerson.

This is the key thing that people “can’t grasp”. Palestinians are Semitic as well, so it’s literally just pure bullshit.

It’s nice to know that the odds of encountering bots, trolls, and bigots are incredibly low. Yes, there is less content, but it’s the only place I don’t have to scroll passed vitriol and misinformation regularly. It’s wonderful.

I have an account with beehaw. It’s my favorite place on the internet. I think most of us are happy with the way it has panned out. Some discussion here and there of potentially leaving activitypub altogether. If it happens, I will follow. If it doesn’t I will stay. Beehaw is too special for those of us it speaks to and works for. I don’t see it dying anytime soon, that’s for sure.

From where I sit physical media is experiencing a huge surge in popularity. So I think bluray is here to stay, and will see more usage in the coming years.

Your reading comprehension needs some work. I explicitly said that this is clearly a case of diminishing quality, which could be attributed to the example you listed or any one of many other terrible corporate practices. Then I said in a social sense, I don’t see a downside to the general idea of Americans eating less fried chicken. I was elaborating past the original point of the post.

So this is about kfc, so it’s clearly an example of a corporation being cheap af and diminishing quality. But like, on the lighter more social side of things, I dunno. This kind of speaks to the fact that as Americans we have a totally distorted view of how big animals are. Also, we have no concept of what reasonable portion sizes are. I think smaller pieces of fried chicken is probably a good thing for most of us healthwise lol. Ideally, it would reflect more responsible chicken farming. I mean, this is kfc, so I know that’s not the case here. But in general, I don’t see any real downsides to smaller pieces of fried chicken. We eat too much as it is lol.

In respite from the prep cooking I’ve been doing and the big meal tomorrow we are ordering pizza tonight.

Senior citizens being the outright meanest demographic. Not by frequency, but by intensity. The amount of stubbornness, entitlement, and just absolute resentment for everything around them shocks me. The way they react to things not going exactly how they think they should go is astounding. Don’t get me wrong, the majority of them are pleasant and wonderful. But when an old person is mean, it’s on its own level. I’d say middle aged people are more likely to be difficult, but they never even come close to the tantrums that seniors will throw. Part of this could be chalked up to mental decline, but the main part is entitlement. Plenty of people experience mental decline, and dont become vitriolic assholes. They truly think they’re special and should get whatever they want at all times. Its exhausting explaining to an adult why I can’t do something for them that our organization is literally unable to do.

How fantastic is this? I personally love cooking so it’s something I actually do to curb depression, but I know many people who could use this book. Even if just as a symbol of solidarity. Thanks for sharing!

As a gay man, maybe early empire Rome? Or even like early nomadic tribe times? Like, before there were institutions large enough to oppress people en masse. I’m sure there was plenty of gay sex happening as a nomadic hunter or trader.

I worked at a library in college. It was amazing. Truly one of my favorite jobs I’ve had. Libraries are legitimately one of the best things about modern society. Go support your local library folks!!

I relate to this more than op. I pretty much only use lemmy and discuit, and then twitch and discord for gaming. And I spend way less time on them than i did on reddit. Youtube has never been my thing. I hate being talked at by some try hard asshole trying to get me to subscribe to their mediocre channel. And the community there feels like it’s mostly people under the age of 16. No thanks. In general, the enshitiffication is real, and it’s pushing me away.

Since the reddit api exodus. It’s a small community, but feels very tight knit. It’s also the least toxic place out of those I listed, excepting rss.

Discord, discuit, twitch, feeder (foss rss feed)

This is one of the shittiest shitposts I’ve ever seen. Well done!

Rutabaga! Buttery and delicious. I can’t understand why people don’t like it.

I’ve had unlimited sms since before I had a smart phone.
