I eat fast food only when I use coupons to pay $6 or less for a meal. (Was getting one from McDonalds for $3.50 but they removed the coupon I used smh).

Also completely fair, I’ll shake hands with you on that.

The government allowed lies to be told on TV and on the internet under the guise of news. There were no real consequences to those who had listeners and repeated foreign government talking points for money. We have not seen any real investigation on how much interference was ran on social media.

Nearly every human being believes that they are a good person making rational decisions, so its important to examine the environment around these people to where they can believe they made the right choice when it comes to electing Trump and sadly, it seems our mostly unregulated free speech that let it happen, because the republican party is more organized and effective in communicating their platform and slandering their opponents than democrats are, and they motivated more people to vote than the democrats could as a result. Anger and hate are strong emotions and motivators, and unfortunately the republicans keep on using them and it keeps on working.

I have no idea what you’re blaming Lemmy on, if anything I’d expect the userbase here to be more active and left-leaning voters than average. People have a good reason to be frustrated, and I think pointing that frustration at the only alternative option we had for a political party failing election after election to learn how to communicate and how to deliver on what the people really want is a reasonable take.

Not voting is a choice as well. A choice that will make it so that your voice will not have an impact on whether the candidate that kills more will win, or the candidate that kills less. Choosing to abstain is an announcement that you don’t care about those whose lives are being threatened, the opposite of what you seem to think it is.

I am in the US and I do not have a hard cap, and I regularly go WELL above the soft cap listed for my ISP in that image with no throttling.

Why do you say that? Seems to be a clear direct response to your comment.

I want what you have so badly, I hate our ISPs

Which one of you forgot to open the app so we all ceased to exist to save on simulation resources?

There are still plenty of churches that haven’t dove off the deep end, so I’m not too surprised.

Do the sites work if you use an extension that lies to them about what browser you are using?

Thankfully, there are many people who don’t think like this.

Let them poison AI with bad grammar.

For the record, they still claim that they do not sell user information nor data.

We gotta make that virus, too. Just in case the fish-plant hybrids rebel.

Yeah, I’d watch it

I’ve already seen hivemind votes on some Lemmy comment threads. It’s just inevitable. Hopefully most Lemmy communities can be better about the banning thing though.

I am a poorly trained large language model with legs, nice to meet you.

This post is a good mildly infuriating post. The pizza does cost too much.

However, it also seems like the poster wasn’t ready for discussion when posting to a discussion board.

It’s a loose cannon, but dang it it’s the best washer on the force.
