I’m back on my bullshit.
They found out how it could be stopped so they could bypass those measures. Come on, people! It’s like you’ve never personally dealt with selfish manipulative assholes.
Secret thief: How could we work together to catch the thief?
Police: We’ll install a camera at the front door.
Thief: Great idea!

I like Lemmy especially because it has not gone mainstream. I was already disliking Reddit around 2016/7 and tried to find alternatives, but nothing was good enough for me. Around 2018/9, the porn subs got pretty popular, then WallStreetBets. That brought on a massive amount of users, and the Reddit I joined in 2011 was definitely gone.
It used to be interesting, unique, and respectful.It became repetitive, predictably standard, and rude. Many subs function as low-key advertising or propaganda without users awareness. It was a hive mind. I was wanting to leave, and luckily the API fiasco happened so that I was able to find a new place.
I like it small like it is now. Users feel more familiar. Also, I love the idea of instances. If one instance has a shitty community on a topic you like, then find a community on a different instance. There’s none of that BS where mods control an entire topic. Maybe there are a lot of topics that aren’t popular here, so that sucks. Still, it’s no worse than reddit with 1+ million people all saying the same crap I don’t vibe with on a topic.
Thanks!
Unless that is the stencil, which makes it worse.
omg, that would be so funny 😁
What -fetch program is that?
by crapbook, are you referring to a Chromebook?
How did that sign make all they way up there? The number of people that had to have looked at that sign before it was posted had to be more than 5 at the least.
I’m not trying to victim blame at all, so I’m certain there’s something I’m not understanding. Seriously, a person can easily float in sea water for 30 mins no problem. My grandma would do it everytime we went to the beach. Fill your lungs up, lay back, slowly paddle your feet, and chill. It would be different with major waves, but the panhandle usually has pretty calm waters.
That’s what they say. The people that use them know very well that they are going to shoot them however they please. However, if they were to say so, that might make them illegal or result in liability issues if someone is severely injured. Thus, they have to pretend that they would only shoot them at the legs. This is how I imagine the conversation went:
Politician A: We can fire rubber bullets at them to stop. It will give us an excuse to make the protestors shit themselves in fear of death, but they wont be killed since we’re using rubber bullets. That will get them to stop fighting us.
Politician B: Yeah, but how are we gonna get the public to allow us to shoot bullets at them? They’re not going to let us do that. All they would have to argue is that the rubber bullets could severely injure or kill someone that is shot in the face.
A: We’ll just say that the rubber bullets will only be shot at the legs.
B: That might not be intimidating enough.
A: Don’t worry. We’re just saying that. The cops will do as they normally do.
B: Wont they know that it’s a lie when they get shot in the face?
A: Nah. We’ll say it was an accident or bounced off of the floor.
B: 🤜
A: 🤛
As far as I understand, rip currents rapidly pull someone out to sea only. If someone finds themselves in one, the solutions are to either (a) swim parallel to the coast to get out of the rip current, then swim back to shore, or (b) stay calm, float, and wave for help. Regardless, nothing is forcing someone underwater. Are people that die in rip currents not good swimmers/floaters or panicking?
Growing up in Florida, I’ve known how to swim practically my whole life, which is pretty common here among natives. Are all these people drowning in rip currents this year visitors or transplants from other states like the the four unfortunate men in this article?
I knew a guy in my social circle that was a sheriff deputy during the George Floyd protests. He was known for being an all-around douchebag and was mostly tolerated. No one ever wondered where he was at or of he was coming. He kinda just heard of plans and showed up. His conversations would be things like complaining about women or people of color and sharing that he takes 30-mins shits.
There was someone else in the circle that needed a place nearby since he was going to school, so the cop offered him a room in his house for an affordable rate with no lease. Once the guy moved in and gave up his previous residence, the guy jacked up rent, imposed ridiculous rules like an overbearing curfew, monitored him with cameras and sensors throughout the house, and belittled him every chance he got in front of others. I am not exaggerating at all. That’s who this guy was.
Come the protests, we saw this dude out there. He was purposely instigating unrest so that he could use force. That’s what he wanted. He was open about it. He even came out in the news doing it on video and it became a thing in the city.
All he wanted to do was demonstrate power over others to overcome his deep-seated inferiority complex. He was a complete sack of shit.
They’re meant to be fired any where. They say at the legs so people will be okay with it. It’s like when people go to Vegas with their friends for girls/boys trip. There aint nothing there but gambling and debauchery. Most people go there to cheat.
I had a girlfriend that was a sheriff deputy. those people seriously have each other’s backs with things. it’s definitely a government-sanctioned gang.
I’m from Florida, and this doesn’t surprise me at all What does surprise me is that anyone cared enough to bust her.

That’s wild. They surely discussed this entire thing before the governor carried out their alleged swipe attempt, yet she still went through with it. Now, the AG is following through with their threat. Wtf is going on over there?
Exactly this. Whatever those whistleblowers knew must have been so damning, that committing two murders was better publicity.
Almost there! Just one more step left on the Gay Agenda:
✔️ look cute
✔️ be gay
✔️ hang out with friends
✔️ make memes
✔️ trick wise protectors of heterosexuality into accepting gay animals
◻️ be treated with decency by society

what does that mean?
It would be cool if you could make your own tabs, so that everytime you subscribe to a community, you can go down a checklist of tabs you created, picking ones you think that belongs to.
Fo now, I guess the work around is to have several usernames divided by categories, but that seems cumbersome and disjonted.
