Yeah but nuking the filibuster, if that's what you're referring to, would actually be a horrible idea.
If Democrats are a majority, then they will pass anything unopposed, which would be great. Means progress and getting shit done.
But if we end up with Republican majority, we're going to be in a world of shit, very fast because they'd get the same benefits.
Voting matters. Vote trash out.
I know, what a novel concept. Because I live a different life and I have my own preferences! WOOOOAHH!! BLEW YOUR FUCKING MIND, DIDN'T I!?
Fucking idiot.
Do people like you expect everyone else to live like you do? That's quite a narcissistic worldview, isn't it?
Go fuck yourself and the rest of the shitbags that bother commenting who're like you because they're just that - shitbags.
More lame jokes. This isn't a fucking stand up comedy community, go to Reddit for your unoriginal shit.
I think the moment for me was when they had Mark Zuckerberg himself, testify to Congress.
They didn't "grill him" as media would've liked to have you believe. The guy danced around all of Congress because they themselves didn't know a damn thing about what he was saying. Of course he wasn't penalized and got off scot-free.
Just like every other tech company. The FTC, has no teeth. The FCC, has no teeth. Congress, has no brain.
I'm content with 100MBPS myself. It's fast enough to load sites nigh instantaneously. I don't have a lot of hiccups. It downloads things reasonably well.
I would rather be on 100MBPS than the times where, I wasn't. Like I remember dial-up, 33kbps. I remember shitty ass DSL 768kbps. I remember local "broadband" of 1 ~ 5MB.
If I got anything less than 100MBPS, then I'd be discontented. The only way I'd be even more content is probably being on your level or 250MBPS at least. Why would I need gigabit connectivity? It sounds like something I'd need, if I was like a business or having multiple people around. I'm only one person though.
I'm 50/50 on it.
I don't want Lemmy to become too big to the point where it's skirting on becoming the very shithole Reddit currently is.
I'd want Lemmy to at have a healthy amount of clout where it can be it's own thing without pressure.
It is not okay to pirate just to resell to others. It is a huge red flag.
I pirate to save money and if industries are going to play hardball on making everything available.
Just because one outside source merges with another, doesn't mean you're a founder of the source that you've absorbed to. That'd be like saying Microsoft and Apple merged, so Steve Jobs is a founder of Microsoft. It doesn't work like that. He'd still be considered a founder of Apple.
That would be an honest shame. All of this fuss of moving over and for what? Just for that rush of a breeze of not being on Reddit? I wondered how many treated it as that, took a break from Reddit before hopping back onto Reddit expecting things to magically improve during the time they were gone for.
It's still a shitty place, people.
Instances don't operate like subreddits.
Yes it does.
You can't simply comment everywhere. You need certain karma levels to post in select subreddits. That's why people spam so much in AskReddit is to build karma.
