Relax, it’s only a joke.

Oh shut the fuck up. When I went to school I the 90s, you weren’t even allowed to attend class if you were not vaccinated. They’d send you home and you couldn’t come back until you provided proof that you were completely up-to-date on your shots. Nobody complained about it, and guess what? Nobody died, developed autism, their blood didn’t become magnetic, either.

Being fully vaccinated was not only accepted, it was required*. And then Facebook came along and gave idiots like you a platform to spread lies and misinformation, fueled by an algorithm designed to confirm your misinformed biases so that* you stay on the website longer and they get more money. All the major social platforms do it now, YouTube, Twitter, etc. You’re only shown what you want to see, never any dissenting opinions or facts.

And that’s how you get the anti-vax movent. Billionaires have capitalized on stupidity for their own selfish gains. And you fell for it, hook line, and sinker.

That’s why independent open source platforms like Lemmy are crucial. They don’t weaponize ignorance for profit.

Edit: I’m caught up on all modern vaccines too, including COVID. Still doing fine.

Broken clock effect.

At the end of the day, they’re still authoritarian bootlickers, and they should not be given any slack because they did one good deed. Fuck Hexbear. They’re as evil as MAGA as far as I’m concerned.

But to be fair, what’s stopping people from making freeware Adobe Suite alternatives that have the same familiar work flow? If we can do it with Microsoft Office, why not Adobe? Until someone does that, I’m still going to continue pirating Photoshop and Premiere.

…When you’re under the age of 35.

How could they be playing Shadowrun in 1999, when the XBOX 360 didn’t come out until 2005? Hell, the game itself didn’t come out until 2007…

The gun was empty when the shooter was tackled too. You can clearly see that it had already fired its last round when it gets knocked out of his hand. So I guess the shooter is just a bad shot.

Run it again. Those scripts take a few rounds and still my not get it all, because reddit doesn’t always show your full comment history, even to a script.

Exactly, the average person using installing browser add-ons. They want a lightweight, simple browser from a familiar brand that just works. Adblocking alone isn’t enough to convince Average Joe to switch, when they don’t even know that adblockers exist.

I need to move somewhere that is the exact opposite of this. The amount of apathy in the modern world is distressing. People were a lot friendlier and more willing to help out a stranger even just 15-20 years ago when I was a teenager. Now you can’t get anyone to care about anything anymore.

I blame stagnating wages. No one is financially comfortable enough anymore to have the energy to care about anything other than their own survival.

For me it was a sheep’s eyeball when I was in 4th grade. This was in 1998.

To this day I still don’t understand why the Spice Girls just randomly decided one day to add a sixth member, years after their retirement…

I was 9-years-old when they had their big hit and even then I thought that tidbit was fucked up.

Also, “if you want to be my lover, you gotta get with my friends”? Really? What kind of freaky polygamist girl can’t date someone unless they fuck their friends first? I mean you do you, but damn!

Those were the cold war kids. This post screams Millennial.

Yeah “rideshare” a bit of a vestigal term leftover from the early days of Uber/Lyft, when the original idea was that it was a service for someone to hitch a ride along a route the driver was already taking. Basically app-driven hitchhiking. But instead they turned into the taxi service we all know these apps for nowadays, yet the term stuck around.

TBF the wording is ambiguous.

Yeah but how can you tell that you’re getting the right charger for your phone? No two chargers are the same; they have different wattage ratings and use different charging standards.

If you grab any old charger without knowing the model number, it’ll charge your phone, sure, but not necessarily at its maximum possible charging speed unless you get lucky or take extra time to examine and research each charger until you find the right one. And I don’t know about you, but I’d feel awkward about pulling out my phone to Google random chargers while digging through a lost and found box with the employee just standing there. I rather just spend the money on a compatible charger designed for my phone’s charging standard.

Makes me wonder what a telescope the size of a solar system could see. How large of the telescope do you think it would take to be able to get a clear image of this planet?
