Why do you think the US made people turn in their gold during the depression and then cease all redemptions?
I thought that was only gold from criminals or certain people, not the general populace.

I think we never will because money is extremely powerful…


I personally don’t feel like this is an unpopular opinion, or maybe I’m wrong, but I’m right there with you!


And Nintendo, and Toyota, and…


You were a kid once and everyone else put up with your shit
We didn’t ask to be born. Certain people are also better off as parents than others. @BrickEater@lemmy.world never said anything about seeing them specifically “in public” or not. I doubt their comment was, like, a command to all of society in the way you’re perceiving it; they’re ultimately just saying that they’ve had enough of the pains that kids and dogs can bring, which I see nothing wrong with.


Are you reversing “AI” as “IA” intentionally? Why, if so?


This has never happened before, FYI. You literally came in at a weird time lol, probably even the peak of this random event. It’s about some dev who made a web frontend for some Lemmy instances’ desktop web browsers and went on a power trip to mass-shadowban people as he saw fit (he claimed to be anti-conservative even though the overwhelming Lemmy user base already is, FWIW). Now he’s left, it seems, so I think things should calm down.


My doc said we’re not supposed to get any D from the sun; it should all come from diet. UV rays are too skin-damaging.


Ironically, he declared being strongly LGBTQ±friendly, anti-racist, etc.


Right, I’ve seen Slickdeals and I think Bing eventually take that on over the years: on-mouse-hover shows the original link, temporarily, until you actually right-click and copy, at which point the evil reveals itself lol.
Hmm… now I wonder if a browser add-on could circumvent the right-click interaction and stealth-copy the originally displayed link… lol, it’s nuts how far into the weeds of privacy our guerrilla warfare has been getting.
Oh, that’s what you meant. But there’s nothing to suggest that death didn’t happen either way.
there’s historical value in the games as physical objects
I don’t understand; does this suddenly become untrue just because they are accessible by other means? Especially with what Sony’s been trying to pull as of late…
Wouldn’t it be better the other way around?
Why is there a second “No” after the first “Yes?”


Hey, I’ll take that over “a real fascist country”…


That app seems not as transparent as it could be since it doesnt give any detail on the removed stuff; I recommend URLCheck instead, which is fully transparent about all trackers and even lets you pick which ones to remove at will.


The harder ones to bypass are Facebook and Reddit share URLs, which give zero indicator of their destination; it seems impossible as the recipient of such a URL.
At least with bit.ly, one can add a + to the end of the URL and see data on it, including the original link (to then safely access without adding to its click counter).
Disgusting. Have an upvote (even though it’s apparently a fairly popular opinion in this post, haha). If you give me such a pizza, I’d gladly pick off all the pineapple cuts and eat them separately, either before or after… but not during!
