I advocate for logical and consistent viewpoints on controversial topics. If you’re looking at my profile, I’ve probably made you mad by doing so.

Now I’m confused… What do YOU call a normal North American muffin?

Like a blueberry bran one or something.

Ah yes, nothing like a nice rum and water.

The songs you listen to when you are listening on random are often ads. Record companies will do “pay for placement” deals to get songs and artists they promote out there.

They used to call it payola when it was on the radio and it was illegal.

I truly don’t mean to be pedantic here, but aren’t these nearly word for word the same beliefs Left-leaning people here have about the Right in America?

Maybe if you’re being generous and want to write out the other side of these beliefs you could leave out the descriptors “lazy and weak” and replace them with “psychotic and brainwashed”, but other than that, is this meme not the same for Left and Right?

As a Windows user who manually updates weekly and reads changelogs for what actually changes, neither do I.

But then again I don’t leave 400,000 items open on my desktop for no reason whatsoever and get mad when I have to close them.

With 400 permutations of “Fuck this clown” and “how can I block mentions of him” in the comments.

Unfortunately, shitty billionaires make the news. Get rid of billionaires and they won’t be in the news.

The internet existed for a long time prior to monetization of it. People used to do things because they were good ideas, fun, or helpful.

Revenue streams made things worse.

  • Every thread against people not strictly aligning with Leftist politics will be boiled down to: “There are three types of people: reasonable people who agree with me, crazy fascists on the other side, and lily-livered wimps who can’t pick a side (and are also secretly fascists who just won’t admit it)!”
  • Anyone with passable writing skills will be downvoted because creating cogent arguments against them is hard, and heaven forbid anyone see a smart argument that doesn’t align with your views perfectly.
  • In a similar vein, people will use the downvote as a “fuck you” button without commenting or adding any value to the conversation whatsoever.

(Edit: Yes, yes. You’re all hilarious. I may not have a button to hit, but fuck you too.)

It really is the embodiment of that old joke about people never wanting to hear other people’s opinions, and only wanting to hear their own opinion parroted back to them by someone passably eloquent.

Hey I’m just writing the rules down, not telling you you shouldn’t be annoyed by them.

My liver may be flower-scented, but I tend to not paint situations in broad-stoke terms like “woke” that are used to dismiss valid arguments.

You can’t disprove a label (especially a vague one that someone else applies to you), however you can very much disprove points.

Funnily enough, “not so smart joke” is the same descriptor I have for no-discussion downvoters.

Connect 1.0.150 Released

Hi, this update is mostly focused on some performance updates to Image rendering and memory management. I stripped out the old plugin I had doing this and am now handling things a bit more manually. Hopefully this should improve the experience of long scrolling sessions. I did refactor a lot so if you see any bugs here please...

Clicking on many of the links from All presents this error after updating. Is there anything that I should be doing or is it specific to Connect? https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/d29ed45b-7470-4e07-a12c-e091fa12df7d.jpeg

The most current version that was available to me at the time was 159. I have 160 now and it seems to be functioning correctly!
