They can learn all about how great slavery was for black people, I bet they don't even know.

Because the point of having elections is to represent the people who live in a place, not changing the demographics of a place to reflect the government a political party wants.

Excuse me sir or ma'am, you are in the childfree community about being childfree. If you would like to participate in parenting conversations or discuss how great kids are, I'm sure there are places dedicated to that, but this is not it.

My friend's husband does this; he runs a plex server for their family, parents/in-laws, and a brother I think. As the nephew got older he started sending in his requests, too. He also set up an email address just for movie requests and wrote a script to crawl the email inbox and automatically download the top search result. It ended up requiring very little input on his end.

Nobody expects you to understand a metaphor. It's for the rest of us to lol at.

Yeah, a lot of them were born in the 1950s.

Probably got lambasted for being one of the worst non-apology apologies in the history of apologizing.

The best thing reddit could come up with is... More unpaid work for mods to do!

They're expecting the mods to keep the mods from protesting things done against mods in the future.

I can't tell what that person's intent is because the post is filled with "I'm sorry you're upset" platitudes that accept no responsibility or even an understanding of why the mods are so upset in the first place; just more unpaid work they're expected to do to keep it from happening again.

Lol with the frosted eyeshadow, orange sunless tanning, whale tail thongs, pencil thin overplucked eyebrows, and frosted tips??? Nooooooooo.

Early 2000s really were just so awful.

Right? I only wear those little bralette things because attention from people who are really "supportive" of free boobs are just as bad or worse than the attention you get from the "be ashamed of your nipples" crowd. Can't fucking win.

Everything old is new again. Everything.

There's also plenty of fashion from each of those eras op wouldn't be caught dead in. Garters, girdles, torpedo bras, bee hives as tall as Jesus, shoulder pads...

A lot of it is still "pandemic chic" when we all lived in PJs for two years with an occasional smart top for on camera zoom calls. People will get sick of it soon enough (I sure have. If I never see another peasant/little house on the prairie dress again it'll be too soon). I'm really happy with the boom in bras without underwire, though, I'm never going back to underwire.

That wasn't the question. The question was about how the internet is different, not the fediverse.

It's just not sustainable. Lab-grown meat is here, it just needs to get to scale, get a bit cheaper and boom. Farming and killing animals for food will be obsolete.

Not everybody used to be on it. There was a stigma to socializing online. "Don't give out your address, full name, or credit card info online!!" Shit I don't want to have to give it to a person these days. Online dating, not my thing, but I love that it's bringing people together. It's not as strange to quit your job and move across the country to get married to your internet boyfriend as it used to be.

Most people on the internet are normal people because most people are on the internet.

Working out and exercising will help boost your seratonin and dopamine levels AND make you too tired to ruminate much at bed time.
