Listen teens, I’m 40. I was a niteclub bouncer in a town popular with backpackers and partying, I also did a lot of traveling and partying. I was shameless, its a miracle it didnt fall off.

When you say you fucked my mom, its childish and stupid. When I say I fucked your mom while its not likely its possible… and thats worse.

Gestures broadly at Lemmy.

Leftists are already trying to fuck megacorps over, why would they try and placate them?

Take gutting the FDA for example.

Developing drugs is EXPENSIVE. If that gets a whole lot cheaper (and far more unsafe) they might actually look at developing some drugs that wouldnt have been likely to have a good ROI before but might now.

Its not impossible that massive deregulation could lead to advancements.

At this point my biggest hope for the Trump administration is for some “Happy Accidents” that wouldnt happen in a safety oriented world. We might make some really cool discoveries that we otherwise wouldnt make because so much wild shit is going to happen that statistically speaking some of them have to be positive.

Racists: Dey tuk ur jeeeerrrrrbs!

“Your Honor, I was trying to get the Kleenex pregnant.”

Volunteers are a double edged sword. At some volume of users and content it either needs to be a huge team of like minded volunteers which increases the likelihood of ye power tripping bastards or someone who is paid to do it and spend the time with rules to follow.

Damn right, I’m only on Lemmy because there isnt a better alternative, not because its great.

The sad fact is that for social media to not suck you need moderation, for moderation not to suck they need to be paid mods, which means it has to make money somehow, which either means adds, subscriptions or mining user data…

I got this via fax machine.

Yep, they used that ladder to get to the top of the wall, if they leave the ladder intact someone could follow them up.

Comments wiil be full of “bUt ChRiStIaNiTy”

Like in every OTHER thread Lemmy wont shut the fuck up about FB/IG/TT/Etc and their engagement algorithms and how they are manipulating society…

Yes, the broken clock is right.

Yeah, there needs to be a Lemmy.norm

You know every time he does something, someone in the comments makes an idiocracy reference and we all roll our eyes because “Yeah, theres the low hanging fruit guy coming to farm votes” like its an original thought.

Well… Its my turn.

“This Inauguration brought to you by Diet coke. DIET COKE, IF YOU DONT DRINK IT FUCK YOU!”

Honestly, the only thing marketplace sucks for is cars.

Ive only ever had luck selling cars on platforms that require you to pay to list. Marketplace just gets you an endless string of time wasters and people who want it for half the asking price.

Honestly I kind of get his point.

I fooled around with some basic beat making software back in the day and was having a lot of fun, so I stepped up to entry level producing software and HOLY SHIT there was a learning cliff I had to climb. It sucked all the fun out of it and I got bored really fast.

People do still want to create and make music not learn how to use a piece of software.

Because Facebook killed enthusiast forums for most of my hobbies and everyone migrated to FB. Thats where the knowledge is.

Your assesment of that era of rap is 100% spot on. That was a very braggadocious and flashy era leading up to the financial collapse in 08. Dj Khaled was music for nightclubs, it was “gangster rap” for the masses, it was radio play accessible without being edited to death… and it sold.

I dont know the man but I think it was a lot like what happens to a lot of people in entertainment, you have to fake it till you make it. Nobody wants to hear songs about how you’re going to climb to the middle. But eventually at some level of success you need to stop huffing your own farts and show some humility and I dont think he ever has.
