We used to go out for drinks after work once or twice a week
Then a guy got so drunk he puked at the bar, got in a fight with another guy and bit his ear off
The guy was immediately fired obviously but we don’t socialize like we used to for some reason
Donnie Darko sequel shit
Dude I don’t care whose name is on the building, it’s the same effective ownership
Advance Publications https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance_Publications
Advance Publications, Inc. is a privately held American media company owned by the families of Donald Newhouse and Samuel Irving Newhouse Jr., the sons of company founder Samuel Irving Newhouse Sr. It owns publishing-relating companies including American City Business Journals, MLive Media Group, and Condé Nast, and is a major shareholder in Charter Communications (13% ownership), Reddit (42 million shares), and Warner Bros. Discovery (8% ownership.)
Potato, potato
Reddit is owned and controlled by a corporation (Condé Nast.) They disabled 3rd party Reddit apps to force people onto the official Reddit app which also broke many third party moderation tools. This disproportionately impacted power users, frequent posters, and mods-- in other words, the people who made Reddit the important community it was.
They showed an unwillingness to listen to their community or work with the unpaid volunteer moderators, instead banning the moderators who took part in the Reddit Blackout and replacing them with mods willing to cooperate with the enshittification of the site.
They’ve been mangling the web interface to be uglier and less usable (old.reddit.com is still up, but the mobile version of old.reddit.com is gone). They’ve been experimenting with ways to show more ads and subtler ads.
Lemmy is open source and federated so it can’t get bought up by a company and cored out for shareholder value. You can use different instances, or a variety of apps. You can use (or create your own) third party tools for accessibility and moderation.
Lemmy is currently a smaller universe than Reddit was, but it has a high ratio of good posters and moderators who care personally about their own communities, so hopefully it continues to grow.
This is breathtakingly dumb
We both know the truth
Weird guy who admitted to fucking a couch
Stay hydrated, friend.
I’ll take this question in the spirit of the community you posted to. “No stupid questions” refers to the saying “there is no such thing as a stupid question,” which is an aphorism meant to destigmatize expressing ignorance. This is supposed to be a place to ask the questions you might be afraid to ask because you assume everybody else already knows.
The other posters are responding a bit comedically at the notion that this community is fundamentally opposed to asking “stupid questions” when it’s traditionally been a space for “I’ve been afraid to ask, but are you supposed to use shampoo or conditioner first?” type questions.
Can you be a little more specific? Typing questions into Google or ChatGPT can get you answers on a broad variety of topics. Quora is a well-known “question and answer” type of site. Stack Exchange is a help site network largely specialized for different kinds of computer code, programming, and a few other topics. Is there something specific or a particular kind of community you’re looking for?
Get blocked fashie bot
I was about to say the same thing. I’m not reading all that shit. This is bot generated right wing propaganda.
Echoing what others have said that it so far appears to be hallucinated/AI-coined from everything I’ve seen so far, as well as that I’ve seen a variant spelled “Arafed.”
These are all ludicrous.
Could accidentally knock people into a higher tax bracket and ruin their finances long term for short term gain.
This makes zero sense. Read up on how tax brackets actually work. Hitting higher tax brackets doesn’t mean your existing income is taxed at the higher rate. No “ruining.”
Could accidentally give someone collateral to take out a massive loan they cannot afford long term.
Wtf is this paternalistic BS. They could buy drugs or guns too!! 😱
Doing nothing and simply using it as cash reserves is better than making a foolish mistake and ruining it for themselves.
Nah. Pay people.
I missed when reddit had more porn so here I am
