Definitely a sign the Fediverse has longevity problems

I am careful what I comment so they either very manually singled me out or I got caught on an automated banner for downvotes (I ended up downvoting a lot since there were such frequent bad takes and posts) are my guesses

Lemmyworld, with its ban of pirating communities, petty bans of random users, frequent downtime, CSAM attacks and new registration restrictions... I wonder which lemmy will overtake it with users since it has proven to be unreliable

Rabbit Hole is an imageboard with much the same goal as Exploding Heads: to fight tyranny and have fun doing so. It's an offshoot from Saidit, so you'll find like-minded people there. The barrier to entry is minimal: you can do guest posting even from Tor. It's a flat forum, which makes it more conversational: no post goes unnoticed! I hope I can provide a new home to everyone who wants to stick to the forum format.

Why EH shut down? I reeree angry. Who I send to gulag now? Trannies in gulag so lonely. Need friend to dig hole with

For those who are not going to migrate to nostr: Would you like to exchange some other way of communication? Email, matrix, session. Whatever it is.

If we evere decide to rebuild the community on lemmy or something like that.

its been fun friends! KABOOM!!!

Have you tried crying harder?

Or

Cry more.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 shit makes me laugh lol

I'm confused

I think I still prefer Trump and DeSantis is probably still my second pick.

I don't really trust Vivek cuz he seemed to duck out on a straight answer to the 2A question. Since I'm a bit of 2A fanatic that was a major red flag (pun intended). Probably didn't help that I saw something online earlier about him having taken Soros money for business school.

I went in not knowing jack shit about most of the others but especially unknown to me were Nikki Haley, Asa Hutchinson, Tim Scott, and Doug Burgum. Fuck; I probably wouldn't even have known who Christie was either if it wasn't for Alice making fun of him all over here lol. Don't think I'm a fan of Hutchinson at all.

Was kinda surprised that I mostly liked a lot of Haley and Burgum's points. Not sure I agreed about Ukraine/Israel but she did make some fair points even on that. But if Trump and DeSantis weren't there, I'd consider them.

Still wish my boy Josh Hawley had run tho

Not a huge fan of fox but everything else I saw on youtube on searching either had some streamer fags, wasn't the actual debate shit, was some other live stream that had other bullshit on the screen etc. If anybody has a better source, feel free to link to it cuz apparently i'm a retard and can't find it.

BEGINNING NERD SHIT - YOU'VE BEEN WARNED

This is the command I used to grab an offline copy in Linux (assumes you have yt-dlp and ffmpeg installed):

 yt-dlp -i -f bestvideo+bestaudio/best -S res:720 \
  -o '%(title)s.%(ext)s' --progress \
  --windows-filenames --trim-filenames 140 --restrict-filenames \
  --no-warnings --prefer-free-formats --merge-output-format mkv \
  https://www.foxnews.com/video/6335464873112

For me, it took a little over 15 minutes (cuz vpn) and I ended up with a 1.4 GB mkv file. You will probably need at least 2-3x that much free space for temp files but it cleans those up when done. If you want more/less resolution, try changing -S res:720 to -S res:1080 or -S res:480 or whatever. If they have that res, then it should work.

Why would you want an offline copy? Maybe you want to take screens or run it thru mkv-merge-gui and grab meme clips. Maybe you want to be able to jerk off to Christie. Or you just like archiving shit. How tf should I know.

All the tools I used are open-source and should have windows ports. I don't use windows/mac but the commands should work the same on either. android and ios i have no fucking idea, sorry.

Sucks. Idk. There's things I need to prioritize, and need to stop distracting myself with my fucking phone.

Most of the day is fine, but after it gets later in the evening, there isn't much on nostr, here, reddit or the other places I use and it makes me feel sad. Bc I have no one to talk to.

And then it forces me to realize that I'm avoiding my responsibilities. Idk how to fix that. My fucking cell phone isn't going any where but I'm -stuck- in it

It's my distraction, entertainment and social life. Everything outside of my phone is what I'm drowning out on purpose bc I don't want to deal with it.

Then it's night time, and I have nothing to show for myself after being on my fucking phone all day.

Just another day that I didn't take care of anything.

Idk I'm sorry. I know you guys can't be there all time, yall have lives and stuff I understand that. I need to figure out a way to chill out or something.

I just don't get how I went from having my shit together and then now being at a point where I don't leave the house.

I'm isolating myself on purpose.

EDIT: Thank you all so much for taking the time to read this. You all have me valuable advice and it really means alot. Yall are awesome and you made me feel better. Thank you

Right now there is one android app on pre release called biscuit but there are more in the works for android and iPhone.

I asked 100 trans people what supports them the best. 5% said their co-workers. 10% said their friends. 15% said their parents. 20% said their partner. The rest didn't say anything and just hung around.

Good luck. Been fun.

Lyrics:

https://genius.com/Oliver-anthony-rich-men-north-of-richmond-lyrics

[Verse 1] I've been sellin' my soul, workin' all day Overtime hours for bulls*** pay So I can sit out here and waste my life away Drag back home and drown my troubles away

[Pre-Chorus] It's a damn shame what the world's gotten to For people like me and people like you Wish I could just wake up and it not be true But it is, oh, it is

[Chorus] Livin' in the new world With an old soul These rich men north of Richmond Lord knows they all just wanna have total control Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do And they don't think you know, but I know that you do 'Cause your dollar ain't s*** and it's taxed to no end 'Cause of rich men north of Richmond

[Verse 2] I wish politicians would look out for miners And not just minors on an island somewhere Lord, we got folks in the street, ain't got nothin' to eat And the obese milkin' welfare

[Verse 3] Well, God, if you're five-foot-three and you're three-hundred pounds Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds Young men are puttin' themselves six feet in the ground 'Cause all this damn country does is keep on kickin' them down

[Pre-Chorus] Lord, it's a damn shame what the world's gotten to For people like me and people like you Wish I could just wake up and it not be true But it is, oh, it is

[Chorus] Livin' in the new world With an old soul These rich men north of Richmond Lord knows they all just wanna have total control Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do And they don't think you know, but I know that you do 'Cause your dollar ain't s*** and it's taxed to no end 'Cause of rich men north of Richmond

[Outro] I've been sellin' my soul, workin' all day Overtime hours for bulls*** pay

Something like, "if you showed up at home and Governor Chris Christie was taking a buttermilk bath and Mike Tyson comes up and says get in what are you going to do?"

And that shit was just so fucking ridiculous lol I couldn't handle it lol I already find gov chris christie name to be hilarious and that shit just put me on a kick lol
