Just get a natural gas back-up generator, problem solved!

Not everyone knows that that's the World of Tanks logo smartass.
I canceled Prime as soon as they announced they were adding ads and I let them know that was the reason. Fuck them. We moved to streaming because it wasn't cable, now these fuck heads are trying to turn streaming into cable. Capitalism is the fucking worst.
I haven't gone back to Reddit since the rapture. The only time I use it is for Google results.
I use Lemmy A LOT less than Reddit. This is a good thing imo.
Since it's a smaller community I find that my posts and comments get a lot more traction.
I miss the smaller niche subs. Yes I know that I should contribute and make it a thing on Lemmy. No I won't because I'm mostly a lurker and would rather just close the app than do any work.
I like how the platform is full of socialist/communist but it can become a bit of an echo chamber.
Overall I am happy with the change. Fuck Spez.
I cancelled Prime as soon as I got this email. It was set to renew in February so perfect timing. I also sent them an email to provide some feedback about the change:
I cancelled my membership as soon as I received notification that you would be including ads to a PAID streaming service. I cannot believe that you think asking for more money per month to have an ad free experience is ok. The world is going to shit because of greedy corporations like you. I hope you go bankrupt and Jeff Bezos goes looking for the Titanic in a poorly made submarine.
That shock is 3x more powerful than a wall outlet.

I don't use any social media except for Lemmy. It used to be only Reddit but jumped ship after the API changes. I'm enjoying Lemmy for the most part. Commenting is better because it gets more traction compared to Reddit. Unlike others I actually enjoy having all the varying opinions from "problem" instances. It makes it feel less like an echo chamber, which Reddit was bad for.
My only issue is because it's so much smaller than Reddit, there isn't as much content or niche communities. I miss some of the subs I used to frequent on Reddit. Some of them were made into communities here but barely have any activity, like one post per week. I guess at the end of the day it's a good thing cause I spend less time on Lemmy than I used to on Reddit.
The whole premise of this joke is ridiculous. Leftovers are worth eating most of the time. Waste is fucking horrible. I can't stand people who throw food out instead of saving and eating it. I literally make food in advance sometimes to be eaten later.
They're giving us bullshit reasons and look how mad people are about it.
The Canadian federal government has been pushing hybrid for about a year now. When it all started they hosted a town hall to answer questions and stuff. One of the directors told a story about how she is happy to go back to the office because she can go to her local Subway and support the business. This erupted into weeks of memes about how we're being forced to the office just to keep Subway in business.
I can't imagine the response to them outright saying they are doing this to please big businesses and landlords.
Every time I see any discussion about a 4 day work week, it's always the same. Discussion is focused around what changes/sacrifices the workers are willing to make to accomplish this. Fuck that noise, nothing should be sacrificed. Your pay shouldn't change, your leaves shouldn't change, nothing should change. Fucking capitalist mentality bullshit.
Fuck Ticketmaster in the ass with no lube.
