Hah, with no attempt to explain because it's very self explanatory.

Unironically me as an IT professional who uses Windows. It just works. I have to fuck around with all that shit all day, I don't want to go home and do it too.

You're the reason my Mondays are always chaos

I'm one of those. I don't know if you realize or not, but there are a stupid number of examples of rich people commiting rather horrible crimes and never seeing jail.

I'm absolutely all for Trump facing consequences. But I'll believe it when I see it. This country is made for the rich.

For the love of God please just say latinos. You don't need to police our language.

Latines is better than Latinx which is a monstrous perversion, but spanish is just fine the way it is.

Not enough

This makes me wonder, who else here isn't actually a programmer but an IT professional who appreciates the content?

Goths mocking emos always made me laugh. Which is itself a third layer of comedy because I was supposedly an old school punk but really just another kid with a funny 'do (green mohawk...which I still hold as the most righteous hairstyle known to man, however)

Doesn't matter what academics think or teach when this is what happens in the real world

I was 21 in 2008, and I'd been a fan of Ctrl Alt Del since near it's beginning. I was a huge web comic fan in general, and I got intensely emotionally invested in them, even the silly ones.

This strip hit me exactly as he intended it to. It resonated with me I guess because of my brother and sister in law going through a miscarriage shortly before. Either way, it had a powerful impact on me and I didn't see this "tonal shift" as a problem. That's kinda dumb if you ask me, lots and lots of comedies have serious moments.

Anyway, I didn't know this meme until a few years ago and it always makes me sad. It's dumb, I know.

I'm super sensitive to negativity, which is why I was always a lurker in reddit, I always got shat on whenever I shared anything, to the point that I'd just delete my account and hide from the internet for a while.

While I personally don't, the difference between this and that is that most people here, together as a community, have decided, again together, that they don't want to federate with Meta apps because of a long history of privacy and other abuses.

That's not the same thing as another billionaire pissed off because they are doing exactly what capitalism is "supposed to do"

Do better or die is the whole philosophy no?

I honestly doubted I'd be able to stay away from reddit. I've tried many times before. I've deleted 5 major accounts since 2012.

But Lemmy seems to have been the nicotine patch I've needed. Haven't been on Reddit outside google searching for info, which isn't going away for me personally.

Only thing I actually miss is baseball and my team sub.
