So he wants to make sure AI can continue to be used for all the nefarious hateful purposes his cult members require, but at the same time wants to create tarrifs on imports that will make it difficult if not impossible to do so… Sounds about right for him

The entire Planet Zebes. Just without all the monsters lol

I was just going to comment mine is the entire album Reign in Blood lol I’m glad I’m not the only one

I’m no expert but I believe people usually take the Alford plea when they are going to be found guilty no matter what and want to at least try to get a lesser sentence

Perseverance?

This is pretty much entirely automated these days. If you’ve watched anything streaming with subtitles lately you’ll see nobody seems to even care if the subtitles are accurate or correct anymore either, I wish they would hire people to at least proof read them lol

Something run by Facebook is having issues? What a surprise…

I’m still amazed some people want Threads to show up in the Fediverse 🤢

I’m 5’11" without shoes and I can’t imagine why anyone would lie about that lol like why wouldn’t you just say your 6’ tall at that point if you’re lying anyway?

Except that people find a way to insert politics into almost every thread. You’d have to block three quarters of the site and about half the users lol

I couldn’t read the whole article because it’s behind a paywall, but the answer is Trump and the Republican party made sure everyone stayed divided and at each other’s throats because they’d rather see millions dead than try to work together with the left

50% rye crisps and 50% taco flavor Chex

Do people still say that? I thought that got played out years ago lol

It’s just a buzzwordy way of demanding that everyone notice their shitty opinion about something people probably didn’t care about that much to begin with.

People still talk about Reagan like he was some kind of god-king. He never had the kind of rabid violent followers like Trump does but that’s the closest one I know of

You’re really describing a small but very vocal portion of people with kids. I don’t think most parents are that concerned about it.

The people who you’re describing only had kids because they grew up being taught that that’s what they were supposed to do wether they actually wanted kids or not. This very specific group get upset that child free people are somehow going against the plan by not bending over backwards to accommodate everyone who did have kids.

They’re also constantly angered further when they see child free adults having a fun relaxing time while they’re stuck wrangling their own ill mannered progeny.

They certainly are very petty, angry, frustrated people but they definitely don’t represent everyone who has kids lol

I assumed OP was asking about hobbies that can’t be done the old way anymore because everything has been converted to a newer way that makes it easier but not as much fun anymore. Like in the example I posted earlier it’s now impossible to buy a fully handmade high quality guitar anymore unless I want learn how to build it myself from scratch or pay thousands of dollars for a high end custom guitar because almost all affordable guitars are built on assembly lines now

When I was a kid me and my friends who lived on my street would always trade or borrow our NES and SNES cartridges

I used to go out to bars with my friends and play darts in college and it was always fun to just play and even make up your own rules sometimes! That makes me kind of sad that something as simple as throwing pointy sticks at a board had to be computerized… I could see the benefit if you were playing in a pro tournament or something, but just trying to enjoy a game of darts with your buddies definitely doesn’t need all of that

It hasn’t for me really because most of my hobbies are still done more or less the way they always have been lol I cross stitch and build models and the whole point of those is that they’re handmade. I collect vinyl records which hasn’t really changed much except that they’re more expensive now. I play guitar which technology has mostly helped more than hinder… The only thing I can think of is that a lot of the modern assembly line cheap guitars aren’t really built all that well anymore, especially considering the price you pay for them, but even that has gotten a lot better in the last decade

I think the boomer who wrote this needs to have a nap. They don’t seem to even understand the difference between gen-X millennials and Gen z and is just spouting a bunch of “kids these days” nonsense.

I suspect a lot of people on here don’t like the idea of monetizing Lemmy since that kind of defeats the whole purpose of Lemmy. It sounds more like something people would do on Reddit or Instagram
