My father is one of them. Because of his idiotic glorification and idol worship of trump, my family has told him to fuck off. Haven’t talked to him for almost 3 years now. He even believed the big lie

Ponzi schemes, especially the insurance companies. They really are a Ponzi scheme.

Think about it, they promise you things asking for money, then when you need their services they decide where you go, how much they will pay (leaving the rest for you to pay as a deductible), then they turn around and increase your costs for their services, that they fight tooth and nail not to pay anything.

2 things.

First our judicial system is fucked. His ass should be behind bars for what he has been charged with. Especially since he can’t keep his big mouth shut on social media.

Second I will be so glad when his ass is no longer in the news. The wannabe dictator shouldn’t even be allowed to run for the office again based on his involvement with all of this.

Not to mention the cold-hearted attacks on these mothers for trying to protect their own lives since they know they can’t enjoy having the pleasure of being a parent to these children.

This country, especially the southern states, don’t care about anything but themselves and controlling others.

I’m so glad the wife and I are actively trying to get out of Texas. It’s not a place I want to raise a family as there are no real family values offered here except hate and control.

I live in Texas, and can’t wait to gth out. This state has become so authoritarian it’s not even funny. Everyone is too busy being in everyone else’s business, especially if they think they can make a quick buck.

When I first moved here, it was a wonderful state to live in, but since djt was voted in it went completely backwards. The obvious racism, bigotry and hatred has really come to the forefront of life around here.

Not to mention the mentality that if they think it’s in the book of fairy tales, called the bible, then that is the supreme law. They are so busy pushing their beliefs on you, and telling you that you should believe in their ways, has gotten out of hand. IMHO texas needs to secede from the US so they can burn in their own personal hell. Let people decide for themselves what they believe and what they can do with their own bodies.

Fuck Texas! I didn’t move here to be told how to live my life.

And yet a bunch of people, mainly good ol boys, from the south say racism isn’t real. How messed up has the US become. It doesn’t matter what your skin color is, what matters is your integrity. This is why I am actively trying to get the hell out of Texas, I can’t stand racism no matter who it’s by.

The only thing u/spez cares about it $$$. It’s not about the communities as a whole anymore. I understand server space isn’t exactly cheap, never has been, but Reddit, unlike Lemmy, is all about profit. There is no way that the ridiculous amount he wants for the api use age is sustainable for anybody that is trying to make Reddit useable for the masses. They just realized they weren’t getting any ad revenue from the apps that he couldn’t convince to show them. When I left reddit every other post was an ad

physically shoved the Congressman at a holiday event (edited from the video).

How convenient that the “shove” was edited from the video. Wonder who did that???

They are making America great again, as long as they all get arrested.

I remember seeing an article stating that the oil companies here in the US won’t lower prices because they fear losing investors. That is their reasoning for the high prices.

What is sad is the cost per barrel is the same as it was back in the 80’s and 90’s where we were paying $1.89 per gallon.

Talk about fleecing the consumer. The only people surviving at these prices are the producers and investors.

Desantis is like trump. Full of bs and lies constantly

Or web site owners that use it will go out of business because people don’t want to change their browsers. The companies will realize their decision was bad when all of a sudden their customers stop coming to their sites.

Google needs shut down! Or at least go back to being a search engine.

True, but I’m a firm believer in the motto of you made your bed now lie in it.

This is just another attempt by Micro$uck to make everyone use their email services. Micro$uck doesn’t want any competition, they want to rule the computer world

Because they listen to people rather than ignore them and then make policy based on how much money they can make from the deal.

This shows me the EU is actually more democratic then the US is.

I’m notorious for this stuff. I also have a tendency of knowing what time of day it is without looking at the clock for hours, usually within 5 minutes. Freaks my wife out.

The pilots will be Ukrainian from what I understand. But the planes are owned by the respective countries. The only reason for the sensationalist headline, beside clickbait, is because the F-16 is an American made fighter jet.

Does this person really need a drivers license? My answer is a hard no!

The real decorum would be ousting her from the house completely

I have a suggestion about lemmy. Could there be a way where Lemmy can check for community names across instances to help reduce multiple communities of the same name? For example, say someone wants to create a Linux community on their instance and during the creation Lemmy searches an index of community names and finds one already named that name, it would then recommend the existing community which already exists be used or a new community name be made.

My theory is to help reduce the multiple communities of the same name posting the same article numerous times on the all feed.
