Reddit is a Dying Mall

Lemmy, can we do better? I came here to hang out with a scrappy new community of people excited about cool shit. Instead it's a bunch of people bitching about Reddit and X. C'mon let's make this place fun and exciting.

Is there an artist so horrible that no matter how hard you try that you cannot separate their art from them?

Eh, I used to think like that, there was a time when it was popular to hate on U2. But really there are a lot of legitimate assholes out there who are actively making the world a worse place. His philanthropy is aggressive and attention seeking but the receipts are there and I'd much rather have someone channel all this energy and platform into pro-human rights than anti which is becoming increasingly popular these days.

I've always preferred the 2 second rule. You don't need to do distance math in your head, just find a tree and count the time it takes to get from their car to yours.

Piracy and torrents have made my life so much better

I watch a lot of movies, usually around 150+ per year. Apple offers one newish movie as the .99 rental per week which I'm happy to pay for but when they come asking for $25 for a digital rental for the rest of the new stuff... Get the fuck outta here.

It's crazy that I can subscribe to Spotify and get virtually the entire history of music but video services have completely fractured the model into tiny shards. I will continue to watch my 150+ movies a year whether the studios want to offer a reasonable price or not.

Let them hop in and keep your 2 seconds. I used to have a 40 minute commute and on a busy morning would have 10-15 people do that. Know how much time that sets me back? 20 to 30 seconds. Following this rule I have a 25 year clean driving record and I guarantee these lane hoppers can't make that claim
