Never noticed because I've never received a single voice message in the 5+ years of using it. Then again, I only use it with friends and not large communities. I've had spam messages, but they're rare and just text talking about crypto.

It's advertising. I don't care for advertising. It's like if all food subs were posts by Kraft, Taco Bell, Lays, Ben & Jerry's, etc.

If people want to advertise, that's fine, there are avenues for that. r/gonewild got ruined by being filled to the brim with OF ads. Other communities had to be made to recreate the space that gonewild used to be.

the basis for r/gonewild was a place for REDDITORS to "go wild", not for women who are paid to do so, to then create a reddit account so they can have a place to advertise their product (their photos and videos) for free.

and they are not responsible for the feelings of OP. Why should they have to accept OPs way of being blunt when OP won't do the same for them? Being autistic isn't an excuse for being a jerk.

OP talks about feeling like they have to coddle people, and I guarantee they 100% feel the same when talking to OP.

I’m just trying to communicate in a way that works for me

Here's the kicker, you have to communicate in a way that works for people other than yourself when you aren't talking to only yourself. Everyone would like to be blunt all the time, but then we'd argue more and constantly be at each other's throats.

OP should read about diplomacy, especially between countries without similar languages.

wouldn't the best take to be to just use the tankie's labor for the betterment of all mankind? Fuck who makes the shit if it's FOSS.

Personally I think the decentralized solution is some sort of fake-central website that many people can host part of, no one having full control of any one community. kind of like bittorrent in that you have the one torrent file, but the source of the content is pulled from many locations. You could definitely have redunancy in case one server goes down at any time, but not as much as BT where every seeder needs the whole source. spread it all out. take 100 servers connected to the project, split the content into sections, and then layer the redundancy all over so no two servers have the same cache but also that nothing is only on a single server.

I wish I was smart enough to code or even explain this idea better. :( at the very least I hope I inspire someone.

The layout isn't great, and everytime I load the page it'll load a few random brand new posts at the top after a second and that's annoying.

I'm a Futurama purist. Don't get me wrong, there are some good episodes post return, but nothing beats the feel of S1-5. Might be the 4:3. Might be the SD

Yes, this is life. We all feel like this almost all the time.

there’s really nothing to do about it

ah, great suggestion. "just roll over and take it!"

Get bent

You should know more things so other things come more easily to you as they do me, because I am really smart.

and yet again the dems will not hold their ground, will bow to the conservatives, and then when asked why they can't get anything done, will complain they need more donations.

At this point I'm starting to believe that the DNC (not specific party members, but the shadow organization that's in charge of strategy, ran by unelected administrators) has given up and might even be trying just not hard enough so they can keep up the facade that they care about the middle and lower classes.

100% agree! Look what we used to have before the car companies bought and destroyed it all:

an AI generated image looks more real that she does.

They better! I think I posted the map of the old routes in another topic here and it just makes me mad what they took from us. Don't get me wrong, I love my car, and I love driving it. I hate having to use it to be able to get anywhere.

Reading the MacAddict reports from this show was so cool.

no, because that's literally the point of making a fucking reference.

This should be a lot of fun! Idk if it's free to view, but since it's the river it's not like they can stop you anyway

Ok, so same is a stretch, but you have to admit it's pretty similar lol

Give him enough senators and the house and he will make fundamental changes to voting rights and possibly the supreme court.

How many times do we have to hear this lie or other excuses?
