Long time back I used to use a spam email whenever I needed one. Then services started declining emails from those services, so I made a temp Gmail I used for everything. But I'm not comfortable with how much I use that.
i think we need Cracked-style articles back. desperately. or like, a guy doing a weird thing and writing a piece on it. sites like those are declining faster than the glaciers.
It also funnels down to freedom from bureaucracy too. Look at how hard it is in many places to legally build a non-fancy home on your own property. Endless restrictions, regulations, permits and inspections. Nobody is trying to free us from this.

It's not all of a sudden. The Spring Break crowd has been controversial for decades. Bar and hotel owners of course love them. Locals unaffiliated with the tourism industry are more ambivalent and always have been.
I am not a film maker in any way. So then why do so many news sites tell me about how much money the film has taken in during its first weekend, week, etc...?...
If these movies did not make money, they would not get made. Maybe other types of movies would get made, and maybe they'd be better, but the big budget movies that do get made are to make money.

Race is not a biological term but it's absolutely a sociological term, i.e. a complex social construct we've created based on superficial physical characteristics
Some instances defederate from others, and you want to make your community somewhere where you agree with the moderation policy.
Is there a way to easily see which instances are defederated from others (or conversely which instances are connected)?
What does defederation imply? Feeds aren't aggregated, or users are not allowed from the other instance?
Also one other major question. I thought lemmy was its own thing, but I guess it's part of the Fediverse? The Fediverse is just a set of protocols? What is lemmy then?
Good to know! Are there other Fediverse sites with different moderation practices? Like what's an example of one with a VERY strict policy, and what's an example of one with a very loose policy?
Cool. Can I ask you one more question? Can I comment on Beehaw (or lemmyNSFW, but I'm at work so not going there right now) using this account I have at lemmy.world? The reason I ask is, I see that I can comment on other lemmies (e.g. lemmy.ml) using this account, but only if I find them through lemmy.world's communities|All tab. But I don't see Beehaw there.
Or more basically, in general for another instance running Lemmy, how do I access it using this account at lemmy.world?
It's easy if you pay attention at all times. Do not fall into your ingrained habits. If you stay focused, especially while turning, you won't have a problem.
I have never driven a manual on the wrong side. I wouldn't do that. I would rent an automatic.
My social media algorithms show me so many cool cosplayers, tomboys, pretty girls in a variety of nice clothes, alt girls, fairies with elf ears but never any attractive men doing anything cool or stylish or interesting that it just feels so lame being a guy....
I'm sorry, you're confused about this. People with money are not driving the behavior of the hottie enjoyers. It's the reverse. Joe Everyman is willing to give his attention to hot women, and Instagram is profiting off that.
Misgendering is a very mild form of disrespect compared to what all is out there, regularly, on X and every other social media site. It is a good thing that these sites do not generally regulate disrespect, although for community controlled forums (such as subreddits) I think it's good that moderators can choose their own rules.
Basically I'm looking for a heterodox political lemmy community where moderate opinions are valued and the level of discourse is pretty good. Where people are there to talk and there's not as much venting.
It's good for kids to see their parents providing for them - such as packing lunches for school. It emphasizes the truth that adult life is a series of mundane but important tasks, and that duty is also important.
You're going to need to provide the definition of nutrition that you are using.
Also if you're angry at "apple and ham sandwich" you're going to need to do the compared to what thing, and I guarantee you the content of the school lunches the kids' parents failed to pay for would make you even angrier.
You are right on the last point. Parents should feed their kids.

There's also the probability that OP is fixating on the sort of hyperfeminine transwomen that are often quite prominent on social media, when in fact there are many transwomen flying under the radar. I would guess that OP is attracted to lavish displays of femininity, and you can find a lot of those in the social media presences of some transwomen. Some biological women as well, but OP is exposed to many, many, more biological women that do not display themselves with this feminine style.
No judgement on any of this I'm just trying to articulate a statistical and aestheic phenomenon.
A lot of these net worth increases are from the rising value of companies whose shares they own a lot of (e.g. Amazon in Bezos's case)
Many people aren't interested in a life of leisure. They want to create, achieve, and strive. In the same way that someone may want to spend more time creating art, people like Bezos and Musk want to spend more time creating companies that build and make things. Both of them spend a lot of their time on passion projects having to do with space travel, for example.
So the question is: okay, you make your billion and you retire. What then? Lie around and watch TV and stuff? A lot of people are not interested in that.
I haven't looked into it, but there's got to be some open source firmware for a lot of these TVs, right? To improve the UI and remove all spyware and bloatware?
In the whirlwind of technological advancements, artificial intelligence (AI) often becomes the scapegoat for broader societal issues. It’s an easy target, a non-human entity that we can blame for job displacement, privacy concerns, and even ethical dilemmas. However, this perspective is not only simplistic but also...
Please explain how in a non-capitalist world, AI would never be used for the sorts of things you dislike AI being used for such as job elimination. You think nobody will realize that it can be used to produce lots of art, for example?
In this non-capitalist world you're thinking of, would we have any automation? Like do we have harvester combines, or is it still 35 people breaking their backs to cut and thresh an acre of wheat?
What is a good place to get multiple single-use email addresses?
Long time back I used to use a spam email whenever I needed one. Then services started declining emails from those services, so I made a temp Gmail I used for everything. But I'm not comfortable with how much I use that.
