You assume they could figure out that you’d be making fun of them. I think they probably lack the critical thinking and self-awareness for it to matter.
I’ve said many times that I can’t get rich off of stuff like this because I have a soul and wouldn’t be able to be ok with parting fools from their money. That might be you, too.
What socialist country has restaurants that give an itemized bill in English with USD for the currency?
Where I live, I have hills, big hills in every direction. I own both types of bike, a rad runner 6 for long, fast rides from my house, and then 20 miles up into the mountains along back roads.
I have a road bike that I bought when I couldn’t really afford it, and paid about 1,000 for it. It’s a tomasso. It’s ok. I wish I had a trek, or a specialized hybrid road with the slightly thicker tires than the tiny ones my road bike has. I can’t really afford those.
I use the RAD bike more for cardio, generally leave it in pedal assist 2 or 3 and just try to get a quick workout during lunch time. I take the other plain road bike out with a cycling club locally one or two nights a week. I don’t own a car, and I work from home. Biking makes me happy, but I get lazy when it’s really hot, so I ride the e-bikes more when it’s hot.
I’m 45. It’s not as easy as 45 to build muscle back up and get superfit in a short amount of time. The e-bike helps with cardio and keeps me excited about taking a quick spin without getting totally smoked by all of the hill climbs it takes to get out of my neighborhood, much less through the foothills of the smokies and Appalachians.
Even if you’re going off to the side you’re on, it’s a distraction. It will draw my attention back to see if you’ve fallen, crashed, or gotten hurt. I will check my mirrors for you to see if there are additional dangers to me. I ride around bike-like objects all the time. Passing you isn’t even going to be a thing that I notice. You’ll get a “On your left, passing” from me when I’m about to go by so you know not to do any funny business in my direction. I don’t expect you to exit the lane. Heck, if you’re doing 15MPH, we might ride and bullshit with each other for a bit.
Same, for better or worse.
My reddut account was from 2012. 2010 is when digg died and reddit took off more. So, reddit had 13 years to develop its content flow. This person couldn’t stay around 13 weeks to see what Lemmy could be.
No. It changes the username to [deleted].
This is such a short-sighted take. My wife was prom queen… 3 years before I met her. I forgot about it completely until I read your post and thought, “what a childish thing to say, no one cares about that.” Why? Because I have 20 years of history with my wife. 2 children, a good job, a good life, and a happy family. Exactly 0% of that has anything to do with a prom that happened years before we met.
I want to live a long and happy life, and have as many days as possible with my wife, my children, and maybe their children (if they decide to have any). The things that worry me aren’t whether or not I’m having sex with a former prom queen, but how can I stay healthy so I can have a chance to make as many memories with the people I love as possible. It’s about whether or not they feel loved, accepted, and fulfilled. High school popularity has no value whatsoever to healthy, adjusted adults.
About 2 hours for me if I’m not plugged in.
Freedoms were not limited. Any user can still go apply for a beehaw account if they want one. Any beehaw user can open an account on any other instance they want. People can still talk, people can still be heard.
No one is entitled to force others to listen to what they say. Beehaw’s owner pays for their server. It’s their own private instance. They can determine the rules that accounts that use or federate with their instance have to follow, and everyone has the freedom to associate with beehaw if they want.
Finally, beehaw isn’t a government, taking an action to limit the freedoms of their citizens. In most modern, western societies, that is between governments and their people. In nearly every similar structure, those people do not have the same “rights” in regards to private businesses or private organizations.
Don’t believe me? Go into a grocery store and start screaming obscenities at fellow customers and see how long it takes you to be forcibly removed and banned from the premises. And that won’t be your freedoms being limited, either. It will be that private business deciding that you’re not allowed to associate with them any longer.
This is no different. The people who run beehaw can choose how to run their space. It’s their money they pay for the service with. We don’t get to tell them how to spend it. Their users and donors have a say in it, and if their users and donors don’t like how the operators respond to their expectations, then they won’t have users and donors. That’s for them to decide.
People act like they’re entitled to an audience with beehaw users, and they simply aren’t. It’s that easy. You can’t just go into your neighbor’s house and demand they listen to what you have to say. They can, and will, boot your ass to the curb, or worse, as soon as they’re tired of listening. I’m not sure why this is so hard for some people to understand.
I’d probably say “consenting adults” when it comes to who people love instead of “within legal constraints”, because if conservatives could make gay people illegal, they would. But otherwise, I’m with you 100%.
I don’t go to church, think church is probably one of the most dangerous places for kids to be around adults, and still don’t care if people choose to force their kids to go to church. It’s just not my business who people choose to associate with as long as they’re not harming others.
Three, actually, if you count the indicted guy, the current governor, and the Miami mayor.
To be fair, my “woman” is able to disagree with me because I didn’t chain her up, hold her captive, and traffic her for my cam site (allegedly).
