  • I have just realized that in of 2020 TikTok was about to get banned in US by Trump administration and he even signed an executive order for the ban. But since he lost elections later that year, ban was reversed by Biden administration.

    THE FUCKING SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED IN REVERSE IN 2025 when Biden’s admin ordered it to be banned in january and it was unbanned (postponed ban) 3 times with the last one lasting until September.

    I call extreme sus on this one. There are weird powers around tiktok that are/were important in info-war and elections in general.




  • I beg to disagree.

    The reason all these delusional posts getting even upvoted to begin with is due to many like-minded people are gathered together in the same sub. As an example, reddit’s r/democrats and r/republicans. One is clearly more sane than another, yet try to say something in a wrong sub - get downvoted to oblivion. But if you spill your delusional shit in a r/republicans - upvotes galore and comments of praise.

    Facebook groups are the same shit. And so is Lemmy. One thing in hexbear that is allowed could/will be the reason you got a ban in .world. Up/Downvotes cant fix that.

    tl;dr Village idiots can join together to accumulate their own conspiracies in a big ass circlejerk, and social media has no power to stop it.




  • I live in a big city of an decently big country. Here we got many of them particularly around large train stations. I never give to them any money. Reason is - this country has a safety system in order to help people in need like this. If homeless people go against the rules (crime, drugs, abuse of the system) they get kicked out of the shelters. They get help with all sorts of things there and if they really are in dire situation and want to get back to normal life, they would get all necessary help they ever need and more. If they got kicked out, I believe they didn’t really wanted to get back their normal life. And in some cases, I see just youth smoking weed on the side of the street and begging for money. They are not in need, they have families and homes. They just collect money for weed. Fuck those guys, really.

    I give money to street performers all the time. This brings life and color to the city.








  • Yes and no. Some things got better and easier than 30 years ago. Some things entshittified beyond reasonable expectations.

    We got phones which act as a device to connect the world with endless amount if information, entertainment and is a great tool for personal comfort yet the same things are twisted to a degree where we cant live without a phone anymore. Can’t not to have a social media account, we got fully compliant to the surveillance that is happening to us not even that we are tracked not only for the governments of our countries but mainly by advertisers in order to manipulate us into buying crap we don’t need.

    Feels like a double edged sword to me personally.



  • some of them can barely operate at light switches

    Here’s a short story for this fact.

    I have sold coffee machine on Monday. Next day got a message that it doesn’t work. I ask what is up with it and she told me it won’t start. I asked if she turned switch in the back in ON position? 1h later she writes me that it works!

    I mean yeah, there is a switch in the back and a big ass ON button on the front. But I totally think that basic troubleshooting would solve this enigma before shooting the gun at me for selling a faulty device.
