How is progress on the Crazy Horse monument? I’ve swung by once a decade since I was a teen, but it’s been 11yrs since my last visit.

Reading these incredible comments has revealed a large piece of what was named as the reason for lemm.ee shutting down.

This is a safety feature of women social groups for time immemorial. It’s a piece of how we survived prior to the last 50 years, and it continued as we moved forward into the era of liberation. We talk to each other.

I realize the “guy code” is one of silence. Cheating? Bros won’t say anything or warn anyone, by this code. In fact, the opposite is demanded by that code. Woman do the opposite, that is how the woman code works. I’ve witnessed fallout in friend groups when these diametrically opposed codes meet on regards to another friend. Apparently, having lunch with the cheated on woman and letting her know what is happening is applauded by women and enraging to men.

The piece regarding cheating is about integrity and treating people right in addition to safety. The rest of it is usually just about safety.

We survived millennia between being treated like prized horses. uteruses/vaginas with life support systems attached, and animals to be beaten, by talking to each other. Warning each other. Helping each other, where able.

The anger here, from you, is 100% expected, but the ordinary nature of that anger doesn’t make women wrong for exposing safety concerns in the dating pool. Given the myriad of diseases, including the incredible comeback of syphilis the last couple years, cheating is also a safety concern. Cheating should be exposed, always.

Why is everything we do, when we band together, seen as suspect and dangerous?

Fuck.

I certainly hope these people aren’t driving themselves to work with this schedule. In addition I hope no one on it has a heart condition.

The sweet spot for 12s is in having 4 days off per week. There isn’t time for anything in life on work days except work, sleep, commute. Thirdly, the first day off is a wash. Recovery. Like a nap that simply goes on all day. 12s are great but only with block scheduling and days off.

This schedule proposal sounds like something out of pre-OSHA, possibly intended to kill people. Live to work, not the other way around.

I’m not a programmer. Let me state it better though. I want the algorithms or lack thereof of the early 00s. I want to be able to search for something and get more than scrape sites and top 14, 17, or 22 lists. I want to be able to search for a businesses and contractors and get more than national chains with 800 numbers. If I type in electricians in city, state, I want it to actually do that instead of making me find a map app.

I want todays content in 2002 search engines.

Enshittify search to the point of it being nearly useless. Then introduce a little bot to find it for you. Predictable.

Glass door used to post salaries and hourlies. There were visible trends of men making more, hourly, than women. I haven’t viewed the site in years though.

I would support a better version of this.

Deficit is a major piece. They talk about it and then invariably increase it every time.

RNC lowers taxes, technically, but only ever in a way that hurts working class. DNC leave it all as is, never changing the bottom line.

First draft meme, here.

Reddit is repetitive and tiresome on the main subs. It’s so bot driven. There are so many ads. Spaz is a dipshit.

That said Lemmy still lacks the small, niche subs, which are still ok over there due to small numbers.

That said Lemmy will get the numbers for those niche subs if we all join and contribute.

I have my old Speak & Spell. It still works.

No. Matthew Crooks went after him because of his suspicion of Trump being in the Epstein Files.

Rosie was brought by Trump, in association with a heinously treasonous idea, to distract from Trump’s association with the Epstein Files.

Distraction is Trump’s preferred tool when he’s scared or grifting.

Of course, but it sets an example, proves to people that Linux can be mainstream and usable well beyond the corners where that mindset already exists.

It’s excellent advertising and promotion.

Imperfect Foods used to deliver weekly, perishables included, and they ended up being bought out by Misfit Market. Now, it’s overpriced crunchy product, like shopping Whole Foods from home instead of saving on ugly carrots, grapefruit sized cabbage, and overstock.

They’re not out of business yet. There is a market for perishables and produce delivery. and people are used to Amazon so they may win on this, sadly.

This is what is needed to push back on Microsoft.
