so, we pay more (fastpass or whatever it is) for the privilege. 😅

re: Tankies: I’m 90% sure that’s part of the inexperienced and immature crowd; they - like the vegans and the anti-renting crowd - all have super tunnel vision. Zero nuance or discussion. They fixate on one point to the exclusion of any sanity (which is heavily a spectrum symptom).

HOWEVER, I should add in my rant, there is one other odd / good thing about Lemmy: significantly higher ratio of non-Americans. More language/ communication barriers I’ve encountered from it, and they are still mostly the aforementioned groups - but hey, not 99% Americans here.

re: Asperger’s: heh, I get you. Honestly, imo: own it. Like the LGBT crowd taking the word “gay” back, I see no problem with “Aspys” reclaiming Aspergers.

Linux, vegans, anti-renting, autists (literally, not a slur); it’s a good mix of the worst of Reddit, without the racism & nazis of Reddit. The biggest longterm difference is that almost no-one on Lemmy has any skills or experience. Flying Squid is 47 and only discovered that coupons existed on the internet last month. There aren’t knowledge experts on topics like Reddit has.

Honestly, Reddit has been looking better and better. Overall, conversations are more wholesome than on Lemmy. Which is weird as fuck.

I mean, don’t get me wrong: r/conservative and plenty of places are cesspools of filth, but you can get banned from reasonable subs by posting or joining garbage subs. It’s done a lot to make things less shit.

CEO is still garbage, mods are mixed, etc.

that would be the correct, nuanced approach, yes. But that isn’t how things are on Lemmy.

basically, Lemmy doesn’t think people should be allowed to rent. You either own a house or live in a hotel. No inbetween.

Still struggling with English, I see?

dude, I’m literally begging you to understand nothing I’ve said is “my idea”, but how things actually are outside of your house.

that makes it worse.

A European who acts like they’ve never left the usa.

no.

no.

exactly where they should be.

lol. no.

and you’ve never left the usa.

lol. no.

fun fact, pluto and charon are technically a binary planet(oid), because the point they orbit is in-between them. (Charon doesn’t orbit Pluto, they both circle empty space)

There are more cashless options than using banks.

In some countries you can use phones (and phone credit, more or less) as your payment option. Doesn’t even have to be a smart phone, though that makes it easier.

Beggers on the street with QR codes printed out. Or their phone number on cardboard.

And in other countries, you can use the local equivalent of the Uber app instead of a bank account.

Cashless is good. Safer for the homeless (harder to rob) and still easy to give money to them.

…but I love how you didn’t argue about the giant spider tank.

“Wild Wild West” was a movie starring Will Smith.

build number (version) of Firefox, which is the software in question.

“Galaxy S21” is the model name for a physical Samsung phone, which isn’t relevant to the topic.
