You've never seen the "I wouldn't even date you" negging, where adult-aged boys try to trick women into pleading their case to the kid?

I think I go to the bar 2 or 3 times a year, and I've seen it several times. I'm glad that doesn't seem to be as much of a thing in the gay community, at least that I've seen.

Right at the start it has this line

A foreign megacorp using their money to try to influence Canadian politics.
Bill s-210 is a privacy nightmare, basically requiring you to give your government-issued photo ID to tech companies.

• everything NSFW you have ever looked up is connected to your real life identity.
• Mega corps often bend to government requests for data
• certain things, like being LGBTQ+, get you jailed or killed in some countries

Why are you using the quote function? What/who are you quoting?

I don't care about Trump's feeling, I care about the feelings of others.

I've had sex with a few guys with very small penises, and they often seem afraid of being rejected or insulted once we're both nude.

I wouldn't insult him, because I don't see a point.

It's too easy for it to be turned into "Look at these haters" to entrench his base.

Yay for body-shaming?

They're just other cards in disguise.

Some of them are owned by Citibank, which makes them not Visa or Mastercard, but Citibank is still American owned. The other issue is that many stores in Canada are still owned by Americans or American companies.

It's about proving who was the original creator/user of the IP, instead of who is the first to file to have that IP protected.

The flipside of this would be having random holding companies just mass filing for ownership of everything posted online, said, written-down, or created, in the hopes that they get approved first so they can sue others, even the creators, for using it.

Look at the "very demure, very mindful" woman, Jools Lebron. Someone else (Jefferson Bates) file to trademark the saying because the original creator didn't think to until after it was viral. Because the laws are ultimately about proving who was the creator, and not who filed first in the USA, it's likely that Jools will get ownership, eventually.

shows that aren’t stupid gimmicks.

I don't own a tv, but what are the gimmick-based shows? Schitt's Creek, Baroness von Sketch Show, and Kim's Convenience are recent(ish) CBC shows that did very well.

That might be the same person, just at work vs at home.

I think the main point of federation is being able to see something from Lemmy.zip with an account on Lemmy.ca. So if one service goes down, or a there is a difference of opinion on what the rules should be, the whole platform of "Lemmy" doesn't go up in flames.

This prevents one person or group from controlling everything.

The grumpy answer: Don't mix and match across platforms.

They are very different platforms that serve very different purposes, and they have very different layouts. Viewing things from different instances using the same service works quite well, but even when cross-platform things work, it's not a great experience.

If you want to see stuff on Mastodon server, use a Mastodon account. If you want to see something on Pixelfed, use a pixelfed account, if you want to see stuff on Lemmy, use a Lemmy account.

She's pro oil and gas, and hates trans people.

That's how.

I have not though about the time cube in years, looks like the site is gone now.

I would like to remind you that we didn't provoke Russia into bombing Georgia, or invading Ukraine.

Fuck fossil fuels, but fuck the narrative that the Russian government isn't fully culpable for their acts of war and invasions.

People are often rewarded with power or money for doing/saying shitty things.
If you are rewarded for something, you are likely to continue the pattern.

Depends on the model. People are mostly attacking cybertrucks in the wild.

If it's cybertruck, the owner knew, or chose not to know.
