Incredible!

I lost the ability to comment on insta bc I commented in my representatives page. He is not only an elected representative, he is pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atl. This is the pulpit MLK led hia movement from. So yes, I am extra mad that he has not even made a statement. I have already done the emails, they don’t care. So I figured a public comment on his insta post would stir something up, it did. Meta told me I’d be stfu for a while.

So once I was able to comment again I stated that meta can fuck right off and I’ll be signing up for telegram. At least journalists can post freely there.

I feel this, but more along the line of chosen ignorance rather than actual stupidity. Either a new topic us overwhelming or they worry\fear they’ll get it “wrong”. Also, being from the south, where so much has been politicized, they fear the tribal back lash of thinking for themselves. I don’t know what’s wrong with me, I was never the type to “go with it”.

This has driven me crazy for a long time too. It really feels like this picture and takes something away from any enjoyment.

The kitchen disco requires really good headphones. You don’t get ear covering sound without a jack.

I was shocked when he got a gov’t contract after he admitted to all that fuckery in Ukraine. Wtf is happening in gov’t???

This is what I came here for

This made me laugh really hard and not know why. Congrat

I was taken to task aa a hostess in 1989 for saying ," enjoy your lunch" rather than “gentlemen enjoy your lunch”

Organic ,non bot, actual real conversation, is not going to skyrocket. It’s going to grow like a real world thing. This is good imo

So this us when we write to our reps? Make social media post?

All my adult life, his books have been a refuge from (in order of era)

Conspicuous consumption

Boomer narcissism

Yuppies

Reaganomics …

Fundamentalism , extreme Christianity

Class warfare

White supremacy

…

More recently he has laser focused on

Societal roles

Nuerodivergence

Scalding the hell out of Trump and maggats

He’s literally a moral and ethical compass for many and can reach us when we are young.

As he and I have aged, he’s literally been a comfort in the way he writes about our actual ghosts snd what haunts us.

He’s brilliant ,I’m a huge fan can you tell? Cheers

From what I can see as of a couple hours ago, they’ve been bombing the south and refugee camps. So far they use this messaging as a way to corral and murder.

I love you lemmy, this is why I’m here tkutkutku

I need this so I downloaded if that’s OK thankyou

If you look at history you’ll find banks have a way of getting what they want or destroying faith. It’s never straight forward. They have teams of lawyers, teams of people who make moves based solely on profit.

I am gainfully employed but keep an eye on what’s available in the US just to see what opportunities are out there. I started seeing some insane salaries and so checked the offers out. Five minutes of research shows that even with the highest salary , there is literally no place to live. Neither rent nor purchase. Because it’s a service like Indeed, I don’t see a way to contact the job poster directly and see if they are even aware this is an issue. Many of the postings are around one month old.

You mentioned nursing, here in the US, hospitals have been pared back to mostly large urban areas. This caused my brain to hurt.

Cheers and luck, I hope y’all don’t end up renting in old age!

I’ve loved the thoughtful discourse on Lemmy, I’ve grown weary of seeing news about reddit in the feed. Reddit died long before this last bit, becoming a haven for a particular, ill informed, consensus seeking group.

Then tonight, I had a reddit moment here on Lemmy where some non socialized, rude, consensus seeking user wanted to snipe and sounded like an over protected , suburban, adolescent boy.

I haven’t seen one of those here yet and they are the absolute plague of open discourse .

Please Lemmy, don’t let it go on.

Excuse me, I said hey rude ass, I’ve never used Tumblr. So, why don’t you tell me what this is then, tell me so I can fall in line with your expectations.
