Its less of a belief and more of a fact at this point.

Its still really sad either which way

That’s why I support the “right to repair”

Sadly a lot of devices are losing that ability by design

The Tall Man from Phantasm scared the shit out of me

I still have a nightmare once a decade about him chasing me screaming “BOY!”

My number one reason: battery life

The free space in the middle can just be “BEANS”

I run a digital currency investment group.

I can make 10-15k per day, so it’s not a lot in the grand scheme of things

For the companies who want a huge advantage over others, $100 is nothing in an advertising budget.

I have a small business and I do $1000 a week in advertising.

Windows 11 is my newest “main” computer. I also just got a nice Win 11 laptop for my new business.

Though my “working” IT laptop boots with both Windows 10 and Ubuntu.

You can buy 700 votes anonymously on reddit for really cheap

I don’t see that it’s a big deal, really. It’s the same as it ever was.

Yeah, but it’s easier and more reliable in some cases.

For example, every three months I have to go through a renewal process to get my diabetes medicine with my insurance. That’s up to a week without my life saving medicine.

If I were to get it on the darknet, I’d add years to my life since I don’t have to wait weeks to get the proper medicine.

That’s not true. There’s a difference between addiction and dependence medically.

You don’t say that a person on insulin is an addict. You don’t say that a person on heart medicine is an addict. We shouldn’t say that a person on opiates are addicts.

Addicts take the medicine without a medical need. Dependent people need to take the medicine in order to live a normal life.

A lot of people are turning to the dark web to get just basic medicine because it’s such a headache to get the medicine that they need. It’s WAY cheaper too.

It’s sad that people have to resort to that, but it’s better than suffering.

Yeah, I know that I started on Fark around September 11th

The internet DDoS’d all the news sites and Fark was the only place anyone could get any information.

It’s crazy that it’s still around and pretty much unchanged.

People who are dependent on opiates and opioids.

Some people who are in a lot of pain legitimately need the medicine in order to have a normal life. It doesn’t make us high, it makes us ‘normal’ because we actually require the medicine to bring us to normal levels of activity.

Just because someone is physically dependent on the medicine, does not make them an addict too

Most of us would rather never take another pill in our lives if we were suddenly healed.

Lemmy is pretty much my new Reddit much in the same way Reddit was my new Fark.com 12 years ago.

Now that I’m on Lemmy, I’m also exploring Fark again. I’m wondering why I ever left as it still is super relevant.

Yeah, he’s one of the best parts of the movie too

There are just so many quotable lines from Kung Pow

“That’s a lot of nuts!”

“You go that way, I’ll go home.”

“We trained him wrong as a joke”

“If you got an ass I’ll kick it!”

“My nipples look like Milk Duds!”

“I’m a man too, you know. I go peepee standing up!”

“I rock and roll, all day long, sweet Susie!”

“Leap that wall, if you’re so great!”

“I’m a nice man with happy feelings all the time!”

“I’ve got some yellow liquid for your popcorn, and it’s non-dairy!”

Fark.com is one of the oldest link agitator sites out there.

I found it during September 11th when all the other news sites went down due to traffic. It’s still going just as strong, if not stronger, today.

It’s for sure a lemmy alternative / supplement

I’ve not been back to Reddit for days and I have no plans on returning

I was afraid that there wouldn’t be enough content, but there’s a LOT.

If ever this happens, I think of it a challenge. Most of these are easy enough to get around.

If I can’t get around it, then I’ll bring the issue to the larger ublock origin community.
