Short form content like those found on reddit and here on Lemmy have retrained my brain, I’m sure of it. I’m actively trying to fight it, by forcing myself to read full articles, scroll more slowly and try to engage more fully rather than just endlessly scrolling for the next dopamine hit.

It’s easy to justify this behavior because “I’m just getting my news and staying informed” and while partially true it comes at the cost of the medium it’s provided by. Screen “reading” has definitely changed our brains for the worse and most people have no clue its even happened.

They will first try to remove these guys “legally”, next they will intimidate, after that anyone who stands against his majesty will start falling out of windows.

You haven’t heard? He’s the new king now, he can do whatever.

Still not a drag queen.

what was it like before you were born? That’s what it’s like after you die.

Sounds like the “Fart of the Deal”

There are no safety nets and guard rails anymore. It will be raining judges out the windows soon and that’s your sign that it’s totally over.

Yeah it’s only a matter of time before judges start falling out of windows. That’s the next step.

It’s not just the tipping part of our culture that’s bad. The entire thing is rot.

We need a new system where profit is generated by the good you do in this world. I fucking hate the current system.

Walker Texas ranger would like a word with you.

I dont care what the Internet says, I want congress or the SC to say something. Who cares what I think.

one of us one of us

I don’t care what your view is on this legislation, but I shall provide the obligatory “FUCK MIKE LEE”.

The term is radicalized.

You’re not wrong. We are seeing that exact scenario play out right now. We can agree on one thing. We are all fucked.

I disagree. A sated population is far easier to control. Hungry populations become desperate and have little to lose. Americans are sated and comfortable which is why we have allowed this to happen.

Microwave huh? Never heard of it!

Lemmy needs better marketing. The name is lame an non-descriptive of what it is. The UI, while awesome to the tech savvy is not modern enough to compete with alternatives. For Lemmy to succeed it has to become “cool” and it’s not there yet and seems to lack that sort of direction.
