The highly salient point made by the setup of this joke is totally undermined by the implication that we should be scandalized by the specific second job, rather than the fact of needing one.

Very much yes.

Dropout and Nebula are making some insanely high quality content, and those are just the two obvious examples that came to my mind. Both also exhibit a more progressive business model and are less capitalistic in their thinking.

I’m sure there are plenty of similar examples.

I am among the aged ones.

Put the center of the compass in NY and it all works.

Treat this as untrustworthy anecdote since I can’t find the reference but I recall seeing an article recently where a few of the key partners have already split off and formed a new firm. I’d expect more like that based on my zero amount of expertise.

+1 now, and that’s for introducing me to the feature.

Surely this soul wrenching image displaying mankind’s inhumanity to innocent children will wake us from our stupor.

It’s worth noting that this is the second time in a few days where I’ve read something and said to myself “that is damn fine community moderation”, lo and behold both cases involved you, @TheTechnician27@lemmy.world. Keep up the great work, accept help from kindred spirits, and don’t let yourself burn out along the way.

Don’t worry, they were left totally unsatisfied.

My only quibble would be to swap “pay” for “invest” which captures both the dynamic of up front expense and expected savings from ending recurring subscription fees. That’s how I look at it. Every penny I put into my own digital sovereignty is an investment that will yield returns both financial and otherwise.

No, I don’t. I think we’re being lulled into believing he isn’t still fucking our shit up just as much as before.

Damn, my snark was not properly calibrated. My apologies.

Yep, no way that red circle is actually on his suit jacket.

In any case, what kind of craven soulless goblin so openly abdicates his responsibility to a constitution and a people in favor of pledging fealty to a mushroom dicked, orange powdered, tiny handed, wannabe dictator who sweats stale fry oil?

This guy apparently. (Edit) And his name is actually Brendan Carr, not Brian.

Hey you know what?

Does gun culture in America suck real bad? Sure it does.

Does it encourage stupid exchanges like this one? Absolutely.

But at least we have a populous that is primed, ready, and willing to fight back against tyrants, right?

Editorializing titles with unsupported claims is a very right wing move.

Let’s be better.

Ah, right! Thank you. Great reference and now I want to rewatch.

The love toilet. Fantastic Phil Hartman skit. And I can’t recall who the other star was.

Yeah in my experience it is both with both. Tire them out by throwing them around and then snuggle up.

You gave her a great life. She knew she was safe and loved and part of a family right until the end.
