Hope you’re okay bud. If you ever need an outlet treat my inbox like a punching bag. Someone out here cares about you, even when you feel like nobody does (been there) 💙

I know it’s super late, but thank you for this comprehensive analysis. I’ve been admittedly lax in recognising Dolly’s greatness (I’ve always known she was awesome, but didn’t quite recognise the extent, as a sheltered gay) but your post did open my eyes to how much catching up I have to do.

I haven’t deleted the post because I did relate to Shania more, since she was my icon, but yeah… she doesn’t hold a candle to Dolly, I’ll admit that. Thanks for giving me a heads up for more things to watch, listen to, and appreciate Dolly for everything she is. 💙

Honestly as soon as they made supporting more than 1 device a “premium” feature I dropped them like a bad habit. Fuck LastPass, Bitwarden does exactly what they do but 1000x better

Rage memes are older than 2011… right?

I feel like I saw rage comics back in the early days of the O Rly? owl and candlejack. Although I mi

Their bullshit AMA about third party apps and general “it’ll all blow over in a week” attitude should’ve made that apparent to more people. It’s why I left as soon as RIF stopped working, and why many of us are here now.

I’ll never give that shitshow of a website any traffic again

I haven’t set foot in a public pool since I learned that chlorine doesn’t have a smell, and that public pool “chlorine” smell is actually chloramines - made from the chlorine in the pool reacting with ammonia in urine.

Avoiding the shark is just an added bonus

Q: why? Is August 19th yet another supposed apocalypse I’ve mysteriously survived through? 'Cos tbh as a millennial I’m tired of these, there’s been so many

No idols at all? I know they’re all just people but c’mon… you must have someone you looked up to?

Tbh that was the song that got me listening to Shania in the first place. It is indeed a banger; Up! has many more. She’s talented!

You are correct though, Dolly is incredible. I just wasn’t really aware of her and everything she’s done until relatively recently (I only watched Steel Magnolias for the first time this week - gay gasp - so I’m a little sheltered, one of my many flaws)

It starts with the basics; piracy, cp, etc. Then it becomes whatever the highest-paying corporation wants to censor. Opposing political views? Check. Anything pro-free thinking? Check. There’s no end to this, so we have to head it off at the pass. If corporations own the Web, we have lost (and we’re shamefully close to that reality…)

The traffic lights are on the pole, but the pole is only there to hold the traffic lights up so it doesn’t count. The black box that contains the traffic lights does, though, even though by itself it can’t be considered “traffic lights”. Idk maybe I’m an AI

Yeah. If it was possible to pirate food I wouldn’t feel so bad about being so poor

Not to mention the comparison between watching a movie at home, where you know it will be silent, versus the risk of having at least one (but often more) groups of people who will not shut the fuck up the whole time.

Same boat as you. When LastPass implemented their “subscribe to use on more than 1 device” policy I noped the fuck out of there so fast. Should’ve been on Bitwarden all along

Yeah I definitely wouldn’t call Beehaw “too liberal”, though I don’t personally see being “for freedom” as a bad thing - you’re definitely right. It’s more about the moderation tools and being able to separate opposing points of view from relevant communities

…and in case I have not made it perfectly clear I think the fact that Nazis still exist in the information age is absolutely fucking absurd

The admins of beehaw are more Liberal (if you are anywhere in the LGBTQIA+ space the other side’s content is largely considered offensive enough to defederate from) and presumably the other way around.

Annoyingly I guess it all comes around to politics and which side of history you want to be on. Personally I’m all for letting other people be in charge of whatever the fuck they want to do with their life - to an extent - but context matters

Boozilla’s comment explains in better detail and I 100% recommend a read to gain a better understanding. Basically the moderation tools on Lemmy aren’t quite up to stuff yet
