Seriously. I feel like a stone cold asshole, but holy shit what the fuck were they thinking? I am struggling to scrounge up any sympathy for such an outrageously stupid decision. People truly think they’re special, and act like they have plot armor. Very sad, but not surprising.

I’m doing wonderfully! Looking forward to cooking tonight, trying out a recipe from Nik Sharmas most recent book. How are you doin?

From where I sit physical media is experiencing a huge surge in popularity. So I think bluray is here to stay, and will see more usage in the coming years.

Nice! I wasn’t sure so I just mentioned it. Never seen memes about it the way I have with blockbuster haha

Great article! I have vivid memories of renting this from Hollywood Video (a southern california blockbuster equivalent), getting so confused, and giving up on it very quickly.

Your reading comprehension needs some work. I explicitly said that this is clearly a case of diminishing quality, which could be attributed to the example you listed or any one of many other terrible corporate practices. Then I said in a social sense, I don’t see a downside to the general idea of Americans eating less fried chicken. I was elaborating past the original point of the post.

So this is about kfc, so it’s clearly an example of a corporation being cheap af and diminishing quality. But like, on the lighter more social side of things, I dunno. This kind of speaks to the fact that as Americans we have a totally distorted view of how big animals are. Also, we have no concept of what reasonable portion sizes are. I think smaller pieces of fried chicken is probably a good thing for most of us healthwise lol. Ideally, it would reflect more responsible chicken farming. I mean, this is kfc, so I know that’s not the case here. But in general, I don’t see any real downsides to smaller pieces of fried chicken. We eat too much as it is lol.

I worked at a library in college. It was amazing. Truly one of my favorite jobs I’ve had. Libraries are legitimately one of the best things about modern society. Go support your local library folks!!

I relate to this more than op. I pretty much only use lemmy and discuit, and then twitch and discord for gaming. And I spend way less time on them than i did on reddit. Youtube has never been my thing. I hate being talked at by some try hard asshole trying to get me to subscribe to their mediocre channel. And the community there feels like it’s mostly people under the age of 16. No thanks. In general, the enshitiffication is real, and it’s pushing me away.

Since the reddit api exodus. It’s a small community, but feels very tight knit. It’s also the least toxic place out of those I listed, excepting rss.

Discord, discuit, twitch, feeder (foss rss feed)

This is one of the shittiest shitposts I’ve ever seen. Well done!

Rutabaga! Buttery and delicious. I can’t understand why people don’t like it.

I’ve had unlimited sms since before I had a smart phone.

Go to your local food bank. Food banks are often seriously underused programs that are exactly for people in your situation. A lot of people are hesitant to use food pantries because they perceive them to be for people in worse shape than themselves. But if you are only able to pay half rent, you are exactly the person that food pantries are more than happy to help. They are typically staffed with incredible people who often have their own experiences with trouble making ends meet, and these days you can get some very high quality and fresh food. Please, go. Other than that, know that being tired and feeling hopeless is normal, but you can persevere. Just reaching out here is a really hard step that takes a lot of courage. Good on you! And good luck! Internet hugs!!!

If only you possessed the capability to read what you wrote as an outsider. So weird and culty.

This morning. I cry pretty regularly though. It’s a good way to keep myself in touch with myself.

They all lie on the stand. Such cowards. They feel no remorse at all. I don’t believe they are sorry for a second.

No advertisements. Period. Donations should be enough, especially if instances remain small like they are intended to. The federated internet is not about becoming reddit, which many people misunderstand. It’s supposed to be something different, and one of the keys to that difference is avoiding corporate interests driving the site. Advertisements kill that instantly. If you want ads, go use meta shit.
