It looks like they disabled responses about current major political figures.

Nice try CVS

I am sure CVS will not assume the worst when I buy three 12 packs of Magnum XL, two bottles of NyQuil, six cans of Monster Energy and a roll of duct tape.

So Australia then?

I hear what you are saying but the truth is that they will stay, just so they aren’t missing, regardless of ROI. Case in point is Xitter. The numbers clearly state that the level of engagement and sales conversion from Xitter ads is pitiful, especially when compared to Bluesky, yet advertisers still hang in there…just in case.

All that does is make YouTube money while costing money to the advertisers.

The US is getting owned by China left and right, but sure lets focus on abusing minorities, women, LGBTQ+, and the poor instead of investing on actually making America great. Whatever.

I live in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. According to the forecast, the Florida panhandle is expected to get more snow totals than us for the rest of the month. That’s crazy. Worst gulf ever.

Is there a Darwin Award community on Lemmy? This feels like a good submission.

Germans who get their news through TikTok are less likely to see China as a dictatorship, be less critical of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and be more sceptical about climate change and the utility of vaccines than consumers of other media.

There are worse things in life than having your ass washed by someone who loves you. Bonus points for the reach around handy.

Up here, in Wyoming, it gets so cold and dry that if you don’t scrub the dead skin off your legs regularly, your skin will crack. It can get very painful.

You are confusing the Church of Satan (actual Satanists and mythology) with the Satanic Temple.

With unfortunate regularity - and much to our chagrin - The Satanic Temple is confused with an earlier organization, the Church of Satan, founded by Anton Szandor LaVey in the 1960s.

The Satanic Temple is a non-theistic organization…

…the group views Satan neither as a supernatural being, nor a symbol of evil, but instead relies on the literary Satan as a symbol representing “the eternal rebel” against arbitrary authority and social norms, or as a metaphor to promote pragmatic skepticism, rational reciprocity, personal autonomy, and curiosity.

The Seven Fundamental Tenets of the Satanic Temple

I

One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.

II

The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.

III

One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.

IV

The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one’s own.

V

Beliefs should conform to one’s best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one’s beliefs.

VI

People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one’s best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.

VII

Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

It wasn’t until 2024 that the world understood how perfect it was to cast John Leguizamo as Luigi.

I said America is full of hatred towards Minorities with no comparison to another place. I am not wrong.

But you are wrong. The US doesn’t hate its minorities in general. The US hates the poor in specific.

• Gay billionaire
• Black billionaire
• Hispanic billionaire
• Muslim billionaire
• Female billionaire

The same goes if you replace “billionaire” with “poor”. If you are rich, you are welcome. That’s your only qualifier. If you are poor, you are trash. That is your only qualifier.

They are all problematic. My disagreement with the removal of TikTok is that it should not stop with TikTok. Meta’s apps are an absolute nightmare. Google, Xitter, Amazon, etc., they all need to be curbed when it comes to data collection.

Data brokering needs to be made illegal or VERY tightly regulated.

It is definitely covered by Anne Rice.
