I grew up on this man's epic fail toy reviews and I am scared it has been 13 years since they were last uploaded. I was 15.
Wholesome ending - they got vaccinated so the mother fell out and doesn't see them as her kids anymore and the kids moved out with their much cooler and less antivax father and lived happily ever after.
These people care more about an unborn baby than they do about the baby after it's born. Actually sad.
If every one of these anti-abortion assholes want to start taking the babies of families who cannot raise them then it wouldn't be seen as just a disgustingly hypocritical movement. That is not the case. If you want to start forcing women to have babies they can't care for but you don't want to take care of the consequences of that, you are the problem.
Nobodies out here delivering fully sized aborted babies for shits and giggles. Pregnancies are painful and traumatic enough.
Company: You need to have everything ready before the start of your shift.
Me: Do I get paid for coming in early?
Company: No
Me: Okay, if I'm starting before my shift time then I am going home early to make up for the lost time.
Company: If you leave 1 minute early we have to deduct an hour from your wages
Me: leaves
Company: nobody wants to work anymore.
Companies have normalised wage theft but call it what it is. It's theft.
My contribution to your freshly made community as mod/owner of Lemmy Shitpost and Mildly Infuriating Communities. Hopefully I will not be a feature of this community... but who knows lol. This is the first ban I've ever received and it was for a pretty tame comment as far as comments go.
I was not the only one. This guy was on a power trip fr Which matters little to me now, my old reddit account is gone and done after the apicalypse

People were rightly calling out the fact that the subreddit only had the 48 hour blackout. They seemed really offended by SomeOrdinaryGamers insult of reddit mods... oh well? I discord mod, I don't exist purely on discord I have a life outside that being called out for being a discord mod is just funny banter. Get a thick skin lol
but the reaction was truly magnificent and I want to share it Completely missing the point and deliberately missing the point. Of which "Doing a 48 hour blackout and saying that gives an end time/date to the blackout meaning it really doesn't fucking matter to big-corpo reddit."
Which is correct because u/spez proved that. Anyway Enjoy the meltdown: https://imgur.com/a/xobVK6T
I managed to catch the user that was posting before they banned them from the subreddit. Dude is very obviously terminally online... So embarassing.
Anyway, I'm not going to do what that subreddit admin did. That was an utter abuse of power. Also smile crappy_pirate. You're on lemmy! Welcome.
Update I got banned 🤣
It's now 2023, and I fully embrace my identity! To those who are still finding themselves, no matter how young/old you are; people are more complex than words can define; asexuality is a spectrum so even if you don't find a label. That doesn't matter.
Even if the answer isn't with you right now, you may find the answer come to you later. You know your sexuality better than anybody else.
You are worthy of love! Much appreciation for all aces.
Natural, healthy, positive growth! Not growth for growths sake
It's the best and worst thing to happen to the internet.
Best because - Twitter is a toxic site, with toxic people and a system that encourages ragebaiting means it breeds it.
Worst because - These negative people need somewhere to go... And it will only force them onto alternatives and fester in new places. Potentially here.
I think it's a lot more because the internet was a niche. It's something your parents/family or weird creepy uncle wasn't on. All these old memes still feel "untouched" by facebook and it feels like an in-joke. In other words memes felt more special.
4chan was onto something, once memes became mainstream they died... a little hyperbolic but they do lose their fun factor being more popular now.

It's not a shitpost, but I'll allow it Here is my shitpost as tribute.
That's why I'm on Lemmy.World. I made a new account as soon as I found out they were removing posts from people for orientalism. It's great the modlog is so transparent. The greatest thing about having instances run by different people unassociated with each other is you can just do that... go to a different instance where things are much more aligned to you morally.
You have less to worry about here than you do on a place like say Reddit where they can do it pretty discretely and you'd be none the wiser until it happened to you.
In fairness, I have just been doing this when mildly infuriating was born (5 days ago) and I want to ensure I am doing enough in terms of respecting the original poster. It is a good suggestion though.
I guess a template of "Repost from [username] on [insert website]" would do fine." Good comment!
Whilst Lemmy is growing and trying to compete in content against the goliath that is reddit it needs to be reposted so to speak. I'm not about taking original or potentially original posts and claiming them as my own so it's good practice to source the location of the original.
We are competing with a platform that has existed since 2005, it's no easy task. You may find posts that are original posts. Just again best practice. Source the original.
Of course they aren't going back. We saw how arrogant spez was. There was no doubt in my mind he is just going to rely on the fact that most people are rarely committed enough to do anything.
My expectation... Some will stay with the fediverse. Others will see the blackout as a "we did everything we could" and then go back, business as usual.
I for sure will not be back. I like RIF and it is the only way I browse. With RIF gone so too am I.
