Do that same thing to Abby’s character and you’ll get her live action actress.

I feel like bluesky is just an attempt by a lot of institutional powers that lost a platform when Elon took over Twitter to make what essentially is a clone of Twitter circa 2018.

What a lot of people forget is that, even before Elon, Twitter had become super toxic. It was basically some pseduo-progressive echo chamber dominated by lazy journalists, virtue signaling politicians, and toxic hot takes divorced from reality. The moderation system was just selectively enforced based on whatever Twitter’s SF HQ thought was relevant that day.

I like the idea of anyone being able to spin up their own server and have a space for discourse. While it can be dangerous, I’d strongly argue that having a centralized private organization deciding what is/isn’t acceptable is a lot more so.

In my experience, a particularly drunk man at a sports bar.

I mean you’re not wrong. I’ve seen multiple articles stating that a blue sky version of tweet is a skeet. It’s why I’ve written the entire platform off.

So do you guys not know what skeet means or…

The worst part about Lemmy is the tankies.

Honestly if they made a normal Tesla pickup truck and then a few limited edition cyber trucks for some massive amount of money I think it would have worked out really well.

Like imagine if the average person couldn’t buy a cyber truck but they gave Keanu Reeves one as a Cyberpunk 2077 tie in. The Internet would go absolutely insane.

Capitalist is a nebulous term. While I guess you could use it to describe freelance journalists pushing out low effort schlock because they get paid on quantity and rent is due, I think that’s kinda ridiculous.

I think the term “Capitalist” would apply to employees determining how to profit off changing consumer interests.

I mean it probably also had to do with the role each nation played in the war.

There’s a universe where Batman was basically the punisher and goes around killing people.

The Grim Knight kills all the corrupt cops, mob bosses and villains. He also blows up blackgate and Arkham. Gotham ends up super safe, but somehow more of a dystopia than regular Gotham. Everyone lives in fear, and Batman has a 1984 setup where he spies in everyone and uses Waynetech to kill people.

Commissioner Gordon ends up arresting him with the help of info given to him by Alfred.

Would it make sense for someone to kill the Joker? Yes. However Batman is, in addition to being an anally retentive genius perfectionist, somewhat emotionally unstable. Dude isn’t the type of person who’d be able to kill the Joker and call it a day.

That being said I’m pretty sure the in universe reason right now is that killing the joker releases a gas that turns whoever is near it into another joker. If Batman killed the Joker, the gas would cause him to turn into a villain who can singlehandedly kill every other hero on earth. He would then continue to pull bullshit out of his ass until he gains the powers of Doctor Manhattan and almost destroys all of existence.

Okay so if you’re actually not lying, then opt out of your insurance plan and buy a delta dental plan via their exchange or the website. It’s quite literally half the cost and comes with free preventative services.

You know I’m starting to realize why so many people in this thread have dental issues.

Go to the dentist, even if your teeth are currently fine.

I’m not saying that issue doesn’t exist, I’m saying your implication that the rise in men who have never been in relationships is a good thing is ridiculous.

First, women are in a relationship at a much higher percentage in younger age groups. The idea that women love to be in relationships but men don’t is straight up sexism on your part.

There are also huge reports of loneliness and isolation among men. There are reports of a significant minority of men being bitter about not being in relationships or having sex. It’s clearly a big deal.

You are arguing in bad faith in an attempt to dismiss a real issue men face.

Okay, first you need a civics lessons. Capitalism isn’t a governmental system, it’s an economic system.

This economic system is widely used across the world. This includes most of Europe. Acting like this is just an invitable part of capitalism ignores the fact that the government can pass laws to create a social safety net.

They did. People living at or slightly above the poverty line have dental coverage through Medicaid. People with income above that threshold and no not have dental offered by their job have access to subsidies through the ACA.

Are there people who can’t afford dental? Sure. America is a massive country. However acting like it’s in any way common is insane.

Yes. However, the vast majority of dental issues can be solved by regular dentist appointments.

In addition, I’m pretty sure people are straight up making up stuff. Spending $700 before you break even on dental insurance is straight up fiction.

I openly question how many people in their 30s (or late 20s) are in this thread. A lot of this narrative simply isn’t true for most people that age.

Also OPs parents were boomers who had children in their 30s they were most likely more affluent than average boomers

The meme said that their parents in their thirties were buying homes, and they can’t even afford dental.

The majority of millennials have bought homes.

More importantly, the overwhelming people in the US can afford dental.

You guys make up scenarios to push BS narratives. Then spam the word “capitalism” ignoring the fact that the majority of the world runs under capitalism.

Have you read any of the top comment threads? People are 100 percent taking this at face value.

Okay, the fact that Lemmy (which owes it’s popularity to the fact that reddit killed third party apps) thinks this is ridiculous.

I can’t wait for Lemmy apps to come out that let me ban keywords. I swear you people invent scenarios to rage over.

The above meme:

My parents in their thirties: Let’s buy this house.

Me in my thirties: I can’t afford teeth.

As I said, that is BS.
