40 / M / Straight / INTP-T / Kalamazoo MI USA
I am here to help build and support vibrant communities not controlled by Big Tech that help others solve problems, examine new ways of thinking and improve their quality of life.
Sorry for the delay. Suffered another job loss a few months ago and had to work my second job like crazy. A couple accounts are in collections. I flew to see family in Japan, got another job and am looking at ways to boost my income and get ahead. No one’s going to do it for you.
If I were Elon I would respond with a “Challenge Accepted” and start floating balloons with access points.
Foot stomp: OP, YOU AREN’T OBLIGATED. You might owe your creditors, but you DO NOT owe one single, solitary iota to anyone who writes news.
You are on a Reddit clone. You have your feed. Anything important will appear there.
We’re all pulling for ya.
Gab is a fork of Mastodon where conservatives flock. Yes, there are a lot of neo-Nazis, but you aren’t exposed to it for long unless you want to be.
I hope this conversation doesn’t end with me getting gunned down.
Military: Danner, then Belleville
Security: Nortiv8 (see Amazon)
Field Service: Skechers Work (no,they aren’t boots…just comfortable)
Another veteran under 40 here, also with depression. BSCS. I suffered a violent career upset / ending and lived in my car for a few months. Two years later I own my own house and have paid off the loan on said car making two thirds of what I used to.
You’re going to work your testes off but it can be done. Writing this from aforementioned car on a security guard shift as my second job.
THIS.
Seriously. Turn off corporate media and throw it in the garbage.
I will give you that. The DC area is incredibly cyclable / walkable and it’s nice, considering how scarce and expensive parking is.
That’s right. I’m not sure if anyone federates with them, but Gab runs Mastodon, which has some ActivityPub compatibility with Kbin on toots / microblogging.
Nah. It says a lot about the largely tech-aware user base, virtually all of which votes in a single direction.
Well…Chevrolet does use patriotic imagery to sell (excluding their full-size vans and the Malibu) crappy cars, thus ripping people off. Their parent company, General Motors Corporation Company also did a sleight-of-hand trick that took all kinds of money from the American taxpayer we’ll never see again. So that’s a large contribution to our eventual default on the national debt, which will lead to an eventual overthrow of the government.
I should point out (even though I converted to a Ford guy) that it was Henry Ford who was awarded the Grand Cross of the German Eagle, the highest civilian honor bestowed by the Third Reich. He was a rabid anti-Semite.
On that note, everyone who, as a result of Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter, is dumping their Teslas for Volkswagen EVs is supporting a company started by the Third Reich that used Nazi concentration camp slave labor.
It’s a cross-section of not of society but of the popular Lemmy instances’ respective user bases. You could argue all day about merits of right-wing philosophies and policies and you’d still be heckled into oblivion for this reason.
I’ll second what others have said: if you get heckled into oblivion by people who refuse to listen, go join or create another Lemmy instance and find some who will.
Welcome to the Fediverse!
I’m personally offended by this, but…
Carry a power strip and you’ll never have to worry. I learned that in the Marines.
@bjoern_tantau I’ll keep that name in mind for the next account I create. In the meantime, which would be better?
