Once upon a time I would have linked r/FrankLloydWrong, but alas no such community exists in the Fediverse yet

Pretty sure it’s called a pound sign, no? Maybe I’m just old

Edit: Apparently it’s also called a “hash” or “number sign”. Funnily, “hashtag” is actually not considered a correct term for it

Again, the high cost isn’t the problem, it’s that it is now higher than it was before and wages haven’t gone up to match it. Of course that’s the case outside the US too, we’re all in the same boat. All I’m saying is the low starting price point does not change the burden it puts on people’s wallets when it gets more expensive.

Well it seems people in the rest of the world don’t know how cost of living, inflation, or necessity work either.

The US is structured so you need a car unless you’re one of a lucky few in an urban area not built for cars. The nearest grocery store to me is a 20 minute drive in both directions.

The problem isn’t the raw cost of gas, it’s the relative increase in cost which raises the cost of living in step because you cannot live here without a car. It prices people out of getting to their job and going to the grocery store.

Not when you live in an area built exclusively for cars where the cost of living is structured around gas being $3/gal. I’m thankful I at least live in an area of my state that is somewhat navigable by bike. The US sucks man

Sadly it looks real, all the text in the background is legible

Yeah I mean I don’t advocate for DM spam but this is pretty clearly an april fools joke

Same here; this sounds delicious

This is def Photoshop, not AI. Look at the pixel seam/drop shadow on the turban and the feathering on the edge of the beard

This is mesmerizing - I love it!

Wtf did I just read

192.168.114.1

(I was setting up my printer)

Is this adjusted for inflation? Not that I think Trump is any less of a fucking moron if it isn’t, just curious

Welcome to the Fediverse!

I will say, just like Reddit, we have our share of insane mods, but nobody can get banned platform-wide b/c they can just join a federated instance if their instance owner kicks them out (this is both a positive and a negative; community mods are under a lot more pressure to prevent illegal stuff on a per-comm basis than on Reddit).

Modlogs are public, so you’ll never really not know why something got removed and by whom, even if you disagree with their decision.

I left Reddit when they killed 3rd-party apps, so I never got to experience the wonderful censorship of today’s Reddit experience. Having been here now a couple years, this place feels a lot more human to me, despite (or maybe due to?) it being a lot smaller. I like it here better tbh and I hope you will too. The more the merrier!

I recommend checking out [email protected] if you’re looking for active communities, since they can be a bit harder to find than on Reddit. Also, don’t forget to block the .ml instances, they’re filled with tankies (unless you want that on your feed ig lol).

Depends on the platform - some federated instances (e.g. mine, Mbin) keep a tally of a user’s total upvotes minus downvotes as an overall “reputation” score

I think it means that Trump is replacing her with someone else, not that he’s taking both positions. I was confused at first too.

From the article:

President Donald Trump says he’s replacing his embattled Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and will nominate in her place Oklahoma Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin.

The headline is just really stupidly worded.

Omg a fellow snek boi :D

Best I can do is a small white scribble over the “i”

Sounds exactly like him tbh
