I’m sure if given the chance Trump would make police and fire coverage only available to people who voted for him…

People still talk about Reagan like he was some kind of god-king. He never had the kind of rabid violent followers like Trump does but that’s the closest one I know of

You’re really describing a small but very vocal portion of people with kids. I don’t think most parents are that concerned about it.

The people who you’re describing only had kids because they grew up being taught that that’s what they were supposed to do wether they actually wanted kids or not. This very specific group get upset that child free people are somehow going against the plan by not bending over backwards to accommodate everyone who did have kids.

They’re also constantly angered further when they see child free adults having a fun relaxing time while they’re stuck wrangling their own ill mannered progeny.

They certainly are very petty, angry, frustrated people but they definitely don’t represent everyone who has kids lol

I assumed OP was asking about hobbies that can’t be done the old way anymore because everything has been converted to a newer way that makes it easier but not as much fun anymore. Like in the example I posted earlier it’s now impossible to buy a fully handmade high quality guitar anymore unless I want learn how to build it myself from scratch or pay thousands of dollars for a high end custom guitar because almost all affordable guitars are built on assembly lines now

When I was a kid me and my friends who lived on my street would always trade or borrow our NES and SNES cartridges

I used to go out to bars with my friends and play darts in college and it was always fun to just play and even make up your own rules sometimes! That makes me kind of sad that something as simple as throwing pointy sticks at a board had to be computerized… I could see the benefit if you were playing in a pro tournament or something, but just trying to enjoy a game of darts with your buddies definitely doesn’t need all of that

It hasn’t for me really because most of my hobbies are still done more or less the way they always have been lol I cross stitch and build models and the whole point of those is that they’re handmade. I collect vinyl records which hasn’t really changed much except that they’re more expensive now. I play guitar which technology has mostly helped more than hinder… The only thing I can think of is that a lot of the modern assembly line cheap guitars aren’t really built all that well anymore, especially considering the price you pay for them, but even that has gotten a lot better in the last decade

The person in the article kind of does this a little bit but just seems to give up after the third or fourth non answer

we’re leading the internet

I don’t know who posted those videos

probably “the parents”

The rules are very clear

It’s kind of a grey area

I swear he manages to talk for hours and never actually say anything…

I suspect a lot of people on here don’t like the idea of monetizing Lemmy since that kind of defeats the whole purpose of Lemmy. It sounds more like something people would do on Reddit or Instagram

So… Basically turning your Lemmy account into a half-assed Patreon then? Pass.

What’s wrong with it?

I think my favorite one I’ve seen recently was for someone on Instagram. It honestly doesn’t seem like they really do anything but upload selfies so I was surprised to see they had merch…

When I went to the page it was full of $60 tshirts and $120 hoodies that just had a small monogrammed logo that was basically just their initials lol it was done in the same exact color as the shirt so it was basically invisible unless someone’s getting VERY up close and personal with you lol

The video was captured and shared on social media, and showed an intoxicated Rosing spouting racial slurs more than 200 times in 10 minutes.

Jesus Christ… If it wasn’t so disgustingly awful that would almost be impressive… That’s a slur at least every 3 seconds!

How rotten does ones brain have to be to summon up that much hatred?

I have pointy teeth and slicey teeth specifically meant for eating meat. Eating any amount of meat apparently will give me type 2 diabetes immediately.

So the point of this article is that god DOES exist, and he’s a sadistic prick?

Is that really news at this point though?

It’s a reference from the movie Friday lol

Ok, ok, adding more cereal after you’ve finished the initial cereal is permitted. I’m not a monster

CEREAL FIRST, THEN MILK!!! COLD MILK! I DON’T CARE HOW YOUR MOM USED TO FIX IT, THIS IS THE ONLY CORRECT WAY!!!

I’ve had this conversation with the lady at the really good deli down the road from me! When I occasionally have a rare chance to go in there she says “we never see you anymore!” And I have to always remind her they only serve lunch from 11am to 3pm, my work starts at 11 and my lunch break is at 330 lol
