As an American (not that it’s particularly unique from Europe) living in a city feels much better because I’m not completely tied to my car. Living in suburbs and rural areas makes it far less tenable to walk or bike anywhere. Cities are the only place with any sort of public transportation or even pedestrian infrastructure that is remotely walker-friendly. Walking is not only more physically healthy it also makes me feel better emotionally
is it because the USA is leaning with its full weight into fascism?
Not sure what your area is, but 50501 has become an ID for basically all the protests I’ve heard about. They’re ongoing. There’s another big one on Saturday (April 5th).
Consider it a joke if you want, but people are showing up and protesting because they don’t know what else to do.
“When you do things right, people won’t be sure you’ve done anything at all.”
That’s one of my favorite portraits of God. Humility and leading by example all in one.
“Why are there no” should be “why aren’t news outlets covering the”
Search for the hashtag #50501 on any social media platform. Check c/50501.
The protests are happening. News media just wants to suck Trump’s dick so they can “survive” the fascist takeover so they’re not covering them. Same reason Reddit is censoring criticism of Musk (source)
I’m convinced these shitty shitty stalls are the reason so many Americans fear the idea of trans people, or people who do not appear to be cis, using the bathroom.
Social media is not just a tool; every single major social network has an algorithm with an agenda
Tools for connecting people cannot make editorial decisions. Tools for connecting people don’t try to manipulate those people into thinking certain ways.
If social networks were purely tools for connecting people who want to communicate, then we’d be having a different conversation.
If you ask me, we should recategorize Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, Twitter, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, etc from “Social Networks” to “Content Distributors” because that’s what they are. They take content from the users and advertisers and prioritize what they want to promote in front of the users.
Signal, Mastodon, Lemmy, Pixelfed, etc don’t have algorithms with agendas so their purpose is purely social networking. They are the actual social networks.

I definitely sometimes have the audio issue and it’s annoying as hell. I don’t have a solution though I’m sorry
Yes. The media is suppressing them. See c/50501

Roasted garlic. Everytime I go to Mod pizza I cannot forget the roasted garlic. And yes, I always get it with pineapple
I mean idk who you are. Fer all I know yer a granpappy in Freeport, Illinois who doesn’t want young’ns who eat avocado toast to whine about not being able to afford insulin shots, or something
This is why poor americans die from treatable disease
I totally get this since I’ve definitely done it before. For anyone who might like to know a strategy that has worked for a fellow tommorrow-me assassin, if you want to do something tomorrow then actually figure out the time of day you’re going to do it, given how long it will take you to do it. The earlier in the day the better. Then keep that time in mind when you’re going to sleep so that you wake up with that plan in mind.
This might not work for everyone obviously but it has proven pretty reliable for me
