it's just racism. Nobody questions the colloseum or the parthenon. Anything cool built by brown people tho must be aliens.

in my city, all bus drivers were of hero grade about 10 years ago. Today, none of them give a fuck so long as they make their time points. dafuq happun

if android, just google "where is my phone" and it will tell you where your phone is and give a button to force it to ring even if silent.

i'm totally grandpa simpson about this. "Literally" is literally a lost cause.

Fuck George Lucas, he ruined star wars. I know disney ruined star wars worse, but lucas ruined star wars first!

I have (begrudgingly) gotten used to "singular they". I accept that I am not an authority on how language is used, and this is how the language has evolved. I'd have preferred a separate singular non-gendered pronoun, but I wasn't consulted because, again, not an authority on the subject. It is fine, I will adapt (and have already done so to some degree).

HOWEVER, I still have beef with what happened to "literally" and will bring it up any time semantic shift is the subject of conversation.

I really didn't need to read that. Take your upvote, and I hope to never read such a thing again.

i made an account on piefed social, but they block nsfw communities so that's a non-starter. Is there an index of piefed instances similar to how lemmy has join-lemmy org?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (3 children)

sick of lemmy's shit but there's nowhere better to go?

I came here when the reddit api thing happened, and have since blocked .ml because I don't want to deal with their shit. Problem though, the .ml admins are the lemmy devs, so using lemmy at all supports .ml and their bullshit.

Where else is there? Hive is a crypto scam, and every other option I've seen suggested isn't like reddit or lemmy. I guess there's piefed, but I don't understand how that isn't just lemmy but worse/different (if someone can explain it to me please do).

I'm in this picture and I don't like it.

 

Essentially, title. Is it ok to ask for recommendations here? Looking to buy a scooter, possibly an ebike, and I don't want to accidentally buy a piece of crap.

Previously, I owned a vsett8, which became inoperable and unfixable the first time it was rained on (I don't have it anymore). Before that, a turbowheel lightning, which I loved until it was stolen.

Now though, I'm on a tight budget and everything is more expensive than ever.

Are there reputable 'buyers guides' that this community can recommend? Or maybe you've had good experience with a model/brand/seller?

EDIT: ok, i've got a list to check out. Thank you everyone. Y'all probably won't hear from me again until I've done the research and made a decision. I'll probably make a new post later on detailing what I've found and how I made my decision. Might be a while tho.
