I understand the confusion now, good for you! Be grateful you’re not here! I think the concept is insane too and I don’t accept it for what it is, but that doesn’t change what adults have to do. Unless you’re the do-what-you-want gov-dodging tax-evasion-suggesting riot-in-the-street kind of player. Just because someone is not happy with the systems in place does not mean they cannot take actions within it in a calm manner.

My last job didn’t test, the one prior didn’t, and my current one doesn’t. Job stability is as stable as being able to get hired, and I pay for health insurance like everyone else. My Jordan’s are like yours, so neither of us wear leather.

Not all jobs drug test in the USA, if you get onboarded for a job that does eventually test, refuse, and if they have an issue with it, decide if it’s worth your time to fight them over it or walk away and start the slow job hunt grind again. You don’t have to work for a company that tests, that is ultimately a choice you make. A common issue however with finding jobs that don’t drug test is that you’re going to be footing your bills for all standard healthcare plan costs and such. No biggie if you value your urine privacy!

This is the first era in humanity’s existence where screaming into the vast abyss will get you a few digital screams of reassurance echoed back at you, sometimes hundreds. Historically there is no precedence for this, nor evolutionarily, and people are not developed catered to this modern existence. It is truly wonderful to get to exist in this moment in human history where not only can we shoot satellites into space but we can also instant message poo emojis to someone on the other side of the planet, and get their response poo emojis instantly, without having to wait for it to be carried on boats, on the backs of horseback postmen and on pidgeons.

Its not just me right? Every driver in that video was doing something stupid and careless? Filmer, truck driver, car that said fuck it and kept driving after collision, entrance/exit lane cars that were fluttering brakes or driving off the white lines? This can’t be what highways in Texas are like all the time.

Test comment, please ignore

The toxic behaviour found in a lot of subreddits. Its an inevitable thing that it brews in communities or instances, but it’d be nice if Lemmy held itself above repeating the patterns of the lowest common denominedditor.

Happy four of month

For self-hosted hobby instances, expenses are likely all out of pocket. Instances amassing a large amount of users could potentially be driven to aggressive financially-driven changes of how their instance works, to maximize exposure to ad posts or sponsored pinned posts, for example. Donation-centric contribution helps alleviate that kind of seeping financial platform degradation.

I generally stick to Subscribed sorted by Top Hour, Top 6 Hours, Top 12 Hours, then do the same for All. I don’t get much out of sorting by Hot since I’m usually more interested to read fresh posts with less active engagement.

Driving slow, leaving early and arriving early. I usually drive a bit below the speed limit, and always follow speed limit signs. It keeps people safe, even if their own impatience makes them tailgate eachother 10 cars in a row behind me. Some people like to be in a hurry when they drive and don’t know how to relax and drive calmly, I’ve never been sure why.

Developers have been kicking into overdrive to smooth things out. Web UIs are improving in stability under load, and apps like Wefwef are performing great. Each day people participate, donate, bug report, and audit code, is another day that Lemmy improves its rigidity.

Gex.

Not until the tendency for the mainstream to gravitate to centralization is changed. Lemmy will need exponential growth to become large enough in userbase to be a mainstream consideration to use the federated replacement.
