The bible … or the cartoon? either way, the answer is the same anyway … they’re both made up.

Reposting is like Einstein’s ideas and perspectives of time … it’s all relative.
When you see a meme for the first time, it’s not a repost, it’s something entirely new to you … but to someone who saw the content a long time ago, they may have seen it a hundred times.
As soon as you see it, others will come after you to see it for the first time … to them it is new … to you, you just saw it a second time, a third time, a hundred times, it is now a repost
Just like time in the universe … time moves at a certain rate here but between you and me, we both see it at slightly very tiny differences we would never notice … but jump to a different planet, nearer or further from a star, a neutron star or a black hole and time is a completely different thing for everyone
Reposting is the internet equivalent of relativity
Oh neat, I think I’ll go over to this magAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZZZINNNNNNNNNNNE!!!
It’s always the little details that make these images impressive … anyone can just cut and paste an object into an image and it doesn’t look real
But add in details like lighting, shadows, smoke, mist, water, reflections … and you make all those shadows and reflections plausible and at the appropriate angles … very subtle additions and it makes it very convincing.
It would be more efficient if we shrunk the power of the wealthiest individuals and made everyone fall under a wealthy limit
Why should one person own and control so much wealth when they will never realistically be able to enjoy all of that wealth during their lifetime? Especially if that one person hoarding all that wealth they’ll never use is producing, creating and maintaining so much pollution for one individual.
Willy Wonka looking straight into your eyes: … yes … EVERYTHING
Does this mean that in ten years we’re going to have a pandemic again?
What is going on here? … is this a time warp? … is this a new thing? … is this an old thing? … is this a thing? … did I just find a time machine?
One important key lesson that everyone misses is funding … we have to normalize paying a bit of money through donations or subscriptions to those people that maintain instances and those people who maintain, update and build the software … if we all just keep tell ourselves that we all just keep our heads down, lock the door and don’t bother to pay anyone to keep the door locked … the same problems of the past will always emerge … Owners, developers, programmers, instance maintainers just running out of money and enthusiasm because they have the shoulder the financial costs while everyone ignores them and takes everything for granted.
If we all just keep expecting volunteers to keep everything running for us for free … eventually we will run out of willing volunteers as the community grows and the costs add up over time as instances grow more popular
SUPPORT YOUR INSTANCE … whatever platform it is and whatever amount of money you can give … even if it means we just give a dollar a day, across hundreds or thousands of user, it will protect your instance owner, and ensure that the people running your instance never run into a situation where they have to decide on either ending their work … or selling everything they have to make a bit of money back.
Does Dawson have any lemmy, kbin, mastodon connections we can link to?
I want to connect with his account without reddit and give through patreon or any fundraising he is doing … I dumped reddit but I had been using sync for years and I paid for the lifetime subscription just before going off … after what he did for us for years, I’m more than willing to give funding to him for his work
I once added a bottle of cherry Pepsi to my crock pot when making pulled pork
was that on purpose or by accident?
I think part of it is to continue that interest in the old site … some of these posts are really suspicious in the way they keep wanting to drive people back to interact with the old site in one way or another - malicious or not, it’s still driving traffic there
I gave up cold turkey … I dumped the site, the app, all my accounts (I had four) and just stopped looking into the site or doing anything there
The best thing to do with social media sites you don’t like is to just stop interacting with them … completely.
I’m active now on kbin and lemmy … I’ll keep all my activity on these media sites from now on … I’m not wasting my energy on the old dumpster fire.

Major corporations and global companies no longer really care about nation states or nationalities any more. All they care about is making money and they don’t follow any ethics when it comes to that.
If you push them in one way or another … they just shift responsibility, change a name, change a direction, change a shell company and move stuff around, tell everyone they’ve changed and continue with business as usual in whatever way they please.
They can circumvent any national law for and from one country to another … they can do one thing in one country that can’t be done in another and vice versa and if they get stuck, they just call up international law litigate and get business done anyway.
It’s getting to the point where nations no longer matter much any more … it’s the corporations that have all the power and control.
