  • And this is why I’m glad I no longer watch TV.

    (though in reality, the separation came in 1999 when we got broadband internet)

    Time for everyone with folks over 45 that still tune in and watch broadcast news to drop them stories like this and ask them if this was how the Soviet Union used to behave. Even better if you’ve got grandparents in their 60’s.

    Put that reminder into their heads. Seriously.

    It’s time to set the mental foxes into the henhouses of complacency.






  • I generaly will upvote replies or posts were the commenter is making a sensible point in an argument, (even if it politically may NOT be something I agree with) as I do come to sites like lemmy with the “old school” usenet conversation philosophy.

    If I can be a foil that another person can have ideas bounced off (esp. if they are really good ideas) I will jump in, upvote and comment.

    I will upvote when someone is showing their artwork and I see a sincere effort and openness to share - that is always nice, even if the person is starting out and the work isn’t very polished. Be it cooking, photography, music, art, carpentry… whatever… people have to start somewhere and I will never tear into someoone’s effort in a destructive way.

    I also upvote when someone like on the music comms brings a new artist whose style is something I have not heard before (and at my age, that is a rarity) and is well crafted and complex… Love that esp. so.
