I thought Hulk Hogan was dead…

Ok…hear me out. We all join ICE, but then we BARELY do our jobs. And we agree to do whatever they say. Then we don’t do it. We clog up the system from the inside with insubordination. But we do it in a way that makes them think we’re trying to follow orders, and are just really really stupid.

“Ok Johnson, shoot the brown guy!”

shoots 15 feet above the brown guy into a brick wall behind him

“YEAH!!! I DID IT!!!”

“NO YOU DIDN’T!!! HE’S GETTING AWAY!!!”

“DON’T YELL AT ME MISTER MAN!!! DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM??? I’M ICE!!!”

“We’re all ICE…and he got away!”

“Is that good?”

“NO THAT’S NOT GOOD!!!”

“Did he win the race?”

“What race???”

“Uhhhhh…Formula 1?”

“What?”

“Vroom vroom!!!”

“What is wrong with you???”

“My father used to punish me severely.”

We just gotta act like idiots who mean well in their racist system, but keep screwing up.

But here’s the main thing…we DON’T kill people. Even if they fire us in 2 weeks, we will have clogged up their little system, drained their budget, and made the whole thing a mess.

What this whole thing has taught me is that there is a market among billionaires for someone to peddle enslaved kids.

Now epstein is gone, and has been for years, but that demand doesn’t just die. I don’t have proof, but there is zero doubt in my mind that epstein is not a one and done. There’s either another epstein, or more likely a dozen smaller epsteins out there.

There’s a part of me that thinks all these ICE abducting kids is being done at trumps order, specifically as a means to replace epstein.

I mixed up loops and threats (Meta)

Unclear if typo, or intentional insult. Either way, leave it that way.

They’re still a little wobbly but they’re good enough.

This is what drunk dads say about their 1 year old son who’s just learning to walk.

I only have one laptop so my hobbies have to coexist on it.

And yet I see no pornhub sticker…

takes two off the shelf, and switches the discs

No I won’t tell you which two.

It’s the contact point to connect your butthole cleaner to. You pop a brush head into that, then pop the brush into your butthole, and then spin it.

Because then 97% of the public wouldn’t buy it.

auto closing/suspending stale communities stale could be defined as unanswered mod reports, no mod activity (no post, comment, login in x time period), no posts

No. I’ve seen several times people ask the admins if they could take over a community. And it happened. Thus reviving dead communities.

staggered new account permissions: wait 24h before commenting, wait 7 days before posting.

Why?

allow community users to flag posts or comments as NSFW.

This one I like.

Voting changes from up, down to up, down or NSFW.

That’s not how it should be done though. The same menu that you pull out that lets you report things to a mod, instead of reporting to mod, it should let you report as NSFW. If a mod approves the request, it then becomes labeled as NSFW.

I’m also a big tech guy

Well you’ll be happy to know that we don’t body shame here.

We will however relentlessly mock you if you use Windows 11.

I signed up for friendica, after 2 decades of having never used facebook.

It’s blank, and I don’t know what I’m supposed to do.

I can’t comment on what the facebook experience is, but I imagine they don’t just dump you onto a blank white page, with zero explaination.

Note that I am NOT defending or endorsing facebook. I’m just saying the decentralized services have work to do before they can fully be reccomended.

I also recently signed up for pixelfed. It took 3 days to login the first time. And I’m still not sure what the point of collections is. But I did upload 4 pictures.

I agree, Go Guards!

Orrrrr…pick a non-active community. Or both. And start posting in your local community. By that, I mean I live in Cleveland. There are 3 Cleveland communities. All dead. I’m the only one posting in one. I still get replies and upvotes. So people are there. They just all lurk until I post.

Do that. And post in a dead community. And post in an active community. We need activity basically everywhere besides tech/politics/news.

I agree with everything that you’ve said. I would also add:

Find your nearest non-political non-tech hobby community and start posting things people actually want to see

Because if we’re going to cast the same net reddit does, people with a more varied set of interests need to come here. Can’t be all linux, politics, and news. We’re going to need people who like baking. We’re going to need sports fans. We’re going to need music.

I could type new communities we need to be active all day. Humans are surprisingly a diverse set of creatures. You have one set of interests, I have another. Different set of interests. And both are totally valid.

The thing people here don’t seem to grasp is that OTHER interests and OTHER people using the fediverse isn’t a bad thing. If a bunch of boomers come here, and make their own communities to talk about Taylor Swift, and whatever else they talk about on facebook. That’s good that it would be here! Not bad!

They could talk about gardening, and model trains, and whatever else. It wouldn’t appeal to you, and thats ok.

What if the person before the pooper flushed, and then the pooper got 0% in the bowl.

Maybe it was written by him!!! Plot twist!!!

Ha ha ha. Did they really do another commercial with the same concept, but in court?

I believe you. I just never saw it. That’s wild though…

…yeah. Thats what I said.

When you did this, and your doorbell rang, was it a group of penguins, or japanese businessmen that said “Wii would like to play”?
