Truck to avoiding that is to never get gold. Took me 10 years to never get gold once. I'm good at what I don't do.

Hey at least they're doing it across the board for all us plebs, that way it's fair and can affect everything.

I can't afford a fancy lift. Sure as hell wouldn't be going around parking it places though.

You can't make a shot without breaking an omelet

First thing I did when I got chat got was use it as a search engine, it's not perfect, but google should wake up, when something is better at its own game accidentally, imagine what's possible if they don't fix their algorithm

Little late to the game on this one but I did finally get my words to reflect how and why I feel I do about this situation, I commented it recently on another post but I'm gonna drop it here again as I hope it can add to this discussion.

I quit when rif went down. I've never used an official app, desktop site, mobile site etc. Rif was Reddit to me for 10 years. Maybe leaving as a collective will make some difference, maybe not, but I'm going to start being more firm on how much I'll let companies try to push me around expecting me to just take it. They built it on our backs, then just took it away so a literal select few can cash in, when they are already filthy rich and had other options.

I've been explaining it to others as if you broke your phone. Now it's frustrating getting used to a new phone, but it has lots of new features you never even thought of that make up for the inconveniences. Sure I could go back to my old phone, it's comfortable to use, but the screen is broken and it cuts me now and again, and over time it'll cut me more often. I'd rather get used to the new phone.

This past year I've dealt with food going up, gas, utilities, rent, hell cigarettes and even beer, my fishing license went up. Every single nook and cranny they can pull a cent from you they will.
I'm done choosing to let them. If they want my data, my attention, my content, they can pull it from my cold dead hands damnit.

Ok weird ass Braveheart speech over and out.

After the whole Brock turner the rapist crusade (deserved) I've been sitting here scratching my head why spez wasn't named and shamed with his real name by the same group.

Even if you don't have shareholders yet, gotta brown nose before hand to impress them.

Made for a good laugh!

You the real deal?

I've been being a bit more lax with what I'd ask compared to Reddit and what others have been asking too, I can't exactly google especially kbin questions and people have been helpful, and I've tried to be helpful back where I can.
Unless I hear otherwise I'm going to try to engage way more on here than I'm used to, adds content and starts conversations. I may make a cheese ball or bad joke here and there, maybe get an answer wrong but hey you miss all the omelettes you don't swing at.

He spammed me with the same comment this morning. He got the same response as here.

I wonder what the actual engagement is for those FB users, I only have a few friends post on there. Majority use it for marketplace and messenger, only one of those get ads. I'm sure many signed up and don't use it in third world countries where internet isn't consistent. I've never seen a breakdown of meta users and I'm sure there's a good reason for them not wanting to share that.

That's a good way of putting it. It's really refreshing for people to act polite and give benefit of the doubt. I know that the honeymoon period won't last forever. But when the dust settles I hope it stays a happier place than Reddit.

Solid point. One thing that these companies will realize quickly if they plan to move from ad based to subscription services is that a lot of them won't make it. Especially when the price of everything is so high. It no feasible for people to sub to 8 streaming services between film and music, add on a VPN, the odd Patreon, lots of people with ring and other camera and security subscriptions. I get that people will shuffle between services, but that might not be enough, and the more they go for the customers throat, the more likely people will realize it's a want and nowhere near a need.

Thanks!

I asked if there was a way to change the name of a magazine and was told that wasn't an option. So I'd assume deleting them isn't possible either? Not sure about your actual account, I haven't seen any options for that either. (Sorry my answer isn't more helpful, I'm also curious so figured this way I can keep tabs on the replies too)

First step is admitting you have a problem...

I agree with you. Also an observation (not positive or negative in any way) a lot of the younger people I see under 20 persay are seemingly very quiet and reserved, that might be just a social thing and they are much more outgoing in other situations. I've heard that drinking alcohol is also much lower, so if you have quite a few people that don't feel comfortable dancing, are more used to being social online, and drink less then I would assume that dancing might be a little more rare. I think op might just have been in a bit of a bubble growing up where culturally it's was more open to dancing.
