I thought this was the university and REALLY thought tRump was going full fascist!

Gotta cover their faces like a bunch cowards. Fucking pathetic!

Until the Epstein post, I had the same question. Now, not so much.

Same. For the longest time I was made to believe that crying in front of people was weak. Especially, when those tears came from entertainment. Then I watched Schindler’s List and bawled like a fucking baby at the end when…

It fundamentally changed who I was and what I was willing to show emotion for, especially empathy. I found that any movie based on actual events, that ended tragically, would illicit a similar response.

It was only after years of therapy and the support of wonderful people in my life that I learned to feel that deeply for any media with resonating characters. Elon said empathy is a human weakness, but he’s never been so wrong. It’s the only thing that binds us together.

They’re not anti-higher education for all, just for liberals and those who are not part of the wealthy class. That’s why they jacked the price up around the 1980s. Too many poors were going to school, competing with rich kids for high paying jobs, and cementing class-consciousness pushing for social change. They can’t have that!

Raising the cost of tuition meant fewer families were able to attend college without financial aid, which has also been set up to be a lasting financial burden for us plebs. Couple that with better employment opportunities being largely reliant on the level of education obtained, and you have a system designed by the rich, for the rich, to ensure they’re the only educated group, able to ascend to the upper echelons of power.

Also, they want smart people with college degrees (and sociopathic tendencies) to work for them and come up with new ways to manipulate/kill people! It’s why so many Nazis were incorporated into US projects after WWII, rather than being hanged for the crimes they helped facilitate against humanity.

Edit: I forgot to include the racism part of the price hike, specifically aimed to prevent class mobility for people of color. Racism is just the worst!

Velocipastor and Kung Pow: Enter the Fist!

Hopefully, we don’t hear about some intelligence agent with a new book coming out in the future regarding how tRump was a known asset for the Kremlin and how he was caught red-handed giving info to Putin in some false-flag operation.

Thank you for the information! I just made a new account on feddit.online and will try out Thunder. What other instances work well with Voyager, if you know?

Someone posted it down below. I just hadn’t seen that comment, yet. Thank you for providing a link!

There is already one or you’re expecting one soon?

I really like Voyager for Android Lemmy browsing. I’ve heard others echo the app reference. I was unaware that the apps play a part in the features offered to Lemmy users, in regards to the instances someone uses. If I moved to an instance of piefed, will I still be able to use Voyager? If so, what piefed features may I miss out on?

Apologies if the answers to these questions exceed the info you were providing.

Hey! Fuck yeah, Octoprint! I’m a Patreon supporter and love the development. That shit about plugin manipulation was the catalyst to my contribution and highly recommend that platform for all new 3D printing enthusiasts!

There are a couple Lemmy meta posts with discussions on available options with similar modding styles to lemm.ee. Some of the more recommended I’ve seen is piefed, lemmy.zip, and dbzer0.

::shudders:: hexbear…yikes!

I’ll keep an eye out for the new community!

I think both of those are perfect suggestions. Being a huge nerd with a strong moral compass, zip seemed to be one of the more similar to lemm.ee. I also heard piefed has some good policies and features!!

Thanks for the links!

You’re awesome. That sounds like a great project. What are you thinking of moving to for an instance so I can look for the community?

This instance will live on. Definitely understand the burnout and hope @sunaurus@lemm.ee and the other volunteers here stick around.

I’m sorry to hear about your health issues. I don’t know shit about dick, but if there’s some way a 10 yr sysadmin could do to help out, please let me help! I’m a big hoarder of data and don’t believe information should be gatekept or lost if it can be saved.

For posterity’s sake, please don’t abandon hope in keeping your labor of love alive!

Here here. This was a special place and I’m glad it existed and I was part of it, too. I wish the admin(s) nothing but the best and hope they stay on Lemmy as one of us reg. users!
