Women learn to pee on public toilets without sitting on them as kids. Just ask any woman for tips on how to achieve this.
You can use side walls to also brace yourself up.
There are techniques for every situation.

Yeah you can’t. So you are going to have to use something else. I found that duck duck go allows you to turn AI off.
I use it now. On Firefox.

Is it bot accounts or just people posting things they thought were funny. ?
A few ways to identify bot accounts.
High activity in new accounts.
For instance. 2 day old account with 10 posts in mostly similar communities like News, world News, politics, u.s politics. Etc. especially when posting the same articles in these different places.
Activity occuring during 24hr cycles. With no 8-10 hr breaks. (Cause humans sleep).
Activity in one or two specific communities only.
Abrupt changes in community activity. For instance the user has been posting exclusively in political communities for a few months than switches to humor community and completely stops participating in the old one.
This means the bot has been reprogrammed.
Now people get bored of communities or get banned. So they move on to others. But I’m talking about a history of exclusive posting.
I’m convinced there are multiple accounts promoting AI slop on Lemmy that’s started recently.
AI slop usually gets 50 downvotes pretty fast. But I’m seeing aI slop with 50 + upvotes after only being up for 2 hours. Meaning bot accounts are posting and upvoting.
This is , imo, intended to normalize AI slop. And stop the stigma and hate that it rightfully deserves.
It’s just a few accounts posting AI.slop a few times a day or one a day but consistent. That’s not how humans behave.
- Comment on How are you going to never forget 9/11 this year? What are you never forgetful for? 6 days ago:
I never believed in any of the conspiracy theories around this.
But now with everything out about how much Israel controls everything in the U.S.
It’s made me reconsider this event as an IDF false flag operation.
Im not saying I believe it fully. I’m saying I’m now considering it a possibility.
As a regular citizen, I just don’t think I have access to, nor an expert understanding of the evidence to be able to make any solid conclusions.
I’m just saying it does follow their pattern of behavior. And it sure did benefit them immensely.

They ignore such things all the time.
There have been many instances here of people voting to pass a bill and then the governor just vetoes it.
I think we need to change things so that votes outrank what any politicians want.
- Comment on Are they crazy? We don't have money for anything... 6 days ago:
Yeah there is definitely an issue there. Many don’t seem to realize times have changed.
“I worked part time during the summer and put myself through college. These newer generations just want everything handed to them”.
No realizing tuition is 30k-50k a year.
“I was able to buy a house at 25, working as a clerk at a feed store”?
Not realizing that working full time for minimum wage isn’t even enough to afford an apartment on your own anymore.
I think many don’t realize how much income-to-expenses has changed.
And seen to not realize that without a college degree, it’s unlikely you can find much work that pays more than minimum wage. And even that is generally only for men doing physically demanding jobs which have long term health consequences.
So it’s either take on a huge amount of debt for a chance at a slightly better job pay and security, or stay in poverty forever.

Why is it unhealthy? As I said. A lot of us don’t use reddit. And memes are posted on multiple platforms. That’s normal.
- Comment on People here will upvote anything so here's some content off the front page of Reddit 6 days ago:
No one cares if stuff that’s also on reddit gets posted here.
Memes often get posted on multiple platforms. Recycled. Reposted.
I post stuff I got from other places. I post stuff I made too but mostly it’s images I found elsewhere. No one cares if it’s funny or whatever as long as it isn’t spammed.
Many of us are not using reddit at all anymore. So we aren’t seeing it there anyway.

This is not evidence that boomers stole your money.
It’s just evidence that companies have been exploiting people to greater levels over time.
Boomers had as much power to shape the economy as you and I have right now.
Do you really think that the people paying off politicians to pass laws or hinder laws to increase their profits is blameless ?
Blaming boomers is akin to blaming immigrants. Or women. Or disabled people for the reason that companies won’t pay their employees what they should.
It’s scapegoating propaganda.
Billionaires don’t want you looking their direction so they constantly are trying to find a new group to point the finger at.
They own all the mainstream media which is also pushing this narrative.
It’s not the exploitive hoarding billionaire controlling your politicians making your life harder. No. Couldn’t be.
It’s the older generation who have a little bit more than you have. Yeah. Fuck old people. How dare they not due already ?

Yes social security in the U.S is a specific tax that only goes to social security. Or at least that’s how it’s supposed to work but lately there has been talk of using it for the war. Which shouldn’t be allowed.
I think it’s pretty obvious to anyone that billionaires hoarding wealth and capitalism greed has gotten us where we are.
It’s silly to blame older generations that had it better for the decline.
They have as much control over all of this as I do right now. Which is very little.
Profit and production per person has been increasing for as long as it’s been recorded. Yet wages have not came close to matching inflation.
Why is that? Did boomers as a group some how orchestrate a decline in wages?
No.
That’s thanks to corporations paying off politicians and making sure no laws would pass to force them to pay people a living wage. No laws would pass to restrict increases in college education. No laws would pass to keep rent affordable.
Didn’t matter who you voted for. There have been plenty of Dems and Republicans in control at various times in the last 50 years. And yet. No laws were passed to help the people. Only create tax loop holes for the rich.
Because the rich pay off the politicians.
These problems are not from boomers existing at a time before it got bad.
It’s true many billionaires are boomers but there are many that aren’t that are the richest. Bezos isn’t. Musk isn’t.

So that’s like 1 percent of the boomers.

How did boomers stop pensions? Wasn’t it company owners who decided not to provide them anymore ?
- Comment on good going 1 week ago:
My outlook is , hey if I tried and failed at least I know I put in the effort. I didn’t just accept defeat before knowing my limits.
Isn’t it better to know you tried than you were too weak to even try?
I guess it depends on the kind of person you are. Some people don’t like being confronted by their limitations so it’s easier not to test those boundaries and pretend they don’t exist.

I switched from Nvidia and Intel to Amd Amd for my newer PC. Couldn’t be happier. No issues. Better prices too.
AMD has software for both its processors and gpus. So nothing to trade off as far as I can tell.

Taxes don’t go to boomers retirement.
Either they get social security that they paid into. Or they have retirement pensions or 401ks. IRAs. That they paid into.
Some of our taxes do go to Medicare/Medicaid, but I don’t have a problem with that.

That’s fair. Most problems have multiple components

Would you retire in this economy? Especially if you had prescription drugs that were keeping you alive amounting to 2k a month?
Genuine question. Would you ?
Also. Not all boomers have a retirement fund. And social security does not pay out enough to live on.
My grandpa gets like 1200 a month or something.
A good chunk goes to prescriptions.
