The ACA never happened in your mind?
- Comment on Many TV stations put a banner ad in the picture these days 2 weeks ago:
This is a weird take. That ticker telling you about scores and schedules for a whole bunch of different sports has been on ESPN forever.

That’s not valuing your time, friendo. That’s undiagnosed ADD.
- Comment on JetBlue makes you watch an ad to connect to wifi 3 months ago:
It’s a single short ad and works better than any plane Wi-Fi I’ve ever used. OP has one of the most entitled takes I’ve ever seen.

- Comment on Lots of times the restaurants won't even have milk 5 months ago:
My friend ordered an omelette without the eggs before, and it worked. A server wouldn’t sell me a double shot of Jager because it was “too much alcohol” but had no problem selling me two single shots at once.
All depends on how accommodating your server is.
- Comment on bugs 6 months ago:
Yep. If your instance defederates from certain instances that others don’t defederate from, you won’t see comments from those defederated servers that others might still be able to see and interact with.

Talk to your instance or your client. I see it just fine.
- Comment on every comment section 7 months ago:
They can bother you if you block them.
For example I just blocked the entire Linux lemmy.ml community 1 minute ago.
- Comment on Cant play monster hunter 10 months ago:
I don’t think they’re problematic, but as a slightly above average height American male, I feel like my hands skew towards the smaller side of average which makes a difference. I have no problem with the joycons attached to the console, and I’m also a big fan of the pro controller. A friend of mine who is notably much taller bought me pro-like third party joycons for Christmas and they hurt my hands to use in contrast to the OG that don’t bother me at all.
- Comment on Steam keeps on winning 10 months ago:
Pretty sure Gabe lives in New Zealand now. Unless I’m remembering incorrectly, he just got stuck there during COVID and then never left once restrictions were eased.
- Comment on why can't I manage my discord nitro subscription from the app when I can buy it from the app? 11 months ago:
Imagine paying for bigger uploads on Discord when Mega is free.
- Comment on Open for discussion 1 year ago:
I don’t think so. There are very few communities that actually successfully fully left reddit. A good number of them splintered across circlejerkers on multiple lemmy instances with the users remaining on reddit asking “what’s a lemmy” and staying put. The vast majority never left reddit at all, and don’t give a fuck that reddit is trying to build a business.
Where the lemmy hivemind fails is that a bunch of us are reddit refugees that lost our favorite mobile apps, so you get a bunch of delusional people here thinking that reddit is dead and lemmy is the best thing ever. It’s not. Lemmy has a lot of the same problems reddit had, and we’re just repeating history. Wait until you need to squash extremism, prevent illegal content, and people maintaining the main instance (don’t kid yourself, it’s lemmy.world) need to eat.

Why don’t the banks do this?
They get a cut of every transaction, and the more debt you accrue, the more money the bank makes if you carry a balance. They are financially disincentivized from protecting you from your spending.
