My dad died young. He was only 52. I like to think he wouldn’t have been brainwashed by the qult, but honestly who knows? He was running in circles that are now full of trump clowns. He ran a construction company and was a registered Republican, but gave up on them after W and voted for Obama twice. I wonder how he would have reacted to this shit. I like to think he’d have been logical and stayed on the Dems side, but I always wonder if he’d have gone to the dark side. There’s a real chance I wouldn’t be talking to him right now if he did. I’m glad I never had to deal with it because I was very close to him. I feel for you OP.

I think it’s legit just taxes he’s trying to avoid, but it could be something bigger too.

It actually was half way decent til recently, then they just broke the search function for idk reasons. Discord doesn’t purge chat to my knowledge.

Lol I can’t remember if it was sync or Lemmy that tried to get me on their discord server recently. I go to join, and it asked for some kind of ID verification. Like dude, I didn’t have to do this for your actual app. As you might guess, I did not join the server.

Daily reminder, you have freedom of speech in that the government won’t do anything about your speech, but you don’t have freedom from speech. Going out and protesting your employer and their business relationships can and will get you fired, no matter how just the cause.

Red zone is still a thing.

I tried to be the good guy last year. I paid for Sunday ticket so I could watch all the games. Then the playoffs come, and they put a fucking playoff game on fucking Peacock that was exclusive to Peacock. NBC wouldn’t even air it on the local affiliate. The playoffs have always been on network TV to get maximum viewing, and now they put it behind a walled garden on the worst streaming service. Fuck them. I cancelled my Sunday Ticket and will never give them another dime. I know /knew how to pirate, but again, I was trying to follow the rules, and they fucked me. Now it’s back to the seven seas.

Anons brother was at fault in the accident n deleted the footage so he wouldn’t get in trouble… Assuming this isn’t fake, and / or…

I never played it in school, but definitely at like summer camps that were less organized…

Whack, I guess that means it won’t be on YouTube for free anymore

But does it whip the llamas ass?

Wallstreetbets has ruined even the regular best regards, and I only use regards now as a subtle insult in professional email signatures now.

My grandpa’s name was Larry. I had always assumed it was short for Lawrence. I just found out recently like 8 years after he died that it wasn’t even short for that. Apparently my illiterate great grandparents wanted to name him Larrington (which I’m 90% sure isn’t even a first name in the lexicon). Apparently my great grandmother wanted him to grow up to be Larrington the Lawyer. My guess is that was a name of a local law firm she had heard of something because it definitely sounds like a surname that you would hear on a law office advert, (i.e. call Larrington and Mitchell). Turns out they couldn’t spell Larrington and just decided to name him Larry for short. So his fucking birth certificate has a nickname on it for a name he wasn’t even born as. My mind was fucking blown hearing this.

In other news, Discord was still doing business in Russia… Cool

Member back when you used to be optimistic about the upcoming innovation? Now the only “innovation” is enshitification.

It’s like 90% of discord emotes

R.i.p. Halo. 1v1 on hang em high’s magic will never be recaptured

I noped out of wanting to see it in theaters when they announced it. I thought Joker was really good, and was excited about a sequel. A musical was certainly a choice. I am waiting for streaming if I ever do watch it.
