So is lemmy just dead?

This post is the number 1 post when sorting by hot in the category ALL. It's been here an hour with ZERO comments?

Every other post in my feed is similar. What is happening?

Interstellar Spaceship Owls are still waiting for their moment.

I just use TurboTax, which asks you questions in order to generate your return, and automatically integrates with most online accounts. There are free alternatives, too.

We know.

Boomers vote because they are already registered, know where to go, have transportation, have time to do it. They can go out the door on election day and just get it done.

Younger people, especially college age, aren’t registered in the states they live in, have no idea how to get registered, have to go through a much more complicated process of absentee voting, and have to do much of these things well in advance. They are less likely to have transportation, or a schedule that allows them to do it.

Oh, and most importantly, we haven’t given young people a candidate to get excited about in a general election in at least 40 years

If Democrats wanted to harness the power of young voters, they needed to give them Bernie.

Instead we got aptly-named Sleepy Joe.

Now we got what Boomers wanted: Bidenomics. Everyone claims Bidenomics is going well, but young people can’t afford their loans, healthcare, childcare, or rent. So what’s with all the cork-popping.

The fact is, were a nation in absolute crisis, and Democrat Boomers absolutely will not acknowledge it. They got their SUVs, stock portfolios, social security, houses, pensions, and medicare. So fuck everyone else.

Can. Should.

Strong agree.

Trump dying now would be terrible for the country. If we’re ever going to heal as a nation, the MAGA cult has to see this guy behind bars, and see the rest of the Republican leadership at long last disown him.

Remember when they owned us by refusing to vaccinate, and mask, and eventually breathe?

Same. Bonus, I also abandoned Fark for Digg.

This is the third time I’ve watched a fantastic service shit it’s pants in public.

Reminds me of Digg. They turned into a very pretty ghost town.

1980s-90s RadioShack, yes.

They really went off the rails during their decline. They became a cellphone store, and not at all a good one… Their pricing on EVERYTHING was not only non-competitive, it was ludicrously expensive.

I think people are forgetting that Blockbuster video was the shitty megacorp that killed all the charming local, independent video stores.

Those stores had personality. I miss that experience.

Blockbuster felt corporate and bad.

That’s a line from comedian James Acaster. If you haven’t seen his Netflix special, you are really missing out on something spectacular.

I don’t hate the iPhone. I hate Apple for taking advantage of people who don’t know any better.

At this point they have a captive audience of computer-illiterate users who are trapped in the Apple ecosystem, forced to pay obscene amounts of money when their flimsy chargers die, because they literally cannot fathom how to use any UI more complicated than pressing a single button over and over again until their device does what they want.

No need to get defensive just because of your buyer’s remorse.

Great. By all means, give him $17/yr. I will continue to laugh at you about it in here for FREE.

By definition, iPhone owners don’t mind paying ridiculous prices for things they can get for free.

As I said, if you want to give your money away for no reason, more power to you. No judgement.
