I appreciate the reply but I just don’t see why states need different laws. The time period cited for the need was 250 years ago. I guess that is the conservative modus operandi.

I’m just not convinced that Mississippi having different, worse, healthcare laws is better for the people who live there. Mississippi is choosing to shit their pants, but as a country we all share the smell. Conservatives want to sit in their soiled pants, or the smell, and the rest of us will are horrified.

I never understood states rights and how separating our country into 50 different little countries is a good thing. It puts states at odds and forces the US Judicial system into having to decide. Putting the law deciding back into the hands of the federal government.

Isn’t the whole point that if someone doesn’t agree with the laws of the state they reside they can go to a state that does? It would seem needing to find out who gets an abortion or gender-affirming outside of your state is nobody’s worry. Those people are doing the exact thing conservatives want.

Does Mississippi plan on charging people in other states of committing a crime? Is it to make sure a Mississippi resident doesn’t cross a state border? If so, why? What intentions would the state of Mississippi have with this info if not to prosecute?

The truth is that this overexposure on the internet hasn’t caused much more harm than before social media. Most people, not all, but a majority have zero bad intentions. So sharing details about yourself to a mass audience is screaming in the void. Nobody cared about your life before it was on the internet, nobody cares now. Social media companies selling your data is for a shitty reason but not an unethical one. They just want to sell you stuff and they are salesmen that know everything about you.

On the other side, people who want to do bad things can and will regardless of details about someone on the internet. Stranger danger is a fallacy and the person who can/might victimize you is someone you already know. Sure, maybe it saves time, but it doesn’t really change victimization. People can stalk someone in real life, can steal their mail, can social engineer the people around their victim, it’s just a bit easier when a lot of it can be done by befriending someone on social media.

I played RO back in high school. Haven’t thought about that game in 20 years. I might have to check it out again.

I did edit to clarify, the criticisms I was mentioning were intended as public criticisms. Which both were true. I can understand how you might have assumed I meant my own personal criticism.

A big reason I use credit cards for payments is the protection I get when things go wrong. Charge up my card and I can dispute, charge up my bank account and I’m out that money until the bank resolves the issue.

This isn’t a scam message. I received the same message a few days ago, different date due to billing cycle differences. This is the same thread that confirms my automatic payment has been received.

There isn’t anything wrong with it, but OP didn’t mention their politics. It is a fair warning for someone asking about an influencer they don’t know much about.

Mr Beast is fine. His content is fine for kids to watch, that is his demo. He demonstrates that doing good things with the money you have is the best thing to do. Mr Beast gets a lot of flack for his videos but as far as online entertainers go, he’s a good one. Are his videos entertaining to me? No. Are they entertaining to millions of others? Yes. Is he a negative influence on children? No. The only real PUBLIC criticism for Mr Beast is he supports LGBTQ people and his video “exploit” medical problems of people.

Edit since it seems people think me mentioning he supports LGBTQ. Criticism for his support for Chris exists in the world. OP didn’t mention their politics, I mentioned the two things Mr Beast has received criticism for in the public space.

I moved most of my daily computing over to a smart phone about a decade ago. I use a computer for work and a computer for gaming, moving the rest of my computing to a phone helps the brain. Reddits app sucked, their site doesn’t work well on mobile and constantly forced to open in the app. Third party was my only option, Apollo.

I’m using Wefwef (really don’t love the name) which is a clone of Apollo for lemmy. It isn’t as feature-rich at the moment but the interface is similar enough to make the transition easy.

Herd mentality is very weird. People who would never, on their own, commit crimes/violence just kind of start doing it. Almost feels like that “god hand” player controlling the RTS ordered a group of people to do their bidding.

Apollo really held on for dear life. Worked until sometime this afternoon.

I tried Reddit on the browser but it just doesn’t work like I want it to on my phone. There are many people who don’t know a different version of Reddit than their terrible app and site. It will continue but not with me.
