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?

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.

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.

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

3rd-party Reddit app devs: "Reddit is so greedy! We’re leaving! … Hey guys, pay me $17 per year for a gateway to a free service that I have nothing to do with! … Too high? Fine! Pay me $20 for the portal for the free service if you want it without ads!

Connect is my go-to. It’s … Fine.

Sync might be better, but definitely not $20 better or $17 per year better

I was a redditor for 13 years. I bought the premium version of every app. Sync was never a standout for me.

$17 a year isn’t a lot, but when you consider that EVERY company is trying to fleece us all the time by using subscription models where we used to just buy products … It adds up.

Sync is a fine choice if you want to spend a ridiculous amount of money for an app that has 100 percent free alternatives, and also knowing that plenty of other third party Reddit app developers are working on Lemmy apps right now.

Absolutely nothing wrong with giving away a ton of money for no reason. Have fun!
