Lemmy, reddit is more active and has more content but Lemmy will get there. The front page is awful now. It's full of ads and suggested crap. I subscribed to things for a reason. I liked seeing posts I cared about. This shoving content down my throat approach curiously made me get off the site sooner.

Yes, if a) you were raised with such values? Common sense? Both? And b)if your city has a lot of thrash cans. I'm surrounded by a lack of both so the meme is accurate to the folks that keep trash in their pockets until they get to a trashcan.

The black Panthers tried that. Not saying it shouldn't be done again but let's learn from what happened to them.

The civil rights museum in Memphis,TN is amazing. What made it impactful to me is very much that. Seeing the buses, diners, the hotel, all modern things made me realize these things basically just happened. Black Americans have had a long arduous road to just exist in the country they were forced to come to. And they're always being gaslit, told it happened long ago, didn't happen, it wasn't that bad etc.

Switching costs money. From what he said money might be tight. I buy and sell my own vehicles. It is a job. Most prefer to give up a few grand to not have to do it (you never get paid full market value on a trade in). Even if someone decided to do it themselves they run the risk of losing big time if they're inexperienced. Even though I've been doing it for years even I lose on some of these. When I lose, it's usually close to the cost of the vehicle. I can afford that and in the end I average out really well.But the majority of people can't do that. I get all the hate new big trucks get and I agree. As someone who works in construction I wish station wagons would make a come back. But it's really easy to say "just do x y or z" it's not so easy to do.

I don't know if she said it or not but it's about Jada Pinkett Smith saying Tupac was her soulmate. It wouldn't surprise me, they seemed to have a lot of chemistry.
