Libby is 100% compatible with kindle, has been for years. It's the first prompt immediately after you check out the book; it asks if you want to read it in Libby, or have it sent to your kindle. I'd definitely recommend it, it couldn't be more seamless.

I think people missed your sarcasm lol

Why are you feeling the need to have your protein shakes in secrecy?

An elective surgery you call it, an investment in their vision, I call it. Not everyone has vision as part of their insurance, and contacts/glasses/exams can get expensive without (or even with, depending on the policy). Viewed in that way, LASIK can definitely be seen as an investment.

The second Apple rolled out face ID, I knew this tech was ready and waiting for forced ads

No, but deciding to comment is a choice you made, not something out of your control like something appearing in your feed.

I actually mentioned that in a comment above. Reddit used to be just as bad, if not worse indeed, but that doesn't excuse Lemmy by any means. I do hope that it's a good indicator that Lemmy will get better with time, though.

So tangential storytime: my husband recently discovered one of these channels (not sure if it's this one or just a similar one), and specifically this goddamned song called "I glued my balls to my butthole again." He will. Not. Stop. Playing it. He thinks it's fucking hilarious, especially the more I roll my eyes.

Anyway, yes these channels are a blight, something needs to be done about them, and if anyone needs a husband they can find mine on the curb blasting that song on a loop lmao

Idk how unprecedented it is, it's happening in Oklahoma too, unfortunately

Goodness gracious, it's almost like you're commenting on the thread almost a day later and maybe the comments are a bit different now, as opposed to earlier.

It's a lot like Reddit was back in the old days in that way :/

No.

The undercurrent of misogyny is so so rampant on Lemmy, worse even than reddit was. Posts like this bring it right out. I can't believe how many upvotes some of these red-pill-ass comments have. It's really discouraging to see and often makes me too nervous to speak up on women's issues here on Lemmy, lest I be absolutely brigaded.

At least the bear can't use a keyboard and thus wouldn't be able to try and bully me into shutting up on the internet, so there's another instance where I'd choose a bear over a random man.

Just like internalized misogyny is very much a thing in women, internalized racism is a thing, too. It's sort of like a poor person aligning themselves with the rich against their own interests, if that's easier for you to visualize. All that to say, I agree with the other commenter— that cop is blue.

Heaven forbid we fix the actual problem, the exploitative nature of the sites themselves. No no, let's control the kids and keep them off certain websites instead, that's always worked so well before.

He wrote this for himself in his Meditations. So he wasn't telling this to anyone but himself, therefore not 'gaslighting' anyone. Beyond being a roman emperor, he is also a pretty respected philosopher, and that generally doesn't happen without having something interesting to say on the subject.

I personally think the company you choose to keep says a lot about you. There's being polite with your partner's friends and then there's being all over someone like a bestie. It's amazing how well her PR machine works that she gets white knighted so much, even on Lemmy. May I remind everyone that she is a billionaire and didn't get to be one accidentally. She's just as bad as the rest of them, she just pays people to make her seem not as threatening, and it's clearly working based on all the free defense she gets on the internet.

She's not your friend. Arguably, she's Brittany Mahome's friend.

Following up with an "You're right, I don't know you"

Idk, the recent pic of her chummy day/night out with Brittany Mahomes planted quite a bit of doubt for me. There was a lot of speculation after those pictures released that she'd come out for Kamala, to get ahead of any backlash.
