What if you recommended a smaller instance and they get hugged to death and it ruins the experience for everyone else on that instance?

Though, to be fair, world is already pretty hammered

Fuck that last line slaps. Going to steal that for the future mate.

Your mind still has those experiences. He'll still look back at this fondly, even if drunk. At the least, it'll add to his life experiences so he knows how to control his drinking better in the future if he wants to remember the experience.

A lot of people start off on a major instance, then after finding and vibing with another instance, can move to that.

There's tons of tools and things that allow for transfer of subscriptions and everything else so changing instances isn't a big deal.

The important thing is to get them on Lemmy first.

I work in the library system. This is so stupid and will do so much damage. Fuck musk and trump. Fuck them in their traitor nazi fascist narcissistic stupid face.

Edit: is there some sort of pro trump/musk bot that just goes around downvoting anything negative said about them or something?

Jesus dude, sorry to hear that. Sincerely.

I know it doesn't feel like it now, but things will get better. It will take time, and I know you've heard that before, but I promise you it's true. It will take longer than you think, but each day will get a little easier than the next. Stay the course, and know that it will get better.

It's OK to feel helpless, and like your whole life is over, but I promise you it's not. And it's also OK to feel suicidal, that's normal unfortunately. Please reach out to someone to talk to, a friend, a counselor, or hell, call 988 for the hotline to talk to someone about it. It helps.

You will get through this, your kids will still love you as long as you prioritize their well being and spend time with them whenever you can. The marriage collapsing is not your fault, it always takes 2 and your spouse is just as responsible.

It's going to take time to figure all this out. Like real time, on the scale of years. Humans are stronger than we think to recover from things like this, it just takes time.

Rules for thee.

Unfortunately the damage has been done. Even if it's reverses, most foreign investors aren't coming back to the US market

I should have been clearer, apologies. I understand the article is fake, I just hate that she finds this even remotely funny or felt the need to share in any way.

True. Though they're idiots if they think that crashing the economy will create a "dip" that they can buy back in with.

This isn't a March 2020 market crash caused by some mysterious impersonal virus.

This is him intentionally killing trade agreements that are practically unrecoverable, and the market reacting to that. The market will not bounce back. Our market was largely based on trade. That period is over now. No trade will be happening, not anywhere near the amounts previous.

The market can't recover from a policy shift towards chaotic fascism. Because our foreign allies have long memories and China's been waiting for a moment just like this to take over from the US as the world superpower.

Ignore the racists. Their lives are empty and devoid of meaning or purpose, so they fill that emptiness by using the only thing they feel has any value to look down on people: their skin color.

When all you've got is your skin color to feel superior to someone, you're a special kind of shitty human being, you're a racist.

So who gives a fuck what a racist thinks. Ignore them and know that they are likely deeply, deeply miserable inside.

Yup, and now the world suffers because of democrats unwillingness to say or do anything that might give the impression that they're making anything even remotely a political attack.
