Americans are choking on surging fast-food prices. "I can't justify the expense," one customer says ( www.cbsnews.com )

Kevin Roberts remembers when he could get a bacon cheeseburger, fries and a drink from Five Guys for $10. But that was years ago. When the Virginia high school teacher recently visited the fast-food chain, the food alone without a beverage cost double that amount....

All big companies are keeping tabs on socials, incl. Lemmy. You think you're special for using Lemmy? 🤪

UckyBon ,

Keep convincing yourself that you're special.

Are you really that dumb to think your comment isn't scanned by companies?

UckyBon ,

Smart comeback!

UckyBon ,

Of course, because people here hate Asians, as I have been trying to point out. Luckily your racist friends like you. Now go dig a hole please, and drop your mom in it first. You motherfucking racist barbarian baboon brain.

UckyBon ,

Well, I just spent a good 5 minutes in Lemmy and encounter nothing but white trash. I am certainly gonna go outside again, but not of your command, wanna-be-master. I'm not your fucking slave.

UckyBon ,

Being in IT communicating must be really hard.

UckyBon ,

Wrong. The far right is suggesting it and the mid is allowing it.

UckyBon ,

My yearly income is US$10k. It's insane.

UckyBon ,

They're blinded by love. And they love to hate.

Wait till they find out about Linus Torvalds' net worth 😅

UckyBon ,

Maybe you should suck his cock too!

UckyBon ,

Lol, bootlicker 😅

UckyBon ,

Exactly. Fuck the rich unless I use what they made for me, then give 'm billions because millions ain't hardly enough for them.

UckyBon ,

It sounds like you're arguing with yourself as I have never mentioned any of those words.

UckyBon ,

If you don't watch it it looks like nothing.

UckyBon ,

Fuck off you racist piece of shit.

UckyBon ,

Broken-English speaking Asians. I'm one of them. No go on and fuck your fat white bitch. The racist mods here will ban me soon for calling ya'll out. Ruud is a racist too. Fuck him and his Nazi gang.

It's not for nothing that Lemmy.World defederates from the non-racist instances. Ever thought about that?

After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year ( www.billboard.com )

When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers. Higher subscription prices typically equate to a bump in U.S. mechanical royalties — but not...

That's great! Not sure where you live (because shipping), but a lot of artists (I listen to) have limited physical releases on Bandcamp. Sometimes it's worth the extra few bucks. My digital collection is bigger tho.

So I actually do spend more on musicians than only streaming services CEO people. There is of course the ecological aspect of the production of the physical releases, but I don't drive nor eat meat. I'd buy their stuff at a concert too.

I use Slsk for my other needs.

Your comment reads as if it was written by AI 🤖

I'm not even color blind and I hate it.

That said, in my color green they won't need a visa, but they will get a 30-day visa exemption. If they want to stay longer they'll need to apply for a visa.

Nothing. There is a lot of anti-asian racism going on here on Lemmy.

Then buy similar hardware from a competitor that meets your needs. I mean, Apple was never innovative, so you surely can get something better somewhere else?

UckyBon ,

The user only stated they can't think of a use-case for the hardware, and therefore innovation is useless. They don't even have to use it.

UckyBon ,

People will love and defend big industries as long as it personally benefits them short term.

When I was a kid in the late 80s/early 90s, we had a toy-library across from our house. You could rent all kinds of toys for a week, extend if needed, and return it when the kids got bored with it. Good times.

They also had LEGO, and every piece had to be accounted for on return.

They went out of business when people started buying their own GameBoys and PlayStations.

UckyBon ,

Lemmy hates capitalism, but do you use Proton already? They have a Linux client. <insert another Proton ad> Buy Google Pixel to get rid of Google!

Yeah, the userbase here is a wild one.

UckyBon ,

A smoothie. Or salad rolls. Or salad tacos.

Croutons, or meat, are quite common in salads. You can shape foods a certain way.

If you think a salad is just a sad bunch of leaves you haven't lived.

UckyBon ,

That's the secret ingredient of emo.

UckyBon ,

Never enough forks! Don't like it? Fork it! Fork me and fork you! So much effort lost in all those forks.

UckyBon ,

No man is an island, but they can fork one!

UckyBon ,

Just yesterday I took the time to listen to Dr. Dooom - First Come, First Served. I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. To see him randomly pop-up here made my evening!

UckyBon ,

I don't understand why people still put time and effort into creating or buying stuff for this foremostly marketing company.

Everyone here seems to be about privacy and hating ads, yet still funneling time, effort, and money to them 🙃

[Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?

Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don't come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don't really get upset by it...

UckyBon ,

Rice and beans are staples in poor countries. Meat is for the rich.

UckyBon ,

I just stated a fact. Not what I think nor what others should do. I do however think you underestimate how healthy vegetables are. I never said people should only eat rice and beans.

Now go and enjoy your flesh, because otherwise there won't be variety (that sounds really dumb btw).

UckyBon ,

You don't need to buy luxury items to eat healthy vegetables. Such a weird defense.

UckyBon , (edited )

Meat-eaters support a very harmful industry (both for the animals as well as the environment).

Nothing chill about that.

Edit: Thank you! Your downvote prevented another animal from being bred and killed within a couple of weeks after feasting on corn and body parts of its parents, meanwhile destroying the environment. Good job, buddy.

Voting here doesn't work. Vote with your wallet 🤪

Poor you with your poor meat. Look at all the poor people feasting on turkey and salmon!

I grew up rich, so I only had beans and rice. Sometimes a carrot because it's prices like gold. My broccoli is a luxury as well. Marbled steak is for peasants.

I mean, do you even hear yourself? You make it sound like you're a victim of the meat industry. While enjoying them big chunks of muscle with some sauce because they taste like crap without!

UckyBon ,

Because veganism is an inherently right wing activity and exploiting animals a left wing activity. (Do I need to put that /s?)

UckyBon ,

What would make you love vegans?

UckyBon ,

The slaughtered animals will thank you in heaven 🙏

UckyBon ,

Why are meat-eaters always acting like they're the victim?

UckyBon ,

Attacked? How about the billion animals that are literally killed for pleasure?

UckyBon ,

That animals are happy when you're about to eat them! (Just look at the marketing in your local grocery stores.)

People defend that indoctrination as if they have no choice.

UckyBon ,

Why would you care? Are you that insecure?
