Who is saying anything about hypocrisy? This is about the guy feeling the consequences for his shitty policies.

The Superbowl is nothing more than watching rich people fight over a ball while companies spend obscene amounts of money to blast advertisements at you. in c/unpopularopinion@lemmy.world

I think you confused football with Amerixan football. It is referring to what you would call soccer.

There isnt any appeal. It is just them trying to carve into that tiktok market, but the people watching tiktok are already just watching tiktok, so it is basically just there to annoy the rest of us.

That is only very selectively true though, considering that the party responsible for starting those wars is the one playing pacifist now. And if there is one thing we know about GOP it is that they are definitely not pacifist

It is just a very poor excuse by disingenous liars.

Indeed. "Grab them by the pussy" and his mocking of a disabled person all made it very clear. Anyone still on board with him after that was a certified asshole.

All of his supporters in 2016 were also bad people. They saw the "grab them by the pussy" tape, they saw him make fun of a disabled person, and thought he was still a worthy candidate for their vote.

Don't let any company which chose to get involved in this blatant scam get exonerated just because they dumped it later. They still tried to pull the scam in the first place, and they only dropped it because they didn't make any money on it, not because it was a scam.

Always remember this.

Youtube has better anti-adblock now. Other than Invidious, any way around it? Purging and re-dowloading the ublock stuff didn't work in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Firefox + ublock still works perfectly fine for me.

The main figures mentioned are from 2000-2019. So definitely no COVID involved.

Why did we give up on insulation? in c/unitedkingdom@feddit.uk
[–] yata@sh.itjust.works 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Not really true. UK definitely has a history of under-insulation compared to other European countries with similar climates (like Denmark for example).

The Banshees of Inisherin. I expected a comedy from the reviews, not something this dark.

You are making the mistake of conflating game quality with profit. He did not lessen the profitability of the games, on the contrary, and that is what the board cares about, not the quality of games.

Obvious bots applying to become reddit mods (www.reddit.com)

An automod is making posts asking for moderators in subs where the mods have either been purged or left reddit on their own accord. The predictable result is a flood of copypasted applications from bots.

Fanny - Hey Bulldog (1971) (www.youtube.com)
 

Fanny was an American all-female band, active in the early 1970s. They were one of the first notable rock groups to be made up entirely of women, the third to sign with a major label (after Goldie & the Gingerbreads and the Pleasure Seekers), and the first to release an album on a major label (in 1970). They achieved two top 40 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 and released five albums.

Sisters June Millington (born April 14, 1948, Manila, Philippines) and Jean Millington (born May 25, 1949, Manila, Philippines) moved with their family from the Philippines to Sacramento, California in 1961. In high school they formed an all-girl band called the Svelts with June on guitar, Jean on bass, Addie Lee on guitar, and Brie Brandt on drums. Brandt was later replaced by Alice de Buhr (born September 4, 1949, Mason City, Iowa). When the Svelts disbanded, de Buhr and Lee formed another all-female group called Wild Honey. The Millington sisters later joined this band, which played Motown covers and eventually moved to Los Angeles.

In January 1970, Nickey Barcley was asked to join Fanny as a singer and keyboardist. She was one of the main songwriters and lead singers in the group, and appeared on all their albums, adding soul, blues and funk influences to the group's overall sound.

"Subscription pending" and all comments on posts in community on another instance not showing up (sh.itjust.works)
 

I wanted to subscribe to https://sh.itjust.works/c/bookcollecting@lemmy.world, but it just says "Subscription pending", and while I can post there and it shows all of the posts in the community, it doesn't show any comments to those posts.

If I visit the community directly through lemmy.world (without being logged in to an account of course), it shows that there are multiple comments to all of the posts, but if I visit through my account on this instance it shows 0 comments to all of the posts.

I don't know if it is connected to the "subscription pending" issue, but I have tried refreshing to make the subscription pending change into subscribed, but it doesn't happen.
