I guess another warning is to keep your eye on public education too

Stargate+ Maxx Ultraviolet

It’s the exclusivity bullshit that gets me.

It could be: New movie is released! Anyone who pays the price tag gets to stream it!

But no, we must bidding war gouge.

On top of that, X Y and Z services exist in America, but not in other countries, so in this other country, everything is on Netflix, while I had to jump between three different services at one point just to watch Stargate

“Pron was the only time you could be with a girl without your parents present”

Spokesperson has to respond immediately. Paperwork and analysis people take a bit more time.

Still waiting for Twitter to die first. Been waiting for a decade to see Facebook die. I’m not hopeful

I wonder if you try to explain why you still use hate speech, you’ll get an understanding of why people refuse to change

How about deep diving? It’s not easy and consistent with one app, but it’s pretty satisfying to be the one figuring stuff out.

Or local city planning. Future plans on what to build and where. Doesn’t update as frequently, but it’s something to circle back to on occasion, or you might want to get involved and go to a meeting.

Some people like to listen to police scanners, or alternatively there is usually someone with a social media account who posts just the most important or funniest transmissions from the city/county/whatever

Or you could get an idle game app that you occasionally need to pop into to collect money and upgrade.

Start day trading?

Portland airport parking garage has these lights at each spot, along with a digital sign at the start of each level telling you the number of open standard spots and handicap spots on that level

Here’s a picture

See that one? That’s the alpha pug

They are all feral by definition in the new world (although I’ve never read about your link before!)

Legislative BS that requires public opinion often refers to them as wild (because it plays to romanticizing) or they are sometimes labeled wild just to categorize how they will be treated by land and animal controllers (so they are considered “natural” in some areas). Before like the 70s, they were treated as pests and killed, but people thought they were cool and pretty, so it had to stop.

Arizona had always had a shitty time because the horse populations destroy the environment, but when parks people tried to thin or remove them, people complained because horses are pretty.

There are very, very few wild horses, and they’re pretty much untamable. But there are TONS of feral horses with populations growing out of control and governments at a loss for what to do about it

I’m seeing a trendy way of doing the headline:

“Trump claims he never said lock her up. He did. Several times.”

Or some variation.

"All the times Trump said “Lock her up”

“Trump said “Lock her up”, now claims he never did”

I’d wager that most school districts in the US have significantly more money spent on transportation than in other countries as well

Whine about my taxes going up again. Cry laugh at John Stewart. Go defend my school board

Either way, seatbelts should always be buckled while seated. The seatbelt sign turned off doesn’t negate that.

When the Wii U came out, we only referred to it as Weeeeooooo

I think that Lemmy and Reddit are 100% social media.

Common/Wiki definition:

Social media are interactive technologies that facilitate the creation, sharing and aggregation of content, ideas, interests, and other forms of expression through virtual communities and networks.

Content aggregators aren’t discluded. Especially in this case where original content can and does exist.

The biggest difference, I believe, as to why Lemmy is social media and a typical forum is not, is the sorting. In a forum, the discussion is chronological as in a conversation. Here, more likes gets you more noticed. In content AND in discussion. Thus there is incentive. Whether you care about likes or not, it exist and so does incentive for social relevancy. It drives what you see.

Next becomes use case. You CAN sort the comments chronologically, but nobody does that. You CAN just read and never post, but people also do that on Instagram. Maybe you don’t care about likes and aren’t trying to get them. But they exist, and other users do care. If I didn’t care about Facebook likes, it’s still social media.

Whether you like it or not, everything is socially manipulated on this site.

Maybe you don’t feel the negative effects that are typically associated with social media, and that’s great. But some people here do and can get angry/upset/defensive about being down voted. Either way, those effects are not a part of the definition, although the connotation does exist. And the same could be said about any social media. Some people are more headstrong and less effected. This site is not nearly as predatory as the big ones and (depending on your communities) don’t always have the intent to drive your emotional response. But those communities and users do exist.

I only have Instagram installed because there’s a few people who send me (usually political) clips so we can chat about them when we hang out or text. I’m not following anyone I know. I have added a few of the creators. I’ve never once liked or reposted anything. So can I now say Instagram isn’t social media?

Perhaps subcategories could be created, but that’s besides the point. This site absolutely fits at least that one definition, which removes all connotation and defensive argument that can be had.

OP is here interacting with a network of users sharing ideas that are being sorted by popularity, then viewing other posts sorted by popularity. This is socially driven media.

Oh yeah, she talked about that, too. “About to” refered to Rafah and was used to instill a sense of urgency in their actions
