The damage Mark Burnett did by refining the myth of Donald Trump’s business acumen for The Apprentice is incalculable. He single-handedly convinced the stupidest dregs of society that Donald Trump was a brilliant negotiator and successful businessman. When in reality The Apprentice itself was the only successful thing he had ever been involved with.

So the only way to opt out of this hell is to kill your internet connection?

No. It’s actually simple to disable. On the Roku TV just go to:

Settings > Privacy > Select Smart TV Experience and disable “Use Info from TV Inputs”

Donald Trump’s GOP rivals

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Nobody on those debate stages is actually running for president. They’re all auditioning for Trump’s VP slot. Except perhaps Vivek Ramaswamy, who seems to be trying to use his presidential run to launch some sort of career as a right wing media personality.

Clarence Thomas is a disgrace. My opinion of this man could not get any lower than it already is. It disgusts me that he’s openly corrupt and not a god damn thing is being done to impeach and remove him from the Supreme Court.

“We’re going to win. We’re going to win so much.

We’re going to win so much, you’re going to be so sick and tired of winning, you’re going to come to me and go ‘Please, please, we can’t win anymore.’

You’ll say ‘Please, Mr. President, we beg you sir, we don’t want to win anymore. It’s too much. It’s not fair to everybody else.’” “And I’m going to say ‘I’m sorry, but we’re going to keep winning, winning, winning, We’re going to make America great again.”

You mean to tell me Elon’s little neo-Nazi shithole might not be properly moderating content to stay on the right side of hate speech laws? …Yeah that’s not surprising.

Normal people: Serling. Although it’s often understandably confused with ‘Sterling’ as that’s a more familiar word and sounds very similar.

Idiots: No, no, no, I am from a parallel universe.

Never forget, Paul Ryan bent the knee.

I still remember how annoyed I was when reddit disabled that. It was a useful data point, especially in hobby communities or other places where it can be difficult for newbies to judge the quality of advice/answers they’re receiving so I was thrilled to see it here on Lemmy. Going by upvotes alone is not always showing you an accurate picture of a community’s reaction to a comment.

None of which work anymore.

Edit: Again, downvoting me doesn’t make you any less wrong.

As of July 12th, 2023, Libreddit is currently not operational as Reddit’s API changes, that were designed to kill third-party apps and content scrapers who don’t pay large fees, went into effect. Read the full announcement here.

Edit: Downvoting me doesn’t make you any less wrong.

None of those work anymore after the API changes. Which is the entire point of my original comment.

Yes, and third party clients, specifically alternate web UIs are not available on Reddit.

Third party client support. Specifically alternate web UI’s focused on desktop like Alexandrite because if I’m being honest here, I think the comment nesting in Lemmy’s offical web UI lacks enough distinction to be useful on desktop (its clearly optimized for mobile browsers). Following conversations can be frustrating on desktop. Without Alexandrite I’d most likely be a mobile app (Voyager) user only.

Edit: No, third party web front ends for reddit do not work anymore. Remember those pesky API changes that went into effect in July and were the entire reason the majority of us are on lemmy now? Yeah, that didn’t just kill off third party mobile apps.

Makes sense. It’d be kinda weird if they found Skittles and a burrito bowl from Chipotle in there or something.

They turned me into a newt.

Cowardice. People that think they need a gun on them at all times are paranoid cowards… Which also makes them the last people who should be able to own a gun.
