    Can we please stop posting headlines from Kalshi and Polymarket like they are news organizations?

    They only do it to draw more people in to gamble with money they can’t lose right now.

        That is cm002 MO. Despite not being a bot. He’s generated many accounts across numerous instances, and posts without consideration or context. I’ve blocked so many of his accounts but I still see he shit. Lemmy is almost perfect if there weren’t ban evaders laughing at the rules of the sub and posting anyways.

          Maybe this is already supported, but I don’t think it is. Wildcard or regex is blocking should be allowed. We should be able to block any username regardless of instance, or ones that match a pattern would be even better.

          Yup, I’m quite familiar. The crybaby banned me from dozens of communities they’ve managed to get modded on because I downvote their posts.

    Rich person after making a thing: This thing is super dangerous and nobody else should be allowed to make it. However, I can be trusted to use it, but nobody else should ever be allowed to make this dangerous thing.

      That’s like basically the defense industry for any startup, you need to have inertia from the getgo, start producing your prototype that probably shouldn’t be legal in your hands and quickly make connections and then score contracts. Or I guess you can just be the son, son in law or friend of the president these days.

    I discovered a long time ago that making burgers at home is quicker and the items are much fresher, and I make it the way I want it.

    In a capitalistic, absurd world (the current one) it makes sense for McDonalds to start poisoning grocery store meant while maintaining their own pure reserves so the masses can start flocking back to the commercial burger stalls. Capitalism, bad. Socialism, good.
