Correction, they&#39;ve BEEN putting on an act for decades--the same decades the right has been systematically and successfully working their to-do list, and chipping away.<br/>The Dem Party&#39;s act has been growing more and more transparent to the point where now it&#39;s gossamer thin. Now only the most willfully naive can&#39;t see through it. I only wish I knew how to just blow the party up so it is only talked about the way the Whigs are today. &gt;Sigh&lt; 2025-01-22T02:11:44Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqswey5jgh9h52pu9mqqj7mzzunerk4647nkd88cgnvlu6jh9lg0znczyr30z0l75a4nqf67a2hprh2y0kteadwtn0lnz30lznt37ncylwnr52f4zdc The most unrealistic thing to me<br/>watching videos on red note, is the high percentage of Chinese people speaking English. When I spent time in China, English speakers were rare. Also, smoking was out of control. That was ten years ago. Perhaps it’s different now? 2025-01-21T07:10:00Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsyhqqwv8ag75s7xpcvrnssvgrsuygsea66hk3k77wwhjtavvddwygzyr30z0l75a4nqf67a2hprh2y0kteadwtn0lnz30lznt37ncylwnr5khteyf I only watch Pornhub for the articles. 2025-01-16T17:39:47Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsvgh8n9y9qtqkjmyn28477t5jykpctjf50x9j8l6u6d2nreu03csgzyr30z0l75a4nqf67a2hprh2y0kteadwtn0lnz30lznt37ncylwnr53pze97 So it’s come to my attention that the Honey digital-coupon browser addon has been ripping off YouTube “influences,” and I have prepared my official statement on the matter.<br/><video controls width="100%" class="max-h-[90vh] bg-neutral-300 dark:bg-zinc-700"><source src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/113/708/632/417/821/216/original/b6932ce14e05cd78.mp4"></video><br/> 2024-12-24T16:01:12Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsfa9fjqmyel437yqk6s8urv8pkuz3gzsmyv8tyqhjk47gxv74zthszyr30z0l75a4nqf67a2hprh2y0kteadwtn0lnz30lznt37ncylwnr5fh99sr In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgwwud2e65799j5wcyaltzs042tun4s57cf0ft2t0yjv8cx0zh53qwepf3g'>nevent1q…pf3g</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>At first I didn’t even get it, just thinking the choreography was tight. 😂 (Also may have been distracted by how much I love Kool &amp; the Gang.

You may even be one of those people, and if so, why do YOU want Mastodon&#39;s user base to grow?<br/><br/>Full disclosure: I don&#39;t really want or care for Mastodon to get bigger. But I also get why some people may want larger audiences for their art, or their observations about a topic, or any number of reasons.<br/><br/>I&#39;m simply curious why larger social network platform size is viewed so broadly as being good or desirable. 2024-11-22T17:44:46Z
