Same reasons why people still use Facebook - too many folks who think it's still a good thing.

As a white person, I choose "sweet release of death."

Warren Zebon FTW!

Ich war geknebelt. Ich konnte nicht mal schreien.
Oh, Sweet Sweet Gwendoline!

But "Sweet Caroline" is problematic in a different way. From Wikipedia - "Diamond has provided different explanations for the song's origins. In a 2007 interview, he stated the inspiration for the song was John F. Kennedy's daughter, Caroline, who was 11 years old at the time it was released. Diamond sang the song for her at her 50th birthday celebration in 2007. On December 21, 2011, in an interview on CBS's The Early Show, Diamond said that a magazine cover photo of Caroline as a young child on a horse with her parents created an image in his mind, and the rest of the song came together about five years after seeing the picture. However, in 2014, Diamond said the song was about his then-wife Marcia, but he needed a three-syllable name to fit the melody."

He wrote lyrics about touching each other a few years after seeing her in a photo as a young child?

Awful generous thinking they ever peaked.

It wasn't what she asked but it's what she needed to know. The rest of us, OTOH, were better off before seeing this.

Something similar happened to me with a community on hexbear. Never posted but I already had a ban. The mods must have seen a comment or something on a different community on the instance. Some of the mods there are just as think skinned as on ml.

Can we tell everyone that Jesus said they need to go to moon first?

Just like television - the ads are the content; the shows are the filler.

This is the kind of person who thinks you can grow and sell a million tomatoes in one year. It's all about "the hustle" - physics and reality be damned.

Exactly. It's Microsoft ffs. They don't care what consumers want. The only time they do anything truly beneficial is when the EU makes them.

Dens of badgers would help too.

John Deere probably bribed lobbied hard for that carve out. It was their practices that helped drive the right to repair movement. Giving them a pass really diminishes the accomplishment.

Smaller farms are going to get screwed over with all the fees and mandatory maintenance that can be imposed.

Everyone gets angry about printers needing a debit card on file but manufacturers like John Deere do similar stuff. If they think you've tinkered with it, they can disable the equipment remotely.

Well, I guess I need to rethink my life.
