Do you get in trouble for upvoting this stuff with Lemmy?

[–] [email protected] 36 points 3 weeks ago

Not unless a billionaire owns the server.

Only on servers run by Bowser.

For upvoting a picture of Mario's brother?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 weeks ago

Not that I've seen but I don't give a fuck.

Seeing that all votes and post are public - I assume that some three letter agency is already running one or more instances and is feeding the user behavior into a tool like Palantir.

So, trouble? No. Are you likely associated with your opinion on some sort of database? Yes, unless you keep immaculate opsec.

Americans need to smash these corporate cocksuckers in the face and cause them permanent brain damage.

More guns than any other country on the planet and everyone’s complacent just taking it from the billionaires.

There may be more guns than people here, but there are far fewer gun owners than not, and they have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo that armed them

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago

I have no idea what point you are trying to make. Some dude at the local gun store armed me, not Elon Musk. The vested interest that keeps me from using my firearms is the fact that I have to be alive and not in prison to take care of my family.

Where's the Luigi sky beam signal?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

indeed, I should have known that already existed... Good one. I wanted to laugh, but health"care" companies killing thousands of patients for profit is not a laughing matter. :(

They probably aren’t paying enough to the GOP which is why Ken is after them.
