Who shops for food beyond snacks at the dollar store??? I guess people who don’t have a choice.

Guess we need a federated/open source version of what Vine was then.

Is there a genuine question there? That sounds like a feature rather than a bug. If you don’t like it, move to another instance or make your own.

The media is largely a bad fucking joke at this point: It’s infotainment wrapped in advertisements and is highly complicit in all of this.

Mbin, Pixelfed, Lemmy, Mastodon, etc. are all enshittification-resistant too

Bring back Vine!

Damn Daniel…

Gotta wonder how fast this will be undone.

“Cost me an arm and a leg!”

lol, ok

Sure, let me just grab my big bags of money to buy my way out and fund a lengthy, complicated immigration process on top of all the daily bullshit we have to endure every day. It’s not so easily done as so many people seem to think it is.

Then the police start targeting you for being a pain in their ass. I see you are not familiar with this dance, you must be very lucky! Be grateful for your good fortune I guess but trying to hold a cop accountable can be a very dangerous game with terrible outcomes.

Our tax dollars pay for tons of things we are supposed to benefit from, but it seems like a lot of the time, we don’t see those benefits we’re supposed to be getting.

This sure seems like another way of making it easier to cover that bullshit up, especially when poor people are affected.

Gonna go ahead and disagree with you there champ.

Makes me wonder what the hell I pay taxes for…

You can stagger the dissemination of the new number to help determine/eliminate who it is but, as OP said, they have already reported this to the cops multiple times and they are refusing to help. Unfortunately, this is the reality for many victims of crime: The cops in at least some places just don’t care unless you are well off or otherwise connected.

Change numbers? Maybe switch to a VOIP option too where you can have calls forwarded to your actual cell, these often have better blocking/filtering than regular numbers.

They did file multiple reports with the police, who did nothing.

This has been my experience with the police too, any time I’ve needed help or something has happened that needed investigating, they couldn’t be bothered to lift a finger. The closest they ever came to being helpful was when I did their job for them and handed them all the proof, no charges but they talked the idiot who damaged my place into paying money for parts so I could fix what they did. The system is fucking garbage unless you are rich.

There are tons of reasons to hate on Nintendo, they’ve got a history of abandoning games and attacking emulators as well as game preservation.

Using fireworks? Yeah, I feel like it does qualify as stupid whether it was intentional or not lol.
