Oh there’s plenty of propaganda here, pretty extreme as well…

Desperate grasp for attention and control, as they do.

This isn’t a meme.

I downvote whenever I see them, but it seems like there are more, or a loud few (maybe both), for every one of my downvotes. It’s not just here, it seems like this on /all too. To be more specific, it seems there are more trolls constantly watching and quicker on the keyboard for anything remotely political. It sucks that we need moderation in any capacity to enforce no politics on ‘no politics’ spaces…

How about 1 and 2, and get rid of this one? It’ll force all to move and hopefully provide more interaction to their respective preference.

Chaotic, I know, but I for one try my best to avoid political arguments and topics. I bet some of you now enjoy how much it bothers me, an internet stranger not wanting a reminder of how much governments suck everywhere, but still wants to view memes here.

Cuz text can express your sarcasm, fuck me right?

Yeah, I’m so fucking sick of the ‘oH bUt YoU bAsIcAlLy DiD iT tOo!’. Get off your fucking high horse, you’re more part of the problem than the meme itself.

I saw a Lemmy user give ‘benefit of the doubt’ responses for seemingly curt comments, and then original commenter thanks them instead of feeling attacked. Bizarre to me. I feel like that happened on Reddit more often at some point, even for most non-specific communities, but I haven’t seen it since.

Not an expert as well, but I’ll share my experience. Used to work for a company that contracted with multiple shipping companies mainly for large palletized freight shipments (FedEx, R&L), but not all of them (UPS, other local freight). We had a business contract with FedEx so our shipping rate for both parcel and freight was ~50-60% cheaper than their standard rate if you were to try to schedule/ship something yourself as an individual, but we still used UPS time to time if a client needed it overnight and the FedEx truck already made it’s stop for the day. For example, FedEx website would quote ~$1400 to pickup and ship a pallet shipment standard from your residential address (this would include lift-gate truck service), whereas it would cost our company $450 because they have a regular freight truck that stops by our company twice a day. Of course we ship out much higher volume, so that’s where FedEx would set their discount pricing to ensure they profit in the end over a long duration.

If a pallet needed to go somewhere overnight, that price can easily double or quadruple depending if it was domestic or overseas, but nothing much changes from my end other than changing the shipping label type.

With our FedEx contract, we also had a regional manager contact for support if issues occurred with the shipment that had much quicker response time than going through their standard support routes.
