Ok smartass you got me. I thought you were having an "Iamverysmart" moment until I tried to investigate and parse what you said. Turns out I'm the moron. Well done.

We live in a beautiful Corpocracy and you will fucking love it, god damn it!! Drink the Disney to distract and calm your weary mind. Consume more and you will feel alive again. Promise! Ignore the crimes of the corporations, without those you wouldn't have The New Thing you adore and you wouldn't be yearning for The Next Thing! You NEED The Next New Thing.

Its fucking sickening. I'm in my early 30s and it feels hopeless. Surely the masses can see the sheer manipulation and control that governments and corporations have over us. Why aren't more people irate that They are raping the Earth to line Their pockets, fucking Us over in the process?

Everyone has been polarised into an "Us vs Them" mindset. Keep us divided and channeling our collective rage at each other, lest we actually find power in our overwhelming numbers. It hurts.

I rarely contribute and the few interactions Ive had on Lemmy have been leagues better than anything on Reddit (or most other social media).

I find most people are here because they want the connection, not to earn internet clout. That seems to push people towards discussion, instead of the white noise I see elsewhere.

Glad it turned out to be a meme and hardware related issue 🤘

Might be a dumb suggestion but have you tried taking a photo with another device of the issue? Borrow a phone or use a laptop webcam and see if you can get it to appear?

My favourite Aussie idiom is "We're not here to fuck spiders." Meaning that we are trying to do some work, stop fucking around.
