It's almost like the whole thing is a con, designed to siphon all money from the rest of us into the bank accounts of the 1%.
The best part is that when they manage to fuck up on an industrial scale and crash their insider trading money printer, the taxpayers end up bailing them out.
The whole world suffers, and they use the people’s money to buy the dip and profit even more when the fixed game comes back online shortly.
Twice. Spit roasted.
Tariffs feed paycheque to paycheque money from the 99% to the government, which is openly funneling it to the 1%.
Meanwhile they’re manipulating the market on a global scale with the backing of the 0.01% and the wealth of the 99.99% as hostage, allowing them to effectively transfer the savings of the 99% to the 1%.
And it’s just being allowed. These are the fucking bad guys in the movie building a spaceship ark for the elite instead of stopping the SharkWeekCano from destroying the galaxy and I guess everyone missed the messages in the movies to put it mildly.
Reagan only said “trickle down economics “ because pee jokes offend.
Edit: oh shit, I forgot that they’re also taking everyone’s public services with some kinda double-dong by gutting the IRS and firing the civil service. Also moving money upwards to those the IRS can’t even fight for the meager tax the elite won’t pay while taxes will rise at a local level for those that don’t want their towns to burn down or have schools. I guess it keeps the spit stable.
Hey I'm sorta new to lemmy. How are you posting gifs/images? It won't let me do any such thing.
In iOS on my instance sh.itjust.works in the Voyager app, I can hold my finger down on a gif, then I can either copy it and paste it into my comment, or I can add it to the photos app which then makes it available down the road anytime I want because they are all organized into the ‘animated’ category in photos. On MacOS in safari I actually have to right click the gif and save the file to the folder. At this point wherever I am if I am in voyager I then click the ‘picture’ button in the voyager comment toolbar and either browse for my animated photo or browse my folders for the GIF file.
Yeah I use lemmy from the lemm.ee instance on PC and almost never on mobile, so I have no idea what the issue is. Oh well.
Dunno about desktop but for instance on boost it's the third button above my keyboard
Dang. I mostly use lemmy on PC and when I use the image upload button nothing happens. Oh well, not a biggie.
Not entirely the same as uploading, but you can also embed an image with
if that helps.
What is the link of the image you put in?
Cartoon Luigi gif.
I don't know which one you mean, but let's say you found this image of Luigi on tenor (https://tenor.com/nl/view/luigi-gif-1407430845338737317) you have to copy the URL to the actual image which is the following link: https://media.tenor.com/E4gy5Z5X2qUAAAAi/luigi.gif
then you put that in the url place of
[Alt text](img url)so you end up with the following:
if you do that without putting it
between code bracketsyou embed the image:Ah, so image hosts don't work then? I'll try another.
AHA! With imgur, you gotta right click on the image and copy link, rather than just copying the link in the address bar!
Anyway, this is the image that got me perma-banned from Reddit.
Fuck reddit
Yeah. What's wild is I didn't even post the gif on Reddit. I just up voted it and got banned for promoting violence.
Huffman is such a fucking coward.
![image of Luigi] vs [image of Luigi]

I guess the exclamation point (!) is what tells lemmy to embed the link. I wonder if that works with non-image url's?
Edit: Huh... nifty. And that's where my knowledge hits a wall, cause I have no idea what's happening in the background, where one url can be embedded as an image, and the other shows up as a "'obj' box". I just don't understand enough to know what makes an "image" embedable
I have no clue how it is processed, you can link to a community by writing
[!world@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/c/world)And a URL by writing
Also when you write something in bold or italic or
codeit is 'translated' by the backend because the html output is different the the plain text input.But I'm no programmer, so I don't really know.
Thank you; I'ma have to dig-in a little as to what html and markdown are, and how I can understand them better. I always feel like I'm missing some kind of "common knowledge" when it comes to the intermingling of internet/network/program-language. I'm no programmer either, but forever curious
I know how that feels, but don't worry about it. Once you know you know, and when you don't there is probably someone who doesn't mind to tell you
I'm not the savviest, but I think it's kinda like turning a description into a url --->
[description into a url](https://example.com/)I think you just need an exclamation(!) in front of the brackets[] and no description needed between brackets
Now if someone could explain to me what the exclamation(!) does, or why it's needed, I would appreciate it
Let's try.
EDIT - Damn. Still nothing.
Huh, this is what I see
But when I click on the small "obj" box, I can see this image
Both of those embedded images, I saved to my phone and inserted using the Boost app. I wonder if I copy and embed your posted-image-link manually, will you also see just a "clickable 'obj' box"? Let's see...
Maybe it has something to do with the app loading it to an instance's "pictrs" first? That's way above my knowledge though
Edit: I see someone already helped you get it sorted out! Yay, we all learned something today
I don't even get the "obj" box on pc. But yeah, got it sorted. I appreciate everyone being so helpful.
Knowledge is power and it's fun to share!
