My recommendation would be to find a local instance - one that’s closest to you - and sign up for that. I’m not in Atlanta, but I am in Georgia, so I signed up for the yall.theatl.social instance (the server is in Atlanta), and I couldn’t be happier. It’s a smaller instance, but I converse regularly with the admins when I have a question or a problem, and they are accessible and always open to suggestions.

I like it so much that I also use the theatl.social Mastodon instance as my main Mastodon as well. I throw them a few bucks every month to help with costs, and I’m happy to do it.

I would agree with those who say smaller instances are the way to go.

So now iPhones are going to cost 25% more.

It’s definitely Joe Biden‘s fault, Fox News told me so.

…and smell. They’re stuffy and they smell.

Soooooo, zero budget for the FBI then.

Read all about it in this month’s riveting issue of Duh.

You’re missing the point. In this one case a boycott is pretty pointless. Those who can’t afford to go are effectively already boycotting, and those that can afford to go, don’t care about the prices because they can afford it. So how is a boycott going to make a difference? For every show I boycott, there’s two more people ready to buy the ticket and replace me.

Yeah, I know that’s how it will go down. I was just making the point that, if he says he’s not doing something, then he is absolutely 100% doing it. Whether it’s a third term, or a never-ending second, he doesn’t intend to go anywhere. No matter what drools out of his mouth.

If you’re not prepared to make a sacrifice, that’s OK, but at least have the honesty to admit you just don’t care enough about this particular issue.

My point was, if I make the sacrifice and don’t go, somebody else will buy the ticket. So it’s not that I don’t care enough, it’s that it won’t make a difference. There simply cannot be enough of a boycott from the general public to make any difference to Ticketmaster’s bottom line. Only government intervention and anti-monopoly enforcement will, and that isn’t going to happen either with politicians in Ticketmaster’s pocket.

In the end I’m missing out on something that could be my last ever opportunity (in the case of the Micky Dolenz concert I discussed earlier), while not losing Ticketmaster a dime.

Is that what he said? Then he is definitely seeking a 3rd term.

Anazisayswhat?
