The Ghost of ÉmilieMake a "positive music" thread. #Reminder
@frankie I'm out driving people right now. Waiting for a customer to come outside.
@frankie They're grocery shopping. I have to pick them up in an hour.

I've only seen them jumping sideways, like a pendulum! 
in videos, of course!

@frankie There's an entire culture surrounding customizing cars like that. Everything from the engine, to the suspension, to the bumpers, to the decals are all custom, usually done in a body shop. They're very expensive.
@frankie There can be music there, and lowriders will often try to "bounce with the beat." That's why they do that jumping thing.
@frankie It can be bad for the car, though, if the bumper crashes down on the ground, so you have to be careful.
I can't believe how immoral that is. These BMW owners *buy* these cars (the cars are theirs, they own them), and then greedy BMW finds a way to siphon off even more money from them, and since it's a subscription service, they'll never stop paying for it.
What's worse is that they're not actually getting anything for paying that $18 a month. *BMW* is taking something away, then charging for it.
Before we had these "internet of things" devices / products (#IOT), it would've been impossible to do what they're doing. But because corporations are so greedy, they abuse the power the internet gives them. They use it to take people's money.
If you're going to take my money, corporations, you at least have to give me something for it. You can't charge me for things I already own... Even so, that's what they're doing. 🤦♀️
@frankie Good morning! 💌🤍
@lydiaconwell If you somehow existed without ever having met or seen anyone else, how would that make you feel? #ThoughtOfTheDay
@thebiologist1117 night-o 👋❤️
Rokosun@thebiologist1117 They appear as normal hashtags in mastodon web, only #fedilab has this problem of interpreting it as a hyperlink. And yes all hashtags act like links in fedilab 😐
@thebiologist1117 I think this is a new bug, I'm not sure how long it has been like that though. Maybe it only happens with hashtags from misskey, I'm tagging #fedilabbugs here.
