And are those fees more than $2450? Asking for a uh... friend.

The Exit, and the Food.
j/k (...except not that:-P)
You can try to find a Chipotle instead, and get one of their delicious burritos?
Taco Smell is best-known for being (a) cheap, and uh... oh also, (b) leading the world in how little meat processed byproduct they can put into something and still call it "beef" (I think the answer is 0% now, but when it started it was like 1/3rd iirc).
You know your digestive tract better than anyone, but I would suggest some kind of a variety pack. Like all Mexican-inspired cardboard food products (Mexico would legit and rightly go to war with anyone daring to call that Mexican food btw:-P), aside from the more special and unique items, it's mostly the same ingredients inside (with varying spices added) but what makes it present different is the crunch factor, which really does impact the experience.
Seriously though, if it were me I would go earlier in the day, b/c putting that stuff into your gut late in the day for anyone over 20 sometimes does not sit well. Though it is... tasty, and you will enjoy trying something different:-P (but no lie, better for lunch than dinner).
Have fun with it!
Bold of you to presume that cats need to use a board for that, rather than possessing that ability innately.:-)
I usually say Twitter/X, but Musk began the process of cancelling the Twitter part, and the part that will continue to get shittier is X :-P.
Like Disney did to Star Wars, he took people's community engagement and feelings of ownership, and... well he just took them. Things don't truly belong to us unless we keep them out of the hands of billionaires - like "our" media, now "their" media. It's a life lesson I suppose.
That may be as well. I was just recalling those PP loans during COVID, which later inspection of who got them was often nefarious.
Rich people learn how to game the system? I'm shocked!
While 99% of the news media at this point is clickbait, this one at least adds new information: "Enshittification... has been named 2023's Digital Word of the Year." The original article did not say that:-).
Also, yes there are ads, but also it's not blocked by a paywall so... checks and balances. Whereas X is basically just fully trash at this point, now that Musk has cancelled Twitter:-P.
The article ends with:
it is only going to get shittier
(in reference to a comment that Musk had said to advertisers to go ‘fuck themselves’, so meaning i.e. X, not necessarily overall, i.e. Fediverse)
Flint, MI would like to have a word with you...
Why wait? Jump now! Hehe, okay so only you know your schedule, it's mostly just a funny phrase (but also: don't sleep on it forever - you don't want to be surprised one day when it disappears overnight with no notice).
For me, it's not just emptiness - it's the site being devoid of content anymore. Like look at r/firefox after the mods left (I forgot which communities got ousted vs. who left voluntarily, but either way that community packed up and followed them iirc). It is all just the most basic of questions "how do I...?", often with later edits "I should not have bothered asking, these people will just yell at you". Just about every post has 1 or 0 upvotes (though more uncommon spikes above 10 do exist, and even rare ones with hundreds), but the titles of the popular posts are all things that are extremely common knowledge - "Mozilla says Apple’s new browser rules are “as painful as possible” for Firefox", "YouTube is loading slower for users with ad blockers yet again", "Will Firefox survive in the browser market?", "Chrome wants to track me? Bye. I use Firefox ...", "Google settles $5 billion privacy lawsuit over tracking people using 'incognito mode' (Re: Switch to Firefox ASAP)." These are things that I constantly hear about on Lemmy.
And even more than that, I dread speaking there after Rexit - the trolls omg the trolls... it's just not fun. Then again, I tended to make posts advertising useful alternatives to Reddit, so you could argue that I brought that upon myself? :-P (edit: although in a community that calls itself by the name r/RedditAlternatives, THAT was the POINT of the discussion that we were TRYING to have there!!)
Yeah Lemmy got much better with v0.19, while Kbin has barely improved visibly at all it seems so I just gave up on it for now.
I still suffer the issue, on both mobile and desktop browser, that literally every time I come back, to pretty much anywhere I have to login again - I cleared cookies a few times but that didn't seem to help. Most instances seem to have that, though I may have an odd selection of them (Kbin, Discus.Online, and StarTrek.website), and there are the occasional days where I have to attempt to make every comment at least twice for it to stick (but at least now if it doesn't go through, you notice, unlike previously where it disappeared into the void invisibly, though I only had Kbin experience back then).
I haven't bothered to research the apps yet - security, stability, ads vs. no, etc. - so all that I'm saying is for the vanilla browsing experience.
Also people report that the creation of new accounts from the mobile browser is barely if at all functional. I haven't tried that myself, but it does seem like the experience varies enormously depending on which method of interface someone is using - and that's going to be off-putting to a migration event, like if something doesn't work it would be better to put up a sign saying "this (often?) doesn't work on a mobile, just go to a desktop computer for this task". Caveat: assuming the desire is to bring in more people who are less technically minded, for the sake of e.g. content creation.
And this doesn't even begin to cover the modding concerns:-).
Oh. Good point. I guess I haven't been in sth like the last 5 years. But even if it costs more now, the food itself is still "cheap" quality, amiright!:-P
