So you want to create a human exploitation / profit maximising system?
It doesn’t have to be that way. At its core, the idea of an app that can connect people who need a service with people who can provide that service is good; it’s just the over-monetization that makes it awful.
In a just world? Inmate.
Also maybe helpful for people with traumatic chest injuries that make it difficult, painful, or internally harmful to breathe normally.
My first thought, too, was “That’s an odd choice of wording”, but… it’s exactly what it sounds like.
[…]But when the bill stands it looks positively inflated, almost as if the video generator used to make Cuomo’s ad was trained on MPREG fetish art of the bill and not the original cartoon itself. The thick and luscious red lips are present whether the bill is leaning or standing.
Towards the end of the ad, an anthropomorphic phone with a ChatGPT logo wanders into the scene. Standing next to the pregnant bill, I could not but help but think that the phone is the father of whatever child the bill carried.
My observation led to an argument in the 404 Media Slack channel and opinions were split. “It does not seem pregnant to me,” said Emanuel Maiberg.
Jason Koebler, however, came to my defense. He circled the pregnant belly of the cartoon bill and shared it. “Baby is stored in the circle area,” he said.
I’m sure there’s some external influence, too. My corpse tolerance would be a lot different if it’s extremely hot outside than if it’s chilly. If I’m at risk of heat stroke, I’d maybe even swim with a corpse making audible noise. If I’m physically on fire, I definitely would.
Gotcha, thanks for the context.
Maybe the real question is, “How large would a corpse have to be to stop you from swimming in the pool?”
Why are they putting Israel and Israeli in quotes? Are they implying that it wasn’t actually Israelis perpetrating this, or that it isn’t actually Israel performing the investigation? Or is this some political statement I’m not privy to?
Well, the fact that 87% of the respondents were from Canada already proves that it isn’t representative. Was the survey posted to lemmy.ca, perhaps?
I don’t have a better survey to share, but I think we could probably do better than this if we re-ran the survey now and made sure it was publicized on all major instances / communities.
Oh, man. This one is going to be a smash hit on Lemmy. This is definitely your target audience.
Velcro on the back of the clipboard and on the side of the cart? Stick the clipboard to it for easy retrieval, and you don’t have to carry a bag.
Sounds like the solution is for you to just start your own instance, create your own ‘free speech zone’ communities, and engage in a ‘censorship-free’ policy there. Personally, I prefer to stay as far away from instances hosting, for example, CSAM and unbridled hate-speech as I can, and the current federation system handles that quite well.
Maybe my lack of understanding stems from a misunderstanding of OP’s post… which to be fair, I found fairly difficult to parse, and based on their responses to your and other posters’ replies, I strongly suspect that’s a ‘them’ problem, not a ‘me’ problem, as it seems everyone else is having an equally hard time understanding what they’re actually trying to say.
I just want to be clear that it is a lack of understanding and not an attempt to be antagonistic. I have no inherent problem with you; we have strongly differing views on a number of important topics, but we seem to be able to co-exist on Lemmy (and even post in the same communities) just fine, which… seems to be a counter-point to OP’s post? But maybe I’m just still misinterpreting what that point actually is.
What I say isn’t censored
What you say aligns with what’s considered acceptable viewpoints on that instance. Take those views to another instance that aligns with different views and you’ll be censored, just like someone expressing dissenting views on lemmy.ml will be. I’m not sure I understand what point you’re trying to make here.
If you want an instance that doesn’t defederate from any other instance, you’re going to be left with very few options, and those are going to be the ones hosting some incredibly, incredibly questionable content.
Sometimes people say Lemmy.ml is “high censorship,” but I’ve never been censored here.
Oh, come on. Clearly it would be, because they have a vegetarian option, which you’d know if you read the article. Or did you know that and just felt you needed to comment anyway to push an agenda?
OH, are they maybe talking about all of the inflatable animal costumes worn by protesters in the US? There’ve been a lot of pictures of that recently due to the No Kings protest over the weekend.
@OP If this is what you mean, it’s part of a protest movement. It’s a symbol, and it’s making a mockery of the narrative that the protesters are violent extremists. It was popularized by one individual in a frog costume standing up to riot-geared police, and it took off in a big way last weekend all over the country.
Because we find it enjoyable; what more reason does anyone need to engage in an activity?
Wonder how that conversation went. “We can’t use Slim Shade, it’s too close to Slim Shady, Eminem will sue. I know, what about Swim Shady? That’s much better.”
