Even if trump doesn’t do everything in project 2025, the supreme court picks mean we’re basically ultra fucked. Like, that’s best case.

Which doesn’t matter anyway because he hasn’t been sentenced.

It’s just a completely different use case. It may or may not continue to exist on its own but it will never replace twitter because it does not have the core thing that makes twitter special among social media (the fact that it is essentially “public”). “A bunch of small communities of nerds talking about niche topics” is something you can find friggin anywhere on the internet.

Honestly I find it a little weird that Lemmy is so pro-Mastodon. Like a lot of people when the twitter implosion started I went and parked a username on a few potential replacements. And like a lot of people, when I saw that mastodon was all little specific instances, I didn’t bother because the whole point of twitter is that it’s a big public thing with everybody and everything. I haven’t really seen anybody outside of Lemmy mention mastodon in months. Everyone is going to bluesky.

Looks like a projection set, so no, they’re pretty bad for games.

I know baseball does this in the US. Dunno about football.

Mounds/Almond Joy. Yuck. Always threw those out as a kid (well OK probably gave them to my mother).

Look guys, the law is not code. It is not if(strcmp(speech, “kill”) then return guilty();. There’s this whole concept of mens rea which means a required element of the crime is whether or not he meant it as a threat to her, which you will note requires human judgement (by a jury!) to evaluate. It is highly unlikely that anyone would take this rhetoric, violent and gross as it may be, as a plausible threat against Liz Cheney by Trump.

This really demonstrates what I dislike about Lemmy. Too many people who want to inject their political beliefs into every conversation. Supply side economics is a thing. Whether it works or not is highly subject to debate but it is an entire school of thought in economics.

Work in software project management. People swear pretty regularly. The higher up in the hierarchy you go, the more they swear. If a job gave me a warning for that I might leave because they treat their employees like children.

Seems like a lot of the flaws just have to do with the fact that the real metrics you want to use, which would probably be body fat percentage, are hard to measure accurately at home.

S’fine for myself. I wouldn’t serve Velveeta to a guest.

I made Mac and cheese with Velveeta and ground turkey.

Yeah, that’s more or less how I feel about it. It’s like they say, you can’t go home again.

I mostly sit down when I pee because my cat likes to spend quality time when I’m on the toilet and he gets upset if into in the bathroom and don’t sit down.

Remember manliness is not caring about how other people define manliness.

Kids? Not really. But if I didn’t care about stuff in their life then I don’t think we’re really friends.

Betting markets don’t really have any predictive value. It’s all vibes.

Randomness is often desirable in party games because otherwise it’s usually a small number of people who are competitive and the rest are bored/quit.

The strength of many reddit communities is in the people themselves, and unless you’re really into Linux or star trek, the people aren’t really here.

I recall reading that part of why Japan has more vending machines and more variety is the ownership model. In the US vending machines are typically run by companies that service them and collect the revenue. But in Japan, they’re typically owned by the shops. So shops are more likely to put a variety of products from their store in the vending machines.

I also suspect a higher incidence of social anxiety increases the demand for them in Japan.
