I remember when we used to eat 4 spiders a year. I just checked. Now the number has gone up to 8 before getting debunked again.

I could give the benefit of doubt if it were some cringeworthy high school nerd trying to do a super sentai pose, but this is the guy who owns a metaphorical Nazi bar.

Just excuses. Not like I care, but he’ll never actually own up to this or apologize for being rude to people who called him out.

Even Jesus had his heated moments. Going by the stories, didn’t Jesus fly into a rage and literally flip tables just because he didn’t like seeing people making money in a temple?

As media scrutiny ticked up Friday, Meta began taking down Liv and other bots’ posts, many of which dated back at least a year, citing a “bug.”

Funny how that works. I don’t think the main talking point is the issue that they couldn’t be blocked on Instagram. That is a non-answer to the question of why the decision to unleash these creepy, fake users into the wild was made in the first place. Full fledged features aren’t suddenly mistakes just because they’re getting backlash now. It seems like they’re not sorry and they’re going to keep trying.

Luigi Mangione represents an idea that is uncomfortable to certain people in power. It’s okay to attribute millions of deaths to Hitler when he gives the order to kill and condones the decisions his subordinates make to carry out that order. But they don’t want to let the poors normalize the idea that a healthcare CEO should be considered similarly responsible for many intentional deaths when he gives the order to deny as many claims as possible especially when they are clearly valid and urgently needed. Brian Thompson is responsible for many deaths. It’s not fair to say he isn’t just because he didn’t kill directly with a gun.

I always thought this metaverse crap was just an obvious money-making scheme that preyed on isolated people during COVID-19. They only started developing their metaverse platforms during the pandemic. Of course they all failed to capitalize because the world largely returned to normal while they were still flaunting NFTs and unfinished metaverse platforms that still can’t do better than a private Minecraft SMP with your friends.

“Just use Wine! Just run it in a virtual machine!”

That’s valid. I was thinking more about the nuisances on Tik Tok who peddle straight-up health disinformation.

That’s pretty interesting. This could be the basis of a new weight-loss drug that works by limiting calorie absorption rather than regulating hunger cues.

I’m going to be mildly annoyed if the fat acceptance latches on to this as yet another study validating their belief that they can’t lose weight.

I may have jumped the gun and been sloppy in my phrasing. Let my clarify. I do think that OOP’s rhetoric could have been construed as trolling. They are tying Luigi’s current innocence as a suspect under trial with their assertion that Luigi didn’t shoot and kill. It’s not a sound argument.

Given that phrasing, I think it’s fair for the moderators to act on that comment. We’re all quite sure that Luigi Mangione did kill Brian Thompson. We are simply waiting for the courts to determine the crimes he is guilty of. He is innocent by law for the time being. That’s not the same as flat-out saying Luigi didn’t kill him.

They really messed up when the whole squad got together for that photo op. That’s a powerful image.

The bar is pretty low, but yeah. At least Google provides a pretty good email service. I can’t have the same confidence in a Musk product.

Let me remind you that this will be under the same guy who made his employees yank out server machines and transport them in an unprofessional and insecure manner. Your data would be unsafe with him in more than one way.

Did he actually cast the spell? I think he needs to find a cop and shout the arcane words at them.

Things rich people do to cope with hardship:

• Prayer
• Fasting
• Earning more money in a year than you’ll make in your entire lifetime

This incantation will fail because they didn’t correctly refer to the coin as a “.9 troy ounce silver coin” every time. Also, they didn’t affix it with genuine horse glue.

It’s problematic for Lemmy that the .ml instance gives the impression of a flagship instance since it’s run by the devs. It gives the fediverse as a whole a bad look to outsiders. I speak from experience because it was one of the three recommended to me before I left Reddit.
