I definitely avoided Lemmy the first go-round with the API fuckery because it seemed from the outside like basically just a tankie protest Reddit in a similar way to how Voat was just a neo-Nazi protest Reddit. To the Lemmy devs’ absolute credit, they don’t push new users toward any of those, though.

I thought one day after having had a Mastodon for some time that I might not have given Lemmy a fair shake, so I went back and ended up finding that most instances are basically normal Reddit fare but honestly less shitty than Reddit proper (there’s a trade-off that posts are less frequent and that small, niche communities can attract unwanted attention by having their posts almost immediately show up in ‘all’).

Literally just always projection. They say “no you” so when they do it, it looks to an underinformed outsider like it’s just mud-slinging back and forth, and it looks to a true believer like leveling the playing field.

“Tattoos. Coke. And chronic stress. These were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect line cooks. But Head Chef Marco accidentally added an extra ingredient to the concoction: Chemical Gay.”

Hence “4+”, because I agree with you wholeheartedly.

When I told people that literally every aspect of life will be worse under Trump, I absolutely meant it. Republican poison will seep into literally every aspect of our lives. And this is exactly what I mean when I say “everything is political” to those who only single out a handful of hot-button issues as “political”.

With the rise of fascism in the US, just keep “everything is political” in the back of your mind for the next 4+ years, and if you don’t believe it by then, I don’t know what to tell you.

I was making a sarcastic analogy aimed at how dumb the original commenter’s request was. I do agree with you.

I know this story didn’t happen because there’s no such thing as “too many tamales”.

Ngl, this article feels bloviating bordering on AI-generated and/or a padded high school essay. Here’s the relevant Wikipedia article. For instance, by the way:

This event underscores the complex relationship between catastrophic environmental changes and evolutionary processes, offering valuable insights into the resilience and adaptability of life on Earth. [thank you, obligatory ‘Conclusion’ paragraph from all my phoned-in high school essays.]

The Carnian Pluvial Event, also known as the Carnian crisis, has left its mark in geological records across the globe, suggesting a widespread environmental impact. [no shit it had a widespread environmental impact??]

Not only that:

According to witnesses, Bossio said, the 17-year-old was walking away from a separate altercation with a male Harris supporter when he struck Tomasko and knocked her to the ground.

He did it because he was pissed at a male supporter but was too big of a wuss to throw hands with someone who could plausibly fight back, so to solve that, he sucker-punched an old lady. They’re not just abusive garbage, they’re pathetic cowards.

Listen, if you can’t tell me, in detail, the plan the bomb squad has to defuse the bomber’s bombs, then I’m just going to have to assume the bomb squad is incompetent and vote for the bomber threatening to blow everyone up.

“Please waste your time and make me look credible by dignifying my utter ridiculousness with a legitimate response, thanks.”

Waiting for the article from the NYT about how this is bad for Harris’ polling with police officers.

An infinite amount of monkeys each given an infinite amount of time would produce all infinite strings possible on a typewriter (this includes ones that just happen to be terminated with a neverending substring of blank spaces, i.e. one where the monkey stops or presses whitespace keys and nothing else an arbitrary number of times).

If a cure for cancer exists and is expressable through language, they would not only produce one, but it would be there in every single language transliteratable to a Latin script; it would be there in ASCII art; it would be there in literally every text-based form imaginable. Of course the trouble would be sorting the infinite wheat from the infinite chaff.

Edit: https://libraryofbabel.info/ for the finite strings of 3200 characters.

The FBI disclosed this to CBS, meaning it’s plausible the specific videos weren’t shared by the FBI.

It’s a long read, but it’s a damn good one.

Iowa gets 6 electoral votes, same as Nevada, for those curious.

Edit: addendum: “wtf”

Jellyfish are cnidarians, a phylum which also includes corals and sea anemones. Jellyfish are a specific lifecycle stage of medusozoans (their own subphylum), while corals and sea anemones are anthozoans (another subphylum of Cnidaria).

So yup, they are polyps before sexual maturity. And you’ll find they’re more closely related to corals than they are to members of any other phylum.

Edit: I highly recommend that anyone who wants to get lost in the world of marine invertebrates check out WoRMS and then follow along in parallel on Wikipedia as you navigate the tree.

Having a 0 as the condition for a ternary operator seems redundant.
