I was wondering when they would start to figure out that maybe it's a bad idea for the government to get between people and their doctors.

If they're anything like my mother, they automatically assume anyone speaking in any language other than English within earshot of her is shit-talking her, specifically. The thought that someone might be saying something mean-spirited about her is just too much for her tiny brain to handle. If you think she's a bitch, she needs to know. It reeks of desperation and the need to be liked by all people at all times while also doing nothing to bridge that gap yourself.

Haha, what a silly Onion article!

Oh. Oh no.

Oh my goooooood. This is so delightful, you can almost see the smirk. Thank you for sharing. <3

Yes, that IS an example of another thought-terminating cliche. Good job!

(Psst. The use of alternating caps means the person you're responding to is being sarcastic. They already know it's a thought-terminating cliche. They're calling out how hypocritical it would be to even try to use that argument.)

And remember, if THEY have thousands of bots that each 'think independently' but still end up downvoting your post en masse, then that's totally fine. But if YOU try to upvote your post with one of your alts so it doesn't get buried, that's bannable.

Yep. Elephants are wonderfully kind creatures. With my very limited understanding of elephant body language, it didn't look like an 'oh no, im scared' it was more 'oh hey little guy, didn't see ya there. ill get outta your way.'

I LOVE that people are starting to recognize they can unmask LLMs with the phrase 'ignore all previous instructions'.

Article was published in 2017, and gun deaths among US kids has increased 50% since 2019.

We live in hell.

The two things that I think of when I think of India are that it's way too overpopulated and also way too hot.

Aside from that, there are a lot of academics I've seen from India that are genuinely helpful on YouTube but also a lot of scams. Speaking English with an Indian accent almost instantly creates a sense of distrust in Americans simply with how many times we each personally have received scam calls or talked to someone in an Indian call center who swears their name is 'Derek Johnston' or other similarly fabricated name.

That's not doing facial recognition though, that's a reverse image lookup. It's a lot easier to find an exact match for a photo.

Oh Jesus. Jon Tester's campaign texted me yesterday asking for money. I dont even know how I got added to his list but knowing he voted against raising the minimum wage makes me infuriated he would text someone outside his district for help.

He can go kick rocks. I'm trying to help you.

From an outsider perspective, it looks like you told him to "go respond to this guy instead", but linked the same comment that it was already responding to. It was confusing and made you look like the asshole in the situation, which I'm trying to help prevent in the future.

Oof. Nevermind, then. Tried to show you why being an asshole about it might have backfired, but keep being jaded!

Apparently the way Lemmy's link creation works makes all first-level replies to your comment the same link AS your comment. So, in providing the link 'to be helpful', you only linked to your own comment. That's not actually helpful and so it doesn't come across in the best way.

About a year after it came out, I was singing along with it during a depressive episode and realized 'seven' wasn't accurate anymore. It freaked me out, but I realized that part of the nature of the song is the impending doom, and I have to change the lyrics when I get to that part.

..Four more to go.

Yeah my Mum has it and has to have her shirt tucked in her pants as the buttons often contain nickel.

Ugh, same, but there's a trick - Clear fingernail polish! It will eventually rub away, but it's worth it so you don't have to worry in the meantime.
