I’m completely appreciate that it’s the reason I put it in italics, I was trying to convey sarcasm but acknowledge that I may have been far too subtle.

I find it incredibly fascinating that in the over nine hours, since this has been posted, nobody has taken up the opportunity to post another source that backs up this reporting they just continue to attack the critique

That would be literally devastating if I had cited Wikipedia itself instead of using it as a way to point you to a long list of citations from far more authoritative sources without wasting my time typing them all out again.

Good effort though.

A site or source has to earn the credit before it can be discredited.

You can attack the one making the critique all you want and it doesn’t establish actual credibility for the original source. The grayzone’s weaknesses in misleading coverage and sympathetic coverage of authoritarian regimes is well noted in academic journals and other sources cited the references on their Wikipedia page.

My wife and I are some weird combination of this. She’s a local doctor and we routinely see people that recognize her that she can’t acknowledge first.

After volunteering multiple days in the lunchroom at my kid’s elementary school last year and working in a high school media center this year I’m a bit “that friend” but in a more creepy way because I know everyone’s kids, but not their parents.

Hardcover is my favorite as well (though I’m still tracking in StoryGraph and Goodreads mainly because Goodreads does it automatically from Calibre). My only issue with Hardcover is that it’s got the worst book database so far but that’s a relatively easier fix with services like openlibrary. My link is in my profile for both.

I’d second murderbot by Martha Wells or the Laundry Files by Charles Stross starting with The Atrocity Archives.

I’m struggling to get through the first of the Thieves’ World anthologies. I generally struggle with anthologies or short story collections because the character and the writing styles change so I can’t really be build up any momentum. The stories are generally enjoyable and it’s something that’s been on my reading list for a long time because one of the short story characters is one I really enjoy.

Great reader, by the way, kobo makes by far the superior device currently for a dedicated reader.

It shouldn’t be that surprising, Margarine Traitor Greed kept showing off Hunter’s hog in committee meetings. Where do they think he got it?

I can too. I put my hand on the input device and the signals my brain sends translates that into the movement of the mouse to a specific location on the screen.

!Arctic@lemmy.world is my current favorite replacement for Memmy.

I have been putting the rice in the phone. That must have been the problem.

Weird how bringing up really old statements and positions up as a reason not to vote for someone is ok for the people you don’t want to vote for, but it’s bad when it’s the people you support.

Weird picking a genocide denier who made enough controversial statements Bernie pulled his endorsement before Cenk tried to Uno Reverse it by claiming he didn’t accept any endorsements.

I’m 43 and I’m not sure you’d want me on a fire hose either.

I’ve helped care for multiple older adults though between mine and my wives families. and there’s a lot of variability in that age group. My wife’s dad just passed away at 64, his dad passed away last year at 95 and was super fit and clear minded until cancer started to beat his ass in 2020 and his mom is 87 and and walks miles each day and is incredibly fit and active and mentally sharp.

At that age, it’s quite possible for some older adults to still be incredibly capable of some strenuous activity, but those aren’t the ones eating hamberders and diet coke every meal.

Hopefully this gets sports out of the news app. I rather use that spot for the crossword personally and I hate that those tabs are unchangeable.

No one near me sells oofos, I can go to 3 stores nearby and buy a pair of Hokas that I can also wear at the Gym instead of needing a separate pair of Gym shoes.

If you have plantar fasciitis, it can really help with the added support.
