Ahhh, so we're gestating our young in the corpses of their mothers now? That seems less than ideal.

Holy moly proper use of the regular past tense of sneak?? I haven't seen that on the internet ever. "I sneaked my way into the concert, but I also snuck several beers into the venue."

"Your honor, although the prosecution has indeed depicted my client as the pathetic soy virgin in exhibit A, meme 4, please watch this 7 episode TV drama mini series that the prosecution wrote and produced for this very case before making your judgement."

"Ur gonna be so mad U big meanie lmao ur be like oh no I'm so angry lol we gonna get u so hard ur gonna be soooo madddddsd lmao."

When did journalism turn into Roblox chat?

Yeah yeah the satanic panic.

He's right! It's worse than I thought...

False. The only thing the masters of the universe care about is defending castle greyskull from the forces of so called evil. If anything, Adam and his bitch band of bourgeois cronies cooped up in their ivory tower would be more the oppressive Egyptians, while the actual savior of the people wields so called "forbidden" holy magic to desperately attemp usurping their eternal tyranny.

And it reeks of avian posting.

I'm sorry but... Length and Units? Actually disgusting. There is only ONE thing that exists, and it is inversely proportional the base rate of growth in half of a circular degree about a complex orthogonal dimension.

Coming from a very car centric city, where losing your license is basically isolating you to your immediate neighborhood, I see where you are coming from. It would be difficult to not be able to drive, I would have to put any amount forethought into my daily schedule (Which is arguably a good thing for me personally, but I digress).

I don't give a fuck about anyone's inability to handle such a powerful tool. Power is proportional to responsibility. If a driver gets into ANY vehicle based accident, IT IS assault and battery with a deadly weapon. If it cannot be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that the error was 100% a mechanical failure, then the driver should be treated as though they INTENDED to use lethal force with their deadly weapon. You should always be held fully accountable for your intent to operate something that you clearly can't be trusted to control.

Yes, those people who can't handle driving would be isolated to their neighborhoods. Tough shit. Think about how dumb the average person is, then realized that 50% of people are dumber than that. Cities need to build their infrastructure to adapt to the lowest common demoniator, not force people to operate way beyond their capacity. Some people suck and they will always suck and there's nothing you can do. They will never learn how to drive, they will never improve, and they will never pass GO to collect $200. To the city Managers/Engineers/Designers need to stop giving every person unrestricted access to a car just because you are incapable of making a city properly. I don't give a fuck if they have to walk 100 goddamned miles to work. If they cannot get to work without respecting and understanding these dangerous and deadly weapons, then you don't get to use them as a crutch when making your designs.

And don't even get me started on fucking gasoline. It's absurd that people can just go get it, then store that shit in their houses in plastic containers. It's absurd that the system allows people that failed high school chemistry to be allowed to handle such a volatile substance.

It's generally known and well understood that bribery is a method one can use to show their appreciation.

People take issue with the inevitable structural shortcomings that are inherent to its function. No one cares about the specific vessel of action that was used.

Here's a list of the beings that live inside of me.

One is an energy being whose sole traits is that it can only live outside.

Grandma did you forget your meds again?

YOURE the burger king not them. Look at them playing with their kids meal toys... It's your crown you know. No no it's -- yeeeesssssss it is mine and I am the only one fit to be king of burgers. Take it!

It is ultimately the same format which does not yield constructive conversation. The conversation is as though OP were speaking on a stage making their statement/announcement and then the audience yells back to them. It functions for some things, most notably sharing popular news - not necessarily journalism, just a glimpse through the eyes of the zeitgeist; dank memes are a form of good news by this definition. It does not function for discussion oriented conversation, since most people don't read the whole thread. The implementation of up and down votes manipulate conversational integrity in weird ways Though that will occur with any type of rating system, I believe the simplicity of the reddit style system yields conversational benefits that are less valuable than how cheap it is to implement. A cheap hack of a system will yield a cheap shoddy output. This leads me to believe a better method exists, we just haven't found it yet.

The emphasis on user control and instance freedom is novel and appreciated, but it has come with a reckless disregard for the dangers of the nowadays well understood echo chamber effect of current social media. There are zero safeguards to prevent Lemmy from shattering itself under any amount of external stress or internal corruption. Organized attacks are a major threat, and there is a nonzero chance of that happening.

Again, all of these are just like long term weaknesses in the structure itself. It doesn't mean it IS going to fail, it doesn't mean things can't be mitigated, I just don't trust that it will stand for a very long time nor will it reach the significance of reddit. Could be wrong, but it looks like Lemmy is capable only of moving around the problems with Reddit instead of being able to actively quell them.

No and not really. Reddit is just past its expiration date. I believe Lemmy suffers from a lot of the same systemic issues and that will prevent it from becoming an actual long term solution. It's just the alpha version. It's better than the prototype, but it's still built on the same fundamentals and will likely suffer a similar type of failure.

It's wild how effective these camera filters are at removing blemishes nowadays.

To build off this comment; it's likely the result of careless design. It is possible to code applications to avoid this issue, but it is technically a Firefox specific issues so it's not something a mobile developer would default to consider.

First they came. (For the communists)

Oh that's super interesting. This opens up a lot of long term attack vectors for piracy/homebrew/emulation.

I can't say as to why things are how they are. It's likely just the usual open source lagging behind; These technologies are fairly new and the corporate stronghold around them is strong.

Shaders are programs that run on graphics cards to act as shortcuts for common graphic scenarios, they are not programs that dictate how graphic cards function. That could clear up some confusion.
