If a gathering seems like maybe a host gift situation but maybe not, skip presents for the human hosts and get something for their pets. Picking out wine for a gift would give me hives, everyone will be much happier with treats for the dogs.
You assume they care about truth as an ideal to uphold.
Their optimization model is set to maximize power and wealth for their people. Truth is a tool to use or discard as needed in reach of their goal. It makes perfect sense, just not within the logic and morals framework you or I would use.
I guess for a person who screenshots places they want to go.
90% of my screenshot roll are of horror movies I want to watch. Google will be planning vacations to abandoned houses and Antarctic research stations. Yaaay.
Where are the Luigi hot takes on Lemmy? My feeds in Lemmy and other are depressingly sparse on Luigi content.
I get one YT channel pushed to me claiming Luigi has good odds of a mistrial because of how the cops detained him. Lol, not likely but I applaud the tireless optimism it takes to think that.
I can't smell bad milk either. Also can't taste it.
I learned just how bad it was when I polished off a bowl of cereal, made a bowl up for my Person with the same milk I'd just consumed, and they spit it out thinking I was playing an awful "prank" on them. I had to convince and demonstrate that no, I can't detect spoiled milk until it's visibly bad.
I'm in the same boat; I can't smell spoiled milk. Partially that, partially I don't really like dairy milk that much, I drink plant-based milks now. When I open a new container I mark the date on it with a sharpie. Then I throw out any remainder after 14 days (or whatever the bottle says plus some).
I use Voyager. Lockout specs for me when selecting an app were ability to apply a custom tag to users, and firmly holding my default view/sort settings.
I started on Boost for Lemmy after using Boost for Reddit. But I was having some issues with it and it's not actively updated anymore. Not sure if the creator is done with the project or just busy with something else, but I just checked and it still shows the last app update was in July 2024.
I don't scambait in general. One, I have so many options for entertainment that give me more joy than responding to scammers. Two, I assume much like robo phone calls, the initial communication itself isn't the scam, it's to see who responds so their contact info can be put on a list for further targeting.
Do you know anyone who actively uses Facebook anymore? Not Instagram.
I'm in the US, East Coast, and know no one here who does. I believe I still have one aunt, ages 55+, living in the Midwest, who still uses it. She's very much the stereotype, she's been sucked into believing COVID is a conspiracy, all immigrants are dog-eating rapists, and trans people are going to break in to watch her pee in her home bathroom. She represents the average US Facebook user in my mind.
A male colleague was upset he saw a new, wrapped tampon inside another colleagues purse the other day. Like, stopped in his day to complain out loud levels of upset. When he could have just ... moved along or even not peeked inside her purse sitting on her desk.
Of course women are and still will face our very existence being censored. Men are the default, women are "other", and always at the whim of men for just how much they will be allowed to exist in public.
