A hospital that's still standing with a bunch of burnt cars in the parking lot, while some people claim "80% destruction" and "500 dead" after taking a photoshoot in a corner of the parking lot, surrounded by like a dozen dead kids.

It's a tragedy. It's also BS, just which way.

I've heard someone claim 80% of the hospital got destroyed... followed by footage from the inside of the (still standing) hospital.

We already have microplastics coming down with the rain, what's a few prions on top of that.

When you have a loved one pass away... and you get forced to pony up $10k for a basic service, cremation in a nice casket, and a pretty expensive "basic" urn for the ashes, because the funeral home won't let you use anything cheaper like a pine box or a shroud, with the only choice being between an "eco gas" cremation in your own city vs. a $2k cheaper "non eco" one a city over... you'll understand why people call funeral homes parasites and look for alternatives.

nursing home with piles of corpses

Funeral home. People tend to come already dead in there.

In office there would be plenty of smell talk, coffee breaks, diddling with smartphones and other ways to relax in between

But don't you miss the smell and all the diddling...? 😛

that blog disappeared into the aether

Out of curiosity... before, or after Archive.org?

So like, hypothetically, how much would one have to steal to get a 350... or being a Loch Ness Monster would be enough?

Suicide by cop vet, you say? That bear needs counseling!

Sure there can be actual conspiracies, but they also usually come with accompanying evidence and more than hunches, hindsight, or temporally related events.

Evidence is what turns a "conspiracy theory" into either a "proven conspiracy" or a "debunked conspiracy". Without the former, there would be none of the latter... not sure how is that hard to understand.

The word literally means "good death", meaning for a good reason. Consent is one such reason, terminal illness is another, stealing gummy bears... is not.

If I look through the modlog, I don't see the particular post you mention

Yeah... I've been looking through the modlog, and can't find neither that, nor the politicalmemes ones. I think it was about a week or two ago, so it's not easy to parse (or maybe I'm doing it wrong).

just means that sometimes a technical rule violation doesn't warrant a removal of a post

If it's supposed to mean that, why not just write that? Or, instead of "rules", maybe call it "guidelines", if they're supposed to be interpreted on a case by case basis.

Or rather... the tokens were held on a sidechain created in collaboration with FTX... yes, that FTX, the one that "misplaced" a bunch of billions of dollars, and for a long time it took a somewhat elaborate way to convert Reddit community points (Moons, Bricks) into USD.

A couple months ago, after the API debacle, the tokens got listed on Kraken... and their value took a quick nosedive.

They "IPO-ed" them, and it failed, so now they're slashing them.

The 'right' people will go somewhere else, Mt. Everest isn't going underwater anytime soon, there's plenty of places for the 'right' people to relocate their summer vacation mansions.

People holding the levers have backup bunkers in New Zealand... take a guess why.

"Humanely" implies a reason that isn't just because it behaved not how you wanted it. That's called "sacrificing" or at best "killing", like when you want to eat steak but the cow insists on breathing.

There are over 300k lemmy users, so that would be an average of 300. You can find plenty of instances with between 100 and 1000 users.

You're conflating "conspiratorial thinking" with "conspiracy theories".

Conspiracies are a real thing, they happen all the time (and most are punishable by law); conspiratorial thinking is people coming up with, and believing, conspiracies no matter how impossible they are, which is way different from actual conspiracies.

"Conspiracy theories" just happens to be a term that can be used in both cases, it doesn't mean all of them are impossible.

I get mod overload, I get different communities with different rules, but these handwavy approaches that allow misapplication of one's own rules, don't lead to anything good.
