At least they've stopped forcing IM'ing into everything... Haven't they?

You can call it what you want. But Lemmy does not represent the general populace. Or Reddit. Or Twitter/X. Or Facebook.

This isn't a real place. And it gets tiresome decade after decade seeing people shocked_pikachhu.jpeg when it turns out their online communities of choice aren't the majority opinion.

In niche online communities, yes. Among the general population, no.

Edit: obligatory related PBF

I'm not saying you are right or wrong, but if we suspend voting for ~1/3rd of our adult population, then what we are practicing is no longer a democracy.

Which is the flaw of social media science these past few years. Theories evolve as new data is presented and new hypotheses are formed. The average twitter denizen won't have that, no sir, and will with glee smack you with an outdated textbook with equal zeal as a Bible basher.

Valve is one of the few companies I trust these days. That trust is Valve's to lose, not any other competitor's to gain

So much this!

Stepsister. So when I get a notification when I'm away from home that it's stuck, I giggle instead of raging

Graham Lineham was controversial for years before he was 'cancelled'. A prime example of a talented writer who needed a PR team to keep him away from the general public.

Father Ted, Black Books, IT Crowd. These are all gems that I always enjoy rewatching.

Ian Watkins, lead singer of the band Lostprophets. Never read the court transcripts of his crimes, they really are that horrible and will ruin you for some time.

I'm in the exact same boat

Careful, speak against the "Electric Rocket Man Bad" narrative online and your life is over :/

Indeed. Apollo I didn't land on the moon. Even after building on 20 Gemini missions. Apollo 11 was the iteration that landed on the moon.

It certainly is low... to the ground

Personification?

Do people read this headline and believe that this is a design flaw? That of all Teslas sold and driven anywhere in the entire world since they were first sold, none have ever been in rain?

There was major flooding around where this Tesla was. Idiots obviously drove it in flood water or it got submerged while parked. This is an insurance problem, not a click bait "herrrr derrrr Elon so stupid" problem.

And if they are stupid enough to not have had insurance on a brand new car, this is a "point and laugh at the idiot crying to the press" problem

Same username as someone that sensationally abused everyone at Discuit when they called out them cherry picking single point of view news sources and posting them in inappropriate communities.
