By your logic, if you're a good person but you spend your disposable income on a form of recreation that inefficiently brings positivity to the world, you deserve to be ridiculed and your suffering is justly celebrated.

I built mine from scratch to be my estranged father come back into my life again.

Runs decent but ngl there are better options.

It's not uncommonly used in Buddhism. I don't see it all over the place, but seeing it is completely unremarkable. Just from anecdotal experience I can still say pretty confidently that nobody gives a fuck.

You're saying you think conservative Americans want to stop him?

I have no high regard for the guy, but are you seriously, like seriously seriously, trying to tell people that Jordan Peterson depends on his professional title for... literally anything?

Are you saying that without it, he will lose a non-trivial amount of... anything?

"Bro, do you know what really sucks? Not having best-in-class third-party audited end-to-end encryption so nobody ever finds out about all the shit we're about to get up to. Like, do you even wanna do drugs, bro?"

My first-ever Nvidia card was a 3080Ti. After installation I was genuinely confused and kept clicking around everywhere looking for the real settings panel.

Actually I remember, my older laptop had a MX150 (lol) so I did know all about GeForce Control Panel and Experience—I just thought they were the outdated bargain-basement solution assigned to POS hardware like mine, not worth (understandably) slapping shiny new chrome on.

Subsequently I had automatically assumed without a doubt in my mind that the pandemic card I had paid for in tainted blood would have some uber slick new interface that I couldn't wait to play around with.

Needless to say, my disappointment was immeasurable and my day was ruined.

Your punctuality disturbs me.

If that 3% is made up of an outsized share of power users they might be ok. I'm more worried about the power structure shenanigans that have been going on the past few years.

Uh I haven't but isn't that written by Gary Webb?

Wow forgot that existed. Amazing.

Wow, not a single comment here acknowledging the documented prolific use by the U.S. of agents provocateur to infiltrate and sabotage anti-establishment groups and protests. The only difference between the historic infiltration of environmental movements, civil rights/BLM, etc., and this is that this is right-wing. I'll go ahead and say what all of you are too ignorant or cowardly to say:

Democrats are not your friend.

Republicans are not your friend.

If you're sitting here like a 12-year-old generating your endorphins from a "Yeah! The enemy is so stupid and we're the best!" mentality—and that's most if not every single one of you—you're doing it wrong and you're making it worse. You're the problem.

And Joe Rogan, in this case—not to diminish the culpability of Trump—is absolutely right, but you're all too emotionally stunted to be able to admit it. Get off your infantile, misguided high horse. Standing up for liberal and progressive values is cool, but the current Democratic party does not stand up for those values. Perversely—and it blows mind to say this and to see so many people remain willfully blind to it—the Republican party is currently more liberal then the Democrats. It may only be because standing up against censorship happens to benefit them, but call a spade a spade. Stop being such a bunch of incredibly gullible fucks and look upon the rot growing at the highest echelons of our government. It's not partisan, but its most insidious tactic is pretending to be.

Here's a conciliatory piece of advice to follow, a general rule of thumb that nevertheless works out to be pretty much 100% accurate: everything that Democrats accuse Republicans of is true; AND, everything Republicans accuse Democrats of is true. It certainly is in this case. Trump did and said what he did, AND the FBI and CIA did what they've always done to advance the ruling party's agenda for at least the last half a century. Hell, they fucking did it to Ukraine in 2014. It's not contested information, just obscured history, which you'd know if you'd only paid attention to what they didn't teach you in history class.

On an unrelated note I will say that it's refreshing to be able to write a comment that will likely get buried a thousand feet deep and not give a fuck. Go ahead and do your worst, but I hope Lemmy can be a different place and that you'll do your best to listen to a well-meaning alternative perspective (excuse the language).

I uh... typed it in and it was available?

I believe I read elsewhere that pay and everything else stayed the same which was the point of the trial. The businesses didn't expect to like it but were so impressed with the results that they went ahead and kept it. It was an unqualified win for all parties.

AFAICT it really is as good as it sounds like, no gotchas.

You could scan it and that would easily be the fastest way to actually deal with they problem, minified or not.

hyperbole

noun
A figure of speech in which exaggeration is used for emphasis or effect, as in I could sleep for a year or This book weighs a ton.

I guess they aren't aware all Muslims are fanatics. /s

Even if it's counted, is it even more dangerous, counted using the same metrics? I have no idea, but it's not far-fetched that it's not, at least if we mean American soldiers. Like, it's way more dangerous to be an Iraqi civilian than an American soldier.

"Sarcasm"

Because the points only relate to the post, not you. You can't see your aggregate total from all posts combined, which would otherwise incentivize you to post things that will add to your total "high score".

You still have a minor incentive to post a high scoring comment, but it's only per-comment. If you feel like pleasing the masses, go ahead and play to their wants and needs. You might get a lot of points for it, and it'll feel nice.

But if you wanna tell em how you really feel and put them in their place, you can just not care about your points for that post. It's whatever. There's no danger that your -478 points is going to drag down your total, discouraging you from ever posting something that upsets the status quo.
