  • No Such Thing As A Fish - 30 mins a week where 4 professional trivia compilers and comedians take turns sharing odd facts they've learned over the years

    Hardcore History - like a history lecture from your favorite high school social studies teacher, but compressed into a professionally produced 4 to 10 hour audiobook

    FiveThirtyEight Politics - analysis of political opinion polling in the US. no ideological opinions either way, just strategy and political science applied to current events.

    The Magnus Archives - a found-footage horror fiction anthology series where the real story turns out to be about the character we hear narrating the stories

  • Can confirm.

    I only order off Amazon 4-5 times a year, and almost every time they offer me either a month free trial, a week free trial, or a month for $2.99.

    I just say yes, then immediately go to the account page and set it to cancel at the end of the period instead of autorenewing.

  • Same reason Netflix started making its own shows. Same reason Xbox bought Bethesda and is making Elder Scrolls VI an XBox exclusive.

    Once they have enough market share, they will start making all D&D releases "exclusive" to their horrible walled garden. And that means if you want to play modern D&D, your only option is to put up with their abusive business practices.

  • Its a failure of society that modern credit score reporting exists in the first place.

    Friendly reminder that Equifax lost your data, then tried to charge you for freezing your credit, and not a single person went to jail.

  • Correlation does not imply causation.

    • People who spend more time online will be exposed to more scams, and therefore are more likely to fall for one. If you don't see any scams because you don't know how to open "the internet", you won't see scams you can fall for.
    • Gen Z could just be more likely to self report. Self-reporting fault or failure is less socially acceptable among the culture of the boomer generation. Entirely possible Boomers are just lying or not self-reporting.
  • Tell me more about my opinions and what they are. I don't think you understand what the word nuanced means. Especially if you are proponent of a nuclear scary and scary is bad mindset.

    Just as an illustration, you just told me you didn't like me putting words in your mouth, then 2 sentences later put words in my mouth. I think you need to reevaluate how you interact with others, and try to treat people the way you want to be treated.

  • Nope. The starting point of your and my interaction was you making a snarky meme containing 0 facts that implied anyone who thinks nuclear reactors are scary or have risks are so dumb they can't tell the difference between 2 copies of the same picture.

    Then when I called you out on your juvenile behavior and the emotional nature of your argument, you implied I had no reading comprehension and told me to read your other comments.

    To use your phrase, "the facts are" that it only takes one bad-enough meltdown to potentially obliterate life on the planet, and that makes nuclear power of any kind a VERY complicated topic. Nuclear power CAN be very useful, but it can also be very dangerous.

    Pretending like its a magic bullet is infantile and only harms your cause.

    Don't like my ad-hominem attacks against you? You're getting treated the way you treated all of Lemmy when you posted that dumb meme. Now you know how you made everyone else feel first.

  • Yeah. I'm old and have been on the internet since well before the creation of both Pepe and based. That's why I still use this term. I think we should try to reclaim these things - if we let them change our behavior, we lose.
