Actually this. Most permanent marker comes off with alcohol. If you ever accidentally write on a whiteboard with permanent marker, just wipe it with rubbing alcohol, let it sit for a few seconds, and then wipe it again and it comes off essentially like dry erase.

I still use Sync because I'm stubborn and too lazy to learn anything new.

It makes it more of an uphill battle. This will absolutely be used to justify further criminalizing pro-Palestine speech and public demonstrations.

Video is all over the news of this happening. Suffice to say the conservatives/Israelis are now winning the propaganda war in the US with this event.

Only 1 person I've ever tagged, who posts content I'm not interested in seeing, but I don't feel like they deserved a straight-up block since they're still active in discussions elsewhere. My app allows me to filter them without blocking them so I don't see their posts but I still see their (default hidden) comments that I can open, so I just have a tag to remind me why.

Recurring trolls I just block, so I don't even see them to necessitate tags to begin with.

I am glad someone else noticed the painting! I had a good laugh when I saw it.

I'm almost positive the painting is supposed to be the count himself, painted either before he became a vampire or just made to look like he wasn't a vampire.

If you're interested in paintings, there's a cool sidequest in Cheydinhal worth checking out.

I do, those are definitely still temperatures.

But there are 31 temperatures

Title made me think of one of my favorite videos.

Fuck. Without the 196 grants, who will be funding my memes now?

To be honest, it wouldn't surprise me if this is meant to be interpreted as "You're taking too long to finish."

I guess the logic is that it's a subsystem of Windows for the purpose of running Linux apps.

Agree though that it's a confusing name. I remember thinking the same thing about Windows Subsystem for Android (the compatibility layer to run Android apps in Windows)

From my understanding of how they operate, it's less "Everybody is lying except this one source" and more "Everybody in my bubble appears to be saying these things, so it must be true."

The strategy utilizes armies of bots and bad actors whose purpose is to infiltrate and influence specific demographics on social media into accepting the Russia-supported narrative. The people who buy the narrative will then in turn parrot it to other members of their social circles to legitimize it. So when the western media outlets and elected officials who took Russia's money repeat these same ideas, they are more easily accepted as true.

I am not PugJesus but maybe I can fill in context.

Odysseus: Legendary hero of The Odyssey by Homer. Odysseus famously lied to a cyclops who had captured him to make the cyclops believe that his name was "Nobody", and so when Odysseus took an opportunity to blind the cyclops and escape, the cyclops could only say "Nobody did this/Nobody is escaping" or something to that effect when he went to get help, which went ignored.

Orpheus: Another Greco-Roman mythological figure, a musician who was skilled at playing a lyre. In one myth, his wife Eurydice died, and so he set off to the underworld to find her soul and bring her back to life. He visited Hades and played some tunes, and Hades was impressed enough to strike a bargain that he would be able to retrieve her soul and guide her back to the world of the living as long as he swore not to look at her until they arrived. Things went well enough basically right up until the very end when he had one moment of doubt and looked back at her, at which point she vanished back to the depths of the underworld forever.

"Liar" = Odysseus, "Lyre" = Orpheus

"Looking back (Orpheus), Nobody (Odysseus) found this funny."

Propaganda is a hell of a drug.

All of the Russian state-sponsored misinformation campaigns have probably paid for themselves ten times over with how strongly they've succeeded in tipping the scales of geopolitics in Russia's favor.

Found the full statue if anyone else was curious what the whole thing looked like:

Workers and the customers. Walmart does have a captive audience in some regions where they priced all local businesses out of competition and they're often the cheapest option available for lower-income shoppers without much disposable income.

Lemmy is also primarily used by super nerds who don't care about sportsball. Not enough normies here compared to Reddit.
