  • "Even tomatoes need a vacation ... we are unable to add tomatoes to our food," read notices pasted at two Burger King India outlets.

    So you’re telling me even Schrödinger’s fruit/vegetable gets more vacation time than me?

  • I’m no expert but I think it’s the same reason ads are full of hot people: association. If you see an ad for a Baconator enough times next to a neo-Nazi spewing hate speech you’re going to start to link the two in your mind.

  • What IS big solar hiding… just asking questions!

  • Maybe someone with an in-depth knowledge of the printer industry can answer this but, why on earth doesn’t some other company show up and undercut this bullshit with this revolutionary sales pitch: “a printer that actually prints stuff.”

    Like I feel like an overpriced decades-old relic of technology like a printer should have seen more competition given everyone is unsatisfied with the current situation.

  • Setup a webcam and wait for Christmas.

    …or call animal control.

  • Yeah not impossible to get good recs, I just find them more often to be not that helpful/interesting. Also they really soak up everything, so if I watch one video about solar panels or something my feed is suddenly 8 deep-dives into what BIG SOLAR doesn’t want me to know

  • Alright we’re putting you on a strict diet of 8 hours of Kpop exposure therapy no exceptions.

    But seriously like most have said, the main features that differentiate faces can differ all over the world so it will come with time, just do your best and it will get easier.

  • Looking awfully smug about the hottest month in human history, what a jerk

  • No wonder they’re more worried about climate change /s

  • True but including their addresses and reposting those along with misinformation about their politics to a board known for violent rhetoric is a major escalation intended to threaten the jurors

  • I think part of the issue is we’re kind of taking about two different words here.

    Liberal as in someone who believes in economic neoliberalism generally means someone who supports free-market capitalism in some form. This is what socialists/communists generally mean when they’re insulting someone for being a liberal online.

    Liberal, in the US political sense, has also changed to mean something more like socially liberal that “considers government as a crucial instrument for amelioration of social inequities (such as those involving race, gender, or class).” Which is what people I think mean when they say conservatives vs. liberals in the US, or when self-described progressive dems/democratic socialists will still claim to be very liberal or in favor of liberal policies.

  • Liking it a lot! I was thinking the other day about how we’ve pretty successfully made the jump away from every other thread being about Reddit or technical issues to having many general interest communities and some niche ones that are continuing to diversify.

    Obviously we’re not nearly at the scale of Reddit yet (considering the entire Fediverse could fit inside some singular subreddits) but I’ve tried to make up for less content by making more myself and actually engaging with people instead of lurking.

  • Haven’t read the whole report but I believe that pretty much all of these charges are for conduct between Election Night 2020 and Biden being seated as president Jan. 20, 2021, meaning Trump was president at the time.

  • While this mode of access is important, usage is tiny—on average, each recording in the collection is only accessed by one researcher per month.

    Like come on there is no profit here, it is literally just for the public benefit and so that we can learn from a deeply important era of recording before the recordings literally turn to dust.

  • Honestly, probably Star Wars’ fault for the popularization of the blue kind of glitchy hologram specifically. Would be interested to hear if anyone can name any pre-SW hologram effects.

  • Yeah I’ve really loved the culture of niche instances like startrek.website, lebowski.social, sffa.alliance. I think they provide an interesting and friendly local feed, have a more general federated feed, and then of course you can have your own subs. I say go for it!
