Get rich quick schemes, gambling (speculation), rug pull and pump and dump fraud, dodging taxes, malware ransoms and other illegal activities. Just like it has always been.

Unfortunately while it has legitimate uses, realistically it is used more often for crime and gray area activities. Which is a shame because the technology that enables it is interesting.

Fish sauce is used in curry a lot. A lot of hot sauces are fermented too. Worcestershire is used in a lot of dishes and sauces as well.

I used to think conservatives just had a different view than my own and weren't evil just because we disagreed.

Yes. They. Are.

The more I saw what was seething under the surface, the less I believed that the modern right was worth a damn. And eventually Trump made all that evil that was hiding feel comfortable coming out into the open. The racism, stupidity and utter disdain for rules, common decency and human life in the modern right is sickening. I refuse to acknowledge an ideology that supports the ghoulish things the modern right does as being valid and deserving of a place at the debate table.

Disagreeing on zoning regulations in cities is valid. Locking brown kids in cages, separating them from their parents and shrugging whenever another dozen school kids get filled with so many bullet holes that we can only identify them through DNA tests while threatening their parents with being deported by ICE is evil.

And the conservative mentality that people "dont want to work anymore" is hilariously divorced from reality. There's a chemical company in my area that hasn't bothered to update their wanted ad on job sites for years. The starting wage theyre advertising at the low end of the pay scale is a dollar and a half below minimum wage. They require a BS in chemistry. They cant figure out why no one wants to work for them. That sort of stupidity is EVERYWHERE but its those damned greedy workers that are the problem apparently. You cant fucking survive on what companies are willing to pay and the degree of laziness in management is astounding.

And theres this pervasive mentality on the right where people would love nothing more than to cut wages of people that work in jobs that they dont respect like food service to supposedly lower prices rather than advocate for their own wages to be increased. Thats evil too. Theres a lot of evil shit going on on the right even if you ignore what happened with roe v wade being overturned (yeah theyre attacking women that had miscarriages now) As if there werent enough reasons for me to despise the modern right as it was.

So your issue is with shitty people not atheism or religion.

Dogs have owners/friends. Cats have slaves. And I say that as a cat owner that has had dogs before.

A car is in the 1500 to 2000 kg range

You dont normally interact with rhinos either.

You know what they say: if you have to tell people you are something, you aren't.

It is too late. They have your data and arent going to brainlessly overwrite it with gibberish just because you used a shredder. They're not brain damaged.

You dont understand. By even being there and commenting, they have your data. You cant just edit it out of existence. They dont go "oh woe is me you replaced the text in your post with gibberish so now we are obligated to replace the copy we already have and cant use it to train AI anymore. Foiled again."

Alpha fold use in drug development

I dont think you thought this out OP

I am not clicking a random link without some explanation of what it is. I suspect most people are similar in that regard.

The Carbon footprint of a website is hard to determine and given the examples posted in this thread, I would not trust their conclusions.

Wtf are you going on about? Hating Discovery is the vanilla of star trek opinions.

I dont trust any community that specifically caters to people that were banned from another community and makes a point to have that as part of their identity. Because being banned doesn't just include those that were unfairly banned but also the ones that were rightly banned and the latter will eventually drive out the former or theyll get kicked out again and create another "we were banned" community. I especially dont trust a community like this when ten forward already exists as an alternative.

Like a lot of people, I came here around the API protests at Reddit. Back then Lemmy was filled with "fuck reddit" circlejerking which was made worse by the relative lack of other content. But I have watched this place grow and mature into something I would consider a suitable replacement for the most part. That said, the amount of content here still pales in comparison to Reddit back when I was actually there. As for all the complaints about the culture here, you get what you dont filter and I filter the trash out of my feed.
