Tired as Orwellian comparisons are, it’s hard to ignore how much this reeks of a Ministry of Truth.

One could even say that’s an art of a deal, ay?

Here I am, snorting my wife awake at 2 am because of an unexpectedly hilarious cock joke

With everything going on right now, the fact that I still feel physically sick reading things like this tells me I haven’t gone completely numb yet. Just absolutely repulsive.

Love this! There are a couple of extensions that do similar around the web but something similar for social circles was missing. Great solution.

This has, disappointingly, always been the inevitable truth. The same technology that propels us also further binds us. Today, it’s facial recognition. Well before that, our phone and web data, license plate scanners, employee badges, credit card usage could reasonably track and expose us.

The tech itself isn’t harmful, it’s how it’s used that causes harm. People need and absolutely deserve protection - perhaps through legislation. The unfortunate thing is that responding to hysteria only handicaps technology we don’t yet fully understand.

Ngl, started reading the headline and thought this was going to be a tax on heavy people to combat the threat posed by obesity…

“We cannot forget because we cannot learn from past mistakes we do not know exist.”

“I come with the understanding that I did not reach these professional heights on my own, that people of all races, people of courage and conviction cleared the path for me in the wake of the horrible tragedy that snuffed out the brief lives of those four little girls inside this sacred space,” she said. “I’ve come to Alabama with a heart filled with gratitude, for unlike those four little girls, I have lived, entrusted with the sole responsibility of serving our great nation.”

Soaring and beautiful rhetoric that gave me chills.

You underestimate my wife’s gaffe potential

I would be the oblivious idiot to buy it…broken egg in the dozen? Mine. Moldy blue/black/straw-berry in the pack? Yes, please. Moldy bread? Melted ice cream? Scooped it up too.

And even if it stays small, the quality and community here is thriving. Sure, we have our trolls and junk but they don’t have nearly the influence or visibility as…ahem…other familiar platforms.

Oh no!!! What entitlement spending scapegoat will the GOP turn to now?

My immediate thought about Reddit. Sure I discover some things there but what I really enjoy is seeing people’s reaction and genuine discussion (the quality of which is much better on Lemmy).

I’d love to use RSS but it feels rather lonely by comparison.

I don’t know a thing about adult industry financing but are there investors? Are the moneybags telling them to clean up their image?

The Vox article does a better job of communicating the findings without the hyperbolic headline. The study wasn’t explicitly designed to look for association. Nonetheless, the data is there.

Neither study does a particularly good job determining causality. The higher quality study was limited in time (3 years) and participant age but perhaps the findings also broadly apply.

I remember my dad doing each and every one of these, like a ritual whenever we parked.

Lenny: Edit Reddit

With a little red too.

This saves me time by letting Carl directly know he’s an idiot rather than waiting until I mistakenly message him instead of my coworker.

Imagine time-traveling. Even for 5 secs. That would be a hell of a sight.
