Credit unions really are refreshing (as much as a financial institution can be, at least). Mine’s utter shit, but they’ve still gone to unrestricted length ATM pins and options for 2FA / 3FA online access and they support FIDO2 for auth & transaction confirmation. It’s ridiculous how behind the establishment banks are getting.

Oh, duh. Thank you for making that connection, that was bothering me.

Rather a sad thought that there’s been enough pit massacres to be able to get them confused. And my apologies, I thought DDG didn’t do personalized results - wonder why it’s not showing up when I search it. For whatever reason, all I get are news articles about the recent FlyDubai plane stabbing

The Cuck Pit lives on.
In case anyone is wondering and was confused by the total lack of context in the DDG search, this is a meme reference to the Barbara Pit Massacre, a mass execution of POWs from yugoslavian nazi puppet militaries (NDH and SD) and, unfortunately, quite a few civilians as well. Their bodies were dumped in a mine, sealed off and forbidden to discuss until the ~90s.

Honest take: We’re trying to keep it going on fedinsfw, but it’s rough. We lost a ton of the OC posters that were also active users on lemmy when lemmyNSFW died, and now it’s dwindled to just four or five of us over there popping up like pool floaties in a little swimming pool OF agency accounts. The audience community has barely recovered as well; engagement is a fraction of what it was (and borderline overtly hostile to male/trans content) and that makes it really rough to get new people in, let alone build a culture that keeps those new people around to post.
Might be a little harsh, but the bottom line is if people want more topical content ya’ll gotta help put in the work to keep it fun for the people making the OC.

Yeah, the brief moment of confusion when you hit something using deci- or hecto- and you briefly have to convert to one of the common prefixes .

Mils and Thous are at least decimal, so that’s part of the battle right there…

I counted all of five (and only two I’ve seen more than 1-2 episodes of), which yeah that kinda explains a lot. I miss so many references in my day-to-day, maybe I should binge some things for the cultural literacy…

Honestly, I don’t care enough to want to listen to how your conspiracy theory is different and totally justified. The epstien files are what one would generally call evidence. And even then, despite being jam-packed with horrifying evidence, it is apparently not jam-packed enough with horrifying evidence to satisfy some people; this is where we get lurid claims of satanic rituals, cannibalism, brainwashing and disposing of bodies in acid.
I am sorry the horrors the trump admin has wrought already aren’t enough for you, but they absolutely are enough for me. I don’t feel compelled to entertain conspiracy theories about how it could be even worse than we realize; wishful thinking about how cool it would be if xyz horrible theories were true is not a good use of our time. We should instead focus on the mountains of evidence going ignored in favor of dramatic yet baseless theories like this. The world sucks enough already - we don’t need to fantasize about how it could be worse.

“If
[very unlikely bad thing is true]then[that would be very bad]” is a very agreeable formula, but it’s not really a useful insight. - Comment on Trump says his planned arch would become a 'military complex' able to host drones and snipers 2 weeks ago:

To contribute my own corpse to the hill, the section of the rule specifically discussing bestiality existed long before the current administration. Their updating of the rules to be less absolute probably should have dropped the explicit callout entirely (because uh… guys, how often does that come up that it needs to be specified??) but it’s important context that this rule change wasn’t done in a vacuum, it was a pretty wide reduction in automatic disqualifications.
It really does seem like this is just a flashy but bullshit distraction from all the other, much more heinous shit that’s going on.

No, it’s not true. You wouldn’t ever use magnesium for that anyways, you’d use an actual demolition charge if you were dumb enough to rig every tall building with explosives. But no, nobody is that dumb - the kernel of truth at the heart of that one is that some large buildings have demolition plans drawn up when they’re constructed (important note: the WTC didn’t have that, it’s both very rare to do and a much more modern practice than the WTC buildings), which are just a reference for if/when the building is demo’d in the future. They’re not rigged to blow, though. Hell, aside from all the obvious reasons you wouldn’t do that, chemically most explosives would become uselessly unpredictable after being strapped onto a building for that long. Just an absurd idea.

Nope! And gay pornography is very different from gay adult services.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
It’s porn though, and in porn there’s essentially no market for male content. It would for sure be nice, but even on deeply egalitarian leftist-heavy Lemmy, posting male content on c/gonewild will get you downvoted for your time.

Unfortunately while there are many alternative approaches of equal or greater value than the Shanghai rankings, citation analysis really isn’t a great alternative. It’s one of the most criticized methodologies for some very good reasons and, while Leiden does better than most at controlling for things like citation mills, their methodology has some real flaws (their criteria for designating “core journals,” for example). This is one of the most interesting topics in meta-academics right now, and as can be shown in this somewhat infamous paper from fudan university the reason is that impact is a great deal more complicated than any simple metric can represent.

Dude, don’t you realize you have no chance with this argument? Mechoman is the chair of the Nebraska Board of Tourism! He’s the genius mind behind those award-winning slogans we all remember, like “Nebraska: We’re relevant, damnit!” and “Nebraska: Don’t scratch it, that will just make it worse!”.
Seriously though, if you wanna get stuck in with them I can really recommend it - poking holes in their arguments is like bubble wrap for the rhetorical soul - but I just wanted to chine in and mention that you’ve brought some truly excellent points, and to make sure nobody’s taking this goober too seriously.
There’s a lot of stuff that either sucks or is downright horrible in the world right now, honestly even more than there was last month, and some people really just aren’t worth considering.
Anyways, you seem cool. I hope your day/night/timezone is going and continues to go well for you. Peace.
