- Comment on Can someone break down the real differences between kbin, mbin, Lemmy, and PieFed? I know they're all in the Threadiverse, but I'm not sure what the draw is to use one over another. 3 days ago:
It seems inescapable that any mention of Piefed moderation provokes discussion of Lemmy politics. It was a pretty neutral portrayal of the threadiverse options and this kind of reinforces that assessment, quite frankly.

Yep. Back around 2013 when the national credit rating slid down it became legal/not prohibited to do so after a lawsuit.

There are actually a few twitch streamers that have political experience who stream about politics. They’ve run for office, or worked in D.C., so they have some interesting insights.
But that’s not Asmongold by a longshot.

I kinda like it. It’s just neat enough.
A lot of old city plats follow the exact pattern of that square, so I’d be curious what the sequence of development was.

It’s been over 20 years, but I do remember the acupuncture was beneficial. The physical therapy exercises helped with a shoulder injury, and it was accessible for a laborer without insurance.
I should also mention they were also religious and gave you a pocket bible every visit. It was a very different time and location in my life.

Yeah I think he also said he fixed a deaf janitors hearing by popping a neck vertebrae into alignment, if I remember the lore. This was ‘drink heroin for medicine’ era too.

Yeah I was using common nomenclature. I don’t recall if they were licensed dietitians or not.
The one sold supplements and vitamin tinctures his wife made, so they weren’t far off from the unlicensed category. But they were both also licensed/certified physical therapists and masseuses. He had done some kind of sports medicine if I recall correctly before starting his business.
The other guy was really into the whole gambit of chinese herbology and such, but he kept himself grounded with physical therapy regimens and promoting tai chi every other sentence.

I mean, that’s kind of the implication.

I have known a few chiropractors. Two were decent naturopaths who were also nutritionists, physical therapists, and masseuses. Whole body and nervous system health. Never cracked or popped a joint.
The third charges $35 bucks, no insurance needed, and just pops your middle back and gropes you. Absolute worst and he bought the business from one of the first.
Good chiros are about nervous systems. Bad chiros, the vast majority, are witch doctors selling bunk cures.

American English with a specialty in the dialect of American Regulatory Legalese.
Spanish, Arabic, and Irish I used to be able to read and write, but was always terrible at understanding any of them spoken.
I learned bits of German by proxy from having friends stationed at Heidelberg.

Hey they got movie theatre money out of me for that. It is everyone else who didn’t see it that is clearly at fault for that blunder.

The problem stems from the term ‘GenAI’. These systems use math to predict things. There are a lot of valid mathmatical calculations to predict out there. Rendering lighting is one of them.
Human language and imagery isn’t one of them, which is what idiots have been trying to funnel through these models.
- Comment on A communist and an anarchist walk into a bar.. 3 weeks ago:
There were betrayals and brutal slayings to go around between and through the World Wars.
When I see these sorts of portrayals of communists and anarchists I always wonder why the contemporary actions of the Whites or the Fascists get to enjoy omission.
Like: Mahkno is a popular example and figure, but he and his army were a component of a larger class system. Hryhoriv, a contemporary, was a large reason for the eventual downfall of all the atamans, including Mahkno, even though Mahkno was the one who killed him.
Another example is Durruti in the Spanish Civil War, whom I admittedly don’t know a great deal about. But he died for reasons that are not clear except: war. It’s a topic of literature at any rate.
After the Republican forces lost the war it was Francoist forces that exterminated anarchists in one of many White Terrors of the 20th cebtury.

- Comment on I just want juice, is that so much to ask? 4 weeks ago:
Part of this I believe can be attributed to labelling rules. Only the concentrate portion can be called juice.
When it is made from concentrate the reconstituting water is the main ingredient. What’s shitty is that water gets more and more sugar/HFCS mixed in so less concentrate is used. Getting it down to 10% or less like that: it’s just flavoring the corn.

It’s the Street Fighter 2 to Street Fighter 1.
There are about a half dozen new mechanics woven into the game.
They learned a little from Balatro, added some questlines like FTL, and added a whole multiplayer component.

Say what you want about Bush, even that war criminal didn’t go as far.
Any point you might’ve had about land acquisition, separatism, or imperialism, is pretty hard invalidated by this comparison. Like, why add Bush as a qualifier?

Derp I’d checked 1998 and then didnt check 1999 after I saw the shadow.
- Comment on Administrative task management 5 weeks ago:
Not how March was in 1998 or 1999. Also the shadow leading from the firearm along the arm is also bogus.
