  Man, I told Bob not to fuck that panda.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Black Mirror AI⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, at this rate we’ll be just fine. (As long as this is still the Reagan administration.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Request to mod antinatalism⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Is this a community that should exist?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has the use of a comma instead of the word "and" in English news headlines always been a thing?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  We know it primarily from context switching. It’s a thing very specific to headline-speak

  Ironically when looking up “context switching” I got programming results. Apparently Wikipedia refers to the language thing as “code switching”.

  nebula.tv/LegalEagle I think.

  Oh, sweet summer child…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s a tw3?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't be Evil⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They tried to say this wouldn’t work, but Bob the PM thinks its great and has ordered you to put it through. His only concession to your warning was “well, add an ‘lol’ or something to make it sound gamery”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TIL about dating⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also she’s absolutely right. That is the proper way to answer this insipid question.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sure you mean that you tell her each marking to fill in and watch her do it. Nearly the same thing. Just clarifying the words you’ve put on the Internet for everyone to see. The words that can be traced back to you if convenient.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  One of the negatives of mail on voting that people don’t want to acknowledge. (Because mail in voting good, and everything must be black and white.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you use your blinker in a car?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I use it as soon as it’s clear what it means. If there are multiple turns, that might be four seconds so that they don’t expect me to turn early. I’ll typically hit it in the middle of the intersection of the first turn.

  If there’s no earlier option to turn, I’ll absolutely leave it on for 10-15 seconds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Vance could be relatively good. Signs point to no, but those signs are weak. The only thing I truly know about him is that he’ll lie for power. What he does once he gets that power is anyone’s guess.

  He’s close to Peter Thiel. His book is really fucking condescending towards the rural poor. (Why don’t they just get out like he did?) He’s young enough to go for a second term if he gets half a first term. And he hates Trump except when he needs to use him to gain power.

  That’s the complete record of what we know about Vance. Maybe his book was bullshit that he knew would play well with rich conservatives. Maybe he was using Peter Thiel. Maybe there’s a human in there we’ve never seen. Or maybe not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Max pulling THIS shit every time I finish watching Last Week Tonight⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You can turn off the autoplay. It still minimizes the credits to show you other shows.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨John Oliver faces defamation lawsuit from US healthcare medical director⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If they cancel LWT, I cancel Max. 100%

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The cat turns him in⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If they’ll cheat with you they’ll cheat on you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. It didn’t help that we spent 50 years saying not to discuss politics or religion.

  But the current situation was largely a coordinated propaganda effort, likely combined with blackmail on politicians. Possibly caused by the hacked emails. Both the DNC and RNC were hacked. Only the DNC side was released.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hegseth Disclosed Secret War Plans in Group Chat With Atlantic Journalist⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This was more of a breach than anything Hillary ever did with her emails.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Request to take over c/virginia⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’ve been appointed as a mod to !virginia . Good luck! I should send a welcome message later this evening with more info.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That's why it's called science fiction duh⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s still the recognized Internet stereotype.

  People just aren’t noticing that this is protection.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That's why it's called science fiction duh⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d be discussing declining the procedure based on that. I don’t know if I’d pull the trigger, based on a number of things: how likely can I get the procedure done elsewhere or by a different surgeon, how badly and quickly do I need the procedure, insurance issues. But I’d certainly try to talk to hospital staff about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Request to take over abandoned community⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In my opinion, don’t feel bad if you need to go back to certain subreddit for particular things, or if it turns up in search results. It was a great site for about a decade and reflects a huge chunk of the internet at this point (which is part of the problem.)

  Myself, I just don’t do general browsing there anymore, and it’s nearly always in read-only unless I’m talking about Lemmy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Request to take over abandoned community⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Normally I wouldn’t appoint someone so new, but the story and the timing makes sense.

  Good luck. The all page here does quite well. The niche stuff is having more trouble taking off on its own.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon has brand loyalty⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Could be an older monitor, too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon has brand loyalty⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wouldn’t that not be enough though? It should help in a lot of places, particularly the bar itself and the digits. But I’d be concerned that the center of the battery indicator and the wifi icon would still burn in.

  Or maybe people just don’t keep their phones charged.

  legal.lemmy.world/tos/#41-piracy

  I’m sure other instances have their own policies. Some are willing to take on more legal risk than LW.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon downloads a game⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a good warning (you hope). You clearly grabbed shady software. If you’re lucky it’s not malicious, this time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fuck this asshole⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe getting rid of social security, freedom of speech, and the national parks will do the job.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Request to close boardgames@lemmy.world⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What is your role in LW support? Are you able to approve requests here?
