It will be great when it says I’m under 18 while my account is over 18.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
I haven’t looked into it yet, but my guess is that this is only for new articles, but existing ones defaced by AI can just be reverted.

- Perhaps Japan?
- I feel like the US is getting really close to this honor, but I would still name a different one. Not sure which.
- Germany being all anti-nuclear-powerplant without (in my opinion) good reason.
- Comment on The way two of the usb's are one way while the other is another way 3 weeks ago:
It’s a spin 1/2 object, like electrons. 360 degrees is half a full rotation for it, so that’s what’s needed to switch it to the right state to fit. If you spun it 360 more degrees it would be back to the original state and not fit.
- Comment on Bat flies into woman's mouth in Arizona, costing her nearly $21,000 in medical bills 4 weeks ago:
Paying literally hundreds of dollars per month as soon as I no longer have income isn’t a reasonable expectation either.
If a freak accident like this happens while I don’t have a job, I’ll just go bankrupt and likely become homeless, then die. I’m counting on that not happening.

Just in case anyone thought this was just a joke…
- Comment on Blue Whales 5 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t be surprised. I’d guess a lot of the law stuff is either wrong or super obvious also. But I did like the show
- Comment on Blue Whales 5 weeks ago:
Yes, a TV show character who is obsessed with whales, and talks about them non-stop when allowed.
(The plot of the show is that she’s Korea’s first autistic attorney.)
- Comment on outside inside 5 weeks ago:
That’s true. I actually watched both versions

Hey, that lady doesn’t look like Woo Young-woo, whether it is read straight or flipped. Kayak, deed, rotator, noon, racecar, Woo Young-woo, Yeoksam Station.

“pass through itself” does seem like cheating to me.

That’s basically newsletters, forum digests, podcasts, etc.

Ok then.

Thanks, you too!

Of course Lemmy and such inherit some of that design even without the money behind it - there’s certainly a little dopamine hit when I see that one of my comments has gotten a reply, or when I check and see that it’s been upvoted.
Not having the incentive to enshittify is good though.

- Comment on I dont want to enter a contract when consuming your product.. 1 month ago:
Obvious solution is to not only return that one, but then go to a different brand of store, buy a bunch, then return them the next day. Repeat for each kind of store you can reach that sells them.

Given the content, “linger” is an incredible typo to have there.

- Comment on Scifi question about time travel: 1 month ago:
I’d say that the one that’s written is the ‘true’ timeline in the story the same way that the reality we experience is the only one that matters.
- Comment on Scifi question about time travel: 1 month ago:
What would happen is entirely your responsibility as the author of the scenario.
Some options may be more “realistic” than others, but since the existence of a working time machine is already beyond what seems to be feasible physics (requiring ridiculous amounts and density of negative energy for example, where not even any has been shown to be possible to make) the scenario becomes soft sci-fi, or in other words magic, and that means it’s up to the writer to make up the rules.
Here is a post I found with many of the options you can choose from.
- Comment on Scifi question about time travel: 1 month ago:
Even knowing that everything happens every way in some other branch of the wave function (other universes) doesn’t really affect our own little section of it. There’s no communications or travel, so other universes if they exist have the same meaning to us as if they don’t. Except in time travel stories like this.
Besides, the same “irrelevance” of decisions and events comes free with even one single universe given that it’s deterministic - as physics seems to be. (Yeah there’s quantum randomness, but random doesn’t help either)
That said I still believe in free will and the importance of decisions. I just think it has to be defined so weakly that it still works in a deterministic universe. (So I have free will, but so do dice and pocket calculators.)

- Comment on 32, f. Are there any dating sites that are actually free and don't suddenly force me to pay to actually use the site? 1 month ago:
Messaging used to be free on OKC too. Paid stuff was only better search placement, maybe seeing your matches immediately, etc. No idea about now, I was also found by my wife there over a decade ago.
