I think they’re a person who’s honestly in a dark place.
I think they’re objectively wrong about the ‘Saddam being linked to 9/11’ thing, and I worry that they’ve been a bit lost in their own head a bit.
The idea that data was deleted isn’t meritless in the sense that between enshittification and Musk’s tech bros there’s good reason to believe censorship and destruction have occurred recently (and they’re only the latest in a long line of maliciously maligned actors).
But I agree that their posts are so ridiculously textbook schizophrenic, that I do wonder if it’s an act. Yet, nonetheless it costs me little to be kind. 😅

I’ll stop referring to sources that could have been altered, when you start providing specifics about who you think deleted what and why?
- Comment on Can anyone identify this colony formation? 1 day ago:
I’m not trusting any external source here. I grew up under the Bush presidency and simply remember the whole fiasco.
Bush and friends invented the link to justify their prior war plans, when pushed to prove there was a connection, Bush failed to produce evidence.
You’re implying Bush (or … someone?) had the evidence that would have vindicated him, but rather than share it, deliberately buried it and successfully hid it from the whole world?
- Comment on Can anyone identify this colony formation? 1 day ago:
You do realize that reads like you’re off your meds.
I work in IT. There have definitely been several attacks on the quality of information available to the general public in the last few decades, but none that I would qualify as a singular “the”
Could you be more specific on which attack (or by whom) you’re referring to?
- Comment on Can anyone identify this colony formation? 1 day ago:
Can you cite where Saddam is involved in 9/11? Again, it’s generally accepted history that the Bush Administration claimed he supported the attacks, never presented evidence he was involved, then later admitted he was not involved.
- Comment on Can anyone identify this colony formation? 1 day ago:
Are you conflating Osama Bin Laden with Saddam Hussein, for whom as summarized by wikipedia:
In 2003, a US-led coalition invaded Iraq, falsely accusing him of developing weapons of mass destruction and of having ties with al-Qaeda.
I know this is a shitpost, but I don’t want to spread old, debunked propaganda.

Summer in Arizona feels like what I imagine living in space feels like - sure you can ‘suit up’ and temporarily endure the outside if needed, but radiation will immediately start saping your strength. Life is about going from one environment with life support (“AC”) to another environment with life support.

I don’t live in a state that advertises the toys as novelties, but all the toys at my sex shop are body safe. I have to imaging the ‘totally not a sex store’ novelty shop is probably also seeking the same suppliers, just different packaging
- Comment on Who is the enemy? 2 weeks ago:
That’s my point - Q-tips and novelty toys are both more commonly used for their off-label functionality because listing that on the label is inconvenient for the maker.

Q-tips aren’t meant to go in the ear the same way adult novelty toys aren’t meant to go in the butt.

I love V-Sig! Personally I also have the notification app D’Whisl and my daily devotional app IdioLogs to help me further shape my group think. Haven’t had an original thought in decades.

Do it - the macro effect comes from the scores of people who only have an MBA. Adding a business degree to an engineering degree likely won’t change your understanding of reality your grounded engineering view gives you.

El título de la publicación es “We all had one”, la broma es que este es un artículo doméstico común
El comentario principal de los padres es “We did not.”, es una protesta de que de hecho no poseen una plumbus.
Entonces @somerandomperson@lemmy.dbzer0.com vació su cajón de orina por alguna razón.
Creo que puedo haber perdido el hilo aquí, en alguna parte, pero espero haber ayudado.

Post title is “We all had one”, the joke being that this is a common household item
Top Parent comment is “We did not”, is a protestation that they do not in fact own a plumbus.
Then @somerandomperson@lemmy.dbzer0.com flushed their piss drawer for some reason.
I think I may have lost the thread here, somewhere, but I hope I’ve helped.

Yeah! It would sure be nice if we took accessibility issues seriously.
Like one lesson we learned as a society in the aftermath of implementing strong ADA laws (in the US) is that what’s needed for the bare minimum for some of us is often really nice for the rest of us.
For example: if you’re delivering a dolly of boxes to a building, the wheelchair ramp really beats working the dolly up the stairs.
It would be amazing if dialog were a separate channel, if only so that it can be boosted for the hard of hearing. If that meant more options for remixing for you and me - oh no?
It would be amazing if the subtitles were available and accurate. Great if you can’t hear the audio. It’s useful for scrubbing if you want to remember and find a obscure movie quote.

Technically true, but as an admin with root priviledges, I can access system private keys and directly manage it’s identity, such that it’s choice is usually what I told it to want.
Tangent, boy I cannot wait for neurolink to let Grok in my brain. I’m sure it will lead to lots of new ways of thinking for me. 🙃😶😶🙄

Against banks? I love the enthusiasm but this is not the way. Banks as a whole have many of the best lawyers in the game on retainer (possession is 9/10ths of the law, and this industry banks on that and make bank.) The best crowdfunding campaign in history* is 800 million. The banks would be willing to spend at least that in their own defence.
*not including investments (nor blockchain)
Plus, a progressive lawsuit in this environment? Might backfire spectacularly - right now banks are cautiously picking on ‘safe’ targets. But with a green light from the supreme court the banks could go full Nazi. Yeah - there’s nothing good I can reasonably expect here.

Historically sure. But pup play with a praise kink is growing from a fetish to a full on counter-culture. Who’s a good [boy/girl/pup]?
This addresses the “what can you do” bit. We can turn their shame into a game and mock their mockery. Even without the slutshame/slutpride aspect, pup play often is fully nonsexual for a lot of pup groups and is a great way for lonely adults to meet new people, socialize, and remember to play.
- Comment on Why doesn't the US fill in the area in the Pacific to connect Alaska, Hawaii, and the mainland? Are they stupid? 1 month ago:
A construction plan of epic proportions. They’re calling it a freeway.
Eight lanes of shimmering cement running from here to Pasadena. Smooth, safe, fast. Traffic jams will be a thing of the past.
I see a place where people get on and off the freeway. On and off. Off and on. All day, all night. Soon where the Pacific once was will be a string of gas stations, inexpensive motels, restaurants that serve rapidly prepared food, tire salons, automobile dealerships, and wonderful, wonderful billboards reaching as far as the eye can see! My god… It’ll be beautiful.

Excellent point. There’s a certain ‘sacrificial lamb’ vibe to this. With everything going on right now, how is this worth anyone’s time?
I’m not the biggest Coldplay fan, so let me extrapolate: if tomorrow we learned Weird Al Yankovic’s mother liked to kick puppies that would certainly be odd, definitely not good news. But I’d still think having Trump not releasing the Epstein files is a matter far more worth our attention.
