- Comment on ChatGPT rewrites Umberto Eco's 14 signs of fascism as Jeff Foxworthy. 5 weeks ago:
With #1, strong leader probably means the strong-handed over-enforcing leader who’s tough on crime to solve problems. In your example I agree, but I’d also argue the leader is guiding society in that case and it takes everyone to solve problems.
With #3, I think it’s referring to a subset of actual citizens who are treated like “real” citizens over other citizens. Whether it’s by race, class, religion, etc. Some minority of the population is made the boogeyman.

It’s bumper stickers for your house, but pretending to be fancy.

I think it’d only be 2 squares. I’ve been doing a lot of captchas lately and they always seem to want less outer edge than I expect as a probably human. Like if only a small corner of a bus is in a tile, I just ignore it.

What agenda is that referencing? I’m out of the loop.

The “everything reminds me of him/her” meme refers to some ex relationship.
Another meaning for “gaslighter” is someone who manipulates you and makes you feel like you’re crazy.
So they’re saying this lighter reminds them of their mentally abusive ex. Which is really more sad than funny the more I explain it.
- Comment on Stages of grief 3 months ago:
That’s true, but it became clear that others would experience similar emotions.
Also according to the Wikipedia, the author regretted writing them in a way that suggested they’re a linear progression of steps. I’ve only actually heard the steps used as a sitcom plot point (Monk, Scrubs).

Train spotting used to be the niche hobby.

He looks badass from the top, but under the water his lil legs are paddling at full speed.
- Comment on His presence terrorizes this town 5 months ago:
It’s 0.85 cups per day every day of the year.
It’s not a lot, but he’s either horrifyingly consistent or floods his body with cheese on a few ritualistic days. I fear either option.

It’s not beneficial. We’re in the realm of aesthetic design, and no amount of reasoning will free you from these toaster coasters.

Wow that’s true. Renting is someone letting you borrow their debt because you can’t afford your own debt.
- Comment on So excited for the Cybertruck 6 months ago:
Yeah it actually looked worse in person than I expected.
It looks like how a caveman would draw a car after only seeing them on a Playstation 1.

Oh god flashbacks to the Overcooked ice level while drinking.
So many chefs died that day.
- Comment on The wild successes of Helldivers 2 and Baldur's Gate 3 send a clear message: Let devs cook 6 months ago:
I get that they’re successful, and it’d be fantastic if this became the trend. But Battlefield and Call of Duty sell consistently with much less development effort and a lot lower risk of flopping.
It looks like Call of Duty is typically 3 year development cycles, and one took only 1.5 years. Baldur’s Gate took 6 years.
- Comment on [Meta] Just deleted a post due to the high level of negativity around here 6 months ago:
Honestly I’m more disappointed that this isn’t the first time on Lemmy that I’ve seen someone delete a post and then try to make a big scene about how they didn’t like the responses they got and were giving up on a community.
Lemmy has so little content that your complaint post gets to be top of a community for a while, so that’s nice.
You’re not the main character, people are entitled to opinions, and you don’t have to care or take them personally. It’s the internet, there will always be someone who complains even if it’s entirely unwarranted.

This is one of my worries with a growing wealth disparity in the world.
The average person is starting to get priced out of any luxury entertainment because there are wealthy people with unreasonable amounts of money to throw at whatever they feel like.
There will always be rich people who can pay whatever price a company asks for.

EMPLOYMENT OF MINORS: Repeals the provision of law relative to recreation or meal periods for minors
I would love to hear someone try to argue why this is a good thing. I expected some language to try to make it sound beneficial, but nope.

But I don’t expect you to read that because if you wanted to understand reality, you would have already.

I’m curious how often that’s happened. It sounds really tricky to prove someone’s motivation in that scenario.

Amazon barely even does brand names now.
A baby name from Amazon would be like “BABY CHILD YOUTH LIL ADULT 6LB 7LB 8LB DOCTOR OLYMPICS ATHLETE FAMOUS TALL INDOOR OUTDOOR EASY TO CLEAN CUTE COLLECTIBLE FAMILY 3-PACK”
