Friendly reminder: many people on Lemmy, let alone the Fediverse as a whole, are not American.

With that being said, no, no, I haven't voted. But I plan to on Election Day! :)

Down with fascism! °o°i

Rip.

Twitter is the only time I will ever be okay with deadnaming.

Real sad what happened there.

Yes, I get that people need to eat, but goddamn it man THERE ARE OTHER WAYS TO GET MONEY THAN SELLING OUT.

Ah, fair enough. Lol. I was hoping you were making a Fallout: New Vegas reference. Haha.

Exactly!

I just want you to know how much I appreciate the fact that you typed out the list of repos mentioned in the video, since you know many people are not going to watch the video but still want the information.

I mean this. Thank you. You are awesome and deserve cake.

A new theory claims

Hypothesis, not theory. It is a small distinction but an important one in science.

Serious, honest question: why are we bringing gender into this?

I've never considered the idea of one gender being any more likely to commit piracy than any other. Is there some kind of piracy subgroup of people in Indonesia or elsewhere who claim men are more likely to pirate music than other genders, particular women?

Again, this is a serious question, with no malicious subtext. I'm genuinely wondering where in the hell this question came from, because it seems to me like it came out of nowhere.

I don't see the contradiction here. Right Person is just asking what Left Person's beliefs on those matters are, not whether they believe those beliefs are objective.

......I don't get it.

It's truffle dip.

Honestly? It was kind of shitty back then and is just as shitty nowadays.

I mean, I get why people do it. But in my honest opinion, it's still a blatant violation of that person's dignity, at least if it's distributed.

I think it's really dumb that people think 5'7" (170 cm) is short for males.

The typical height of the human male is anywhere from 5'5"–6'0" (165–183 cm).

5'7" isn't short; it is stupidly average.

I think it's kind of an unfair comparison. Hubble was made decades before Webb was, when we knew a lot less than we do now.

This is like insulting Shakespeare for not writing with a ballpoint pen.

Kind of seems like punishing a person for doing what you do.

Yeah, that's the Olympian gods for ya.

There's a reason almost all of Greek mythology can be summed up in only eight words:

"Unfortunately, Zeus was feeling rather horny that day."

Puritanism bullshit.

Truth be told? As a former fan of the books but a reluctant enjoyer of the universe, I would love to try the game.

But as a trans person, I cannot in good faith give additional attention to anything Harry Potter. Many of the fans may be good people, but the books are problematic, the author is a piece of shit, and anything that gives either of these things more exposure should be shunned. (Sadly, this means the movies are a no-go, even though Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson are gems; I can't remember how Rupert Grint feels.)

Not censored, just shunned. I'm not going to be an asshole to someone who likes HP but is a nice person otherwise. If they ask me my opinion, I'll tell them, but I'll stay away personally from the official content, if not all content (fan content is on a somewhat case-by-case basis, but mostly that too if only just to make staying away easier).

Anyone got a summary? I really wish people would stop posting links to videos without providing a synopsis.

I made a major improvement in my ability to not give a fuck about my job.

I work in American retail.

Well yeah. I mean, computers back then weren't just spyware in a Scooby Doo mask.

Although I agree with the "land-centric" part, I do have to say that to be fair it does look like a horse in every part except the bottom.

That being said, why are you using camelcase with "re-read"? That's what the hyphen is for.

It's not Lemmy; it's the instance you're using.

Yeah, it's called "not starving anymore".

I really hate to be "that person", but..........it's "run of the mill", not "run off the mill", friend.

It's a term from the late 1800s that refers to "manufactured goods not graded or sorted for quality—that is, a mill's products before they've been separated according to what will sell for how much." (Source for quote: https://www.merriam-webster.com/wordplay/where-does-run-of-the-mill-come-from)

Seriously, I'm not trying to be a grammar nazi here. Unless of course that was just autocorrect being a dick, in which case I'll go walk off a cliff now... :/

It's Technology Connections.

Oof.

Sigh... Whelp, time to go download a shit-ton of stuff before yet another friendly port goes down...

We need to straight-up ban images with the pagination still in the corner. -_-

As a trans person, this has always been one of my favorite fiction quotes.

I disagree. I always found it to be a bit of totally inconsequential fun.

Yes, it is called Heresy.

19 states have some form of “right to dry” legislation, most of which would protect drying on patio space.

Two points which I would like to interject here:

1. OP (of either the post or comment above) may not be in the United States, and

2. Even if they are, there are 50 states and 1 capital district. That means those 19 states only make up roughly a third of the United States. Odds are they are not in one of them.

"If I have to be miserable, so does everyone else."

Yup, that's the kind of mindset a lot of these kinds of people have.
