Getting hit by a paywall to read this article, maybe made the point better than the article!

Mum: we’re definitely going the wrong way

Me: how do you know?

Mum: because we need to go south and we are currently going north

Me: how do you know we are going north?

Mum: because the sun sets in the west

Me: oh…

This is how they behave when the eyes of the world are watching…

Is it really a war or just war crimes?

Or the police weren’t wearing their uniforms???

In 2015, Indiana’s then-governor, Mike Pence, signed a law making the state’s immunity law retroactive to Aug. 26, 1999, four days before the city of Gary initially filed its lawsuit.

How can you sign a retroactive law? Essentially making things legal which were illegal when they were committed and what about criminalising things which were legal? Could people be prosecuted for things that became crimes after they did them?

It’s easy to be cynical and 150M towards health benefits seems like a good and altruistic offer but shouldn’t the studio be paying health benefits. Is this just a golden strike buster so top Hollywood actors can get back to earning millions while the rest return to crappy conditions.

I would say I’m reasonable at picking up hints, usually takes me about 4-10 years though.

Plan for oil corporations

Don’t forget “Ram man” 👍

Haven’t we seen enough sci-fi movies to know that having creepy humanoid robots hanging around is a bad idea. They should all look like Bender from Futurama or Marvin the paranoid Android

Yes it seems they want copyright when it suits them and not when it doesn’t.

They are led by by the “protect paedos” and “create terrorism” gang. Unfortunately most people are too dumb or disinterested to look beyond the popularist slogans.

But this also blocks supplies for the hostages doesn’t it?

We have some forks which are made out of really thin tin you can bend them very easily. I hate those forks. No one uses them. I wish they would take the hint and fork off, instead they hang around trying to blend in with the better cutlery and get picked by accident.

If UK is going to go it’s own way, I don’t see why they don’t just keep the reactor going. Not that going it’s own way seems very sensible anyway.

I think that is giving them a free pass. No country is perfect but Israel is now ramping up a campaign of genocide which puts them among the worst

After 2 weeks she had slowed to a crawl

I am always interested to read about different viewpoints but I don’t think I will miss Lemmygrad much.

Firstly know you are not alone, lots of people feel like this. I suggest a hobby which includes exercise and meeting people. Exercise releases endorphins and generally energises you. Meeting people helps bring you out of yourself and focus on something else. I do gym classes as it means I am around people but don’t have to interact too much. It’s the same people so I say hi and maybe chit chat a little. A gym buddy is good if you can find one, we never liked to bail on each other so used to go quite regularly. Swimming always makes me happy and my cat! (She likes to paddle but not really what I meant!)

I think there will be periods of regret…. Highs followed by lows, that’s just the path you walk as a compulsive olive eater.

Seems like a good start generally. Not sure about insurance though is it health or liability? Never had health insurance for pets, always preferred to save it and then pay outright for care without any of the usual wrangling about getting them to pay up.

Markets need to be regulated in order to function properly

Incognito mode just switches on a ton more tracking cause everyone wants to know what your secret searches are, rather than the boring shit you usually search!

Interesting concept, and a good base vehicle but I think it would need to sleep 2 to be practical.

Thank you for your hard work. I feel that a delay of a few hours is acceptable for a voluntary service. I am sure there are many commercial services which have much worse communication.

I personally feel that being able to discuss piracy but banning communities that have links that actively promote piracy seems like a sensible safe legal position. This is probably what I would do if there was even a possibility I might be legally liable for an instance.

I can understand users frustration but I don’t think it’s fair to take it out on the admins. It is a thankless task which people do to benefit their community. The great thing with the fediverse is that you have other low cost options to turn to if an instance no longer works for you.

Thank you so much. Ironically I struggled to open this page as it was jumping around so much!

Are you sure it’s not a “feed the cat” break?
