Would you like somebody to introduce you to broccoli? There’s a lot of ways to enjoy it, and it’s much more than just a boring “health food” (while simultaneously providing the benefits of a boring “health food”).

Obviously the newest Intel is the 13th generation

Erm

You understand why advertising when it isn’t clearly labeled as such is worse, right?

Your punishment is already that you can’t healthily enjoy the company of a woman and that you can’t post anything other than unfunny boomer Facebook memes; what else do you want?

Every fucking conservative piece of shit toiletpaper rag is free, but anything to the left of these whether it’s liberal or even socialist is all pay to read.

Did you consider that it might be because one is actual journalism and thus requires a lot of time and effort to perform, while the other one is petulant, bigoted crying in a way that a high schooler could write with zero or minimal fact-checking in 20 minutes?

A law would be something that they might be able to get passed if they actually wanted to pass it

I can understand someone continually misunderstanding how this works; what I can’t understand at all is why people keep upvoting it so heavily with so little pushback. When the Supreme Court makes a ruling on something, they’re making a ruling on whether something is permitted under the Constitution. In order to reverse Citizens United, you have to either a) amend that Constitution so it no longer says the words that the SCOTUS ruled on or b) wait for a new SCOTUS which will overturn that prior ruling.

when they were able to maybe pass it?

Lmfao when was this? A constitutional amendment of any kind has zero chance of getting passed by anyone and hasn’t in the entire time the Citizens United ruling has existed.

Democrats around that time could barely muster enough votes from the Republicans to pass the milquetoast, conservative ACA via simple majority. You’re deluded if you think Democrats ever could’ve plausibly reversed Citizens United via amendment.

But Mom would be sad! :(

What the Biden administration and the US writ large have done to Palestine is unambiguously genocide. Biden, Harris, and every politician who clapped for Netanyahu can rot in hell.

What sickens me is the obvious the fact that Trump was only going to make the genocide even much worse while destroying human rights in every other aspect of his presidency, and everyone who failed to meaningfully vote against him knew or should absolutely have known that.

“WHERE’S MY FUCKING MONEY, CEELO?! T’D YOU DO WITH FUCKING MONEY?!”

Since I missed the post two days ago and wasn’t at my desktop with the screenshots yesterday, I decided to bundle three posts into one day for Super Bowl Sunday! 🥳 (This didn’t really happen to me, by the way; I just wanted something darker today.)

Whoops! I didn’t even notice the Modlog because (at least for me) it’s tucked away at the very bottom of the sidebar and nestled between the list of mods and some statistics I don’t really care too much about. :P Genuinely my bad, though; I should’ve looked harder. Appreciate it now that I can finally see it!

I can’t emphasize enough how bad Lemmy’s moderation tools are. It’s not just that they’re abysmally anemic (including that you can’t perform moderator actions on someone in your community without a comment of theirs to click the context menu on? what??). It’s not just that reports don’t synchronize correctly across instances (i.e. if you want to moderate a community on another instance, you’re at a severe disadvantage). It’s that they’re wildly fragmented, presented just all over the place like some kind of scavenger hunt.

• As I said previously, the context menu of a comment is the only way you can ban and unban users (except that you actually can ban them if you use the API directly).
• Moderation has zero hierarchy, so 1) any moderator if they want to can perform a Night of the Long Knives and become the sole moderator (fine for now when admins can quickly intervene, but impossibly stupid if Lemmy ever became bigger), and 2) every moderator has access to all of the tools (including appointing other mods).
• You can’t view a list of banned users and unban them from there; this gets back into point 1 where you need to dig up the last comment on your community (not easily if you removed it) to unban them.
• On Voyager (third-party mobile app), I have more tools than I do on desktop, which indicates to me that the tools are there in the API but just aren’t exposed on desktop for some god-forsaken reason.
• I literally can’t even view a per-community modlog on desktop. I have to go out and find the Lemmy.World modlog (usually from a search engine) and then filter by action and pray that it was recent enough that I can find it in the rest of the heap.
• Oh, but don’t worry. There’s a third-party tool for viewing the modlog, which is just ??? What the fuck?? How is this in some random tool you have to go searching for instead of in Lemmy proper? And even then, this tool has its flaws.

Edit: obviously no automod either, although I know that’s a much larger undertaking than any of the things I’ve listed thus far.

thank mr skeltal

Pffffft, yeah right. They’ll “take action” inasmuch as it saves them a trip to the voting station two blocks away. I’m praying that the people who did that will prove me wrong, but I’m not holding my breath.

But the question is: how would a mosquito that develops this trait have an easier time reproducing? Assuming it reproduced and had quite a few offspring, would that collective group of thousands of mosquitoes have an easier time reproducing? It wouldn’t, because humans don’t have some kind of vision that tells them the mosquito won’t make them start itching 5 minutes later or whatever, by which point the mosquito is long gone. Even if they did, they’d still smack it upon noticing it, because it carries deadly diseases and is an annoying insect.

(The higher tiers cost $135 and $160 annually, respectively, and you don’t get to own a single game you play from the Game Catalog™, which itself honestly looks mid as fuck.)

For software? None, actually, because I actually know and choose what goes on my gaming device. ❤️

For hardware? Literally who cares; your argument was about software (specifically the OS, but we can talk more broadly), and on that front, the drivers from the massive, shitty corporations do their job with no fuss. Everything from gaming (sans the games themselves, excepting the massive library of games I physically own and can emulate) to the OS to the desktop environment to browsing the web to communications to non-gaming entertainment to workflow to productivity is 1) done on my own terms and 2) done for free. And which companies I choose to purchase the hardware from? My terms too.

By choice; they categorically don’t have to be. That’s the entire point.
