The spikes in gas prices and health insurance premiums are doing more than any presidential debates have done in the past decade. Consequences are needed to get the attention of conservatives and moderates. Unfortunately, most MAGA supports are far too brainwashed.
You’re more than welcome to try coordinating that. That’s our first hurdle. Second is arming ourselves better than the military and DHS. If we fail, we get martial law and no midterm election.
Talk is easy. This defeatist rhetoric only discourages Americans. We should be empowering protestors. Protests are bringing people together and building an army.
Look up the history of Christmas and Saturnalia. There is no mention of when Jesus was born in biblical text. December 25th is completely random. What’s not random: December 25th is the winter solstice according to the Roman calendar.
There are more examples of traditions that overlap with Pagan celebrations and don’t really have a connection to Christianity.
I agree with what everyone else said. I wanted to add that socialization is very important for dogs. You can have a happy dog without socializing, but they can become dog aggressive or generally scared of other dogs. That can be a huge inconvenience if you ever need to board them, do group training, or have them around dogs belonging to friends or family. The vet can be even more stressful, and you’re more likely to have issues while walking if your dog is reactive to other dogs.
Could you post a screenshot? I’m very curious about how they’re wording it.
The addresses were originally obtained through a Freedom of Information request, so yes, 100% public information.
The first impeachment was December 2019. You’re right, though. The system is stacked heavily in his favor right now, and getting Trump out isn’t going to make everything magically better. Vance and Mike Johnston are next in line, which… isn’t good.
I joined reddit ~15 years ago and there was already a very large, active userbase. It’s not a young platform, and there have been multiple protests against them by their users, yet reddit is still very much alive. I don’t think the confidence from investors is unfounded. Pissing off their users has kind of proven that there isn’t a real competitor out there.
We’re in the minority of users who have actually gotten fed up with them to the point of finding an alternative. Most people will complain but still stick around and stay active on reddit. They get new users daily who don’t know reddit as anything other than what it is now. People generally don’t care.
As is, I don’t see them going out of business anytime soon. If they continue to make ridiculously idiotic business decisions they might, but that’s on-brand for them at this point.
I can see it going either way.
Yes, that too. It’d be much more convenient if we could drive in a straight line to our destination, but roads were built for a reason! Air traffic is no different.
I did this. Luckily, nothing was lost because I was only using it to learn at the time. It oddly boosted my confidence because if I could break the OS, I could learn how to use it.
There are mountains and multiple no-fly zones along the direct path. They’re avoiding those.
Y’all, this has nothing to do with the curvature of the Earth. There are mountains and multiple no-fly zones that would be crossed if they flew in a straight line.
Same. I originally came here after they killed off 3rd party apps, then I figured out how to patch RiF again and didn’t spend as much time here.
The propaganda and misinformation have gotten to be too much. Advice subs are all fake AI stories. Admins are making a fuss about people breaking the rules, but refuse to disclose what the rules actually are.
I really enjoy Lemmy. The downside is that it’s not as easy to organize (and find) niche spaces like on reddit. I’m hoping the small communities have grown more since the first mass migration.
I was agreeing with you and providing another example
Iirc, it’s recommended to retest at 3 months post exposure.
Windows is a privacy nightmare. The OS is constantly sending data to Microsoft while being used.
Windows hogs resources. If you don’t shovel money out for new hardware every few years, your computer will run like shit.
Windows is full of ads.
The majority of malware is written for Windows. Not really a selling point for me, but it’s a bonus.
Linux is free.
Linux doesn’t force updates. You update when you want to, and it takes less than a minute to do.
Using horse dewormer topically is a popular home treatment for rosacea because it has the same active ingredient as a prescription cream (Soolantra), but the cream is ~$700/mo.
There are so many frugal “life-hacks” that involve a trip to your local feed store.
Spez said that reddit has been around for 18 years
r/interestingasfuck has been abandoned for a week after the mods were given the boot. I think r/TIHI is also left closed without mods. If the admins were going to act as interim mods, they would have already started with those two. I don’t think they’ve even removed the porn from the former yet.
It’s not exactly new. There’s a reason customer service is a skill, even in a positive context.
Many people crave affirmation. LLMs compliment their intellect, boosting their ego and affirming that their question falls under critical thinking or research rather than ignorance or stupidity.
They’re the type that turn everything into a conversation (more common for elderly people). They crave human connection.
Along the same lines, some people just dislike technology. LLMs are less robotic.
They may trust information coming from a human more than what pops up online. (A large factor in the spread of disinformation)
The additional context/hand holding helps them digest information
Personally: I learn to live with it because search engines are trash. It’s faster to fact check what an LLM tells me, and it usually involves less unnecessary reading.
Basically, people don’t like researching things. LLMs make it feel more question focused rather than information focused.
