Probably 6000 messages from Nicole, the fediverse chick.

She is about to get hit by that ship and probably die!

That bird is strangely satisfied by the whole thing. Definitely smiling. I know where I’d start looking for the perpetrator.

A lot of folks use grocery delivery services, and the people fulfilling those orders are often unlikely to care enough to be diligent. If it’s on your list, they’ll get it.

ct is Count, most likely. It’s possible it’s a mistake; it’s also possible that they’re hoping people who don’t have the card will see $3.99 and miss the ‘price with card’ note, and not check the price when they check out.

If you’re familiar with the show… you know the answer.

Certainly it’s not none, but there’s a trend where college educated people tend towards leftist ideals purely because they’re exposed to more ideas, more people, more things, and that tends to lead to broader acceptance, which is, unfortunately, a polarizing thing. Many right-wing points are grounded in xenophobia, racism and an ‘us vs. them’ mentality, and it’s harder to hold those ideals when folks are put into situations where they have to actually interact with and get to know the people they’re “against”, rather than them just being faceless boogie men to be feared and hated.

Given what a banger HL: Alyx was - definitely the best VR title that I played, at least - that would be incredibly hype. Heck, I’d just take HL: Alyx 2.

Whenever someone gives me the “Nothing to hide, nothing to fear” statement, I always ask to see their phone, unlocked. If they have nothing to hide, they should have no problem with me looking through that, right? Messages, pictures, browser history…

And when they refuse, it helps make the point that maybe privacy is important, and not wanting to get spied on doesn’t equate to guilt.

Some US states already do this. It’s mainly unpopular in red states, though, because their ‘protect the children’ rhetoric ends when it stops being synonymous with harming women.

Not to mention in this particular case, just posting the text without the image would have both been more inclusive for visually impaired users AND a better experience for everyone else.

If a new take on an old MMO is interesting, maybe look up Everquest Legends. It’s basically an oldschool MMO combined with a massive power fantasy. It has problems (many, many problems), but it’s still a pretty good time.

Definitely a thing here, too. If you’re going to put together some crazy DIY workaround to a problem, you can say you’re going to MacGyver that shit and everyone knows exactly what you mean.

Well, can you blame us? :(

And then you just have people who just don’t know any better.

This is an interesting perspective that I hadn’t considered. Can’t really blame folks in that situation.

This whole time, that was an option?! I feel so cheated.

I still refuse to believe that any of them actually believe the earth is flat. It’s either a grift in the case of social media accounts that push the rhetoric, or a big joke in the case of everyone else. Even if some of them do actually believe it, I still choose to believe this theory, because it makes me hate humanity a little less.

Yes, and the low-resolution pointer when you do this excessively is just unacceptable. I’m glad they’re finally addressing this pressing concern.

The Decemberists have a rock opera called Hazards of Love and in one song, Annan Water, the main character is trying to strike a bargain with a river to allow him passage across it. It includes the line:

Though my mother cries that if I try I sure will drowned be

For the longest time, I would have sworn the lyric was:

Though my mother cries that if I try I sure will drown in pee

Have a listen and tell me you don’t hear that, too.
