Wait, you mean when we genocide people they become radicalised and support whatever organisation with defend them? I'm shocked.

It's so surreal that everyone is just zombie walking into this dystopia.

Flawed premise.

Lemmy is not reddit nor should it aspire to be.

We don't want to attract reddit users, we simply want vibrant communities.

This type of attitude results in turds that won't flush like lemmit.online et al - a blight upon our fertile landscape.

There's no need to answer.

Stop whatever it was they detected. Don't do that any more.

You're all missing the real kicker here - this sign is only here for the HIPAA auditor. Everyone knows that no one is actually going to mute the thing.

This 404 page deserves a laugh in these troubled times.

“If that’s all that was discussed, we already know all that,” he told the Times. “We have had Australians serving with Americans on U.S. submarines for years, and we share the same technology and the same weapons as the U.S. Navy.”

This is such bs. If a dem had revealed classified information like this rep's would be frothing at the mouth.

Describing Trump as "master at finding value where others do not," Kise attempted to describe asset valuation as a subjective process.

This is a ridiculous argument. Appropriate methodologies for determining values are very well established. Any accountant knows this. IFRS 13 deals with the various concepts at length - it's foundational accounting.

People who look fit and feel well can be in terrible cardiovascular health without realising.

Also, the damage that accumulates while you're feeling fine is irreversible.

Yeah I agree.

It's made me very intolerant of ads. It's kind of surprising how much effort I will invest to avoid ads, and avoid supporting people who make a living from advertising revenue.

[-] DogMuffins@discuss.tchncs.de 197 points 1 year ago

That's true, but investors have a habit of making their problems everyone else's problems.

I doubt google cares very much.

Imagine if everyone used a browser made by an advertising company.

Elder Race (4.14 : 12,718)

In Adrian Tchaikovsky's Elder Race, a junior anthropologist on a distant planet must help the locals he has sworn to study to save a planet from an unbeatable foe. Lynesse is the lowly Fourth Daughter of the queen, and always getting in the way. But a demon is terrorizing the land, and now she's an adult (albeit barely) with responsibilities (she tells herself).


The Road to Roswell (3.91 : 1005)

When level-headed Francie arrives in Roswell, New Mexico, for her college roommate’s UFO-themed wedding—complete with a true-believer bridegroom—she can’t help but roll her eyes at all the wide-eyed talk of aliens, which obviously don’t exist. Imagine her surprise, then, when she is abducted by one.


Light Bringer / Red Rising #6 (4.59 : 510)

The Reaper is a legend, more myth than man: the savior of worlds, the leader of the Rising, the breaker of chains. But the Reaper is also Darrow, born of the red soil of Mars: a husband, a father, a friend. The worlds once needed the Reaper. But now they need Darrow. Because after the dark age will come a new age: of light, of victory, of hope.


Implacable / Outlands #3 (4.51 : 388)

As far from explored space as any human has ever been, Geary and the Alliance fleet are on their own, protecting a diplomatic mission in territory belonging to an alien species with still-unknown motives. His already complex and dangerous mission is further imperiled by deadly challenges from other human factions seeking to harm or exploit the aliens. When another alien species whose technology is far more advanced than humanity’s arrives, the stakes are raised to the highest possible level.


Space Raideres / Space Raiders #1 (4.33 : 344)

After years of searching, Nathan Briggs is finally on the verge of making an incredible discovery. Unfortunately, the aliens have other plans. When Nathan stops a brutal attack on an unsuspecting victim, he gets more than he bargained for and sets into motion events that will change his life forever. They told him he should’ve run away, and maybe they were right. Nathan is about to embark on an adventure of a lifetime. Aliens are real. He has something they need, and they’re not the only ones hunting for it.

There's a "we told you this would happen" going on here.

If chromium didn't have a monopoly amongst browsers, they would have a much harder time pushing this through.

Imagine everyone using a browser built by an advertising company.

You should know this because finding communities on lemmy can be tough.
