Having been to both, I can assure you the rides at Cedar Point are much, much better. Disney World is a theme park with a full experience, such as themed attractions and cosplayers. It's great for young kids.

Cedar Point has the awesome coasters that thrill -seeking adults will want. It's more like Universal Studios or Six Flags

Look at all of the related "risks" and add them up. I'm sure that drowning is a small number, but then add in all of the deaths from scalding, acid rain, poisons (that contain water), etc etc and it eventually gets to be a very big number. Probably in the millions

You mean Musk? Because it seems that whatever insanity that Musk does, Spez wants to copy verbatim

Yeah, all of these other explanations seem WAY more complicated than needed.

I like it. Can we get one for Tim Apple? Or Mark Faceberg?

I foresee a whole new wave of shitposts from this.

This isn't a Reddit thing, it's just the English language evolving. The term started in the 1970s. It's present on all major social media platforms.

I'm glad we don't have anything like that here!

Now if you'll excuse me, there's an interesting post about beans I need to read.

There's a wide spectrum of responses people can have to a breakup. Anger to the point of violence is naturally low in most modern societies, but it does exist.

When you have that breakup moment in person, you force a lot of emotions to flood them all at once. Often, they thought things were going well. This creates a strong sense of rejection, hurts their self-esteem, and puts them immediately on the defensive. It can also trigger a fight-or-flight response, and manifest as anger.

Ghosting flattens the curve. Over the course of days or weeks, the ghostee more gradually recognizes and comes to terms with the fact that the ghoster is no longer interested in them. This often happens without there being a flashpoint moment to set them off.

It's still rude, but I absolutely see the value in it

Yeah, do people buy jewelry for their cat?

Are you applying for a job at Meta? Is that your essay on why they should hire you?

It all depends on how formal you want to go. Parent was using the suit-and-tie version https://xkcd.com/243 has the full scale

Bots are not inherently evil. If they do something valuable for the community, and work as intended, they can be very helpful. While I'm not familiar with the details, that looks to be a product release post - which (depending on the community) can be very useful to automate.

The problem is that we have all been flooded with useless, low-quality shitpost bots. Reddit was full of them - like the one that would reply if your post was in alphabetical order. Naturally, we want to avoid/limit that as much as possible around here. But I'm also not as concerned - Lemmy doesn't have the incentives that Reddit did, specifically there's no karma.

On Lemmy, we just have to treat them the same as any other bad actor. We can block them individually, mods can ban them from that community, their instance can ban them, and our instance(s) can defederate with theirs. Due to the high demand for this feature, I expect we'll be able to individually block instances in the near future.
