No one is saying studies should stop. Popping up and suggesting otherwise as if this nutjob has a point is just helping prop them up.

Journalists really milking that headline.

Fwiw, USSS has declared the highest level of security for that day already.

Why doubt? The party has made it part of their platform to distrust the voting process. It sounds like a threat because it is one.

[-] ech@lemm.ee 27 points 3 days ago

it is also somewhat misleading

...what? No it isn't. Restricting the premise from infinite to any finite amount of time completely negates it. That doesn't prove it's "misleading", it proves anyone that thinks it does has no idea what they're talking about.

Ah yes - Bird-Swine flu. That sounds about right for this decade.

What are we supposed to do[...]?

All of these articles treat energy usage like a massive crime, but miss/ignore that the world's energy use needs to go up as we increasingly turn to electric alternatives. The problem truly lies in how we generate electricity, not how we use it.

So the actual answer to your question is intense and rapid investment in sustainable, non-carbon energy production. An infrastructure revamp to rival any other in history. It would've been far better to do so decades ago, but that's no longer an option. Anything else is just half measures we can't afford.

They aren't talking about firing them from a job.

Meme? That's literally just an ad. Am I missing something?

...Narcan?

*Actually decided to click through to the article for this one.

Since 2020, Griswold has made available at least $5 million in grant money for more physical security at election sites, which has allowed counties to take measures such as installing bulletproof glass or having Narcan on hand in case fentanyl is deployed as a chemical weapon.

I know fentanyl is the big scary drug of the decade but...is that something that happens? That sounds insane.

Planning to watch through Jordan Peele's movies for the spooky season and thought it'd be nice to expand that out to other movies from POC creatives. My current list includes Sorry to Bother You (another favorite of mine I've been meaning to rewatch), Bad Hair, Horror Noire, and Ganja & Hess. Any other movies that fit the theme that you would suggest? They certainly don't have to stick to African American/Black creatives, and English isn't a must, but would be preferred.

I noticed a distinct lack of response to comments and looking at the threads from other instances shows that my comments aren't appearing outside of lemm.ee, and going to the link I shared shows there are 0 up-to-date instances with lemm.ee.

This happened around the big update in December, too. Not sure what the cause is, but here's hoping it can be resolved soon!

*Dunno if this info would be helpful, but the last comment of mine that seems to have federated properly was from 07:15UTC, and the first comment that seems to be missing was from 14:15UTC. So something happened between then.

One of mine is Commit This to Memory by Motion City Soundtrack. I basically took the title verbatim and know the album word for word. And while I would love if it did, the rest of MCS's stuff just doesn't hit the same way.

And if you're not an album person, maybe a period of time in the artist's work? Whatever works for you.

*Lots of mentions of hit debut albums that subsequently petered out, which follows with the dreaded sophomore slump that hits many artists. Anyone with mid or even later career albums that stand alone? Those always intrigue me.

Just had this thought and I'm caught between the two. Assuming anything being considered were all "good" photos, what would you prefer if it were you?

*Lots of great responses! I do want to clarify that I am not currently dealing with this scenario myself, but I appreciate the thoughtful comments. Hopefully they can help people that are struggling. I know I'll keep them in mind for the future.

I absolutely adored the first 2 seasons as they came out and wasn't confident in how the third season would follow up. And tbh, the first half was somewhat underwhelming. The Zava stuff seemed pointless and it kinda felt like it was running on auto-pilot. But man, starting with the Amsterdam episode it was just banger after banger (with special nods to 'The Strings That Bind Us' with Sam's emotional arc and the finale 'So Long Farwell' with, well...everything). The last show that made me laugh-cry that much was The Good Place.

I know there's lots of folks sad about it being done so quickly, but I don't think I'd want it any other way. Bill Lawrence, Jason Sudeikis, and everyone else on that show made something truly wonderful, not just for tv, but as a heartfelt examination and embrace of the flaws and strengths in all of us. This story about football that's not really about football (but still really is) will always hold a place in my heart.

For one, even if I wanted to use it, piped never works for me.

Second, on mobile, my alternative of choice doesn't recognize everyone's non-yt links, so it removes my choice in the matter.

Third, I have no reason to trust the weird-ass domains I see, and to un-fuck the url takes much more time then just handing out the original YT links and letting people choose for themselves how they view the video.

Rediscovered this vid digging around my old youtube playlists. I barely knew who Tom was back then, and with his recent announcement, I thought it was kind of neat to come back to. Hopefully others find it as funny/neat as I do!

I do this for a few things, movies in particular. For me most recently, I'm planning on watching Bo Burnham's Inside this weekend, for the first time since I watched it shortly post-release. I wasn't really intending to wait *checks watch* nearly 3 years on that one, but I definitely felt it needed some space before a rewatch.

Anyone else treat certain pieces of media similarly?

I just noticed that all of my comments for the last few days don't show up in the parent instance of the post. It is happening in several different instances, so it seems like it's probably an issue on the lemm.ee side of things.

So far comments aren't appearing in 'Lemmy.world', 'Lemmy.ca', or 'Sh.itjust.works'

While looking into this, I also noticed other lemm.ee users posts that aren't appearing when switching instances.

*Suddenly got some interaction with the lost posts, as well as a few comments from 'lemm.ee' on the other account I've been using, which matches up to sunaurus's post on updating to 19.1. Glad to see things appear to be working as expected again. Hopefully 0.19 doesn't have anymore surprises for us!
