This was the one I was coming to add. It gets stuck in my head for weeks.

Yes, definitely see a different doctor.

I went ahead and got you all a link to the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire.

Which was a rather famous fire that killed so many people, because the stairwells were locked.

Please remember that OSHA rules are written in blood.

I happen to recall that in this scene, she's speaking nonsense Italian words (she doesn't actually know Italian) but the first time they show it (and the viewer doesn't know she can't speak Italian) they show Speaking in Italy... and later when they're showing that she's saying words, but they're nonsense, it still says 'Speaking in Italy'!

This is not a big deal but it is entirely wrong. Why do I care so much about this?!

(The close caption is wrong in a lot of places on this copy of The IT Crowd, but that's the most ridiculous.)

Edit: Later in the episode they show a speakerphone, on which, an Italian man is speaking. The caption for this? "Voicemail in Italy." What!

I'm so glad to see this post. I was starting to think I was taking crazy pills.

If I was an admin and I banned someone for whatever reason, and their reaction was this insanely aggressive, and they clearly kept using insulting terms to describe everyone (whiny, 'main character syndrome,' saying they haven't suffered enough to be treated with respect) I would definitely not think I was wrong to ban that person. Even if I initially was wrong, the reaction is the kind that makes me think... yeah, don't want that in my community.

Considering that all these models are trained on stolen content, no one should be surprised if this were true.

[-] flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 52 points 1 month ago

Yep. This is an unpopular opinion. Well done.

The failure to scrub the metadata is so insanely on-brand.

The funny thing about this is, when the .world mods were being insanely prohibitive of any speech involving Luigi, and censoring discussion if the event when it happened, the excuse they used was since the server is in a European country, it's illegal to foster speech that "promotes violence."

I changed my server then, as did many others, after witnessing the censorship, but it's fun to see now the mask-off answer of just not liking Luigi.

It's never not pills for me.

You should know thst somewhat recently .world was in hot water because their admins have told their mods that they (the mods) are going to have to engage trolls in good faith. The statements were about forcing their mods to allow some "flat earth" comments to stay, to be unable to ban things like that.

as we just elected them

That's because the system is rigged. We can only ever choose between one rich person and another.

This is sort of a shower thought because this morning I was using some shaving cream and I thought, if it turns out in 5 years this was giving me cancer, I wouldn't be surprised.

Comes out a goo, ejected from a can with force, immediately becomes a foam?

Do you have anything you use that you think might be too good to be true?
