I'm going to 2nd the other guy - flooding the zone with shit is already something I see often in various lemmy communities. If you think commenters will read articles and actually present proof if something's wrong, you have a much higher expectation from the people here than they're actually capable of. People barely/never read the actual articles. They look at the title and the vote counts and comment/vote/think accordingly.

MBFC is at least an easy way to remove the obvious bad stuff. Yea, it's not perfect, but it's a thousand times better than expecting the community to self-moderate legitimate sources.

Do you also get annoyed when something not actually cold is called cool? Or if someone doesn't actually get to a task "in a minute"?

If literally everyone in CA was actually sick, that would have a bigger impact than late-2020 COVID. I'd prefer if language wasn't catered to the type of person who doesn't recognize the post title is an exaggeration to convey seriousness.

It’s getting there. The FTC proposed new rules two days ago to update COPPA to curb advertisers farming children’s data and prevent them from enticing kids to stay persistently online

Definitely not shitty-bad, but it seemed like a Seinfeld moment. Looks like he's still a small artist so I won't name him here - but a guy I sat next to on a plane turned out to have drawn/designed the shirt I wore that day. We were having a nice chat when the discussion turned to the CCP and his admiration for their authoritative actions.

I definitely Noped out mentally from the conversation, but we still kept talking for a while because.... well we were on a plane. Was still a nice guy (to me) - just ...interesting.. views.

Corpo donors probably don't care about them winning the presidency. They're doing it to get their foot in the door when the primary candidates inevitably end up in office positions.

Donations from the general public? I have no fuckin idea what the reasoning there could be

He fucking does say it. Multiple times across different sources. That’s literally why he’s quitting the senate. You people just don’t read past headlines so you don’t see it.

No. Chapter 2 is short compared to the others. And it's 3 playthroughs to beat the game. It's not one run of 5 chapters.

If people can't be bothered to beat the second chapter to play multiplayer, then they're just going to ragequit when they get stomped online anyway.

....what? I'm saying the claim that this is a performative gesture to score conservative votes is made up.

But since we're on the center of biological diversity, I'm going to question this site's information too.

Biden Administration Waives Laws to Rush Border Wall Construction Through Texas Wildlife Refuge

Section 2 of the document linked in my post above has the location for the barriers/walls/roads/whatever you want to call it. I noticed that a few of them mention the refuge, but none of them mention going through them - only going up to the border... and that's it.

"useless, medieval wall " - from the site.

Explicitly not what this construction is. This site's motivation is questionable.

Understandable. But a simple search gives a pretty straightforward answer here. I would understand the need for clarification if it were a complicated concept, but this is isn't that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixth_grade

Sixth grade (also 6th Grade or Grade 6) is the sixth year of formal or compulsory education. Students in sixth grade are usually 11-12 years old. It is commonly the first or second grade of middle school or the last grade of elementary school, and the sixth school year since kindergarten.

Looks like a pretty common term in many countries to me.
