“A quick pique behind the curtain.”

Am I doing this right?

Remotely-driven robotaxis seem like the worst option available. I’m imagining a whole cubicle farm LARPing GTA5.

They’ve got one in Honolulu. They’ve got one in Moscow, too. There are four of them in Sydney, and a couple in Kathmandu. … Wherever you go around the world you’ll find an Irish Pub.

Which is why old people are the only ones with money.

They’ve paid off their houses. They’ve paid off their cars. Their income is higher, but their living expenses are lower, so their savings and investments are higher. They ultimately hold the notes on everyone else’s home loans and car loans.

Old people are the only ones with the disposable income accessible to advertisers. Old people are the only ones with money.

Old people are the only ones with any money.

Why assume it started off as a sphere? Everything makes sense if it started off as an irregular blob.

Suppose South Africa is declared a US territory.

Doubtful that a rubber dong is capable of communicating consent, and you can’t grant consent on behalf of another. Anon might indeed be a rapist, but girl is a sex trafficker.

Sounds like it should break off into its own state, getting us two more senators and EC votes.

Lemmy really needs an app with a de-moderation feature, like Uneddit did for Reddit.

The modlog is great, but it relies on the user going out and looking for power-tripping mods. A better option would be a client app that parses an instance’s mod log and restores and highlights moderated comments.

Censorship might be necessary on today’s platforms, but it is still an evil. Censors need to be closely monitored by the community.

Yeah, it hasn’t federated to my instance yet. I wasn’t seeing any posts, or any way to interact with the community at all. Right now, only one post is currently visible from my instance.

I really want to see what happens if the president-elect strokes out after the EC votes are cast on December 17th, but before they are counted on January 6th. Theoretically, we could have a Harris/Vance, or a Vance/Walz administration.

Reddits were often called refrigerators long before electric refrigerators were common.

FTFY.

Seems to be locked, with zero posts…

Edit: Disregard… Hasn’t federated yet…

Ok? So?

I’d like to compare lists with a bunch of people like OP. It would be handy for average Lemmings to know which communities have moderators with sandy cracks. It would be super useful for admins looking to improve their mod teams.

Are you saying there aren’t a metric fuckton of power-tripping nutjobs in self-appointed positions of authority in the Fediverse?

It was a great way (in theory) to sidestep a bullshit law. It increased everyone’s privacy, by doing away with the bullshit partitions we have in most public restrooms.

But it got misrepresented in the press with both sides accusing the other of wanting to spy on kids in the bathroom.

Mike DeWine Wednesday that will bar transgender students in public and private Ohio schools from using “multi-occupancy facility”—bathrooms, as well as locker rooms, changing room, or shower rooms—that match their gender identity.

There was a post a few weeks back about a school that solved this problem by converting a “multi-occupancy facility” into private toilet stalls, and converted the handwashing area into a “public space” instead of leaving it as part of the “multi-occupancy facility”.

And they pissed off pretty much everyone.

They did convert the stalls into separate rooms with full-height walls and doors, but to convert the handwashing area to a public space, they installed a window from the handwashing area to the hallway.

They wear their old heads, because they don’t have access to dead salmon.

clearly, they are underworked if they have time for this bullshit.
