“in over a century of successful use prior to the Arecibo Telescope’s collapse, all the forensic investigations agreed that such a spelter socket failure had never been reported.” The report went on: “The only hypothesis the committee could develop that provides a plausible but unprovable answer … is that the socket zinc creep was unexpectedly accelerated in the Arecibo Telescope’s uniquely powerful electromagnetic radiation environment.” In other words, the sockets’ role in suspending such a powerful radio transmitter somehow contributed to the 2020 catastrophe.

interesting.

they are using a different voice actor.

“immigration” is just the euphemism they use for racial and cultural contamination.

exactly, the only reason they care about “immigration” is because they’re afraid of losing their precious racial and cultural majority. Immigration is a blatant dogwhistle for racists.

testing the waters. probably would have kept doing it if they weren’t caught, or tried on a larger scale in future elections.

jfc I hope you reported that app.

the county totals don’t matter for president, it is counted statewide.

I understand the bases. I don’t understand all the people who won’t vote at all.

We NEED to hear others, if not just for the fact that others may NEED to hear our voices too.

We have tried engaging in good faith, but they don’t WANT to hear us. For example, the mods of [email protected] (specifically https://lemmy.ml/u/OurToothbrush) ban for people for simply disagreeing with them. Happened to me and I’ve seen multiple others.

This is about open-source being open.

tell that to the mods of [email protected] who ban you for disagreeing with them.

I think the fair thing to do, is to respond in the same scale (i. e. blocking specific users) instead of going all ballistic with instance blocks.

it’s not just random users, the mods of larger communities like [email protected] will delete your comments and ban you simply for disagreeing with them.

yep I got banned from there for simply stating that ukraine has a right to defend themselves after Modi called for “peace”. Apparently absolute pacifism is only required from one side.

republicans would NEVER

yeah I’m sure there is a contract and/or standard legal processes that covers this situation. I’m just saying I wouldn’t rely on a casual interaction with a store manager to cover my ass legally, all for the benefit of putting Doom on a computer kiosk, or outright taking dozens of DVDs.

I’m also not sure “just ask the store manager if you can have it” is a good idea. It’s not theirs, and even though Redbox is going through bankruptcy it’s still an asset of the company that can be liquidated to pay debts. Most likely no one will want to buy them, but just seems like a silly risk for tinkering’s sake.

Instead of blocking, X advises that users take their account private, the antithesis to what X and its progenitor Twitter was about.

so basically remove your voice from the public sphere, giving the platform fully to the trolls and bullies.

This will also majorly affect professionals who must use twitter publicly for their job. Reporters, artists, PR people, etc. - they have all had to block abusive users over the years, so I think this may finally push them away to other platforms.

in my experience those are usually contracts you sign for a period of time. might not be able to get around that.

my LG is from 2021. it is a little tricky to opt out of everything because the various options are scattered in different places in the settings, but once I did all that it hasn’t bothered me.

never go full RFKjr.
