Chozo

Ahh, a voice changer right where it belongs: on the ankle.

I sometimes get fresh tortillas from the grocery store bakery, and the bags they use are the absolute worst. The zip-locks are fine, but the plastic the bag is made of is so thin that it can’t withstand the pressure needed to open the zipper, inevitably tearing the bag open and defeating the entire purpose of the zip-lock.

I think you need to find better drug dealers.

Trains are also pretty miserable for long distance trips. We took an Amtrak from Chicago to LA once for a family vacation a long time ago. It was so miserable that we flew back.

Got to see a lot of the country, though! I’d like to imagine that trains have gotten more comfortable in the last 20 years, but the realist in me very much doubts that, so I probably won’t be doing any long train rides again any time soon.

Just to add an extra dystopian layer: the separation of church and state doesn’t apply, because the prisons are all privately-owned and operated.

Here’s an excellent video where a VFX artist uses CGI tools to visualize what said biomass would look like:

You can go to 6:20 if you don’t care about the methodology used to calculate the mass and just wanna see the ant tidal wave moneyshot.

From the paper that you definitely read and understood and didn’t just copy/paste a random line from:

According to current knowledge benefits of aspartame use outweighs the possible side effects, hence this artificial sweetener remains basic excipient in products.

But I’m sure Lemmy/Mbin probably won’t federate with Pixelfed, or Peertube.

Technically, they do! It’s not fully-integrated yet so the process is a bit hackish, but because the ActivityPub protocol works mostly the same on the backend, content from any of these platforms can appear on the others without much issue.

The biggest issue just has to do with the way you actually interact with each platform may not translate well on another compatible platform. For example, Pixelfed typically nests replies to comments only one layer deep, whereas Lemmy or Mbin will nest many layers deep. The actual nesting still works just fine when you view Pixelfed comments on Lemmy, and if you join in the conversation and reply in the middle of the thread, your post will nest properly for you and will show inline as normal for Pixelfed users. So in some instances, you may need to know a bit about what platform you’re posting to, on top of the platform you’re posting from.

There’s other quirks like Mastodon replies typically being preceded with @ing the user they’re replying to, which isn’t a thing on the Lemmy side of things. It doesn’t really change the way posting works, and you can choose to not do it and things will still work fine.

The unattainable is unknown at Zombo Com.

Allegedly, the legit fmovies mirrors are all down. The sites currently accessible are supposedly all clones.

At least, that’s what I’ve been able to gather. There’s a lot of mixed messages floating around this topic right now.

I’m not sure what the difference between SubClub or Patreon is supposed to be. Other than SubClub takes a smaller cut.

Imagine if these were dog-sized.

I mean, how else do you expect things to work? Internet platforms aren’t free to operate. Isn’t paying creators directly supposed to be the ideal solution, instead of infesting pages with ads?

I’d like to think so, but part of me suspects that a large amount of the current users are on mobile exclusively. The old layout isn’t mobile-optimized at all, so those users are probably on the current UI.

There’s plenty of amateur nazi content there, as well.

The cheek prints on the cushion are an excellent touch.

The state fair are a bunch of turds. Art is meant to provoke.

If you don’t tell them

is different from

when they ask “did you change that thing?” you deny it

I’m just being a stickler for the active vs passive method of letting the victim question their sanity.

That’s not what gaslighting is.

I had a site-wide, week-long ban for saying that Nazis who got punched in the face deserved it. Fuck that place, lmao

The API-based deletion tools usually have to be tuned to delete posts slowly enough to not trigger Reddit’s abuse detection. Otherwise, they’ll automatically undo bulk changes like that.

There’s no way I can manually edit and delete all of my content with the snail’s-pace reddit UI

This is, unfortunately, the only way to guarantee that your posts stay deleted. My account was 15 years old. I still log in every few weeks or so to go manually delete more comments. It’ll be a while.
