A guy at my work got promoted to manager and celebrated by tattooing the company logo onto his chest. Pretty much everyone had to hold back laughing when he showed it off.

I honestly want to know what the game plan is for the 100 men. Like do you plan on knocking out the 400 pound animal with a spin kick to the head or what?

My understanding is German memes are often written in broken German on purpose as some kind of meta joke. It might be trying to learn English to understand “I can haz cheezburger?” memes

Pop!_OS, suspend. Rebooting causes Steam to forget about my second drive and I need to reselect it. I don’t need to do that if I use suspend.

I feel like there’s always been a culture of boys and young men who didn’t respect women, there’s just never been podcasters actively promoting it.

The internet allows idiots to broadcast their message worldwide and social media promotes the most controversial stuff in order to drive engagement and, more recently, to promote a culture war that keeps the populus divided.

Appropriate that you used tea bags because it’s a popular legend that tea bags were created after customers misused the product. Some tea sellers started selling their tea in silk bags with the intention that customers would remove the leaves from the bag before use. Instead, customers dipped the bag of leaves directly into water.

Easy, just name the second kid Nadir.

Feed her a stew that makes her blind for a day

Likely this. Gift cards are popular purchases when using stolen credit card details. The online order makes it easier since there’s no physical card/chip needing to be replicated.

Not everyone has tics they must surpress while in public.

So it’s about a billionaire punishing intellectuals who want to reshape society?

so that some RAs can feed the homework back through a different AI to handle the grading for them.

Reminds me of this comic

Nazi Germany signed agreements with European and Soviet countries to not invade them and then did it anyways.

I live my life two fifths of a kilometer at a time.

That’s Richard Stallman. He made FreeBSD which is a distro of Linux.

You’re copying the idea of brilliant entrepreneur Chabuddy G.

Yes. The graphics card in particular is one of the best on the market and the same one I have. It’s also a decent price when converted to Canadian Dollars.

Lemmy.world has a lot of users and more users means more downvotes. It also happens to have a lot of news and political communities which attracts a lot of strong opinions.

Personally, I find the only function of downvotes is to discourage contributing and discourse, and that seems antithetical to what this platform is supposed to be about.

I’m not entirely familiar with the controversy, but from your link it appears that the Lemmy.world admin team announced a moderation policy that didn’t go over too well and now they’re reconsidering.

When someone runs a Lemmy instance, they are the administrators of the instance and have full control over everything that happens on it. By default, users can create accounts and communities on the instance. The user that creates a community is the moderator of that community and can control what gets posted within it. There’s an overlap of authority between the instance admin and the community mod, as they both have the ability to decide what content gets posted, and sometimes that creates issues.

The issue here seems to be that the Lemmy.world admin team doesn’t want community mods “creating narratives” by removing posts they do not agree with. In their rescinded announcement, they give an example that if a user makes a post in a community about how the Earth is flat, the community mod shouldn’t be allowed to remove it. Instead, the community must respond to the post with debate or downvotes. Mods who remove these posts, instead of allowing debate, would be in violation of the instance admin policy and would be stripped of their moderation powers by the admins. The moderator of !unpopularopinion@lemmy.world (and some other community mods) blocked new posts to their community as a protest to the admin decision (which is now on hold).

That’s definitely a terrible take but there’s no reason to downvote it. I don’t think you’re trolling. You just have a different opinion and that’s fine.
