Essentially, if you were a user on his instance he assumed you were there because you wanted his curated version of the fediverse. So his instance ban list got treated like his own personal block list.

Well yeah, I’m not advocating we convert to surface-tensionless water, here. I’m just pointing out the flaw in this meme’s logic.

Now on to serious questions, wtf is an ear chicken?

What stuff in water? Are you referring to drainage?

Guy instance banned a bunch of people simply for speaking up in favor of Luigi, before it got clear how many supporters there were. Admin-wise, some questionable decisions. Still he did a lot of good for Lemmy. Shame to lose him.

Wouldn’t it evaporate in like 5 seconds, then? Also, drainage would be the easiest thing ever. Don’t even need a slanted floor.

Cmon, you’ve posited two extremely improbable scenarios, do you really need others to point out the more likely ones, that don’t involve us going full Mad Max?

UBI is one of the obvious ones. Tax the means of production, and make sure everybody has the basic necessities for survival.

3.5C is when it’s hottest, which is presumably when it’s most needed.

It’s not a miracle, but 3 degrees is noticeable. And for the cost of practically nothing, it’s something anybody can afford to do if they need to. It’s not just about what’s the best solution, but also about accessibility.

You learnt that some people didn’t know that. The more you know!

the yoghurt smells for “30 seconds when drying” but that as soon as it has dried “the smell disappears”.

Also has the advantage of still being transparent.

That’s a classic false dilemma, there’s plenty of other options besides those two extremes.

Wouldn’t call that a job in the current context

You’re not much better, you’re perpetuating nonsense stereotypes.

I don’t see how that would be practical in any shape or form with society as it exists today, TBH. You’re suggesting limitations on what normal people can own, based on the stated purpose of the asset. That’s going to be impossible to enforce. Why are we even getting one ‘commercial’ robot assigned to us? The average joe isn’t going to be able to make use of it effectively. Just tax the robots and make sure everybody has UBI.

Yep, UBI would solve a lot of social issues currently, including the whole scare about AI putting people out of work.

Not sure what you mean about work robot ownership, care to elaborate?

Losing unnecessary jobs is not a bad thing, it’s how we as a society progress. The main problem is not having a safety net or means of support for those who need to find a new line of work.

Atheists and ghosts are not mutually exclusive. They’re just not allowed to worship the ghosts.

This is a legacy of the previous Malaysian govt pushing religion hard as a way to divide the population and retain control. Of course this was bound to happen, but those in power got rich and fat in the process.

So it seems

Assuming you lived in a place with access to a library like you mentioned, that is. For me, libraries were a once a month thing growing up.

Aside from the ridiculousness of reading anything malicious in an unordered comparison list…

In 2012, a great amount of priming research was thrown into doubt as part of the replication crisis. Many of the landmark studies that found effects of priming were unable to be replicated in new trials using the same mechanisms.[10] The experimenter effect may have allowed the people running the experiments to subtly influence them to reach the desired result, and publication bias tended to mean that shocking and positive results were seen as interesting and more likely to be published than studies that failed to show any effect of priming. The result is that the efficacy of priming may have been greatly overstated in earlier literature, or have been entirely illusory.[11][12]
