I think I’m going to stare at the ceiling and think about how that pyramid doesn’t apply to me

Thanks, I learned something today

He’s a very brave man; David standing up to Goliath.

The rest of the Democratic Party should back him and follow in his footsteps – protest and resistance is exactly what we need from our political leaders and representatives right now.

The Democrats can ill afford another period of spinelessness.

I think the grand irony about this thing is that if there really was a bacteria that could eat away it plastic there would be a mass panic – "new dangerous bacteria found eating away at plastic containers, all packaging rotting on store shelves!"

No the great filter is quite a lot more basic than that, things like unstable atmospheres, cosmic ray bursts, collisions, etc.

You’re on the right track though

Haha awesome thrift store find!

Can you tell us anything about the professors?

Bro that cover goes so hard

How is it? Decent 90s music?

Occam’s Razor has to be employed here:

They are both sources of fat, one animal basis, one vegetable basis.

Ultimately, the overall amount of fat consumed and the ratio to carbohydrates is probably key.

People will gladly put butter on bread, but not smear it in olive oil – same with the idea of mashed potatoes.

Yeah the value proposition for the 5080 currently isn’t very good, even at MSRP.

It’s slower than the 4090.

Oh no, in my case, that’s very good.

Lowers stance slowly

“Roll for initiative”

You’re absolutely correct, I had a similar experience

I played CS for roughly the same amount of time; my clan ranges from DMG to Global, but we had a rule that if you were in the clan, we’d 5-man with you regardless of your rank, so if you were Silver, you’d have a chance to rub elbows and learn strategies from the higher skilled players.

Then we got a Global, a girl named Moon.

Holy hell, it’s like people’s brains did a 180°, they were incredibly mean to her, for no reason, and eventually it came out that she was trans, and they bullied her even worse, out of the server.

I kicked everyone who bullied/demonized Moon for being trans; because at the end of the day, it was about being a honest human being, and not just a CS player/gamer.

#5 carried me through three degrees.

It’s because of this bullshit.

Take a guess how many members this server/example community serves:

500? 2000? 10,000+?

Surely, a group of 50,000 needs a ticket system, age verification, moderation, and rules/TOS+registration?

There are twelve users in that chat/server. Three of the 12 are moderators. One is the “owner”.

Discord became a “community tool” because Discord moderators/“creators” are a special class of human being who realized their dream model train set could be upgraded with Internet connectivity.

Medium-to-large-scale-enterprise tooling is available to spin up for anyone, without having to pay for anything. In fact, Discord incentivizes donations through “boosts” where the users of a community pay for server costs rather than the hosts/maintainers themselves.

As a result, people go ham and never invest in proper training, role division or infrastructure. They cosplay at running a pseudo-corporation and Discord adds their requested features, at a price/donation premium.

P.S: I run a Discord channel of 223 users with no moderation, we have one text channel and two voice channels. We use the service like Ventrilo or TeamSpeak for a Steam Clan. I’ve literally had these busybodies from disparate communities join just to tell me I was “doing it wrong”.

P.S.S: I also hate HOAs.

Wait, why is your name in purple

What sorcery is this

A dev?

On Lemmy?

Answering requests?

The prophecy!

I always thought that the zombie infection in fiction was a virus, maybe a fungi, not a prion.

Huh, makes sense - it would have been be something that causes misfolding proteins in the brain.

I’ve got new blue LED bulbs that emit 133 lux while consuming 5 watts of electricity, which is 26.6 lumens/watt.

It is so bright that it blows the room out with blue color/light, so I completely believe this article.

(((Actually, she's wrong -- we'll just simply destroy humanity)))

Woah. She’s like a female version of Darth Maul, but without any clothes on.

Kinda badass, NGL

The fuel that Super Earth relies on and invaded Tyranid space for is called E-710.
