This is already a thing that happens currently. Some admins/moderators don’t like being downvoted and ban people for “vote manipulation” because they vote on things in their feed.

It is leading to exactly that, where people are worried that using the voting system as intended will lead to exclusion from participation in some communities.

You end up with echo chambers by blocking people and communities you don’t like.

Downvoted content is not only still visible, half the sorting options ignore it.

This is terrible advice

Most humans aren’t hunters at all

Probably Monty Python’s Life of Brian

I was one of those Holy Grail kids, I loved the movie and memorized the lines. Wanting more, I looked up other Monty Python works

I was in 7th grade or something, raised in a very religious home. I was not expecting what Life of Brian was, and I know I wasn’t old enough to understand all of the jokes they made

Hilarious movie

North America. Is there a pattern of difference?

Who the fuck is Moe?

Zero issues, everything works exactly as I expect

Not to say no issues exist, but I have encountered none, and that is data

Because you touch yourself at night

This is what I’ve been saying. I think it should go even further and give admins a default block list of users.

A lot of folks talk about how Lemmy became useable after they spent hours (or sometimes a month) blocking the right communities and users, but most social media users don’t want to work that hard, they just want to start doomscrolling.

I have had closee friends get very mad at me for making this point.

Netanyahu is bloodthirsty. Biden is spineless. This doesn’t absolve him of his complicity, but they are distinct issues, and they should be addressed accordingly.

There are many responses. Not all of them are right

Well in Rain Man, he counted 246 toothpicks (“82, 82, 82.”) out of 250

Dr. Jan Itor was a huge part of what made Scrubs what it is

“who wants to shoot a billionaire?”

Which network is this on? I don’t usually like reality tv, but this sounds fascinating

There are very few situations where a dead man’s switch would have helped these whistleblowers.

Once they have gone public and are at risk of being “suicided” they should have already released everything they knew. Sitting on it after already going public in any way only helps if the goal is to blackmail or extort the company, rather than to expose the company or protect others.

A lot of people have latched onto the idea of a dead man’s switch (and I get it, technical solutions are fun to create), but the only part of the scenario it would help is before the whistleblower goes public, while they are still gathering information and haven’t yet been discovered by the company. Even then, it wouldn’t protect them from being killed, it would only ensure that the partial work is released in case they were discovered and prevented from finishing it.

The Tick.

I really enjoyed the comic book hero shows, and The Tick and Freakazoid were great fun to watch as parodies of the genre.

I was so happy to see The Tick get a couple of seasons as an Amazon show.

Doc was a physics nerd from the 1880s into the 2010s. He didn’t do cli, he did lower level than that.

But why bother holding back in the first place. If this is whistleblower information like Boeing safety issues, there’s no point in setting up a dead man’s switch. You want to release it all immediately in the first place, because keeping it to yourself undermines the point of blowing the whistle

With whistleblower information, why hold it back in the first place? Wouldn’t it be better to release it immediately if they might kill you either way?

I avoid eye contact and hope I didn’t disrupt his day
