If you like it being dark by 4

I lived in New England for a couple of decades. Trust me, you’re not.

So looking at the US map, it looks like a lot of the red zones are because they’ve arbitrarily defined the borders of the time zone. But US time zones are mostly concerned with making sure that the country is roughly evenly spaced across time zones. Really the northeastern part of the country is what’s out of alignment.

To give me something to do on my phone during work hours since there’s no way I’m touching the official reddit client

I started and finished The Case of the Golden Idol. Good stuff. Playing the sequel now.

Do you think the best way to help homeless people is to give them money directly, or donate it to organizations that help them? Not sure if there’s a right answer.

Because most people don’t actually know any trans people, and find unfamiliar things to be weird and scary.

But also because terrible people have weaponized those feelings for personal political gain. Most people probably wouldn’t give a fuck, even if they found them weird, if talking heads weren’t stoking the flames of bigotry.

It is slightly the fault of the email clients for the sender that often don’t show BCC by default. It probably would be reasonable for email clients to put a warning up if people are sending to a large number of people without using BCC.

The solution is if you’re sending a mass email that shouldn’t be replied to you use BCC. So it’s really the sender’s fault

Outlook does give a warning now if you’re sending to a distro list

I guess we’ll see.

I’ve found out from Facebook before. But sometimes you don’t find out until years after the facts.

Obituaries exist too.

Can’t threaten to kill the hostage if I kill the hostage first. Checkmate.

I dunno if I just discovered them but I was playing Sexy Parodius and Harmful Park. I’m really bad at both.

The “interior” region especially makes no sense. Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, North Dakota? Pretty much all of those places have wildly different culture from one another.

Even if trump doesn’t do everything in project 2025, the supreme court picks mean we’re basically ultra fucked. Like, that’s best case.

Which doesn’t matter anyway because he hasn’t been sentenced.

It’s just a completely different use case. It may or may not continue to exist on its own but it will never replace twitter because it does not have the core thing that makes twitter special among social media (the fact that it is essentially “public”). “A bunch of small communities of nerds talking about niche topics” is something you can find friggin anywhere on the internet.

Honestly I find it a little weird that Lemmy is so pro-Mastodon. Like a lot of people when the twitter implosion started I went and parked a username on a few potential replacements. And like a lot of people, when I saw that mastodon was all little specific instances, I didn’t bother because the whole point of twitter is that it’s a big public thing with everybody and everything. I haven’t really seen anybody outside of Lemmy mention mastodon in months. Everyone is going to bluesky.

Mounds/Almond Joy. Yuck. Always threw those out as a kid (well OK probably gave them to my mother).

Look guys, the law is not code. It is not if(strcmp(speech, “kill”) then return guilty();. There’s this whole concept of mens rea which means a required element of the crime is whether or not he meant it as a threat to her, which you will note requires human judgement (by a jury!) to evaluate. It is highly unlikely that anyone would take this rhetoric, violent and gross as it may be, as a plausible threat against Liz Cheney by Trump.
