  How about Pitcairn? Y’all control it right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you argue for a cause like affordable housing for everyone, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also own investment properties?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Solid prompt question OP. I see 116 votes and 116 comments, that’s a legit conversation stater.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I may swear like a pirate, but I'm a fucking PRINCIPLED pirate⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Holy shit, that’s a good point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Seems legit.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s funny that not only is there chance, but that your comment or someone making the same joke is the most logical source of this ridiculous bullshit making it into a search result.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kirkland strong⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We usually get the Cascade pods but tried Kirkland this year and haven’t noticed a difference.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lanthanum⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Scrolling from your first meme to this version was too perfect.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The virus she told you not to worry about.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably your mom, the whale.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Expand North! So much room up there.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t get it. The border is north of the UP.

  Why do the straights count?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Guy⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks! This one copied clean into imessage

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨California May Ban Lyft And Uber From AI Price Gouging Users With Low Phone Batteries⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The people making the big bucks in Silicon Valley are often the people really good at understanding psychology and manipulating people’s behavior.

  I honestly would have never thought of this either. I’m one of those traditional losers who thinks providing a good value/service at a sustainable margin is a good way to run a business.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Florida ounces⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Dawg I was like how tf did a Lemmy post get 48k votes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Marco Rubio orders US diplomats to launch lobbying blitz against Europe's tech law⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also NAL and different sizes of platforms have different obligations. Could be wrong that the scenario I described applies to Lemmy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Marco Rubio orders US diplomats to launch lobbying blitz against Europe's tech law⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m ignoring the US politics for a moment…

  If I flag a comment on Lemmy for abuse, breaking community rules, or other reasons, do you y’all think I am individually owed a response from the mod team on whether the content stays approved, or was removed, that includes the specific criteria behind the decision?

  That’s what the DSA requires among many other requirements.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hand cranked and twisted⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I did not know the second part. TIL

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hertz' AI System That Scans for "Damage" on Rental Cars Is Turning Into an Epic Disaster⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I rent through Costco and try to pick Alamo when possible. Avis is decent but they often share a line with Budget which can take forever.

  I’m not a loyalty member of any brand for reference.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cheat Codes Activated⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ha I think there’s a long list of enhancements that many women do that more men should do. Put effort into your outfit, smell decent, drink a little less than normal when on a date.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨crypto investment⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Except for PCG…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hotels have developed a new revenue stream: "algorithmic" smoke detectors⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I see people talking about chargebacks in this thread which is the logical course of action for a case like this.

  What’s nefarious about this is that Hilton and Merriot each own a ton of hotels. If you chargeback multiple times against one of those groups you could get block listed from their locations which can get very problematic in locales without much competition.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grandma is on her own⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah of course. I think Boston as well and maybe that super federal (NOVA?) part around DC.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grandma is on her own⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like the SF Bay Area, SoCal, NY, GTA, VAN, or London.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Video] BBC cuts away during pro-Palestine musicians Kneecap. The followup act Bob Vylan invents a new chant on live TV⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Brits are so fucking good at chants. Caught the quick rhythm and even the melody in just a bar.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨THIS always annoys me.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a good question. The flat fee is already covered by your item purchase, so at worst it would be 2.5-3.5% of the donation amount, which isn’t terrible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tips off the cops⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t understand the post title.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft shuts down email account of International Criminal Court chief prosecutor⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure but this looks like Microsoft complying with sanctions. I was unaware sanctions were applied to the ICC, which is complete nonsense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We finally moved in!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I love the two tone upper and down low color scheme. Counters, backsplash, and island block look great.

  Can I ask what’s up with the 2x6 blocking above the range hood?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EU fines Apple $568m for deterring third-party payment methods on App Store⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah it’s arguable that Steam is a monopoly but somehow billion dollar publishers can’t create a store to sell their own products without fucking it up with annoying bullshit. Pay the 30% to protect you from yourselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google is killing privacy sandbox in Chrome.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Google has been kicking the can on ending third party cookie support for years. Chrome has such a large market share that whatever they decide to do has a huge impact on the ability to monetize content with ads.

  There’s no clear direct replacement for identifying users for ad targeting outside of 3pty cookies. Lots of competing ‘privacy preserving frameworks’ but they all need buy in from many players at scale to be effective.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Switch 2 details: Screen size, controllers, storage, microphone chat and games⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I distinctly remember N64 games being $60 in the late 90s. We saved a lot with digital downloads vs retail over the years but it is funny that games have largely been level in price for 30 years at this point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨my dreams in colour⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah i forgot it was Pterodactyl specifically, thanks for confirming!

  P.S. to my handler at the agency, please forgive my search history this morning. The video above is what I was trying to find.
