Either they’re all ironic [] or none of them are ironic
Textbook false dichotomy, and not how I read it at all. Setup->Punchline is the most basic joke format in existence.

…and, without any sense of introspection whatsoever, continuing to miss the point…

“Is it possible I’ve completely missed the point? No, it must be everybody else here who’s wrong!”

Magritte would like a word
- Comment on 5 days ago:
yes but actually no. There’s a hidden pull cord under the bottom mat of the “map pocket” that you have to remove, along with whatever else you were storing in there at the time. That’s assuming the cord hasn’t fallen out of reach inside the door or otherwise become inaccessible during the accident, of course.
The owner’s manual section on “how to open the door if there’s no power” spans 4 pages (viewed on mobile) and has 3 diagrams to illustrate the steps.
(incidentally, opening the frunk with no power is a separate page with ten steps and begins, “To open the powered frunk when Cybertruck has no power, you need a power source that provides between 9V and 16.5V”… it’s like they’re trying to be shit.)
- Comment on Loops is a new short form platform created by Pixelfed creator Daniel Supernault. 5 days ago:
Newish account to promote loops
Probably, but it seems to be an open-source fediverse community project with no VC backing, so I don’t begrudge them it. Like, how else do you get projects like this seen if not in a fediverse discussion community, you want them to just buy Google ads instead?
- Comment on meanwhile on instagram 6 days ago:
A significant part of Jesus’ teachings is “don’t claim to speak on behalf of God”. Whoever made this meme is a blasphemer.
- Comment on AI blamed again as hard drives are sold out for this year 6 days ago:
It’s extremely unhealthy for a free society, to have too much power imbalance between the ruling classes and the people.
- Comment on I don't know the reason why. 6 days ago:
I also thought this was a joke until I read the comments. Pistachios have always been pistachio coloured in the rest of the world.
There’s something very American about drowning a perfectly healthy natural product in brightly coloured dye.

military ufos
So, not aliens then.

The sightings stopped happening round about exactly the same time as everyone started carrying a video camera in their pocket.

Is it me or are people just not that bothered about aliens, compared to in the 90s?

Most old UFO sightings were in areas that are now known to be places where drone technology was being developed and tested.
- Comment on Star Trek: Starfleet Academy actor Kareem Diané decides to do their AMA on Lemmy! 1 week ago:
Yeah. I’m a big fan of his, but his social media presence has always had the whiff of “professional social media team” about it.
- Comment on Mark Zuckerberg Lied to Congress. We Can’t Trust His Testimony. 1 week ago:
It would have been so easy for influencewatch to write that in a neutral way, but they couldn’t help themselves from editorializing their very clear opinions into it.
- Comment on Texas Republican Primary having a normal one 1 week ago:
So basically they’re fine with a HOA making all sorts of overreaching rules about keeping dogs as long as they don’t have any basis in a brown people religion?
- Comment on Hopefully, he will be 6 underground by that time. 1 week ago:
LOL, the sole one single point I made in my post is that I only ever see assertions without evidence, and your response is a bit of handwaving and an ad hominem. Thanks for demonstrating my point so perfectly.
- Comment on Hopefully, he will be 6 underground by that time. 1 week ago:
Literally anything other than bad faith conspiracy-theory assertions, please.
- Comment on Hopefully, he will be 6 underground by that time. 1 week ago:
They’re accelrrationist who want conditions to get so bad that their ideas actually seem good.
I’ve seen this claim made a few times before, and it’s never accompanied by a shred of evidence.
- Comment on Uhhhh sure? 1 week ago:
I’m willing to bet that sometime between last year and now, an LLM got involved.
- Comment on One of the most interesting things that happens when you are old 1 week ago:
Does it count if it was 2020 and the person is also your age? I feel like a LOT of people have a weirdly revisionist memory of the first few months of the pandemic.
- Comment on One of the most interesting things that happens when you are old 1 week ago:
Haven’t had that yet, but having travelled a lot I find it jarring how many other countries seem to think that Thatcher was a great leader to look up to, and not a dreadful callous nightmare who sold the country out on multiple levels to create the illusion of prosperity, and even that only for the sort of people that voted for her.

I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not because that is an awful argument.

- Comment on Google criticizes Europe's plan to adopt free software 1 week ago:
If we’re playing “everyone who disagrees with me must be a shill”, how much is your agency billing Google to simp for them on social media?
- Comment on Google criticizes Europe's plan to adopt free software 1 week ago:
To me it feels like there’s two Googles. The one that was run by Page and Brin was awesome, pretty much everyone in the industry wanted to work there.
Then they put someone else in charge to maximise shareholder revenue, and it went to shit soon after.
- Comment on Google criticizes Europe's plan to adopt free software 1 week ago:
I’m going to throw that accusation of disinformation right back at you. He’s careful not to use the words “open source” verbatim, but it’s very clear what he’s talking about.
Every detail of the article is a fair summary of what he said, and you’re trying to pettifog over a string match.
- Comment on Google criticizes Europe's plan to adopt free software 1 week ago:
I’m not clear on what your point is then. Your initial “it will be a struggle to get rid of” pivoted to “abrupt event”.
If you’re trying to make the case that we should all move off MS as soon as possible in order to avoid the damage of an abrupt event then yeah I’m in complete agreement.
- Comment on Google criticizes Europe's plan to adopt free software 1 week ago:
I don’t see how that’s true. It’s a little bit of a change to go to open source. Might need a day of training for a small percentage of particularly slow-minded staff members. Definitely nowhere near “organization is no longer viable” territory.
- Comment on Google criticizes Europe's plan to adopt free software 1 week ago:
Remember, whenever you see a patently weak argument like this from a trillion dollar corporation, they’re not saying it because they think anyone will believe it. They’re saying it to give the corrupt politicians in their pocket some way to pull a straight face when voting in the corporation’s favour.
