Because we live in a world where it’s easy to block offensive words, so much so that the powers that be like to pretend that blocking talk about the 'cest is somehow an effective tool in combating it. (When instead it just coins an endless stream of new words that act as synonyms for ‘the bad words’. 'Cause funk you. Funk you to heck!)

^this
I don’t need the tool giving me its opinion. I usually use alternativeto.net to find more open alternatives, but if someone has tried open source and is looking for proprietary solutions, doesn’t hurt me to see all options presented reasonably fairly.

I think they’re a person who’s honestly in a dark place.
I think they’re objectively wrong about the ‘Saddam being linked to 9/11’ thing, and I worry that they’ve been a bit lost in their own head a bit.
The idea that data was deleted isn’t meritless in the sense that between enshittification and Musk’s tech bros there’s good reason to believe censorship and destruction have occurred recently (and they’re only the latest in a long line of maliciously maligned actors).
But I agree that their posts are so ridiculously textbook schizophrenic, that I do wonder if it’s an act. Yet, nonetheless it costs me little to be kind. 😅
- Comment on Can anyone identify this colony formation? 5 days ago:
I’ll stop referring to sources that could have been altered, when you start providing specifics about who you think deleted what and why?
- Comment on Can anyone identify this colony formation? 5 days ago:
I’m not trusting any external source here. I grew up under the Bush presidency and simply remember the whole fiasco.
Bush and friends invented the link to justify their prior war plans, when pushed to prove there was a connection, Bush failed to produce evidence.
You’re implying Bush (or … someone?) had the evidence that would have vindicated him, but rather than share it, deliberately buried it and successfully hid it from the whole world?
- Comment on Can anyone identify this colony formation? 5 days ago:
You do realize that reads like you’re off your meds.
I work in IT. There have definitely been several attacks on the quality of information available to the general public in the last few decades, but none that I would qualify as a singular “the”
Could you be more specific on which attack (or by whom) you’re referring to?
- Comment on Can anyone identify this colony formation? 6 days ago:
Can you cite where Saddam is involved in 9/11? Again, it’s generally accepted history that the Bush Administration claimed he supported the attacks, never presented evidence he was involved, then later admitted he was not involved.
- Comment on Can anyone identify this colony formation? 6 days ago:
Are you conflating Osama Bin Laden with Saddam Hussein, for whom as summarized by wikipedia:
In 2003, a US-led coalition invaded Iraq, falsely accusing him of developing weapons of mass destruction and of having ties with al-Qaeda.
I know this is a shitpost, but I don’t want to spread old, debunked propaganda.

Summer in Arizona feels like what I imagine living in space feels like - sure you can ‘suit up’ and temporarily endure the outside if needed, but radiation will immediately start saping your strength. Life is about going from one environment with life support (“AC”) to another environment with life support.

I don’t live in a state that advertises the toys as novelties, but all the toys at my sex shop are body safe. I have to imaging the ‘totally not a sex store’ novelty shop is probably also seeking the same suppliers, just different packaging
- Comment on Who is the enemy? 2 weeks ago:
That’s my point - Q-tips and novelty toys are both more commonly used for their off-label functionality because listing that on the label is inconvenient for the maker.

What’s in a name? Legally speaking, your brain and nervous system would be classified as an ‘unintentional radiator’ (MRIs work because of this fact) and as such would fall under regulated devices if we weren’t legal persons.
I used ‘unregulated’ (errantly if you insist) to mean both unlicensed and also use cases where FCC isn’t actively enforcing the regulations on the books, cause technically virtually everything is ‘regulated’.

Like Metastatic on LoRA?
Or maybe we’ll use software defined radios (SDR) to transmit on other unregulated bands (as a hacker, you can often force the software to believe it’s in the wrong region to transmit on bands the FTC didn’t approve, as long as it’s legal somewhere.

Q-tips aren’t meant to go in the ear the same way adult novelty toys aren’t meant to go in the butt.

Do it - the macro effect comes from the scores of people who only have an MBA. Adding a business degree to an engineering degree likely won’t change your understanding of reality your grounded engineering view gives you.

El título de la publicación es “We all had one”, la broma es que este es un artículo doméstico común
El comentario principal de los padres es “We did not.”, es una protesta de que de hecho no poseen una plumbus.
Entonces @somerandomperson@lemmy.dbzer0.com vació su cajón de orina por alguna razón.
Creo que puedo haber perdido el hilo aquí, en alguna parte, pero espero haber ayudado.

Post title is “We all had one”, the joke being that this is a common household item
Top Parent comment is “We did not”, is a protestation that they do not in fact own a plumbus.
Then @somerandomperson@lemmy.dbzer0.com flushed their piss drawer for some reason.
I think I may have lost the thread here, somewhere, but I hope I’ve helped.
