- Comment on How do people actually dumpster dive to get free food? Are there any other cheap/free ways like this to get food? 4 days ago:
I’ve rarely done it myself but my roommate did lots and she got lots of things. Fancier grocery stores are usually the best. Depending on the neighborhood they can be locked though. Wealthier areas will have fewer people scrounging so more likely to be unlocked.
If you are a novice, start with non-perishable goods. Perishable goods can sometimes be fine too but requires more judgement.
That said, I have to believe that there must be more services available to you somewhere. Is there some office in your local government that can provide advice?
- Comment on [Serious] Any high-quality right-wing media, books, explainers? 6 days ago:
If you’re looking for credible conservatives who actually confront the shortcomings of capitalism, I can’t think of any. But these early writings were pretty well-thought out and are foundational to later ideas, so I think they’re worth reading.

I was so sure some of these names were made up.
- Comment on If presidential immunity is absolute.. 1 week ago:
Don’t need to worry about looks if all your opponents are dead. Only revolution could save us from such a regime, and not a sure thing even then.
- Comment on Are there any innovative platforms in the Fediverse? 1 week ago:
The problem with this innovation is that federation is hard for people to understand, let alone see the benefits of.
It’s easy to innovate. But innovations will only draw new users if those users can see the benefits of the innovation to them. I’m not sure federation passes this test on its own. So finding other ways to improve the social media experience may be necessary for the fediverse to succeed in replacing corporate sites.
- Comment on Does Instagram or YouTube Shorts get you? 1 week ago:
I don’t use TikTok but would say no, their algorithm is poor at predicting what I like. But I have little interest in short videos like that. Most things worth saying take some time to explain.

It can if we do it ourselves. Leaders have failed us for decades. It’s up to ordinary people to bring change.
- Comment on geoengineering 2 weeks ago:
Definitely a possible outcome.
- Comment on geoengineering 2 weeks ago:
I don’t disagree at all but this seems to be a common misconception. See the OP from the Twitter thread and the angry bees I’ve enraged.
- Comment on geoengineering 2 weeks ago:
I just want to point out that there is almost zero scientific evidence to suggest that climate change will cause the extinction of humanity, and substantial evidence to the contrary.
It may make the world a much worse place to live, but the doomers are almost as unscientific as the deniers.
Queue angry buzzing noises.
- Comment on House Moves Toward Bundling TikTok Bill With Aid to Ukraine and Israel 3 weeks ago:
I could see that being an improvement, although it’s not terribly different from the current system. It might be clearer for the public to understand.
On the other hand, reps would have to explain to their constituents why they voted for the kicking puppies act which people might have trouble grasping.
- Comment on House Moves Toward Bundling TikTok Bill With Aid to Ukraine and Israel 3 weeks ago:
I think it’s a good method for achieving compromise. If the various factions perceive more benefit than cost, the bill passes. Obviously some bad things get snuck in, but you get good things out of it as well.
Even if your personal calculus is that this bill does more harm then good, I don’t think banning this method is a good idea.
- Comment on House Moves Toward Bundling TikTok Bill With Aid to Ukraine and Israel 3 weeks ago:
There is certainly a level of disfunction that it can’t overcome and we may have reached that.
- Comment on House Moves Toward Bundling TikTok Bill With Aid to Ukraine and Israel 3 weeks ago:
Well I don’t know which star you mean but a lot of them are not divided the way then federal government is.
- Comment on House Moves Toward Bundling TikTok Bill With Aid to Ukraine and Israel 3 weeks ago:
Because it’s the only way to get things done in a divided government?
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
I have read lots of history but I take your meaning.
Perhaps a better phrasing would be: there is no ethically sound reason to pursue this as an end goal.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
I don’t really understand why that would be an objective for anyone.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
What would the purpose of this even be?

I assumed this was photoshopped. Maybe I’m living in the past.
I think with the proper prompt it could be done. Need to specify Anopheles.

Wrong species!

Nah it’s just the only time they can come out without drying out.

They don’t just look like genitals, they are genitals.

Free sharing of information, particularly publicly funded information is not theft. That is all.
- Comment on degree in bamf 1 month ago:
Hilarious. I actually witnessed this online when someone tried to “well actually” another user and it turned out that user was the author of the paper they cited.
- Comment on degree in bamf 1 month ago:
Probably just the totality of human influences on wildfires. This can include a wide range of activities and factors including climate change, forest preservation or cutting, changes in wild or domestic mammal herbivory, accidental ignition events, controlled burns, irrigation or diversion of streams, damming rivers, invasive species introductions, etc.

How do you access Mastodon content in Lemmy?
- Comment on Threads is automatically hiding comments that mention Pixelfed 1 month ago:
I was under the impression that it theoretically could but wasn’t set up in a way that made this possible. But perhaps I was mistaken.
How do I access Mastodon content using my account here then?

What are these examples and how do they relate to what Mets is doing?
- Comment on Threads is automatically hiding comments that mention Pixelfed 1 month ago:
Wait did I miss something big? Does Lemmy now federate with Mastodon somehow? How does that work?
- Comment on Meta just showed off Threads’ fediverse integration for the very first time 1 month ago:
I really don’t understand the fearmongering around this. If that happens, instances just defederate. At worst there is a few hours or days of chaos. Doesn’t seem like that big of a deal.
