It’s useful to note that there exists Lemmy servers where down votes are not processed. So the high up vote to down vote ratio isn’t necessarily a reflection of people not down voting, it’s potentially a reflection of the servers that allow down votes along with all other servers (generally they all allow up votes).
As my sister who is a MT always said: “A massage therapist gives you a massage, a masseuse gives you a happy ending.”
I can’t believe I know this, but RubMaps used to (might still be?) a thing. If you looked at the outside of them on Google Maps you could very quickly start to pick up on the patterns among the listed locations.
It’s wild because in a lot of cases the FDA does have jurisdiction over the apps, they just choose not to check them.
As someone who almost exclusively eats those shitty muffins: come on, at least they’re packaged on their own usually!
We’ve finally made it! People look at a picture of Lemmy thinking it’s a more popular platform.
They might have changed the OP to fix it in the past hour, but for me the “screenshot” is coming from the social image for the link on the post itself. Clicking through the link gets to the actual article.
You know, I was just thinking how stupid the name sounded until you pointed this out. I still think it’s stupid, but now it at least makes sense how we got here.
If it makes you feel any better, Costco and Walmart also don’t work for a lot of Americans in the US who don’t like that inefficient way of shopping. You’re not alone.
Two separate signs. Well, one’s a flag. The second one is a sign saying everyone except buses must turn left (buses can go straight if they want).
MA has done the same shit, and they lean ever further to the left. I’m not entirely convinced it’s a turnout thing, maybe more of a “balancing things out” kind of deal.
I keep hearing people only on Lemmy bring up Gitea but I haven’t really heard of it otherwise. What’s the appeal and what’s keeping it locked away with the Lemmy community?
Are they moving issues or just code storage to GitHub?
People absolutely think something about it when it happens, and hell sometimes the government even does something about it (as demonstrated in the article you linked). Just a whole lot of us would argue they don’t do enough about it.
I lived in Boston for a while (with a car, but putting low miles on it)
Curious, did buying groceries more end up costing more?
When I switched from buying in bulk periodically to buying small more often, I can say that my first few weeks definitely cost more. I had a mindset about buying for X weeks out instead of X days out that took a bit to shake. In the process I realized how much food waste I was having by purchasing in bulk and not fully using everything, and I naturally switched to purchasing less at the grocery store. Both because it meant carrying less home but also because it was cheaper. Now I buy more or less exactly what I need and I can say on average my grocery spending is less now (avg monthly) than it was when I was buying in bulk.
Oh but didn’t you know that’s just a slippery slope argument and he’s really just a cool dude and who doesn’t encourage hate or violence? /s
A whole lotta people in this thread who don’t want to acknowledge that this dude is trash, no matter how good or bad their music is.
I wish this was as straight forward as this tries to make it. In the US there has been a shift to re-designate colleges as universities based on the number of graduate and non-graduate programs, requiring at least one of each as far as I can tell. The side effect is that a lot of state colleges are now state universities with individual “colleges” within them for the specific program groups.
Which is to say that some state colleges were correctly rebranded as universities, but you can go to a state college and have it be a university.
(And yes, even further exceptions exist and I look forward to being enlightened about the various universities in the middle of nowhere serving 15 people.)
I made it pretty clear he’s a terrible person, just for many, many other reasons that are far easier to argue.
Defending a pedophile doesn’t make one a pedophile. That’s the stretch I’m arguing against.
I can’t believe I’m defending Stallman here. He’s got so many other reasons to be hated.
Samsung S22 Ultra, pretty sure it’s not allowed on the latest Android by the Google Play Store because it was compiled as 32 bit and not 64 bit. You can probably side load it just fine.
