Some of the most successful people on earth have a thriving business and achieve financial independence before they’re even born.

If the first thing you do is nurse after you pop out, you’re already behind.

Interesting concept. This might actually be usable for me because my display is super wide. Websites generally don’t handle extremely wide displays very well, so as of today it’s wasted space.

I feel like the CIA is much more likely to inject JavaScript to attack your browser because it’s more flexible and provides a complex and attacker-exposed interface to browser features.

On the other hand, they probably have back doors to everything, so what do I know?

Sending this to my neurotic wife. It’s going to bother her now.

It’s both. Some large and slow ships can take half an hour just to go under the bridge. By then you’ve accumulated a significant back up of traffic.

Why wouldn’t they be? Aren’t they the product of institutional corruption?

I disagree. Lemmy is more resistant to bots because there’s no perverse incentive to boost user activity numbers to please investors and advertisers. Reddit for example doesn’t really care if most comments are fake on a post. It’s still interaction and it pumps numbers. Lemmy is built and run by us. It serves no other masters.

Given that users naturally self-sort into instances, your trolls are also more likely to congregate on instances and communities that can be blocked. I don’t want to name any names but I do block some instances from my view for a reason. The Russian bots congregate in places that are amenable to this, and the design of Lemmy encourages this self-sorting into places where you’re accepted.

The problem is still significant, but there are advantages to the fediverse.

The student has surpassed the master.

Interviews are a weird lying contest where neither of you can be truly honest about the business or your career goals.

I have a drawbridge on my way to work. A drawbridge! Barges come in under that bridge.

Different philosophy around here. No such thing as late really because a random one hour delay is just too much to solve by leaving early.

I can’t help but feeling that this won’t end well given the dumb, extremely partisan decisions the court loves to make.

Oh I hate these shitty joints that are designed to fail eventually. It’s just not made to last.

Very cool, but as someone who has difficulty swallowing pills, I doubt I could get that down. Maybe if my life depended on it.

When the anesthesiologist turns out to be out of network on the day of your pre-approved, medically necessary surgery.

Question: if I buy figs commercially, will they contain dead wasps? Or, is this something that only happens naturally?

It’s so strange because publishing on the Internet is close to free, and I swear one of my peer reviewers lacked basic reading comprehension.

Easy and widespread access to guns plus no functioning mental (or otherwise) healthcare system is as lovely a combo as projectile vomiting plus explosive diarrhea.

You’re gonna have a bad time.

There are many things conservatives should think and do.

Lucky you haven’t had to work the labyrinth of getting a prescription approved. In my experience it can take months do get medical care for some conditions.

I was born ready to go full cyborg. I am not impressed with the meat.
