I get that social media seems to be a constant stream of outrage with nobody actually caring, but I think this story might actually derail her.

There are articles in Fox News, NY Post, and other conservative media outlets about this. They are fairly critical. The fox news one includes tweets from a "country boy" who is like "there's a difference between taking an old animal out back and a fucking puppy".

The Lemmy community is disproportionately made up of either computer nerds or queer people.

Star Trek is basically the most popular nerd IP that hasn't been successfully brought into the mainstream, and is known for being progressive.

How do they have this many employees and an absolutely trash android app?

This post is super refreshing.

There are a lot of "God look at this ugly house listing" communities. Usually when I see posts it's either "gaudy McMansion" or "teardown job listed for $$$ based off property values". I always end up unsubscribing to them because it's just an endless feed of identical posts.

This though? This is uniquely terrible.

Changing the error level in the build config without telling everyone and then making a hyperbolic passive aggressive comic when the senior admonishes you for doing so ?

I'm gonna guess 1 YoE, second job out of college. Enough experience to know what they're doing, but not enough to know when to do it.

Be me (middle aged white woman, not that it matters)

Be homeowner

Be part of HOA

Not really a huge fan but kinda hard to avoid these days

whatever.jpg

HOA pays for lawn care, so there's that

there's supposed to be an area that they won't touch if they see you planted your own stuff

think it would be cool to grow some flowers

Go up to lawncare guy and ask about it

Looks confused, doesn't speak English

I get it, not his fault

Asked four guys now, all don't speak English

Kinda frustrated, but again I get it

see white guy (super pale)

Assume that he's from America because we live in Virginia

Go up to him, tell him I'm happy I found someone who can speak English

Looks at me and takes in what I'm saying. Seems like he can understand me

starts speaking dutch

Whatever.jpg

Go inside

Husband asks me what's wrong

Gladthatheshere.jpg

tell him everything

Tells me to not worry. He'll go outside and won't stop until he finds someone

Comes back about thirty minutes later

"Yeah most of them didn't speak English, but there was one guy who was super helpful. Turns out he's a university student making some cash over the summer "

"He's actually from Holland, isn't that weird?"

mfw.

Honestly if you read the actual email I think there could be significant legal trouble ahead.

Spencer talks about how the main barrier to acquiring Nintendo is that they sit on a mountain of cash. He calls that unfortunate. He then proceeded to state a company with connections to Microsoft had just bought a lot of Nintendo shares, and how they could work with said company to make such an acquisition a reality.

The company in question publicly bought a massive amount of Nintendo shares. They then proceeded to pressure Nintendo to invest more capital instead of sitting on the cash pile they have now. They did this under claims that such a move would be beneficial to Nintendo in terms of ROI. However, it would also result in Nintendo being more vulnerable to an acquisition from Microsoft if any of those bets don't pay off.

In short, it could be argued that Microsoft worked with investors to tank Nintendo so they could buy it. That's a huge deal and will probably result in a shitstorm.

So we have two options:

1. A 52 year old federal judge is somehow tech illiterate in a way that would imply they have absolutely no idea about the fundamentals of modern technology.

2. A federal judge is asking a large number of extremely basic questions to get their answers on official records so that the cases parameters are clearly defined. He is taking extra care because there's not a lot of direct precedent on these issues.

I'm heavily leaning towards number 2 here. The internet likes to pretend everyone over the age of 40 has no idea how a computer works. The year is 2023. A middle-aged person today was fairly young when computers started to be incorporated into all aspects of society and is well versed in computer literacy. In some ways they are actually much more tech literate than the younger generations. It's almost certain that he knows the difference between Firefox and Google.

People are calling this kid stupid. I disagree.

Nobody buying food in America would think that a single serving product would be able to kill you without any sort of prior health conditions. This is a completely fair assumption and one that is important.

Second, the one chip challenge has been in the public eye for a while. There are multiple examples of people eating them successfully in previous years. When things do go badly, it's usually something along the lines of "I threw up everywhere". That's a far cry from dying and along the lines of risks teenagers have taken for decades.

Third, a ton of food items use the skull and crossbones motif. I've seen it on hot sauces that aren't even that spicy. Nobody assumes that the skull and crossbones means risking death. This is, again, because everyone assumes that food is generally safe to eat.

In conclusion, don't sell things in convenience stores that can kill an otherwise healthy person in short order. While this is especially true for children, it's a good rule of thumb in general.

Posts like this confuse me.

On the one hand, DS9 isn't really known by people who don't watch Star Trek. The chance of someone randomly running their mouth about it is infinitely lower than something like TNG or TOS.

On the other hand I can't see how anyone who watched DS9 can call Garek noble. One of the best episodes in the series revolves around him orchestrating a plot to trick the Romulans into entering the war by assassinating a Romulan senator. Not only does he show 0 hesitation, but he correctly points out that Sisco went to him precisely because that's his bread and butter.

Okay so just to be clear.

You are in an extreme heat wave. There is no power. You see your neighbors struggling due to the heat. You have the ability to invite them over cool down. Doing so would cost virtually $0.

You instead post a meme on lemmy making fun of them.

Even if you don't get along with them, doing something like this would be a huge way to mend fences.

So I don't mean to be racist but as an American, it seems like a ton of Indian startup culture centers around BS claims made for hype.

Like so does American startup culture, but India takes it to the next level.

So I wouldn't use this as an industry barometer.
