The simple fact that untreated rabies is almost 100% fatal means that the vaccine is worth it. Not many diseases are almost 100% fatal, and at least this one's preventable if caught.

I've always been of the opinion that a person's go-to insult shows more about themselves than anything else. Like how the people who shout the loudest about gays tend to be closet homosexuals, etc. Same with pedophiles. And Elon is very quick to call someone a pedophile. His whole family is weird and messed up — his father groomed his stepdaughter (Elon's stepsister) that he raised since she was 4 years old, and they have several kids together — so it wouldn't surprise me if Elon is himself a pedophile.

It does if you want to migrate your favorites and subscriptions.

~~Not always. More and more phones in the budget range utilize a "virtual" proximity sensor which actually uses the camera for the same function.~~

You're thinking of the gyroscope, but no. Some phones have a dedicated proximity sensor for things like detecting if you're in a call and have the phone up to your ear, but more and more phones (especially the budget ones) these days use a "virtual" proximity sensor which utilizes the front camera to perform the same function.

Some major spoilers below! Since there's no markup for spoiler text yet, here's a gap to indicate spoilers. If you haven't seen the movie yet, skip this comment.

Loved the movie, but found that the ending was the weakest part. I don't mind the resolution we got, it's just how we got that resolution that has some parts missing. How did the people suddenly go from fearing her to calling her a hero? Sure, she saved the city from getting blown up, but one act alone doesn't easily undo a thousand years of prejudice. After all, it doesn't seem like anyone knows the truth about what happened between Nimona and Gloreth. How did they clear Nimona's name of the Director's accusation? Who runs the kingdom now? Why didn't that dudebro knight get his face punched in? The ending was fine, but they glossed over a lot of parts that would have made the ending make more sense.

Edit: Well, looks like the Lemmy spoiler code doesn't work on Kbin.

I'm pretty sure 1990 was ten years ago.

Maybe the moron didn't realise downvotes were public?

No. It's decentralized like the Fediverse, but it doesn't use ActivityPub. I think there are some 3rd party developers working on an ActivityPub-Bluesky bridge, but nothing concrete yet.

Considering that this is the most hated person on Reddit other than spez himself, no tears were shed.

Of course they're claiming responsibility for the John Oliver thing. Considering their history, I doubt it. But even if they were involved, it's the community at large that was responsible for the John Oliverification of Reddit.

 

Following in the footsteps of r/pics and r/gifs, r/aww is also holding a poll to decide whether to go back to "normal" or to only feature images of John Oliver, Chiijohn, or their lookalikes being adorable.

Poll is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/aww/comments/14bt0c1
