For serious comments, my true audience is the unknown reader. For jokes, my audience is myself alone.

Lemmy dev suggestions: Remove all downvotes. User blocks should keep the blockee from seeing the blocker.

  • That's how he used 8 tiles! He stole all of their tiles and is hiding them in his parka. He must be a hugely talented thief to take their tiles without them noticing.

  • I mean, that word is eight letters, and you only have seven tiles in your hand.

    We don't have the entire context. The game could have been ridiculous. Like, the lady could have started with "A", then the guy made it "AN", and then the third guy made the eight letter word. But I think the author intended to imply that he went first and plonked down that entire word.

  • Me too old AF and don't miss walkman or discman or digital cameras or iPod or VHS or any of that old technology.

    I understand more as you move away from technology. Like I can get why others feel an attachment to vinyl record players or film photography. Anybody can understand that stuff, while a smart phone seems more like magic.

  • I think you can also have a bottomless pit by simply having a large hole that goes all the way through a planet, directly through its center. But then you'd just go back and forth until wind resistance stops you.

  • I think the question is not 100% accurate. It's just about as accurate as the previous list of questions was.

    And IIRC, the explanation was that a narcissist would sort of be proud of their narcissism.

    It was quite interesting (TM) because she asked them the question before giving the explanation, and the ones who answered said, "Yes." And then they tried to explain how most comedians had narcissistic motivations to get in front of a crowd of people, etc.

    It almost seemed like a demonstration of the point Sandi was about to make.

  • You would end up coming to a stop and falling in the other direction.

  • I just recently watched a QI clip where they said they used to have a long list of questions to determine if someone was a narcissist, but they realized that they got the same accuracy from a single question, "Are you a narcissist?"

  • Fingernail scratches all over his back? That's pretty spicy for a Far Side comic!

  • Ahh. I was going to say that sometimes, urban areas can be safer than rural areas. And then I realized that you probably have a typo. You said "so you would rather live" but I think you meant "so if you would rather live".

  • You mean the time one of his victims escaped and the cops returned the victim to Dahmer, who later murdered him?

  • Hopefully, whoever the next president is will remove the ballroom.

  • I think it's literally not possible to fall that long in one direction in an atmosphere. You could do it in space, though.

  • You can get a bad version of almost any food. It doesn't mean anything. It's really common to get a tasteless orange, but that doesn't stop me from buying or liking oranges.

  • fancy cabinet

    Maybe this is the old man in me talking, but every time I've had any sort of lighting in my PC or RGB in my mouse, for example, it's just been distracting. Nobody but me ever even looks at my PC, and now, every time I see a fancy cabinet, it just looks like an eyesore to me.

  • For Bushart, the arrest has shaken up his life. As the primary breadwinner, he’s worried about how he will support himself and his wife after losing his job while in jail. The arrest was particularly “humiliating,” his complaint said, “given his former role as a law enforcement officer.” And despite his release, fear of arrest has chilled his speech, impacting how he expresses his views online.

    His bail was set at $2 million. I think it would be difficult to say that justice has been done unless the cops, DAs, and judges involved all lose their jobs.

    The cops were malicious, yes, but the prosecutors and judges are supposed to have discretion. $2 million for reposting something the President of the United States posted is obviously going too far.

    Those guys all need to lose their jobs and Bushart should get a huge payout, much bigger than his $2 million bail. That's the minimum criteria for justice in my opinion.

  • Let's see if the rats want to play global thermonuclear war.

  • Strangely, it's just as you said, I recognized Goebbels but not Miller, but if you would have asked me before which I would recognize more easily, I'd have said Miller.

    It's probably just that Miller is almost always lit directly from the front.

  • He obviously chose names so that they would work in that song. A name like Slartibartfast is immediately ruled out.

  • I don't wish to make too many tangential top-level comments, so I am declaring this the tangential thread, but all I can think of is that America is on a path where someday we'll also have journalists who will literally have to choose between the truth and their own safety. We already have so many who choose lies over the truth when their safety is not questioned.
