Ew, when did we get reddit's cringy appeals to the audience talking past the original poster in an ineffectual attempt to throw shade?

Almost like it's the goal. It's not, they're just hacky idiots, but it's almost like that...

Science headlines urgh.

The development here is that they've figured out a model of the actual interaction thats happening during the transition phase between nREM and REM, which is pretty cool. We've known dreams are an artefact of memory processing for a long time, as well as that REM is basically long-term memory thunderdome. But the actual mechanisms underlaying this, in non-abstracted terms, are still hugely complex and largely not understood. This is a big step forward (if verified) towards the goal of unraveling the full memory encoding process.

How long before the EU stops complaining about the Chinese EV boom just to spite trump? I mean christ that one is at least extremely transparent... god this guy is an idiot.

The question here was whether it was subject to civilian or military aviation ATC - from every report released thus far, it was under civilian authority. Obviously, yes, a fighter jet was originally a military aircraft - but that isn't relevant at the moment, since it's registered to an organization independent of the US military.

Lemmy is pretty great compared to reddit so long as the topics stay away from anything to do with feminism or women's rights. Otherwise it starts to feel like the reddit cesspit is leaking, and it's depressing. Anyone remember the few days when "the bear" discussion took over the fediverse? Those were dark times. Or any time someone even mentions the word "mansplaining", even if it's satirical.

This wasn't a military aircraft, it was a privately owned 70 year old jet.

Oh nooo some asshole put up a bunch of deepfakes of me, I can't believe you found that, here let me email the site to warn them...

"Okay that's wrong, and here's why..."

The nazi presence in the furry movement is really under estimated by people who're outside the subculture. There's, like... there's a lot of them in there, guys. Recruiting from persecuted groups is already standard operating procedure for fascists, and the furry community notoriously has both money, a great deal of practice at forming groups that insulate their members from criticism, and a real serious problem with sexism. Unfortunately, it makes for the ideal environment to grow far-right movements.

In that situation you're still admitting the threats have power over you; by releasing the photos yourself, you both out the person as fucking scum and demonstrate that their threat was completely impotent, delivering a one-two punch to the ego.

Noun: [...]
3. One who knew a specific decedent.
"She was from a large family and had many friends, so the funeral was crowded with mourning survivors"

Did you really just not look this up, at all? Seriously, this is an extremely common usage of the term. Why are you so defensive about this? For that matter, why do you think arguing semantics at all is relevant to the discussion at hand - beyond just making you look like you're arguing in bad faith?
