Yeah, it's pretty hard to wrap your head around, especially hearing she was neck-deep by the time he got to her. I'm guessing she didn't feel physically capable of making it onto the roof and worried if she climbed out of the car's interior she'd get swept away faster.

Yeah, this system makes no sense. How are they supposed to fact check each other?

"That's a lie." "Not uh."

I'm just confused how anyone thought this was a good idea to begin with. Surely the strong public backlash could have been easily anticipated.

“When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I’m basically the same. The temperament is not that different.” -Donald Trump https://www.cnn.com/2016/03/04/opinions/president-trump-six-year-old-with-nuclear-weapons-dantonio/index.html

Yup, exactly. That's the question that actually matters. Tons of Republicans were very vocally against Trump in 2016 too, but fell in line as soon as he was named their official candidate. The Republican Party is great at unifying around candidates and messaging when it counts (probably one of their only legitimate strengths.)

Why does she look exactly like McLovin in a wig in this picture?

Haha. At my partner's job, IT had to send out an email clarifying some message from a VP wasn't phishing because so many people reported it for being suspicious lol.

It is mind boggling to me that in the year 2023 we're complaining about porn, LGBT existence, and fucking book content. Isn't this what we were laughing at 20 years ago?

It's easy to forget because of how quickly the cultural zeitgeist shifted when it finally did, but the early 2000s was still very homophobic. Watching pretty much any comedy from that era reminds you of just how common the punchline to jokes was just, "teehee they're gay."

I've never tried this, but advice I've seen online is if your doctor won't order testing, ask them to note in your chart that they are declining testing. Apparently the implicit threat of a lawsuit if they're wrong is enough to kick at least some of them into CYA mode.

I imagine they care in the interest of building Lemmy up and wanting to see it grow.

Damn dude, if you're so FUCKING ANNOYED by reddit talk maybe block the community literally called "reddit" and move on?

At work I've been thrust into a support function for some random system (I'm in analytics) and one of the roles I work with is fairly entry level, so lots of younger folk. I have been floored by some of the basic-ass shit I've walked them through. (Like explaining that you can copy and paste the url into a browser if the link isn't clickable for whatever reason. Also had to clarify what url meant--is this not a common term anymore?) I had just assumed that because they're younger and grew up with the internet, they'd smoke the hell out of me. But I guess interfaces are so streamlined these days many got away with never having to learn basic troubleshooting the same way I did as a millennial.

Anger somehow don't count as an emotion in the patriarchy.
