This is what it's like when someone on tv says something vaguely reminiscent to "Hey Siri" and my HomePod goes "Uh huh?"

I interpreted that as the guy didn't know what the reason was yet.

I initially thought the HOA was implying physical threats towards their residents with the images, but on second viewing it looks like the HOA board originally received those images in their inbox. (If you pause and zoom in you'll see those images came from anonymous senders to the HOA.) Maybe the HOA is claiming one of the residents threatened the HOA board with those images?

Conservatives will think the same about any public figure who's any degree to the left. It's just a human cognitive bias at play that we're all susceptible to. If you think someone is a shitty person, that's going to cause you to overemphasize whatever physical features you find negative about them. The danger of this is that you might in turn start using those negative features as an unreliable heuristic to judge the character of other people before you even get to really know them.

The different fashion/makeup trends among people across the political spectrum can also come into play similarly.

There are conventionally unattractive public figures on the left too, but if you know beforehand that they're on your "team", you probably won't even take particular notice to these "defects". In some mirror universe where MTG was as far left as AOC, you'd probably wouldn't think she looked "evil".

I could actually use one of these.

Generally you post onto the public "federated" timeline. With Mastodon this timeline contains posts from many different Mastodon servers that are all federated with each other, but it appears as one single timeline.

Hashtags are really central to the Mastodon experience. There is no algorithm that automatically suggests posts and accounts like on mainstream centralized services. Instead you gotta purposely use hashtags to discover posts and people. Add descriptive hashtags to your posts, the more the better. This helps people searching for specific topics find your posts.

You can follow people and they can follow you. Posts from people you follow will appear on your home feed. You can also follow hashtags and posts containing those hashtags will appear in your home feed. At the moment there's no official support for communities like with Lemmy; following hashtags on topics you like is the closest you can get to that functionality. (You can also make separate lists of hashtags outside of your home feed).

The people and interests on Mastodon has a lot of overlap with Lemmy.

I suspect this was rushed to distract everyone from last year's AI blunder.

Creaks. It's a puzzle platformer sort of in the style of Limbo and Inside. Beautiful hand drawn graphics. Really challenging puzzles. And the music feels like it organically evolves as you progress through the game.

Do you happen to have a source for this claim? I did some cursory searches on this just now and found nothing except for one reddit thread where one person said the same thing but again with no source.

In the 00s I used to download pirated movies and tv shows off of these asian YouTube clones. There were english boards with links to videos on these sites so finding specific movies or shows was easy. They were often split in 10 minute parts. 240p at best. Audio was often out of sync. I'd then load them onto my click wheel iPod ("iPod classic") and watch them in bed. It's how I watched a lot of movies my parents wouldn't let me see, like Alien. It's also how I watched nearly all of MST3K.

Increasing diagnoses of depression, not depression itself.

I think some of it was used in Curb Your Enthusiasm.

I feel like every year Anker is recalling one of their power banks. Couple of years ago I had to return one of mine, but I have two other Anker models. Does Anker do more recalls than other brands?
