I’ll be buying a new car soon. Fuck Mazda.

You know what they’d have called him in Nazi Germany?

Herr Durr.

Fascist.

I had this weird sensation when I watched Metropolis. I found myself thinking “ugh every trope and this is hacky as hell” then I remembered: “oh wait, this is the source of all of those things.” It made it a lot easier to appreciate.

Yes, but are they sliving?

Some people drink Pepsi. Some people drink Coke. The wacky morning DJ says democracy’s a joke.

Aww c’mon now, it was just a little whoopsie-doodle! We all make mistakes! Surely, it’s not fair to hold those who enforce the violence of the state upon the rest of us to the same standard we hold regular people to!

These people are never arguing in good faith.

Treating them like they are is part of their effort to self legitimize, with the side benefit of wearing out people who are acting in good faith.

“slipped past”

More like “walked through the wide open thoroughfare designed to allow them in” via deliberate underfunding of regulators and de-fanging consumer protections.

Imagine if a person did this to a bunch of individuals. What would the punishment be?

That person would likely be in prison for the rest of their lives, at least, they would be removed from society as they have proven that they cannot be trusted to participate in good faith.

How will these companies be punished?

@Col3814444 yes, I absolutely meant her. For whatever reason KBin adds the mentions in replies automatically and I’m not sure if those need to be there for replies to work or not, so I just leave them.

@Col3814444

What a garbage person.

@Jackolantern

Is there somewhere to put this pitchfork? I was all ready to use it, then I immediately calmed down when I read further.

I’ll start the pile I guess.

They’re trying again with Red Hat. Probably the second biggest implosion in the last few weeks.

Code reviews are only bad until you realize you can just say “cool story bro” and move on.

No change is always an acceptable response to review comments imo, unless it’s one of mine.

If you can’t defend that turd of a code unit, why the hell do you think it deserves to go into production?

@haxe11

Lol, they were biased 20 years ago when I debated.

It all depends on the local community judges are recruited from.

I lost rounds multiple times with the only note being “Global warming is a lie”

Nobody wants to judge debate tournaments except former debaters and parents forced into it by their students.

You get what you get when it comes to debate judges.

The author of the article is clearly biased themselves.

• when dicing onions cut radially first, then slice across, it saves you that weird half slice that’s traditionally used for dicing onions.

• I use cast iron for nearly everything, it survives a hundred years because it’s bulletproof not because it’s gingerly handled every time it’s removed from it’s velvet case. People dragged them around on Chuck wagons, you will not kill it with soap. Worst case it gets a little sticky and now you need to cook some bacon in it.

• A splash of acid in your soup or stew at the end really wakes it up.

• Never cook rice without at least a couple bay leaves. Ideally you’ll cook it in chicken stock as well, add flavour where you can.

• The best chicken stock in a jar is Better Than Bullion. Hands down. No contest.

• With a splash of oil you can cook eggs even in a sticky cast iron pan.

• Always use hand protection of some kind with a mandolin. I’ve never seen a non-pro chef go without and not fuck up their hand. Even pros lose the tips of their fingers sometimes too.

• If you want to recreate movie theater popcorn at home you need the following things:
  A whirlypop or other stovetop cooker
  Coconut oil, refined
  Popcorn kernels, quality varies, find a good brand
  Fine salt
  “Popcorn oil” - this is butter flavored oil sold next to the kernels

Here’s what you do, set up a bowl to dump your popcorn in, throw some salt in the whirlypop with a spoon of coconut oil, and just a tiny glug of the popcorn oil, not much just a tad. Add your kernels, crank the heat to high and start cranking. Do. Not. Stop. The popcorn will begin to pop after an interminable wait. Keep cranking until it either gets hard to crank or the popping slows down significantly. Then quickly dump your popcorn into the waiting bowl. Do not add salt, you already did this, the fine salt will be well distributed this way. Add a bit of popcorn oil. Shake the bowl a bit to distribute, add more if desired etc. Then enjoy your movie theater popcorn.

It took me years to work out how to do it without the Naks oil, which I bought from a local popcorn shop for awhile.

@GizmoLion The swishy smooth lines you guys make with the squeegee on the giant plate glass windows were my one of my favorite parts of the day when I worked at gas stations.

I think that one of the most difficult things to deal with more common bots, spamming, reposting, etc.

Is that parsing all the commentary and dealing with it on a service wide level is really hard to do, in terms of computing power and sheer volume of content. Seems to me that do this on an instance level with user numbers in the 10’s of thousands is a heck of a lot more reasonable than doing it on a 10’s of millions of users service.

What I’m getting at is that this really seems like something that could (maybe even should) be built into the instance moderation tools, at least some method of marking user activity as suspicious for further investigation by human admins/mods.

We’re really operating on the assumption that people spinning up instances are acting in good faith, until they prove that they aren’t, I think the first step is giving good faith actors the tools to moderate effectively, then worrying about bad faith admins.

@JCreazy Likely the same individuals that would prefer there be fewer voters in general.
