Sorry yeah I’m missing a whole ass sentence there haha… As bork picked up, once off the court, take the empty box and replace with the full box.

“Wink wink, nudge nudge, know what I mean, know what I mean?”

I mean I would get it if they had an empty box out on the court for the show, and then having to take away the empty show box… But they gave the kid a jersey instead? Wtf?

Well they’re no friends of mine

I’ve noticed this and really thought it was the website. All sides lose.

Enshittification at its finest.

Different scales. Money is a simple -infiniti to +infiniti. Problems is a parabola that starts starts at +infiniti, approaches zero (without ever getting to zero) before returning to +infiniti when graphed against Money.

The people that coined this phrase clearly lived on the cusp of that return upward on this graph so their observation is limited to that subset.

It’s the “is it a space or is it an underscore” that gets ya.

o rly?

Thousand times this. For actual builders that care about the nuance it all probably makes sense but then there is me over here looking at pre-builts wondering why the fuck are two seemingly identical machines have a $500 difference between them.

I’m spending so much time pouring through spec sheets to find “oh the non-z version discombobulator means this cheaper one is gonna be trash in three years when I can afford to upgrade to a 6megadong tri-actor unit”.

I’m in this weird state of to cheap to buy a Mac and can’t be arsed to build my own.

First let me say: I’m glad you’re making this observation. The shitastic propaganda machines need to be called out.

Now second, I have a point to make but I should give some context first. I already blocked that community and many others about politics and war and crap because I’m just tired of all of it. That said, before I did, it didn’t seem like endless war was all (or even mostly) anti-ukraine in nature. It did seem anti-US but I wasn’t about to go looking into that statistically - just an observation regarding the titles of posts that did percolate up my feed from time to time.

Now, I’m not an admin here, but if I were (based on experiences in past adminning forums, chatrooms and reddit subs) I would ask for citations and proof of the problem. It’s all well and good to just say “go look for yourself” but people have jobs and other interests. I regularly would ignore these things, but if someone went to the effort to present proof? Then you had my interest. Like, don’t reply to me with it, edit it back in your original post - like I say, I’ve blocked it and I’ve moved on.

I would be looking to know if there are multiple accounts posting shit or is it one or two “power users” posting the majority of it. Were the mods of the sub alerted to it? (Obvious moot point if it’s the mods posting…) Showing the response from the mods will really sell what tone they’re aiming for in the sub. Hell - if they have it written in their community header info that they are their to pander to putin, that’s evidence too. “Seems to be”, as you wrote, is highly conjectural.

Anyway, that was my two cents (and, yes, with the state of the dollar and the fact we have no pennies anymore that means it’s worth fuck all.) I wish you good luck in your mission to expose the assholes of the world - we do need to stay vigilant.

And also because I might not have been clear: fuuuuuuuuuck russia.

For a good number of years I was always trying to write this in my backyard or fields.

Not one damn pilot ever did a barrel roll for me.

I should try again this winter.

Once I get the family loaded up and on the road. Wife rolls her eyes every time. 😁

You are overthinking this.

Didn’t read but don’t care. Still, it’s also important to know sources.

Good propaganda machines tell the truth most of the time.

Always keep your guard up.

Well played! It took me a bit to both find this gif and learn how to post animated gifs to Lemmy. 🤣

Haha it wasn’t sturdy when it was new, what a design. I guess it’d be okay for small children (reaching sink to brush teeth, that sort of thing.). I’d still reinforce because that one time an adult steps on it’s gonna bear trap their legs.

That said, this would be super neat as like a planter holder or something - pure decoration. A fresh coat of something to make the character lines pop. I’m amateur as it gets and would probably varathane it lol so don’t ask me how.

It turns out eye patches and goatees are signs of good people.

I posted in another thread already, but I found it amusing seeing the same news in both. 🤣
