Yeah, this artist draws for the New Yorker. Not sure if this is one that made it into an issue or not though.
I vaguely remember this video circulating, but I don't remember the context. I believe it was a train and that's the emergency response to seeing something on the tracks that you're going to hit: press the emergency stop button and run toward the back of the train.
Even before the insane number of bots that are on reddit today, I believe that subreddit was one of the main ways for astroturf accounts to gain karma quickly. They knew that everyone was just there to look at happy things and would upvote heavily.
I wonder if you'd have to wash it? I guess it's no different than however people with wigs take care of them.
Same here. Had to look up the story. Ugh...
You'd think I'd be numb to it by now, but my heart breaks every time.
I wonder if DMs start as the first and slowly transition into the second one.
Since most people are talking about the sign-up barriers, I'll mention culture and reputation.
I love Lemmy and Mastodon, but whenever I've seen the fediverse brought up elsewhere, someone inevitably shuts down any curiosity by suggesting that it's a political echo-chamber. I don't think that's accurate for all of it, but if that reputation is out there, we probably need to make an effort to show that there's a broader appeal. If the average person is expecting the fediverse to be the left-wing equivalent of something like "Truth Social", I could understand the reluctance to adopt it.
There's a bishop 500m away with a sniper too.
Oh no, someone please hit the emergency recursion button before this meme breaks something!
I'm choosing not to open the spoiler tag because of this comment. Thanks for taking one for the team.
Alright, crossposting!
