WideEyedStupid

I responded to a post that took a bunch of price tags and calculated an average price of $4,10 for a dozen eggs. I pointed out that we can’t even see how many eggs are in each of those boxes behind the price tags, so the conclusion that a dozen eggs cost on average $4,10 is bullshit (and I used Vance himself holding a box of 3 dozen eggs as proof, because it shows that obviously not all those boxes hold only a dozen eggs). Simple math would show that when you put any of those price tags on a box of 3 dozen eggs, the average price of a dozen eggs goes down significantly.

And you can hold off on the weird insults. I don’t even really care. Not American, I have no horse in this race. Just wanted to point out that the average price conclusion was wrong.

I just want to point out that the box he is holding… well it’s not a dozen eggs. That’s more like… 30 eggs? or something. 5 rows times 6 rows, if my eyes aren’t deceiving me. No idea how many eggs are in all those boxes behind the price tags, of course, but still. Saying a dozen when you’re holding two-dozen or more is also a lie. :p

Edit: or is it 6 x 6 rows? That’s 3 dozen eggs he’s holding. Edit2: not sure why the downvote. I’m not making it up, you can see him holding the box.

Jesus, what a nightmare story. That entire article is filled with horror. She must have felt so terrified and alone.

“After Caswell delivered her baby alone and lost consciousness, staff still refused to render aid and instead took photos of her baby without her consent, her lawyers allege. When she returned to the jail from the hospital, staff denied her access to her prescribed breast pump and ibuprofen.”

Wtf is wrong with people? It’s so fucking petty and mean. I’m gonna assume that none of the staff will actually face any consequences…?

Oh definitely, it was really such a depressing eye-opener, to see so many people around just not give a fuck about anyone else.

Damn.

I can’t remember ever experiencing something like this…? Is it possible to forget about it, like a dream? Barely ever remember dreams. Or maybe some people don’t experience these hallcinations?

Yeah, it’s years. I always keep my phone as long as possible, but I was forced to replace my previous phone because my bank app was going to stop functioning on Android version X and lower. My current phone is now 4 years old and I hope I won’t have to replace it any time soon. I hate setting up new devices. :p

How would this even work? How are they going to stop brigading, bots, low effort spam crap for upvotes, massive reposting, etc? How will this actually increase quality of content?

Also: this would mean giving reddit your actual information, right? How else are they going to pay you? Or are they going to try using crypto and nfts?

It sounds like a terrible idea to me, tbh. Maybe they should start with paid moderators to deal with all the extra spam, crossposting, brigading and bots that will result from this move.

You can think the mother and daughter should face consequences AND at the same time think it’s beyond disgusting that facebook even has this info to begin with AND that they handed it over so easily.

The problem isn’t that “facebook followed the law” – it’s that they knowingly created a situation where they could follow the law to begin with. If they would stop collecting so much data and just encrypt their chats, there would already be less of an issue.

I think people have the tendency to think like “well I have nothing to hide, so who cares?” or “well in this case I agree with what happened, so it’s fine.” But laws get changed all the time, government changes all the time. And when a dictator at some point changes some laws, suddenly facebook is ‘following the law’ by giving law enforcement information on who is atheist, or gay, or what books you like, what your political opinions are, etc. They’d still be “following the law” – but just because something is law doesn’t make it right and imo it’s terrifying that companies who have so much money and power (and with it you would hope: responsibility) don’t seem to have any scrupules regarding working with government/LE.

r/interestingasfuck still doesn’t have moderators. It’s been closed for 18 days now.

I check the sub every few days to see if they have mods yet, we’ll see what hapens. :p

I guess it’s possible, but what good would that do reddit? That’s millions people who aren’t going to be browsing that subreddit anymore, and presumably at least some of them aren’t using any ad blockers, so they’d be losing revenue…

r/interestingasfuck has been without mods for 2 weeks now. It’s just so idiotic. They remove all the mods and then… don’t replace them? Now there hasn’t been a post in 2 weeks on a sub with 11+mil members.

I wonder if they just forgot about that particular sub?

Holy shit. Well, that’s not dystopian at all.

Yup, fair enough, I’ll edit it!

The most annoying thing is that the “Trending Communities” section is filled with spam right now.

I think this does show an inherent current flaw with Lemmy. We need a way to report users through their profile. So far we can only report users when they comment, but this guy isn’t commenting anywhere so there’s no report button. Unless I’m missing something. :p

Ha, a familiar face, so to speak. :)

Your posts have always been such a valuable resource. Glad to see you here!

Well, I mean let’s be realistic. This is never going to kill reddit (though it might lower the content quality quite a bit). Don’t underestimate how many people just don’t care, who just want to scroll and read in their favorite subs. The people already using the official app. Those people aren’t going anywhere.

But I’m sort of very okay with that, to be honest. We don’t need ALL reddit users to come here. I’ve noticed I like the quiet here. Comments won’t get snowed over within 3 minute, people seem to be more polite and decent, commenting on posts older than a day is still ‘viable.’ These are all positives in my book.

Using Jerboa right now, but to be frank: I haven’t tried any other apps, because I am actually waiting for Slide, so whenever that launches I’ll switch.

I can’t wait for Slide for Lemmy. Always loved that app!

But it’s awesome to see so many developers already working on stuff for Lemmy. It’s simply bonkers to me that reddit looked at all these people who created so much for them and basically told them to go fuck themselves.
