If you have a 1% error rate in tweets, even if you proofread that’s still a .01% chance to make a mistake. With the volume of tweets it shouldn’t surprise you that some people make mistakes even if they proofread.

I remember learning about it in school around Thanksgiving because it’s often associated with the holiday. (I’m in the US.)

Neofuturism.

I’m not super into sports so I don’t know what the best specific rule to deal with this would be, but there needs to be more accountability for bad calls from referees.

I’m not going to spend hours downloading all of those and comparing and contrasting how easy I find their UIs. Some people have different hobbies. Imagine that, holy shit!

Be the meme you wanna see

YOU USED UP ALL THE GLUE ON PURPOSE!

NOT A FINGA!

I was raised Christian and am now atheist. I would have a very difficult time being romantic with anyone who calls themself Christian. I have come to despise all levels of it. I don’t believe in the existence of the super natural. I don’t believe in the Christian creation myth. I don’t believe in the resurrection or any miracles of Jesus. I believe most churches are cults that we give a free pass to be cults because it’s more socially acceptable. I believe religion did great harm to me growing up and I believe it does great harm to many other young people. I could go on, but that’s the gist. If someone was somehow Christian and agreed with me on all of those points there might be a chance but I’d still view it as strange that they didn’t see the whole thing as a scam and renounce their faith.

People from other religions I may have similar problems with because even though religions are different their effects are often similar. Even a staunchly pro LGBT church/religion I would have difficulty meshing with because my problems go so much deeper than that.

An exception would be people who are “spiritual” but not “religious”. While I myself am quite skeptical, I am still open to the idea that there’s more. And even if there’s not, sometimes it’s fun and/or beneficial to pretend that there is. So long as they themselves are similarly open to the ideas that they could be wrong and that others could be right I think I could get along quite well with people like this. The truth is I still have moments I would call religious experiences, but I don’t believe they’re revelations of truth. They’re still interesting and fun to talk about. Like dreams.

Frankly I’m surprised it’s so little. I thought it wouldn’t be possible with Earth’s landmass period with trees alone.

No.

Training an AI model on AI output? Isn’t that like the one big no-no?

Buddy, if I open Photoshop it’s gonna take me hours to learn how to do one thing too, what a horrible example lmao. There’s like so many easy slam dunks you could’ve said too.

most of us are here, because we got permabanned on reddit early this year, or shadowbanned recently.

Doubt. A lot of us are here because of the API changes in July of 2023.

I use Lemmy 99.999% of the time. I asked a plumbing question on Reddit, some radio questions a few months back, and that’s really all I can remember. I don’t browse it. I don’t avoid it if search results go there though. But I don’t seek it out often at all.

Didn’t they have animations associated with the or am I crazy?

I fly the original pride progress flag on my house and I really like it. If it is shocking to you that not everyone agrees with what makes a flag look good look no further than the US’s state flags. They’re a mess. They’re all over the place. People have different tastes. I think the “state seal on blue background” is bad but clearly enough people in those places don’t dislike it enough to change it.

Nuclear bombs are not like conventional bombs. It is very difficult to make them explode. They aren’t volatile. The way the ones dropped on Japan detonated was something like two halves of a core hit each other super super hard and were propelled by a bunch of shot gun shells. Compare that to things like black powder where it’s just fire.

I don’t think fires or bombs on nuclear sites are good, nor do I necessarily believe there were nuclear weapons, but I don’t think they’d detonate like what you’re thinking. Like how a fire at a fireworks factory causes a horrible chain reaction where everything blows up. Nothing like that.

Don’t think for a second that I’m approving of Andrew Tate types lol. I’m just saying if there wasn’t incentive then they wouldn’t be able to profit off of it. Maybe we’re using different definitions of incentive. Or maybe you mean to actually make a true working long term fix for men as opposed to just content that monetizes off of it.

It’s also funny when people argue it’s not actually white because color picker says it’s light blue. Firstly, color motherfucking temperature.

It’s because it seems like about half of people’s eyes and brains correct it one way and the other half the other way, leading to extremely heated discussions about “how can you not see it my way.” This isn’t like other optical illusions like that silhouette of a spinning ballerina where you can easily flip it around in your mind. I’ve only ever seen this as white and gold once and it took someone putting it upside down and very slowly zooming out from a very specific area of the dress.

So that’s why people were so torn about it.

What annoys me about takes like this is that it seems to be appealing to some sort of council of gays who are in charge of the flags. Nobody is. There’s no “official” flag. If you don’t like the progress flag or the intersex version of it then just don’t fly them or design your own that you do like. Nobody is stopping you. A ton of the pride flags in use today are just designed by random Tumblr users in the mid '10s. Which is fine, not hating on them, just making sure you know there is nothing stopping you from making one you like or flying the ones you prefer.
