halfway funny, fine to insult fascists but no need to put down subs or sluts while doing so

spujb ,

umm there are absolutely a significant number of fascists out there who have that first reaction to being called a slut

part of “know your enemy” is recognizing that even the worst of the worst are not a monolith. halfway funny.

phones need a setting to disable hdr media globally and preferably per-app

never have i been scrolling my feed with my screen brightness set to minimum and felt “huh! i wish this one specific picture abused the OLED capabilities of my screen to make itself blindingly bright for no reason”

im sure the standard/format is fine in theory but all the mobile implementations i have seen are below useful

spujb ,

its easy simply just

spujb ,

try reaching out to mods or admins, that post shows 0 downvotes from my instance which could mean there is vote manipulation/botting happening on an instance mine is defederated from

that said, 196 may not be the place to air this grievance. better communities for this exist really

spujb ,

nope, blocking users does not hide their downvotes. know this from experience. also confirmed without being signed in. my instance also does not show only local votes either, but pulls them in from all federated instances. so neither of those are realistic possibilities.

edit: link to see exactly how it looks from my end

spujb ,

yeah but none of the users or posts involved are blahaj zone. literally the only blahaj related element to this post is that OP complained here.

spujb ,

can you guarantee the wind won’t knock down branches from regular trees, especially the loosest ones during a storm?

course not. but the cost to cleanup is far exceeded by the benefit.

spujb ,

ugh more of this “both slides” bs rhetoric

spujb ,

the classic double woosh

spujb OP ,

impgflip.com, with full love to the community GIMP is ass at making memes

spujb OP ,

yeah i could use a hex editor if i wanted but turns out the fasted app workflow is often the best

spujb OP ,

bro ur getting so antagonistic and for what 😭

imgflip is purpose-built for the process i am taking. GIMP takes more than 3 seconds to boot up on my device. there is no competition. stop with the toxic behavior and insults. this was a joke. you make the internet miserable.

spujb OP ,

thank you for admitting it 😭 just like chill out im here to hang out and have a good time and i hope you are too 🩵

spujb OP ,

there could but it would take cash

or one could make it truly open source for free

spujb OP ,

this true, ty for the clarification

ill leave the meme as is (in quotes) since that was the thrust of the propaganda i saw 18 months ago

seems like a term that is intentionally thrown around to make things sound secure and cool when it’s not.

spujb ,

i love human beings we are so adorable

spujb OP ,

boycott activism is about inflicting economic loss on the business by abstaining from purchasing goods and services. while boycotts can sometimes entail employee action, it is never expected of you to take action that would result in harm to you or your family. take care of yourself first so that you have the power to fight for others ❤️

spujb OP ,

it’s not on the official BNC list for now, though certainly a valid popular target for the shit it did to its union over a pro-Palestine post. i wouldn’t be surprised if it appears in that bottom right box sometime soon but for now i guess the BNC finds it is not as significant or likely to evoke change of a boycott as the others.

spujb ,

is there an image of jerma as saturn eating his son and if not whom do i have to pay

common misinformation, fact check here

Donations made by customers at checkout are not tax-deductible for the business, as the donation does not come from the company. According to TPC, the business only serves as a collector for charitable donations from its customers and has no right to claim any of the collected funds.

If you got this far in the comment, take a mental note to call this out the next time you see it. I too am very critical of the late stage capitalist hellscape we live in, but rounding up for charity is a rare instance of an unproblematic practice that is damaging to discourage as this post does. Charities do a lot of good and when you donate to them you are the one that gets the opportunity to do a writeoff.

Edit: If you are wondering why they do it then, it’s a psychological marketing technique. If you come to associate the good things that the Ronald McDonald House does with your McBurger, you are more likely to buy more tasty McBurgers. Sketchy? Sure, but it happens to be really effective at supporting charity work so it’s kind of a mutually beneficial arrangement.

spujb ,

i totally get that, and your instincts are noble, which is probably why this misconception is so pervasive. i too was in your position once, but yeah, no harm is done by donating at checkout.

spujb OP ,

based. keep inventory also

spujb ,

this shit (what the landlord did) should be illegal and prosecutable?

imagine renting farmland out to a farmer, waiting for them to plant and grow crops right up till before harvest, then try to pull a switch and up the rent because “🤓☝️the land is worth more now.”

like no shit the plants on the property add value. value that came directly from the tenant in hundreds of hours of labor and materials!!??!!

good on this tenant for getting the W on the situation. im sure for countless poor others the opposite has been true :(

spujb ,

misleading headline, and it’s not even close.

“residents beg mayor”

no they didn’t. the article doesn’t cite one singular instance of a resident asking the mayor to stop the eclipse. what it does cite is an off hand, likely facetious/joke comment by said mayor in relation to a bridge that is under construction.

of course, this fact didn’t stop the author from running with this absolute lie, the media entity from publishing the deception, and most of the comments here are falling for the perversion of truth and are clowning on and smearing an entire township.

pardon me if this comment is overly serious. i get this is a satire-of-satire community but holy smokes we need to have better standards for our media. if they can get away with this white lie, imagine what they do every other day when lives are on the line.

spujb ,

uncomfortable with this being the headline and seems like without further research this could just be one of those confirmation bias things. seems to make some assumptions that we don’t know empirically such as:

  • teachers in the 1980s were a good judge of character, fairly identifying who bullies whom
  • that this aggressive behavior at 10 years old continues meaningfully into later life

not denying the scientific accuracy of the study, but the journalist integrity of making this the headline.

edit: you can read the original article here, and yeah the actual text of the summary vindicates my judgment of the Guardian article. the original authors frame it as an analysis of “socio-emotional skills,” not agression per se, because again, these kids are ten, not even in high school yet.
