I got a cat at 18 for the same reason I don’t want kids lmao. I like kids. I also like dogs. But I like leaving the house for more than 8 hours more and for that you need a cat.
Yup. They just got their satire lessons from the same place as Babylon Bee.
Its worth noting that they had completed “15 to 20 contracts previously” and that they had negotiated previous contracts via text message. This process became the norm during the pandemic.
In other words it’s within this context that made it agreement… not that thumbs ups can universally be used to agree to contracts.
Glad to see the reddit tradition of just commenting without reading any of the source material is going strong /s
But for real my dude. You got a problem with chemicals in your meat? How bout those crazy steroids and antibiotics they pump your chickens/cows full of so that they don’t die of disease before maturation/slaughter? What about all the chemicals in the low quality feed they give the animals? Or the processing to increase shelf life?
The beauty of this technology is that it avoids all those problems as well as their chemical solutions. It uses mitosis, aka the same naturally occurring process all cells use, to grow meat in an isolated environment that disease cannot thrive. Meanwhile we can use genetic modification to improve the quality of the protein. The end result will be healthier, more sustainable and have a significantly longer shelf life.
And this technology is only going to improve.

Turning off the internet/social-media will only throw gas on the fire grease on the guillotine me thinks.
Dunno lol
But one way or another the fedverse is going to be funded by its users/instance-admins.
I think the awards got out of hand on reddit… but having 1-5 on lemmy would be a fun way to incentivize donations.
Plus I do think the sort by gilded was useful in combination with viewing just the comments of a sub/com.
modern society
You mean theocrats, aka christo-fascists and neo-christo-fascists.
Almost every single problem with society today is because of outdated social constructs and the religious tenants that enforced them overstaying their welcome while humanity continues to evolve.
The technicalities are above my head but I don’t see how/why.
Couldn’t other instances somehow prevent those awards from displaying on theirs?
Doesn’t make sense to do by someone paying to host an instance.
Wouldn’t everyone have to create users on that specific instance to do it?
That being said, sorting by awards was kinda useful. Except do away with reddits ridiculously specific ones. Keep it to stuff like Gold, Helpful, Hilarious.
Yup. This is clearly exampled in the generally negative attitude towards reddit awards aka their only real revenue stream afaik.
“If you run a company based on the goodwill of millions of volunteer users, contributors, and moderators, one of your top priorities should probably be to focus on making them happy.”
^Mother fucker^… *Digs out wallet
The admins/mods/community have been pretty united in rejecting toxicity. Any maga/racist posters are usually downvoted to hell such that the only positively ranked posts in their communities are antithetical to maga/trump/racism.
I suspect (/hope lol) a lot of them will just use the reddit official app.
Awards on lemmy would be a great way to subsidize server costs.
Holy fuck this is an old picture lol
I used to do security at some shelters and the local Ministry for Social Development offices (Welfare office). Through those experiences I learned that there is a big, big difference between calling someone homeless/addict or saying “experiencing homelessness/addiction”
The title says it the correct way, the opening paragraph does not. That being said, “unhoused” doesn’t colloquially imply homeless and could be misconstrued as people being evicted. Regardless, after reading the article I don’t think the author intended to degrade people with their wording.
Anecdotally, I think we do a disservice to the people directly suffering from homelessness/addiction/mental health by misdirecting our frustrations towards the journalists increasing awareness of the problem.
Similarly, I think we do disservice to a lot of victimized and marginalized people by continually ‘improving’ the language surrounding specific issues and subsequently attacking people -who are engaging the topic in good faith- for not adopting the prescribed nomenclature fast enough.
Yo so I like/agree with your post but NGL the title is off putting. I ran your post through GPT and it spit this out.
“Unveiling the Power of Federated Universes: Rethinking Digital Autonomy”
Honestly that would explain the similarities between religious superstitions and the things people have admitted to believing as a child on ask Reddit.
