It’s a Jesus thing you wouldn’t understand.

I used to have a variety of Christian shirts with “cool” phrases on them

I remember seeing some of this stuff when it came out and thinking “why are they doing this?” A bunch of it I never heard of, and a handful I wish had seen success (Firefox OS). Not sure how this counts as a hit piece, it didn’t seem mean spirited and definitely didn’t seem to be misrepresenting anything.

The “her back” thing I think is a typo. Unless I misheard I think the embedded video also includes a reporter recapping and saying “he’s got her on her back” too, so maybe the write up is carrying over that reporter misspeaking.

Late one evening a boy and his father were accosted by a mugger. The traumatic moment unlocked some kind of latent power within the boy. Frantically he tried to intervene, skin touched skin, and the assailant’s blood turned to wine, fatal. But not before the cretin dealt a terminal blow to the father. And that night that boy became the hero we all know, Jesus Christ.

Idiots

If you run your own server (like a country would in this case) you’re the one deciding whether things are allowed to be posted. Of course that doesn’t stop other people from blocking you. But the whole idea is as a sovereign country a private corporation shouldn’t have a say over which posts are seen.

I’ve seen a few people shit talk discord without expanding, so I will: it’s a proprietary “public space” that’s not web searchable. I don’t mind something like a community/subreddit oriented around a physical place, but I try to avoid supporting spaces that are owned by private capital. Of course that’s nearly impossible, but there are degrees of enclosure.

I’m with you. Yes, people acclimate to all kinds of things, but sentient aliens are going to take more than a few days.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there were something about different types of wigs that make them hotter than just having natural hair. That said, I’m not sure we have people with subject matter experience in the thread here.

Like this thread over at the wigs subreddit is already talking about terms I’m not familiar with, so that seems like a promising place to start.

I’m on lemmy because I disagree with the ownership direction at Reddit but they have an enviable user base in terms of size and diversity.

From what I understand, the first assassination it wasn’t clear the shooter particularly hated Trump. Sounded more like a school shooter. If anyone has seen reporting otherwise I’d be interested to read it.

Often in a news article when someone is described as dying “suddenly” without any other explanation it’s understood to be a euphemism for suicide.

I assume you’re getting down voted because of AI use but I don’t mind it in this case because I think it’s a useful starting point for “how many big holidays are we talking about”

I am completely unfamiliar with that person

I didn’t take the image to be showing a macbook, it could just as easily be my computer or probably many others.

I like and use signal, but of course the problem is convincing someone else to start using it in order to send you a message.

I’ve seen people say there’s good weird and bad weird, and if you don’t mind calling yourself weird it’s probably the good kind.

As for calling maga people weird I think it’s effective because their whole deal is about vibes. “We’re strong, we’re smart” and it really bothers them to be perceived otherwise. It’s also not something you can “debate”. Either people accept it or they don’t. What are you going to say “no, I’m not weird”? Sure thing buddy.

I think the issue they’re raising is that these clips aren’t from porn, they’re from movies that happen to have nude scenes. They argue that taking the nude scene out of the larger context is molesting them.

I can understand not liking it, but I don’t see how it would be unexpected.

Impressive, but seems destined to fall apart. Companies like Spotify presumably have a sense of how “normal” users listen to music. You’d have to spend a fair amount of time mimicking that or you’d get found out eventually. (As he did)

Lol, all guns have zoom

I was thinking for now you need a ptz gun with a separate human controller from the human flight controller.
