I guess, but even there… I fail to see the target there. IE truth social and xitter at least have a reason alt right extremists need them… IE facebook and old twitter would occasionally ban people or put fact checks on some nazi rhetoric and blatent false stories. To my knowledge no e-mail provider is going to ban you for sending that FW:FW:FW:FW: My dog was infected by my son’s friends covid vaccine, and my hatian neighbor became trans after eating it.

I think something he just plain doesn’t get… who on earth is the target demographic. There’s no shortage of e-mail services, outlook, yahoo, gmail, as public easy to use ones.

So what I gather, the closest to a major “feature”, is to remove formatting and image ability from the e-mail. Which… most likely means existing e-mails formatted for other platforms, will error out or be unreadable unless individuals choose not to use their formatting ability from their mail clients?

Gmail rose to fame, because it actually solved a real problem. IE at the time gmail came out, hotmail was offering like 10 MB of storage. Google offered 1GB. A change so big people thought the anouncement was just an april fools joke (admitted, announcing it on april 1st was probably intentional for that as well).

Well I mean 2 problems.

1. Same problem every social network has… without intense marketing, budget etc… Usage will be low. Same reason why say you don’t see, a bunch of lemmy groups for niche or local topics. Because it’s mostly nerds etc, and the only topics that are going to have enough people to be useful are ones with national/international appeal because likely there’s on average one lemmy user per several cities.

2. Review sites need intense moderation and verification to be useful. Problem is of course going to be either companies themselves posting swarms of reviews to make themselves look great, or competitors or people with personal grudges posting to make them look bad.

Umm… correct me if I’m wrong, but why are we acting like license plates is some super duper fancy tech.

I can hack my physical low tech license plate too… all I need is paper, a color printer and some tape.

Or if we want to go super high tech and expensive, get an LCD screen or tablet to cover the license plate so you can change it on the fly.

License plates aren’t some super duper complex thing… people have been forging, and stealing them off of other cars since they’ve come out. The actual hinderance is that if you are pulled over and your license plate doesn’t match the vehicle you are in, you are likely in a world of extra charges.

Question, does that mean 250 people were framed and went to jail. Or did the series go 250 episodes without a single satisfying bad guy catch.

You know, that makes me think of a really interesting spinoff, Imagine if someone made dexter, from the perspective of a non dexter character. (IE Oh I think we’re close to catching the serial killer, and… he’s vanished off the face of the earth… oh shit the murderer was one of our detectives… and he’s already dead. Oop another serial killer, and he’s gone.

To me ‘snitches get stitches’ means ‘don’t rat out the people you were doing the thing with because that makes you a traitor’.

Least people who do shitty things… don’t tend to make that distinction. It’s often used as a threat to bystanders and even victims. IE I took your lunch money, if you go to the teacher about it, we will beat you up.

If you are talking friends who participate, the implied violence would be unnecessary really. You roll on your friends when doing something against the rules, your friends will never include you in their activities again.

In defence that’s not a landline issue, that’s a god damn rotary phone. Touchtone phones were invented in 1963. So… people under 60 years old have likely never used them. I’m nearly 40, I’m pretty sure cordless phones were pretty standard in my house.

That being said, yeah even cordless phones, you’d surely know the basestation isn’t where the sound comes from. Though I’d imagine it’s probably just in ease of communicating the joke, as the focus is to make sure the reader isn’t mistaking it to be the girl speaking, as if you put it at the earpiece that’s still roughly where you’d put a speach bubble to represent the girl speaking without a phone.

There’s a lot that I would say that are just crazy to me when they become inherent by definition indoctrination.

Circumcision and childhood baptism also fall into those categories for me. Want to devote yourself to a religion have at it. but how the hell is it not a huge ass red flag to encourage the major changes and opinions at an age that clearly decisions can’t be made.

Baptism at least can be ignored… it’s a bath at worse, a sprinkle at best. But it’s still a facepalmingly stupid concept at best when the child clearly isn’t the one making the decision (obviously excluding when adults decide to be baptised, I have no objections there).

Same for teaching kids to pledge allegiance to a piece of cloth. Same for “teach them to love their country etc…”.

No you know what, teach them accurate history of their country, and of other countries. When they have understanding of it, let them compare, see what our country does good, did bad, with context of what other countries did that was good, and bad.

and I would also note the sad thing of the blue shell as the analogy, is it fits very well in orwells analysis. (going majorly from memory so, feel free to correct me if I’m wrong), but in short if I recall, the outer party could use the proles to become the new inner party, however no matter what party was in power, the proles position as the bottom rung of society remains constant no matter what they do.

Sadly the blue shell is a very similar analogy there. Why so many people hate the blue shell in mario kart is it’s typically only obtainable if you are in 7th or 8th place. and it’s effect is typically to knock first place into 2nd or 3rd place, but if the race isn’t particularly tight it has little impact on the outcome of the player that threw it. (he’s still in last place).

well whether popular doesn’t neceserally mean ungood. though I’m pretty skeptical when it comes to search engines as the amount they have to build up information wise to potentially be good is pretty extreme, it’s unlikely that someone could accomplish it without actually being known

edit: oh shit, it’s just AI crap… nevermind any of my potential it’s not impossible that a hidden gem would be feasilble it’s AI crap. No nobody needs a search engine to bring up something that you can’t verify if it’s credible information or just random guesses made by what’s popular on the internet… completely worthless.

pretty sure the taste buds die before they can send their report to the brain.

aren’t they supposed to look at the fully written out

“One hundred dollars 0/100” part of the check. Either way someone can slip in a 1 or a zero somewhere in the paper.

To my knowledge, he claimed specifically the money in his bag was planted. Specifically they said there was US and foreign cash in his bag. The fact that Luigi is denying the cash but admitting to the gun and manifesto. To me I think he knew he was going down… but I would be far from supprised if the money was planted either to raise it up to 1st degree murder… or while I’m very far from legally qualified… if they could try and claim he was doing a job for an enemy of the US, could they buypass the trial?

I don’t think it’s fair to liken luigi to the unibomber. Ignoring that his methods were also crazy. The biggest thing to point out on the unibomber is his victims were every day people. Obviously his method was made with collateral damage as a high possibility.

Luigi, his political leanings seem to be all over the place. But at the end of the day his only victim, was someone who inarguably made choices knowing they would result in the deaths of many people, and bankrupt and ruin the lives of many more.

I believe the point is, usually your kids don’t have the power to see through walls. Of course I’m pretty sure most interpretations of superman, Depending on the interpretation of superman, he discovers his powers between 12 and 18.

Fortunately in criminal trials if the Jury can return a not guilty verdict, that’s game over for the states case. Double jeopardy they can’t retry.

Now if one guy on the Jury opposes a guilty verdict, and no verdict is reached, then the state can retry.

Honestly my only hope is… that the lone gunman suicidal “I want to go down in a way to be remembered” kinds of shooters. Learn from this, and consider shooting a wealthy CEO instead of a school or movie theatre etc…

I in no way want more violence… but I believe it would be nice if the “we can’t do anything about” violence, were more top of the power chain instead of bottom.

100% agreed. Might I recomend making https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqH_Y1TupoQ go as viral as possible.

Well I’d say… could it also be plausible he was going for another CEO.

Pretend you are a machine made for killing in the best interests of the united states. Who would you kill
