Most Americans on the west coast call any place a shipping container can unload or an aircraft carrier to dock a port.

A grand total of zero Americans would ever think to disambiguate a warm water port or not. Especially from Texas. That's the weird part. Not the word port itself.

Harbor is usually reserved for non-commercial or fishing use only.

This is exactly why having a couple of big instances is so beneficial. I don't want to have to manage the infrastructure of Lemmy. I don't want to think about banning instances for csam in particular. I want to be able to go to a place that has a set of rules I understand and that takes care of it for me.

Honestly, I don't think there needs to be a discussion about defederation anymore... maybe a non-stickied post... but the people who are against it need to leave / get over it. To the rest of us sane people, defederation is 100% an obvious necessity in an open social structure where things like csam even exists as a possibility. Even something as benign as bots is reason enough to defederate.

Just do it. We don't need to agonize over it or talk about it anymore. There are a lot of assholes in the world. I don't need to engage with them.

This is why Trader Joe's makes mini cakes.

Ketoacidosis can cause death... but this is usually the result of starvation or uncontrolled diabetes combined with sudden carb restrictions.

Anecdotes are not science.

Obesity and poor diet together do increase the risk of T2. There is a hereditary aspect to it but T2 is 100% a result of lifestyle or other diseases. People don't spontaneously develop T2 diabetes without eating too much... and sugar is the primary cause of the metabolic imbalance that results in T2 diabetes. It's not fucking magic that the A1C level is tied directly to your sugar and simple carbohydrate intake.... it is literally the result of using carbohydrates as fuel for your body.

No.

Again... since you are incapable of holding this though in your brain.

Ridiculing people and ad ideas are two... count them: one (1), two (2)... different things.

We aren't criticizing lonely people. Go take your strawman elsewhere.

Incel/NEET/sigma/Redpill "culture" 100% deserves as much and as frequent derision as fucking possible. The only remotely positive thing these horrendous ideas perpetuate for their target audience is the "grind mindset" (which in itself is horrifying). The only reason the "grind mindset" is helpful in these situations is that it helps people stuck in this world get into the real world.

Actually there was a steam script that deleted your Linux root drive... that was a real thing.

I could also totally see a botched install script for win95 totally bricking a win98. Install...

Yes.

I love the dank emojis. Bless the new generation for the new things you bring. Bless you.

One of my favorites is the fast inverse square solution.

It's like Fermat's Little theorem: meh, this is easy fuck you.

The rest of the world: what in the ever loving fuck is going on here? How in the... Jesus Christ... How did you?!? What is this black magic??!? What part of your soul did you sell for this?
