It's always been a tax on people who can't do math. Or more accurately, don't understand statistics and/or are gambling addicts.

If you want to throw $5 at a Powerball for the hell of it, eh. Otherwise, unless you have an addiction and need help, I've got no sympathy for anyone playing the math tax.

See that's why I specify "the government" or "the big corporations." Also they're not conspiracy theories. As in "the pharma companies could sell you a cure for a million bucks, or a lifetime of treatments for a thousand a month, so they'll do both depending on your income bracket, and they will keep updating the formula to endlessly delay the sale of a cheaper generic that your insurance will actually cover." Because they actually do shit like that.

When I was a kid our kitten was a rescue my mother brought home from the place she took horseback riding lessons - the kitten got stuck inside the chip machine's coin box, so it works more whenever you fed the machine coins.

We ended up giving her the oh-so-original name snowball. Then her colors came in and we discovered her to be a calico. Oops. Kitty it is then. RIP kitty.

So they have a bot check to see if you've posted in a sub they don't like, which then auto-bans you if it finds you there.

The thought police are unpaid volunteers using bots now, I guess.

Go ahead and condone it. Nobody's forcing you to push the button after all.

10 per season with a 10 season contract, paid for by the ad proceeds. Overflow goes to rescuing puppies or something.

Might need to do a little work to clean all the carbon garbage out of there, but yeah that should be no prob.

Yes, but less excruciating.

I like it, but it needs some work to give it staying power. I say start with 1 billionaire, then once they've gotten a good, front-row whiff of the consequences, we start a blind bidding war for social services, a different one each episode. Whoever has the lowest bid gets a new and excruciating ending at the end of each episode. The one guy left standing at the end gives up his money for the final program, but gets to walk out alive.

Okay, first of all, you call 3 cups of coffee stimulant maxing? that's barely enough to get started on just the caffeine, before anything else is mixed in there.

 

Can somebody explain what's going on with this neck? His other work has nothing like this weirdness.

 

I started using Qwant (was using duck duck go) and noticed that search results are now including AI summaries. Is there a way to disable this bullshit, it do I need to go back to DDG?

 

I came up with a riddle and they claimed I was violating a rule. I argued that I was not and got permabanned. It was my first ever post there lol. I only posted there because there's not really a comparable Lemmy sub. Some mods are just so petty and stupid.

 

Modern photography doomed Still Lifes as a common type of pairing

 

See the screenshot; some links but not all show that gray area with the link name. This is in the Connect app but I can't find a setting for that - it just started happening one day in the last week or so.

Is there a way to fix this? Is it a Connect issue, a Lemmy issue, or unique to Discuss?

Thanks.

 

This is separate from the technical categorization of colors. Rather, how do you associate color families in your thoughts? Also, how good is your color vision, for comparison?

For me, I have excellent color vision;

  • Reds, pinks, magentas, very red oranges
  • Oranges, Yellows, Browns, very yellow greens
  • Greens
  • Most blues, purples, very blue greens
  • Whites, off-whites, creams, light blues
  • Black, grays, very dark blues, and other near-black colors that aren't browns
 

I guess that goes for eyebrows and other body hair in general, but it seems like hair loss with age is very specifically only on top of the head and nowhere else.
