Cool. So like... Kidnapping? Are people doing something illegal that allows cops to harass them?
It's a copy of a post from Reddit. The original OP seems a bit unhinged.
That's like shutting Lemmy down because a small minority uses it for terrorism. Lemmy isn't the problem, it's just a system.
There's been jokes that end up becoming reality so yearly fact-checks is appreciated
Oh man, if only someone would create a script that automates filling it out.
Also include a table of all the assholes.
Vibe coders, where you at?
Rules for thee.
In Idaho, a woman spoke out and was dragged out by security.
Daisy, once a healthy and energetic child, got sick about a month ago. She came down with a fever, sore throat, and eventually pneumonia.
The family tried to treat their daughter at home with cod liver oil, popular in the community for helping to 'strengthen the immune system'.
But when that failed, they took her to the hospital.
Hold on. So let me get this straight.
- Little girl is sick.
- Cod liver oil didn't work.
- Took her to the hospital.
- Unfortunately, it didn't work.
And this guy blames the Hospital?
Wow. You might as blame God, Mickey Mouse, and Tiktok dancers who also failed to keep her alive as well.
This isn't at all surreal to me. We saw this during the Trump Presidency #1. Just a toxic PoS with an insufferable staff spewing hostility.
And what did Biden do? Business as fucking usual. Taking the higher ground BS.
If 2028 is a fair election, and a hypothetical Democrat gets elected, I'm expecting more of the same. If Trump gets his 3rd term as he freaking demanded that happened, well -- we continue to move the goalpost of rock bottom looks like.
Yep.
NPR operates independently of the U.S. government. And while federal money is important to the overall public media system, NPR gets less than 1% of its annual budget, on average, from federal sources.

Goodreads is like Yelp for books.
Find a book written by a right wing author. Hundreds of ratings, and the reviews don't even talk about the book beyond the description. Lots of pesudo-science and bad faith arguments.
I got scammed by a few books. And worse, call out the issues with the books and your review gets shadow banned. Amazon doesn't have a urgency to remove these fake reviews because it'll affect sales.
Not just the Chinese. But Obama. And a side of DEI and woke.
Good on you! Usenet has been around for DECADES.
I don't have a guide that's modern. I'm just remembering how I used to connect in the 90s-2000s.
The way we made fun of the war on drugs, I hope the future does the same with the Got Milk! Bullshit.
YOU NEED PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.
Now, do you want the milk with 2% fat and 46% cow shit or not?
Ive already been on edge for the past 30 years with how American products aren't allowed directly in other countries because the EU bans certain chemicals.
And post-DOGE, I'm absolutely mortified.
Covid was a glimpse.
I had coworkers who left small towns because they were Asian. Imagine being Filipino and having racists shout Chinaflu at you. Every single Asian person I met has a story.
I also had a friend disown their parents because they harassed a Thai family all during covid, calling them child smugglers. I've met these people, and they were perfectly wonderful 15 years ago. Just oblivious racists.
If I recall, DKC also had a secret INSIDE a secret.
I was following a strategy guide to get the last bits of secret and that one was a pain in the buttholes.
I have a bachelor in game design btw...
This is why I like saying "average person" when I talk about specific topics.
People who study the art are much more attuned and go out of the ordinary. Like directors when they watch movies.

The interns complained about having to pay $18 for parking and I'm conflicted
I work downtown. I personally take the bus to work and walk.
While getting feedback from our paid intern's experience, one complained about having to pay for parking.
Because I naturally always support the interns, I pushed for that perk. Why shouldn't they get all the help they need? They're young, they have a busy life and they're trying their best.
But my coworker (who drives) said, "Theres street parking and they are complaining they have to walk 14 minutes over."
Now my internal "Fuck Cars" position is battling with my "Give the Interns everything".
I'm not the deciding factor. Just wanted to share this.

A project called "Remove-DEI" shows the tweaks used to remove "forbidden words" from a database about childhood school readiness.
A project called "Remove-DEI" shows the tweaks used to remove "forbidden words" from a database about childhood school readiness.
The updates, shown in Github commits, are to a database for the Department of Health and Human Services’ Head Start program. They show a project called “Remove-DEI,” which reveal some of the back-and-forth that is happening behind the scenes to align federal agencies with Donald Trump’s executive orders that forbid almost anything having to do with race or gender within federal agencies. The Github pages show software engineers discussing amongst themselves how to best remove all instances of “forbidden words” from a specific database, and the code updates they used to do it. The changes also show that, while thousands of government datasets are disappearing from the internet, even ones that remain are having parts of their utility deprecated or broken in a way that may not be visible to those outside the government.
