Is the user base on lemmy really large enough to warrant an AI bot to shill payday loans? Like, come on man, let us have nice things for once in this goddamn hellscape of an internet.

This is a great write-up, thanks for your take.

Hey, I just set this up yesterday! Worked flawlessly for me so far, seems like a great project.

Humanity always seems to learn the wrong lessons from historical events, doesn’t it? Hurt people hurt people, I guess…

Excellently put.

Ughhhhhh, just logging in in the morning and seeing the tab header go to ‘Inbox (27)’ is awful.

+1 for airvpn. I’ve never had any issues, port forwarding works flawlessly, and you can get some incredible deals if you buy 3 years at a time during a sale.

I am continually reminded how glad I am that I made SJW my home base. Thank you.

They’re an acquired taste, to be sure.

Holy shit I think I blocked this one from my memory. Seriously, now big could the overlap between mistborn fans and fortnite players possibly be?

That’s fucking awesome.

+1 for MAM, both their community and collection is excellent.

I’m fond of wassail. It’s usually made with cinnamon, but you could exclude it and it should turn out alright.

The colors on that are kinda confusing. 6tn years is yellow, but 2k years is green?

I’m guessing they knew that it likely wasn’t a problem with being ugly, so the therapist did this ‘experiment’ as a way of demonstrating that. Seems pretty solid to me, actually.

Took me all of 30mins to spin up a local invidious instance. Worth every second

Likewise… haven’t found a good way to do this yet.

Congrats bro

The joke is literally just “everyone hates dentist appointments, therefore a dentist could use it as punishment for his son”. I really don’t think the overtones were meant to go deeper than that.

This one’s interesting, because it hails from a time when there was more of a cultural underpinning to the term - companies had a cultural obligation to at least keep up a facade of taking care of their customers, and calling customers guests was explicitly meant to convey a sense of safety and comfort.

It has the exact opposite effect now, because the customer’s interests are often in direct opposition to those of the company. The company thinks it owns you, and no longer cares what you think about it.
