  • Fake Rolex Explorer and a shitty clone two-tone pistol. That’s the bodega owner’s special.

  • First Class amenities on Emirates Airlines
  • Nope, not even close. How the other 0.5% live.

  • What band, artist, or song do you enjoy listening to that is widely disliked?
  • I’m not sure how many bands even sit in the widely known and also disliked by most Venn diagram. The only example I can even think of is Phish, which I can’t stand but I know a guy who lives his whole life around their touring schedule.

  • What is wrong with some of you?

  • Regex filtering, so I can add “Reddit”.

  • Don't you agree that individuals that went back to reddit are the same type that don't want to stick to different stuff assuming that everyone else has done their research?
  • I sure wish the Reddit-obsessed would stick to their Reddit community. I am so sick of hearing about that place.

  • Who is your favourite Canadian?
  • Heh. I love the standard joke too. In my case I was an adult visiting the equivalent of a “dude ranch” during Stampede in Calgary. Maybe camp was the wrong term, as people probably envision Wet Hot American Summer style camp for kids.

  • Who is your favourite Canadian?
  • Jessica. Because we got it on on a blanket under a warm starry night at summer camp.

  • People have been having sex in the backs of taxis and Ubers for decades. That’s with another human in there. I suspect more people are willing to do stuff in a car when they feel like they are alone (they are being recorded on video). Especially inebriated people who are headed somewhere to have sex anyway.

  • How do I explain to a person that the "red pill mentality" is stupid?
  • This also presumes that aspects of the root cause are changeable. I grew up with a guy who became an incel in the pure sense, not political sense.

    The poor guy was hit with the ugly stick very badly, and then had an accident that left him partially disabled.

    When puberty hit and everyone became horny assholes, he had a double whammy of being a horny asshole too, but getting ignored (at best) or out-right derision from the teen girls he expressed interest in. He was also self-aware enough to both know that he was a hypocrite because he only wanted to date an attractive woman, and that he understood that goes both ways (societally and biologically) so he went into a cycle of vocal self-loathing.

    You can guess the rest. Those behaviors compounded and altered his personality to the point he was no longer the happy go lucky ugly ass dude and was now the guy who was just as ugly on the inside as the outside and no one wanted to be around that negativity.

    I have no idea what happened to him after college as I never went back to my HS town after my parents moved away from it. I would like to think he is doing better with age and therapy, but I doubt it.

  • Teens Hacked Boston Subway’s CharlieCard to Get Infinite Free Rides
  • I’ve been in multiple fantasy football leagues over the years that have had teams named “Orange Line Jumper”.

  • I always wonder how long a fresh coat of paint stays clean there. Every picture I’ve seen has moldy and flaking paint.

  • Out of curiosity, will you be able to weed out bad faith volunteers? I am sure there are a variety of interests that would be more than willing to pay a junior admin to be a Lemmy Sysop and it’s not like the candidate will volunteer that information.

  • Dad jokes are not just puns.

    I keep seeing people post puns as dad jokes. Worse yet, sometimes it’s just words that sort of sound like other words and aren’t even puns.

    Look, we know the seminal dad joke is:

    Kid: “I’m gay” Dad: “Hi Gay, I’m Dad!”

    I will endeavor to bring a better variety of dad jokes to the community, and I hope you shall as well.

    A little history on Reddit. From the politics subreddit with just 85,678 users in 2008 to 500 million active users today. Lemmy/Kbin will follow the same path.
  • Shills, activists, trolls, state actors, and advertisers follow the eyeballs. They don’t give a crap if it is on the fediverse or some other platform.

    If the fediverse capabilities can’t evolve to provide controls, then it’s doomed to failure. It’s already bad enough that bot accounts will create a new community then spam the crap out of it to appear on the “hot” view. Expect this to be turbocharged as the US enters another election cycle.

  • The creator of Pixelfed announced an upcoming encrypted messenger for the fediverse that will work across the fediverse
  • I’m not leaving Signal until someone implements keeping data at rest encrypted on both ends and requires multi factor unlock (bio+pin is my choice).

    So sick of E2E clients that leave the data in plaintext on the devices and then back it up in plaintext to the cloud.

  • Oppenheimer review I saw on my walk today.
  • This just isn’t true. The vast majority of the movie is people talking in rooms. There is nothing really added by the big screen. I wish I had just waited to stream it.

  • where do you guys register and manage www domains?
  • I just used google, but you can use pretty much any big service (they are all priced similarly) if you are worried about scamminess. I also didn’t feel like being harassed for “website builders” or the other crap smaller providers try to sell.

  • AirTag 2 will likely go to mass production in 4Q24.
  • It’s one more, isn’t it?

  • I blew my 12 year old’s mind this morning

    Driving to camp a local radio station was doing one of those fake call-in drama segments. My 12yo asked what I thought about the situation. I explained that those segments are fake and that the “callers” are local improv artists or out of work actors. After listening to the segment, my 12yo said”You can tell by their fake radio voice”. When we got to camp the first thing said after hellos was “Did you know those radio call in shows are fake?!”. I guess the tweens have a topic for the day.

    Is there a way to block communities by using a regex?

    I am still working through fediverse communities to curate my subscribed experience. As such, I still like to look at Local/All feeds to get ideas for additional subs. While doing that, there are many topics/communities that just aren’t relevant to me. I would like to be able to preemptively block them rather than have to manually click into their community to block them.

    Does the fediverse support regex use to block? I can’t find it anywhere. For example, if I don’t want to see anything related to “Bork” I would like to be able to use that regex to block all the “Bork” related communities (Bork, ActualBork, BorkinSmork, SmolBork, BorkCirclejerk, etc. ). Is this possible?
